Thanks @Panda88- my Blink NS is working again!

Hello Michel, Do you think the discount (which expires 1/31/24) will be extended? Or can we submit an order while they're out of stock?

OK, I will open a ticket. Here's the snippet from the sysconfig.txt output: pg3x-3.2.12 Name : pg3x Version : 3.2.12 Installed on : Mon Oct 23 23:29:45 2023 PDT Thanks.

Hello. I've updated several times in the past months/years with few issues (due to great advise and tips in these forums) but this latest PG3x v3.2.13 won't install. I'm on an older Polisy that is running FreeBSD polisy 13.2-RELEASE-p4 and the latest isy-5.7.0_5 with pg3x-3.2.12. However, when I initiate the "Upgrade Packages" from the Admin Console, I get the prompt to Confirm but nothing appears to occur after I click "Yes" except the prompt goes away. I do see this in the Event Log: Fri 11/03/2023 07:02:47 AM : Create REST U7 [/rest/upgrade-polisy]. I've waited hours and days between attempts and have also performed a hard power off/on. Everything appears to be working fine so I'm not in dire straits, just not able to get the PG3x update installed. I'm fine with waiting for the next update - just curious if there's something I'm missing?

Gotcha. I had changed to the Fast ON/OFF because in one of the latest IoX releases the DON stopped working and I found that the Fast On was a work around. I think the difference is no ramp up/down. Seems to be working fine.

Thanks @Panda88. What you suggested worked. I created the scene for muliple remotes to control lights. For instance, I use the Yolink remote on my night stand to turn on/off each of the bedroom lights and a main hall and outside lights. The scene also has other remotes including the Yolink on my wife's night stand. Thanks for your work and support on getting these Yolink remotes to work. The Insteon ones are on their last legs...

I left the Fob functions as "Default" because I'm not clear how I would identify multiple functions (eg. On/Off) otherwise - I tried using the toggle function but I couldn't get it to work. Also, when I did choose the Short Press for ON and the Long Press for OFF, it just reverted back so I just used the defaults knowing that the short press was OFF...at least it was working that way. Now it doesn't work in the scene at all. I do see when monitoring the Fob device that it does show the button status correctly. YoLink_3-16-2023_53948-PM.zip

I setup scenes after earlier discussion on this thread. It was working for the most part (as I described earlier). However, the scenes stopped functioning all together - I haven't spent too much time trying to troubleshoot yet. I will try using programs again as you depict above.

I didn't reconfigure anything. I've sent a log but I'm not sure if it has what you want - if you send me specific instructions, I'll capture exactly what you want. ISY-Events-Log.v5.5.7__Thu 2023.03.16 11.13.19 AM.txt

@Panda88Updated to 0.8.88 and now scenes that were working aren't functioning anymore. (remote)

I do see the 4 sub-nodes just as you say. The program example above was not a working program; I only created it to illustrate the options available. I did choose a sub-node as well as the main node for examples. I also do not think I would need the first IF statement - just trying to show the choices. I don't see a difference "control" versus "status". I may not know what I'm doing... Regarding the lights coming ON based on the last setting in the scene, I'll see if I can capture a debug. Cheers!

@Panda88I don't know how to do what you describe in programs; I just created this example to show the options that I see when I use the remote in a program (this isn't a real program): Also, I have a minor problem using the remote in scenes. For instance, if someone turns a light on with the remote and later a program or smart device is used to turn the light off, the light comes back on after a short time (within 5 mins). It appears that whatever the last command was used from the remote to control the device gets checked again (after a poll?) and reinitiates the command for the scene. We just need to ensure that we turn the light off with the remote if we want it to stay off.

@bpwwerThe Query worked. Thanks! I had tried the discover button both on the AC and on the NS page but that didn't change anything. Didn't think of trying the query. Darn it! I appreciate the response.

