On version 209, I had select stations until I did a reboot and then it disappeared...

Can you share the driver?

Not fair! That means you have a monitorIng system of some sort and are contributing to Weather Underground or you are paying a lot of money... no disrespect, but I am assuming the former!

Let us know how it goes!

OK, so we had a massive rain storm last night and in the early hours of the morning but “rain today” and “rain in the last hour” both remained at 0mm throughout. I’m not sure if this is a bug in the driver or if the weather station that my area is linked to does not measure rainfall or what the story is... Does anyone else see these variables working (returning non-zero values)? As a matter of interest, does anyone know what weather service is being used?

This! And from what I hear, Dan will do a good job helping you. Good luck @nimsoc

The item I am most interested in is precipitation today... mine has it but we have had no rain for the last couple of days, so I cannot tell if it works. It shows zero which is obviously right, hopefully that changes when there is rain. I can live with it measuring a few blocks away as long as it is roughly right!

Yip. Version 209 popped up for me.

Yes, it can be programmed to arm the DSC alarm system at a given time. Programming is done in Composer (HE or Pro) once the driver is installed and set up. Installation and setup is done in Composer Pro (dealer software).

Ok, so my dealer has the top secret Beta driver (maybe I’m not supposed to have seen it? Shh!). But the good (great) news is that the driver is (appears to be) an update on the current Weather Underground driver (version 207 is what I saw compared to version 104 which is what I have) and the only difference that I could see is that NO API key was needed. I can only assume that C4 is paying for the API key which is really cool!

Have you added your phone to the “All” group (assuming that is what you have set the Door station to call) in the Communication Agent?

Definitely out of the box... but I’m going to try this for fun!

Why Wap, I am sure this won’t break... once it is out, I am confident it will work just fine.

Would you expect a “rain in the last hour” and “rain today” variable or will that be a limitation also at this point

Me too!

The driver is working again Thanks Chowmain!

I am getting a 404 error... whatever that may mean. Good suggestion for a driver change. Maybe @alanchow will give it some thought when he gets back...

Trouble Event Data does not do what you are looking for with this driver... Last Zone NotReady Name will give you the correct zone name 999 times out of 1000.

I also have the Domosapiens driver and that is what I do.

I am looking at installing Sensus water meters... it looks like they will be easy to integrate to C4. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Sounds like a broken sensor... have you tried resetting the keypad? To answer your second question. You can make it stay bright in Monitoring (there may be a setting otherwise in Customise you can set the brightness to bright even when there is no ambient light...)

Thanks... does not make the V2 sound too exciting! Not that I use the Wi-Fi...

I see yo say “on the EA-1” there is no real difference. Are ou saying that there is more of a difference on the EA-3 or the EA-5?

Yeah, mine was pretty useless until I turned off the light sensor and has been great since then...

All have their uses. Typically, I use Follow Connection for most of my lights as this requires no programming and is quick and easy. I use push / release for alarm panic buttons. They stay red normally (ie when released) and go black (off) when pushed. I use programming for music, blinds and other such things and in complicated lighting scenarios anywhere where I have more than 2 LED colours) or where I don’t always want the LED to show even though the light is on (e.g. I don’t have the LED activate if lights come on due to motion sensors).
