If you just create a startup trigger to launch that script, it will create a pile of weather variables and populate them at regular intervals. Those variables can then be used anywhere, such as in the custom email How-To. To create that trigger, follow the steps in this excerpt from the iTunes How-To, but select the “Weather NOAA sync.scpt” file instead (if you've already created this trigger, just add another acti… text/html 2010-06-29T20:27:56-05:00 Jay Martin http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/wiki/doku.php?id=iolinc_garage_door_alert&rev=1277861276&do=diff There are several options for alerting you when your garage door is open. The intent of this page is to show you those options. How to create an email or SMS alert if a garage door is left open at night Level Of Difficulty: Moderate This wiki is intended to enable the I/O Linc Garage Door Kit and Indigo to provide an email or SMS alert when a garage door is left open past a certain time at night. text/html 2010-06-05T09:38:53-05:00 Jay Martin http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/wiki/doku.php?id=applescript_conditionals&rev=1275748733&do=diff This How-To will show several common and useful AppleScript Condition scripts.

To be honest, the capabilities of all of the current standalone controllers (PowerLinc 2414/1132, CM15 and CM11/CM12) are extremely limited compared to what Indigo can offer. These controllers don't generally have enough memory, processing power, or an extensible embedded OS that would allow for the the types of home automation tasks that Indigo is so good at.

Indigo supports many different types of X10 devices. In many of the How-Tos on this site, you can use INSTEON and X10 modules interchangeably. Remember, however, that X10 modules don't repeat their signals, so you may find the technology less reliable. Adding X10 repeaters may help. text/html 2010-06-01T17:13:03-05:00 Jay Martin http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/wiki/doku.php?id=common_ha_tasks&rev=1275430383&do=diff On this page, we wanted to link to common how-tos.

Note: while dimmer switches and relay switches look very similar, they have a fundamental difference that you should read about.