Version: 1.0.11 on PG3 3.1.17 on IoX 5.5.7 isn't providing the counters on the Admin Console anymore...not sure when it stopped working. Is there a known issue? Any resolution? Not critical, just curious. FYI, I have 10 other Node Servers that are working fine. Restarted the NS several times (which used to work) but still isn't updating the counters. Total Nodes, Node Server Nodes and Error Log Entries are the only counters displayed.

@Panda88Works perfect! Thanks! After restarting the NS, it wasn't making much sense until I remembered I should've restarted the Admin Console as well; before I did the individual buttons were on the list but the configuration parameters hadn't updated - became clear after the AC was refreshed. Also, it took me a little while to figure out that I needed to focus on scenes rather than programs; the logic for the key programming doesn't really make sense (to me) for a program. And it also took a minute (longer for me) to figure out to set the defaults for each key press for each keyfob device in the AC and then add the individual key to the scene using those defaults (rather than trying to configure the key in the scene.) There are probably more ways to get it to work but I settled on configuring the short press for ON and the long press for OFF. I wasn't able to get the toggle function to work but I'm happy with the way it works this way. Now I have multiple remotes (including Insteon) controlling a single light and there aren't any conflicts as before with the program method. Thanks again!

great! Thanks! enjoy your vacation.

@Panda88I personally like the defaults set and would prefer the Short=1 and Long=0 (however currently 1: is not currently working for the Insteon dinner switches since one of the last updates) but definitely like the idea of being able to modify. I'd like to try the toggle options but I am not clear how the state is maintained which might mean clicking twice which is clunky on the long presses. I am looking forward to testing the remote with scenes because I found when I added two of these remotes in a program, if the same light is had already been turned off with one remote, it can't be turned on with the 2nd. I'm guessing because the program reads the remote state which still indicates that the last button state was and then the two remote conflict. Probably is fixable with some tricky programming but I'm not tricky enough. Thanks for adding the remotes - they work pretty well (most of the time).

Sounds very acceptable - Insteon remotes have a node for each key and I never even tried to use them in programs; the method that I understood was to add the key to a scene as a controller and/or responder. The program method is very logical as well.

Yes @Panda88 both the short and long presses are working great! The program method is working well; I don’t know if the scenes method is necessary. (At least for what I do) thanks!

Never mind - I added a "long" press command to test if the switch would turn the light off and it magically started working! Both ON/OFF functions are working...now my wife has an easy way to switch her bedside lamp on and off without shouting at Alexa (since the Insteon remote went kaput...). Thanks!! I'll need to get some more of these little jewels thanks to your NS. Much appreciated!

@Panda88Got mine today. Paired with the Hub. NS updated and it appears on the ISY Admin Console. I didn't see a way to make it work if added to a scene so assumed would only work with a program. Verified that the status of the switches change on the console and created a simple program to turn on a Insteon light. I also see that the program gets triggered by checking the time stamp; however, the light doesn't get triggered to switch on. I don't see anything related in the event log. Did you get it to work another way?

@Panda88I just received the one (with 12 buttons). I believe your are correct about it only supporting the D2D linking. Bummer. I did order one of the 4 button remotes too; I'm glad to hear that one does register with the APP. I'll be setting it up as soon as I receive it (maybe tomorrow). Thanks for your help!

@Panda88Awsome! I'll order one today! Thanks!

Upgraded to 5.5.5 and then migrated to a ZMatter USB on my Polisy yesterday; almost everything went perfect except a CoControl WA00Z-1 (Battery powered 2 button ZWave wall switch) no longer will control a scene that just simply turned off/on a string of lights. The switch was the only one that took a few iterations or the "Update with Interview" to become active. To me it appears in the event viewer that it send both the on and off commands (ST100 & ST0) when either button is pressed. I've deleted it and re-added it back into the system but now it just has a new number but still won't operate the lights. Still playing with it but can't seem to get it to work. Also discovered that my Insteon dimmer switches won't turn on lights in the UI (Java and Mobile) or Programs with the "ON" command; I had to change programs to use the "FAST ON" command. The physical switches still work fine. Any advise or clues to resolve would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks @Panda88!
