  1. FYI - Verizon allows email to text. Sounds like T-Mobile allows it too.
  2. @Guy Lavoie I do get a notification in UD Mobile if the portal is down (and then up). I didn't create any programs to do that - it just does it. I'll play with your suggestions today. Thanks to all for the advice, Ross
  3. @roblombardo I bought this 2A power supply from Amazon and my Polisy came back to life. It's important to get the correct barrel size as you said - 5.5mm x 2.5mm. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D269PYK9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title 1A (the original PS) would work too, I just decided to have a little extra. Thank you for your help, Ross
  4. @larryllix What do you recommend for a direct (and easy) method of sensing that the internet is down? I would like to have a program that senses it and then reboots the router. @apostolakisl I agree that checking for non-updating conditions would be a way, but I would rather not have to determine if it was a PGx problem. And FYI, I've had my router/modem on an automatic daily reboot for years now and it's never hung because of the reboot.
  5. @raymondjiii When I am home, my ISY reboots the router for 1 minute at 5:15pm each day. If my network happens to be down or on the fritz, 99% of the time it comes back up. When I'm on vacation, the ISY reboots the router twice per day. Therefore, I never have more than 12 hours of home-blindness (I like that term @larryllix). As long as the network is up, I can then use a manual app (Kasa or Yolink with their respective smart plugs) to reboot my ISY and/or Polisy if I feel it's necessary to do so. Both have plug-ins; so, you could program them to also reboot if you choose. I prefer the manual method. I hope this is responsive to your questions. Ross
  6. I have a program that turns off my router for 1 minute and then turns it back on. [Edit based on @dbwarner5's question below: As @larryllix says below, my router and cable modem is plugged into an Insteon On/Off module that is controlled by my ISY. No wifi needed]. I have Kasa wifi plugs for my ISY and Polisy that allows me to turn those on/off manually (as long as the router is on, of course). YoLink also has similar wifi plugs. Ross
  7. I usually backup my stuff once per month (or more often if I'm messing around with things). Here are my folders with remind me what I need to do. Please let me know if I'm missing any important backups. I don't know if I need to backup the topology, but I do. I have an ISY with a Polisy and use UDM. Thanks, Ross
  8. Ross replied to pjjameso's topic in Sonos
    I'm lurking here as I (and everyone else with Sonos speakers, I assume) have the same issue with the random joining. However, I use ST-Sonos rather than the Sonos plug-in. But I'm willing to switch if successful. If this can't be "fixed", can it be accomplished through Network Resources instead? I believe it's possible to pause/play/next/previous/shuffle + volume up/down, but I'm not sure certain speakers can be joined. Thanks, Ross
  9. @roblombardo My Polisy is doing the same thing (3rd light flashing). Will you please let me know the specs of what you replaced it with or the Amazon link? Thanks, Ross
  10. I replaced a device for the first time this weekend, but I couldn't figure out how to move it from any folder. When I added my new device, I could see the replace option for it, but the AC wouldn't allow me to move my old device to the top (kept giving me the circle with the line through it). Luckily, it was involved in only 1 scene and no programs, so I just deleted/added. Ross
  11. @Guy Lavoie Hi Guy, this is my program to monitor my current pool temperature: Pool Temp - [ID 00B1][Parent 0094] If 'Nodes / YoLink / Temp Pool' Sensor Temperature > 0.0°F Then $sPoolTemp = 'Nodes / YoLink / Temp Pool' Sensor Temperature °F Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I don't know that your High Temp program works as the temperature might not go up exactly 1 degree (maybe more, maybe less). I posted elsewhere (and can repost here if you want) what conditions are required for a YoLink sensor to update. No matter what, it updates each hour. You may need another program to set the High Temp variable only if the Current Temp is > than the High Temp. Ross
  12. I have YoLink temperature sensors placed where I care what the temperature is (e.g., living room couch, bed, kitchen). I don't care about the temperature where the thermostats actually are. I then use programs to control my heat pump via old Insteon thermostats.
  13. Ross replied to midrar's topic in Insteon
    @paulbates I had this happen with one of my keypads about a month ago. I just started pressing buttons on it at random and it snapped out of it. It's been behaving ever since.
  14. @MMAltair I get confused with all the versions of this and that in this universe, but I'm using an ISY and the version is 5.3.4. If that's not what you are looking for, please let me know how to find it. Thanks, Ross
  15. @apostolakisl If you can't get your tags to work, I suppose you could but 3-5 YoLink sensors in there. Then take the average (or lowest/highest?) temp of all of them? It's like my digital picture frames, I have them all set to change once per 30 minutes, but that means one of them is changing every ~5 minutes. Good luck, Ross
