@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

@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

@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.

@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

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

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

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

@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

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

@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

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.

@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.

@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

@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

@apostolakisl Unfortunately, the sensors I use don't meet your 0.5F degree requirement. They may have sensors that do. Per the manual of a water sensor I use, the temperature reading refreshes when one of the following conditions are met:. 1) The SET button has been pressed. 2) When temp is over 32°F, at least 1.8°F change over a period longer than 1 minute. 3) When temp is between 14°F and 32°F, at least 2.7°F change over a period longer than 1 minute. 4) When temp is between 5°F and 14°F, at least 3.6°F change over a period longer than 1 minute. 5) When temp is below 5°F, at least 9°F change over a period longer than 1 minute. 6) At least 3.6°F change within 1 minute. 7) Device alert level reached or restored to normal range. 8) Once an hour. https://www.yosmart.com/support/YS8004-UC/docs/instruction. BTW, I do admire folks who can talk "electricity" with ease. I'll give your power supply instructions a try sometime. Ross

@apostolakisl YoLink will not do every 30 seconds and can't be plugged in. So, I agree you should stick with your tags if that is important to you. They only update when the temperature changes by a set degree - that's how the battery life is prolonged. I find the sensors without a display last longer than the ones with a display. Good luck with your authorization issues.

Mine shows F in the program. But, I'm on 1.5.16.

@apostolakisl Based on a few topics on here, more than a few of us have switched from wireless tags to YoLink. I had battery issues with the wireless tags and have had no issues with YoLink. You do need a YoLink hub. I'm not sure what you use your tags for, but YoLink was definitely an upgrade for me. Ross

@Athlon I just want you to know you're the cause of all the fingerprints on my monitor. I try to get that little bug and then I realize "Oh, it's Athlon!"

The Royal Yachting Association just changed Man Overboard to Person In Water. You gotta keep up with the times...

@smorgasbord My weather station, Davis Instruments' Vantage Pro 2, detects heavy dew. It definitely detects light drizzle. You could have the skylights close as soon as it registers 0.01. And reopen after 1 or 2 dry hours. There is a plugin for it. Ross

I use OpenSprinkler and it has worked well for me. Please see this 2 year old topic (where someone else's EZ Flora died): Ross

@Geddy I have an ISY and the Yolink plug-in and it works great. However, I recently found that I can not add any new Yolink devices so that they appear in the ISY. And, unfortunately, UD does not support the ISY. This may be the straw that makes me switch to the EISY. Ross

I use a temperature sensor in another part of the room and programs to adjust the thermostat settings based on the sensor. This method ignores what the thermostat "thinks" is the temperature.

@Geddy @JTsao Would you please provide a recommendation (or what's working for you) as to the ups? Sounds like something I should investigate. Thanks, Ross
