Unable to set thermostate schedule with home control

Is anyone else having problems setting their thermostate schedule? I get an error message that the system was unavailable. I am getting really frustrated that I can't rely on this system. I have invested alot of money in everything, and it doesn't seem to be a very stable platform. Can anyone help me out?

I had the same problem for 3 days in a row. Each day I re-programmed the thermostat at the start of the cold weather. The next day I would check and it was back to the original settings. On the 4th day the settings finally took.
I called Verizon (as I have done about 50 times) and they had no solution other than to tell me they were doing some updates to the site and that might take care of it. My Energy Reader still doesn't give accurate readings about 1/2 the days. It seems to get signals mixed with the Appliance Switches I have. I've called Verizon on that as well and got the same reply so apparently it is their scripted answer. I also get the "server is currently busy, try again later" message frequently. Other than that things are working well.
I have talked to the Manager and Developers and they are supposed to be getting back to me with solutions but it is going on 2 months and the problems still exist (except for the Thermostat which worked because of my persistence).
This would be a nice system if they would resolve the bugs in it. I tried MiCasaVerde for a month and their system worked flawlessly but I couldn't use the cameras I bought from Verizon due to their coding them to prevent that. The manufacturer of the cameras said they should work unless the company changes the code in them which apparently Verizon does. Other than that I would have stayed with MiCasaVerde but decided to work with Verizon and hopefully get the thing working right. 
They seem to spend more time on making the system proprietary than resolving customer issues. I've had the system for over 8 months now and have seen little improvement. My patience is running out. I won't even expound on new services that were supposed to be added and never have been.

  • Unable to set kernel parameters using Reource Control

    HI,
    I'm trying to install DB2 8.2 on solaris 10.the problem i'm encountering in installation is unable to set MSGMAX and MSGMNB kernel parameters. I tried setting the new replacement parameter process.max-msq-qbytes through projects->Resource Control from the management console.but still uinable to set the parameters.
    Can anyone help me in setting the above kernel parameters.
    Its not possible to set it thru /etc/system.
    thanx
    guru

    I finally had some time to find the actual syntax for tuning process.max-msq-qbytes and process.max-msg-messages. prctl will change those paramaters for an existing process.
    As a proof of concept I changed process.max-msg-messages to a 64k. process 2221 is my shell.
    prctl -n process.max-msg-messages  -r -v 64k 2221
    bash-3.00# prctl 2221
    process: 2221: -csh

    So long as I'm experimenting, I'll use projadd and add a new project which just includes me and not the rest of the users in the group staff.
    bash-3.00# projadd -p 115 -U testuser \

    -K "process.max-msg-qbytes=(priv,64K,deny)" \

    ...Solaris 10 has different tunables and default values from 8 and 9. It's default tunables should be good for most applications per a given system's hardware. There are some great blog articles, and discussions on opensolaris.org and blogs.sun.com on tuning that explain the intent of tuning and why we shouldn't have to tune.

  • Unable to set up iOS app remote control

    Hello.
    Since updating to Lion and iTunes 10.4, I have been unable to connect iOS apps (on iPod/iPhone/iPad) to iTunes. In Preferences -> Devices, the option to look for remotes is gone, and replaced with the text "iTunes is not paired with any remotes". I have searched for a remedy for this issue online without results. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?
    Regards
    Snorre

    Replying to my own question: Problem solved. I went to "Settings" in the iOS Remote app and deleted the settings for my iTunes library. I noticed that Home Sharing was disabled. I re-enabled it, entered my iTunes account user name and password, and now all is well! The library is again available on all my iOS devices.

  • Unable to set up networking with systemd-networkd

    I'm trying to set up networking on a VPS I purchased.
    When I boot off the arch install image, the networking set up is configured via DHCP and everything seems to work perfectly.
    This is the configuration I see from the
    ip addr
    and
    ip route
    commands:
    http://i.imgur.com/yeLFO6x.png
    I proceeded to follow the instructions at the systemd-networkd page, and enabled the right services.
    I also created an ethernet.network file in the correct directory.
    You can see the contents of the file in the following screenshot, along with the ouput of some of the ip commands in the following screenshot.

    I'm unable to ping google, but somehow I'm able to curl successfully download the google.com page via curl.
    I've demonstrated this in the following screenshot. I cannot fathom how this is possible.

