SSS

Interestingly just discovered that in mobilinc app the status gets updated, tried hue light, but I cannot control it from the app.

Update : PG3 Nodes works all fine in UD Mobile and ISY Console, doesn’t work in Roomie Remote, Mobilinc, Hoobs third party apps and doesn’t work on Web browsers! Again l don’t know if they were working before @ isy994 and version 4/5.xx as I never tried before. I started to add PG3 nodes only after I got esiy and USB Insteon Modem, All Insteon devices work as expected in the above 3 third party apps and web browser…guess it’s something that UD has to inform all what has changed. or maybe my setup is not correct… can anyone confirm even if one device connected via PG3 nodes in eisy is working in third party apps or say UD own web browser? I have installed Harmony, Ecobee, Hue and MyQ nodes none of them work.

Will inform RR…BTW I have HOOBS bridge, all Native Insteon devices works and shows up…PG3 node server devices won’t even show up, forget working…in RR the Devices show up but won’t work

Will open a ticket, re Single user, maybe unless others respond, l am sure there a quite a few RR users and if they happen to be Insteon Users as well with isy platform there is no other way to link the two.

Understand but what can we as an end user do…just report the issues, can RR and UD both make the business interactions and resolve this? Or maybe no one had tried node server devices in RR yet and this functionality never worked for the beginning or maybe something is wrong in my setup. Anyone in the forum has a similar setup and if Node servers devices are working in RR?

All good 100% migrated to eisy, however polyglot node servers won’t work in Roomie Remote, I contacted RR via forum this is what I got…also see link…and attached https://forum.roomieremote.com/t/feature-request-api-enhancements/3824/16

Hello is there an alarm.Com node for isy/eisy ?

Has anyone tried eisy with Alarm.Com security system using along with QolSys panel ?

Easy for tech geeks maybe not for me…haha, anyways back to original question, l just wanted check if the current shipping version will support hue devices directly, I believe the answer is no and a future beta is coming but don’t know if this beta will work directly?

So when the beta is released will we be able to connect directly w/o the hub? also if we use the node server, can someone point me to installing instructions for my setup : eisy, Philips V2 hub with 40 lights.

But I don’t want to use the hub

Sorry I am confused, I am using eisy with Insteon usb PLM that’s my base setup, l have Philip hue with hub and 40 lights attached to it l wish to explore if l can use the eisy USB device to connect directly to the Hue devices without the need for the Hub, intent is to minimize as hubs as possible.

It’s a bit difficult to configure and I cannot make it to work…would love direct connection are there instructions to use hue server with eisy? For beginners?

Will this module discover All Philips hue zigbee lights and other hue devices directly w/o the need of going though a node server?

Agreed never a good idea but it does work only thing is that the status of devices will not reflect in the new setup if the command is sent from the old system…it was just a short term need anyways while the new migration is in progress…all good 100% migrated over to new and RR app works like charm, faster response as well.

Before migrating to new eisy with USB Insteon PLM I wish to keep the old isy944i and serial Insteon PLM in parallel, however after successfully installing eisy using a back up from isy994i l started to see that the old isy994i devices are not working any more, not sure why one cannot have these two setups in parallel?

Adding manually works

I got the new eisy, Insteon USB PLM done the migration etc…however Roomie Remote cannot discover the eisy. I still have isy994i with serial insteon PLM as a parallel setup and will discard only after 100% migration and everything is working fine.

I am using HOOBS works great too…but the idea is to eliminate one too many hubs to get into HomeKit

My question was directed to UD, we buy the USB stick now which say it will support Matter sounds good, but the fundamental question which UD should be able is answer is once it supports Matter, can one see all connected devices to the eisy Hub in HomeKt?

I still don’t get it, “cannot answer that is not existing”…matter devices or the UD USB device?

Ok let me ask a simple question, we all know where the home automation eco system is heading towards, HomeKit will be a major part of it, agreed app sucks but if the h/w is HomeKit compatible it opens the gateway for many other apps…Question : will UDI Hub eisy support HomeKit, yes, no direct indirect, via Matter etc… BTW matter is already out and devices that support Matter can be seen in HomeKit correct, l am missing anything? I don’t have matter devices so cannot test.

I was looking at the USB with Zigbee and Matter (beta) module, once Matter support is added, can one see all devices and scenes in HomeKit?

So the answer is firm no with 5.0.10 isy backup, eisy will not read it at all and say something like version not compatible error…or it will still read through and one has to check how well things get migrated

Yes I believe so…before l dive into migrating current isy with serial Insteon PLM to eisy+USB PLM l would keep both setup in parallel question really is should l upgrade my isy 5.0.10 to 5.3 just to backup and migrate then go back to 5.0.10 or just use the 5.0.10 backup to migrate to eisy ? another option is to start all over but I have or 75 devices with dozens of timers and programs also l am sure if RR will work with the eisy so have to keep both in parallel for some time
