Unable to access Admin Console
Perhaps, but nobody on this forum or at Universal devices was able to find point me to it.

Unable to access Admin Console
Not true. I had the same problem with one of my systems. Went on for months. Only solution was to upgrade my ISY when an upgrade became available. Paul

Announcements with Yolink and speaker
The speaker can say multiple phrases or recordings of your own voice or other sounds that can be tied to multiple triggers. I'm am stuck on PG2 since one of the node servers I need to move to PG3 and use the yolink Node server hasn't been ported.

Announcements with Yolink and speaker
I have my yolink speaker sitting next to a google home device. I use it to initiate google broadcasts of various messages throughout my home. I imagine it could do anything a google home voice command can.

Upgrading Polisy firmware to 5.4.4 using the "Upgrade Firmware" function in the portal?
Glad to hear I'm not the only one that feels this way. Really liked PG on Raspberry Pi. Reluctantly bought Polisy, but haven't had the courage to move to IoP, even though the node server I'd really like to add only runs on PG3, while at least one that use heavily hasn't been ported from PG2 yet. Thought about Home Assistant in the past and with both of the integrations I'd like to use being available, maybe it's time to take the plunge.

ISY offline in Google Home
Well it turns out my changes to the switch were coincidental to another issue. Turns out my cottage, in Canada, is part of a nation wide internet outage on Rogers. This home also uses Google home and an ISY. It was the first installation and @Michel Kohanimsuggested I try changing my preferred ISY to current location from it. It worked! Nothing to do with the insteon device change. Thanks @Michel Kohanim!

ISY offline in Google Home
Been using Google Home with ISY since it became available. A few minor issues in the beginning, but stable for at least 4 years. Today I had to replace an Insteon Switch that had failed. No replacements available so I took a switch that was largely unused out of a 3 way light circuit and used it. The switch that failed had a spoken in google home. I deleted it and replaced it with a new spoken for this replacement switch. When I uploaded to Google home it told me the old switch was deleted and I added this one when it appeared with no room association. Now nothing works. Google home says "Offline" to all my ISY devices. Have tried rebooting the ISY, re-uploading the spokens and deleting this replacement switch in the spokens. No dice. Help! Please. Paul

Anyone use a light sensing device to trigger Insteon signal?
This might be overkill, but if you have a weatherflow tempest weather station and use the Node server, you get real time access to both LUX and W/m^2.

Insteon acquired and servers coming back up
Has anyone else noticed that John Xu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-xu-452b1b197/), the founder and CEO of YoSmart (YoLink) is a former Insteon Design Engineer. Looks like he figured out what not to do while he was there.

YoLink
Hey @Panda88, Thanks for working so hard on this Node server! The yolink stuff is awesome. The LoRa connections are really robust and battery life is so much better than the wireless tags I used previously. I have an outdoor motion in the end of my dock some 400' from my hub and it works great. The latest addition of the speakerhub creates so many interesting possibilities. Have a look at this video where I use it to trip a broadcast on my google home devices triggered by a motion detector on my driveway. Looking forward to other devices they create. Thanks again, Paul Forgive me for hijacking the thread a little. Just wanted you to know you work is greatly appreciated!

What Insteon did right......
Interesting. Maybe putting the pressure sensors in the tiles in front of the toilet to get mass information before and after as well as duration. This might have some interesting automation potential.

Any Ceiling Fans have zwave built in?
12 are outdoors in my lanai and balcony. Just used some of the same fans in minor bedrooms. Never reverse the outdoor ones and 3 speeds are more than enough for us.

I have Insteon switches on all my lights but the attic. Never thought of it. Fortunately I have a few spares that I can use to rectify the situation. Thanks!

I'm using about 15 of the outdoor models form Lowes and they work great with the enbrighten z-wave controller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTKQTTV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Z-Wave Controller for 3 fans

Need help identifying PCB component, please.
Numbering and shape make them look like inductors. Dots represent the inductance value. Search inductor color code on Google.

Z-Wave Controller for 3 fans
Hi, I have 4 sets of 3 fans in my Lanai (Florida name for Covered Patio). I am looking for Z-wave controllers that can work with groups of 3 identical fans. I have a number of the Enbrighten Fans Controllers, but the say they can only handle 2 fans. Any recommendations? Paul

Zooz Zen31 RGBW LED controller
Did you have any trouble getting it to pair with the ISY. Have mine about 3 feet away and no luck getting it to pair.

Z-Wave Door Open Close Sensor (Waterproof?)
Got one of them from amazon to test and it seems to work well. I like the inclusion of brown covers. Makes them less noticeable on my bronze colored doors. WIll see how the battery life is. Many thanks, Paul

How does one control the order programs run in ISY?
@Michel Kohanim So if I have two different programs, say one that runs from sunset to 11 and another that runs from sunset to sunrise, do they get cued in the FIFO randomly or perhaps in the order they were created? Maybe I've missed some documentation on this. Cheers, Paul

Any way to get the ISY to play an MP3 file through Alexa?
I don't use Alexa, but on Google Home I have found that I can add videos to Youtube and get Google home to play them from any device. I have created little home automation instructions for specific guest rooms and have them associated with the room. Maybe you can do the same thing on Alexa to get the audio you want to play.

Z-Wave Door Open Close Sensor (Waterproof?)
That looks like a tilt sensor for a garage door. Not sure how you would use it on a regular door. By chance did you mean this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5HB4U5/ref=emc_b_5_i

Z-Wave Door Open Close Sensor (Waterproof?)
Hi, I'm looking for a few Z-wave Door Open/Close sensors. They are intended for a couple or porch (Lanai) screen doors and a couple of nearby gates. Would be really nice to find some that are waterproof or at least water resistant. Any recommendations appreciated. Paul