    I'll be happy to provide any other information that could be useful, and would really appreciate some help getting to the bottom of this.
    Thanks a tonne.

    That subnet is not only odd - it should not work.
    A /32-subnet is perfect for localhost and the like. It basically means you can't reach any other IP than your own.
    Also the gateway from your provider's DHCP-server (first screenshot) ist very far away from your own IP. I'm too lazy to calculate, but in order to reach that gateway with that IP, the netmask would have to be between 16 and 8.
    In short: I can easily tell you why it wouldn't work - what I don't get is why it worked with curl in your setup or your provider's DHCP and/or what your provider did there.
    In any case: talk to your provider - they might be able to give you the correct addresses/masks and maybe shed some light (I'm really very curious).

  • Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

    I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

    Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
    And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
    "I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
    "MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
    "The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter
    Even Windows people have trouble:
    "I NEED INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONNECT MY HP LAPTOP TO THE CANON MX860 PRINTER."
    "I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
    And, unhappy Vista person:
    "I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

    Hi I am serious. This issue is occuring. Please can someone try it out and see if its occuring for you too.
    I have no solution for this. I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3 and my project is ADF BC JSF
    Test case: Have 2 to 3 selectOneChoice in a search page. All three should be populated by view objects. Let Vo_1 and Vo_2 have the key values as 1 and vo_3 can have key value as string. Each selectOneChoice should have "Include labelled Item" in "No Selection Item' in edit binding.
    First select a value on any one of the dropdowns such that the query returns no results. Now the The other dropdowns will still be default labelled item and the one that was selected is still set so. Now when I select an option in any other dropdown and search, it gives the below error

  • I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

    Hi there -
    I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
    Please help!

    Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
    Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
    Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
    You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
    Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
    Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

  • Whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?

    whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?
    My old 6100 AV worked great on A10 ATTACK, back in 1993.
    whats a good set up now a days?
    I havent seen any MAC set ups as a lot of the after market accessories are on  Windows platform.
    Is there a way or should I get a dedicated simulator on PC?

    The fact that USB flight input devices appear to Windows only is not a limitation; for Mac most are programmed through the sim itself. I know X-Plane does that.
    I've simmed a lot and know that good sims need a lot of processor and video hardware horsepower, and you'll also need a lot of RAM. They also run up the internal temps. A Mac Pro has better cooling than an iMac. You can get a program like SMCFanControl to manually set up the fans speeds before starting the sim.
    I know of no sims today that will still run on a PowerPC Mac (2005 and earlier) so you need to look to an Intel Mac with top specs. If looking at iMacs, start by looking for the quad-core i7 processor. Those models usually came with an up-rated video card. Thing 12 to 16GB RAM.
    My 2010 iMac has the 2.93gHz i7 processor, video hardware (ATI 5750) with 1TB VRAM, and 12 GB of RAM. It runs the x-Plane 10 demo fine but I've not bought the full version because v10 seems to make foot pedals darned near mandatory, and I don't want $100 worth of pedals under my regular work desk at the moment.

  • When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel

    When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel..Does anyone know how to resolve?

    Hi,
    It seems that Captivate is not downloaded completely. Only one file is downloaded(i.e. .exe) , .7z file is missing.  You can follow the below instructions to download Captivate 7 via direct links.
    In order to download Adobe Captivate 7.0 Windows English, open the link mentioned below and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
    Once you sign In with your Adobe Id and password, you will be redirected to Adobe Captivate 7.0 download page, Do not click on download. Kindly stay on that page and paste the below two links on the Trail Page Address Bar  one by one and save the files on your system at same location:
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.7z
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.exe
    When both the files finish downloading, then run the second file (.exe) which will start extracting the first file (.7z) and will start installing Adobe Captivate 7.0 on your computer.
    Regards,
    Mayank

    unable to set parental controls on Itunes b/c my user name and password got rejected.  How do I reset them or figure out my username and password?

