Howto update from Aeotec gen2 to Aeotec Gen5 or UZB without rebuilding your Indigo 5.x-7

A backup of the Aeotec stick is not available. So we cannot directly move the network to the new controller by simply unload and reload. The only way to move the network to the new Gen5 (or UZB) stick is to use the old Zensys Tool named ZwaveController.

Indigo Touch Radio Control Page with Dynamic Buttons Indigo 2.x-4.x

This is a tutorial for creating a radio control page for your AV or whole- house audio system. Because it is based on presets, it is easy to update new stations. To eliminate page clutter, this control page uses dynamically updated buttons that change to the appropriate stations depending on if AM or FM is selected.

LP Tank Remote monitoring with text alerts Indigo 5.x-6

I had been looking for a solution to remotely monitor the level LP gas in my outside tanks with Indigo for years. I gave up waiting, and decided to create one myself. I'm happy to say that it has been working quite reliably for a year now. I can see my tanks' level (as a % full value) on my control page, and get text alerts when the level passes thresholds I choose, and also when the propane company comes and refills it while I'm away.

This solution operates over ZWave and requires two special hardware items, a MimoLite, and an R3D Hall Effect Module. More detail in the attached document.

Please note that I am not an electrician or plumber. I believe this implementation is very safe, and the R3D device is intrinsically safe, per the Rochester specifications. Having noted that, install this solution at your own risk. Please feel free to contact me if you find any information you feel is incorrect.

Enjoy!

Python script for controling Samsung Smart TV Indigo 5.x-6

With this script I can turn of my Samsung TV in the kitchen. Control codes are included for other functions like changing channels, volume or input. The only thing it cannot do is turn on a TV. Wake On Lan was available a short time but Samsung disabled that possibility in a firmware upgrade.

All credits go to the good folks at the Samygo forum who disected the iPhone/Android remote app.

SMA Sunnyboy Solar Inverter (SMASpot) Indigo 6.x-7

Xytronix Temperature Module - Update Version 2.0 Indigo 2.x-4.x

The Xytronix Temperature module can read up to 4 electronic thermometers and this AppleScript passes the temperature readings along to Indigo. The Temperature Module connects to your Local Area Network (or via the internet with proper routing).

Getting accurate and reliable temperature data is an important part of improving overall energy efficiency. Automatically controlling windows, shutters and shades, whole-house fans, heat exchangers, solar hot water", and much more is possible using Indigo, AppleScript and the Xytronix Temperature module.

Alternative Weather Icons Indigo 5.x-6

Hey,

Here's a complete, I hope, set of NOAA weather icons that are named as the originals for ease of use.

Aside from being different graphically I have also modified the icons that are below a 50% probability to not reflect that weather

condition and instead show a "Fair" condition. IMHO it's more accurate to show the most likely condition to occur.

Christmas Icons for Control Pages Indigo 5.x-6

Zip file with Christmas Tree and Christmas String Lights for use with control pages for Devices. Heuristics set for "On" and "Off" states.

DISCLAIMER: I don't remember where I got the Christmas Tree images's, but I fairly certain I got them from this website, so not claiming those as original work.

The Christmas String lights are taken from a Google search, where I just desaturated the "Off" state, and left the "On" state colorized.

Label template for RemoteLinc 2440 Indigo 2.x-4.x

This is a simple PDF template that, when cut to the tick-marks, will fit nicely in a RemoteLinc 2440. It requires some kind of graphics application that can open and edit PDFs such as Adobe Illustrator or Acrobat in order to put in your own terms or change the colors. It's currently designed for a black RemoteLinc. If you want to make your own the size of the template is 2.43" x 1.27". If you want to match the font used on the RemoteLinc, I think it's Futura Medium.
