    Anyone try to set Macro Text via URL?

    It actually also fails with a U13 session open for me as well. I may have some other settings that are preventing it, I'll have to look deeper into it when I get a chance.

    Anyone try to set Macro Text via URL?

    Yeah it fails. I guess for now I'll stick with using the credentials, I'd be stuck with doing that for my Dahua cameras anyways.

    Anyone try to set Macro Text via URL?

    I was going to come back and post that you can use more than just the 9 macros. I had a feeling that we'd be able to use more than just 9 so I tested yesterday while I was setting up all my weather cam overlays. So far I'm using macros 11-30. Thanks for the info on the &session=session. To be...

    Anyone try to set Macro Text via URL?

    I'm so glad I came across this post, I was trying to do the same thing because the data used from WU via BITools is always way behind and doesn't support some of the data I get from my station into ISY. This is the first place I came across the macro=%text= which just made everything really easy...

    Blue Iris compatible doorbell/intercom/2 way audio

    While the Doorbird still looks the the best fit my wants and needs and even with it's ability to tell my home automation controller to unlock the z wave doorlock I'm likely to be switching over to it wiil still cost a good bit than adding something to one of these bellow (I can actually probably...

    BI motion sensor zone grid size

    Well I figured out what was casing the backwards grid sizes. The camera's default resolution is 2688 x 1520 which isn't a true 16:9. I used the force size setting to 2688 x 1512 and now when HD is unchecked I get larger grid size on zones and smaller ones when HD is checked as one would expect...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    To deal with things blowing in the wind I've set up zone crossing (A-B, were for my driveway cam A is everything, B is just the driveway minus some area by garage doors and side yard plus some area to the side of the drive way). I still gets some false triggers in the AM by the garage doors(due...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    That doesn't work very well for me. While a 4g+ -100db signal actual works pretty well, with the VPN turned on it makes like I've got no data connection if it's anything less. I end up having to turn it so I just do it after I'm done viewing BI. I'm actually thinking about turning on my MAC...

    BI motion sensor zone grid size

    I'm just curious about something I just noticed. If I turn on the HD setting on the motion sensor configuration menu the zone grid size changes like if you change 4MP resolution to a 2MP resolution. This doesn't really make any sense to me, if it does 4x the samples I'd think if anything it...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Ah, I'm not using openVPN, I use my router's built-in VPN is IPSec/L2TP/PPTP. I'll keep that app in mind if/when I replace my router with one that supports openVPN like my old one(I replaced because it didn't support VLANs) Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    You know you can setup an always connected VPN with Androids native VPN settings. If what you have is working for you that's fine, I just prefer to not install anything I don't need to(I already have 256 apps on my daily driver) My wife's the opposite, she only cares about connecting to our...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I'd also like some more info about this so I can set it up on my wife's idevices. Being an Android guy it drives me nuts trying to do things on an iphone and I prefer to know exactly what I need to do before getting so I don't have spend much time on it. Is this all done with native support or...

    Home Automation, Lights and Locks.

    Never had an IT job but I do know enough about it to get into trouble(I know nothing like many of the guys I've seen on here), I do have have a pretty complex home network though, spanning tree of L2 switches, VLANs and VPN. Prior to Field service I did work as an electronics technician at...

    Home Automation, Lights and Locks.

    I'm not sure how this is reliant for the subject but I service CNC machines(I guess technically that's automation but totally different than home automation). I'm pretty sure UDI started out making the ISY purely for automation of Insteon(Insteon hub can't do any calculations), it physically...

    Recommendations on Z-wave sensors.

    I have several Aoetech 6 multi sensors and ceiling/wall mounts for some of them. At first I didn't like the idea of the 123a batteries but even using rechargeables it get better life than any of the other multi sensor I've tried. I think I have all mine set to trigger for 30 sec and my...

    ceiling fan

    Yeah, there really isn't much for fan controllers on z-wave, between better multi-button(scene controller) switches and a proper(minus reverse) fan/light controller I've stuck with Insteon for my fans and wall switches. Best option is to stick a GE fan control wall switch in the canopay for fan...

    Home Automation, Lights and Locks.

    I use an ISY with IR and Z-wave modules. I have Insteon, Z-wave and webcontrols interacting with each other via the ISY. I also have integration with Echo, Harmony, Tasker/auto voice and BI. Like Domiticz, ISY can take a bit more work to set up. My setup does true automation as well as simple...