    This is a user to user support forum.  We are all iphone users just like you.
    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
    "it's too fragile"
    No it is not.  i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
    " U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
    No you don't.  Why do you think this?
    "and there is no customer support!!!  "
    Wrong yet again.  Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
    "but I will go back with Blackberry "
    Please do.
    Good ridance

  • [CUPS] Unable to set my new CUPS server with an HP printer (solved)

    Hello,
    I come from Gentoo and I just installed my new Arch Linux server on a notebook with 2 NIC ... Now, I'm trying to set the CUPS deamon to share printer (HP DESKJET 895Cxi) for 3 workstations in my LAN. Before, it was working (printer and linux ... has never been very good...). But now, I'm not able, and it's about 1 hour I'm looking for a stupid error that I don't know if it's important or not ...
    (all is on my Wiki : http://pix-mania.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cups)
    Here are a list of installed package : cups ghostscript gsfonts hplip
    The printer (USB) :
    (lsusb)
    Bus 002 Device 004: ID 03f0:0004 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 895c
    (dmesg)
    usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
    usblp0: Disabling reads from problematic bidirectional printer
    usblp0: USB Unidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x0004
    Current configuration (only change made to original configuration) :

    <Location /admin/conf>
    AuthType Default
    Require user @SYSTEM
    Order allow,deny
    Allow From all
    </Location>
    When starting cups service, all is fine : I can use a workstation to browse the Web Interface ... but printer seems to be not detected since it tells "No printers." when clicking on "Printers" tab. So, I go to "Administration" tab and, under "Printers", I click the "Find New Printers" and again, it says : "No printers found.".
    Not goot ... so, like I was doing with Gentoo, I click on "Add Printer" ... then, I receive a redirection to HTTPS ... click on the link (or wait) and nothing happend (timed out): web interface is broken for HTTPS ... I really got no idea why HTTPS is not working .
    After that, when updating the configuration (with vim) and restarting the service, deamon won't stop and I have to send a "kill -9" to the cupsd pid ...
    I look in log and I can just see this :
    E [09/Jan/2011:18:19:55 +0100] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
    I googled for one hour, but is not more working right now ...
    Some questions :
    - the printer is not detected? Is it because of the ACLs errors ?
    - what the hell is "ACLs" for cups ? Never seen that before ...
    So, right now, I got a working HTTP but not working HTTPS, with no printer available ... very useless
    This printer is working "well" with cups, since it's an old model and it's a HP printer, so is "fully?" working on Linux ...
    Any idea on what to do/try now ?
    EDIT: after that message, I just refresh the page (I'm using Chromium) and ... magically, HTTPS was working (after accept untrusted certificate for HTTPS?) ... Then, go back to "Find New Printers" and now, it was working. Printer has been added ... Seems to be OK, but the "Print Self Test Page" doesn't work right now because of this :
    Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-command'!

    EDIT3: I tested the ppd from cups (and not hpijs) and got the same problem ... The latest idea was to unplug USB and plug to another USB ... and it seams to works ... Now, the test page print "fine" ...
    So, I shared the printer over my LAN, and tried to print from a workstation ... it works fine now ... when looking error_log, I can see than there is no more Ghostscript error .
    But I have a last question .. if somebody can answer ... When choosing a PPD file, I have the choice between 3 version :
    - hpijs, 3.10.9
    - hpijs, 3.10.9.11
    - hpcups, 3.10.9
    Don't know why onlyl the HPIJS got the ".11" and not any others ... I selected this one and here is what Cups say about the printer :

    I hope when upgrading the system, I will not get error from PPD file not found ... With my current PPD file, I get (really not sure) this error, but print is working so, it doesn't matter :
    E [09/Jan/2011:21:08:04 +0100] [CGI] Unable to create avahi client: No such file or directory
    E [09/Jan/2011:21:08:04 +0100] [cups-deviced] PID 5705 (dnssd) stopped with status 1!
    E [09/Jan/2011:21:08:09 +0100] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-db-ppds/Kyocera/ReadMe.htm"!
    Thanks for all .. hope you don't think I'm crazy ^^

    WD and their lack of support for Mavericks:
    A recent email from WD reads:
    Dear WD Registered Customer,
    UPDATE: November 1st, 2013
    As a valued WD customer we want to make you aware of new reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9). WD is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive, please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wd.com/country/ for further assistance.
    The WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager, and WD SmartWare software applications are not new and have been available from WD for many years. However, solely as a precaution WD has removed these applications from our website as we investigate this issue.
    Sincerely,
    Western Digital
    Which is basically Western Digital informing you that their out-of-date utilities don’t support Mavericks.
    In any case those utilities are not the most effective. The moral of the story is: the first thing you should do after buying a WD drive is to format it as HFS Extended (Journaled) and not install ANY of their utilities but instead use reliable applications like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper - or Time Machine.
