It appears i just succeeded. I figured out how to expand the partition to use the full ssd drive. I then rebooted it, ran the update and about 20 minutes later it rebooted to the new firmware. I followed the instructions on this youtube video to resize the partition. Note, zroot should be replaced with zudi

Trying to upgrade just bricked my polisy as well. I had just flashed the image from UD to a 128gb ssd. All worked fine until the upgrade at which point is just stopped working. I pulled the drive and put it on pc and found that the flashed imaged only used 3gb of the 128gb, leaving the rest unallocated. Perhaps it didn't have enough space to run the upgrade? Regardless, I would like expand that volume and use the whole 128gb. But I have no idea how to do that on a linux ssd. None of my windows tools that do that to a windows disk would do it. At this point I am back to the way I was this morning, working polisy.

I just had the same thing happen on a Polisy. I have the image file from UD, so I pulled the SSD, flashed the image, then restored my backup. I noticed that after flashing the image file from UD, my 128gb ssd has 124gb of it left unallocated. I can fix this on a PC, but I have no idea how to fix this on a linux setup. None of my usual methods will let me do anything. I wonder if there simply wasn't enough space for the upgrade to proceed. Of course if you have an eisy, I suspect that the ssd was properly partitioned to use all the space.

Could you not flash the ssd and restore a backup?

I just did the update to my polisy. It then said I needed to hit "reboot". I did that, it went offline for a while, came back. I tried logging in using my portal credentials but that didn't work. I tried my old credentials, that did work (which shouldn't have). It then gave me a warning that I needed to reboot. Which I supposedly just did. I tried again, it went offline again, and repeat. And going to polisy.local doesn't bring anything up. So, obviously somethin didn't work. Perhaps I need to do a hard restart? I'm not physically there now to mess with it.

Have you seen Polisy get sluggish or having any issues?

I put in a ticket. I think those accounts just need to be wiped from their end. I can't do anything with them at all from my end. Years ago when I set these up, I set each one up as its own primary account instead of making them users under my account. It was working fine for 5 or 10 years with the old ISY, but I can't do anything to move over to a new one.

No you can't. You can type it in and hit save, but it doesn't do anything.

Those other tabs exist on some of the accounts. It is there on mine and one other. And yes, my profile is there. But opening that gives no useful options,.

I just upgraded from 994i to polisy at my church. Several of the user accounts I had don't have any options to add the new ISY. It shows (but I cut off) the uuid of the 994i and that it is offline. But I can't add the new one. No tabs at the top to do anything. I can't delete the current one either.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I thought Elk could natively speak to Insteon and x10. Maybe not. It has been 15 years since I was playing with Elk in that way. I thought you could plug a plm into an xsp, but at a quick glance on the internet, probably not.

Sorry, I don't have those keypads, so no experience. The only thing I can think of is another xsp on your elk and another PLM. Not sure if two plm's on a network causes insteon issues, doesn't seem like it should.

Oh my.

Michel said it will run on Polisy, but that it may be sluggish because of the RAM size and speed.

I've got a Flir version of the same thing. I think I spent $300 for it several years ago. I see they can be had for less now, not sure how mine compares to those. EDIT: Yup, just checked my Amazon history, Got it (Flir Pro One LT) 2019 for $300. It continues to work. Not sure how that compares to ones currently listed on Amazon. I use it a handful of times per year. Works well for doing checks on your AC function imaging the coils and vents and checking propane levels in free tanks. Random other uses like seeing how hot your eisy is as well. I have heard you can spot man-overboard at night with these as well but haven't tried that.

I'm assuming you have the Elk node for ISY. It is an option in the Elk node server. It is also an option in Elk rules, but that wouldn't help you here.

I don't know. But ISY is still stuck in that mode and so far UD mobile hasn't erased my favorites again. Every time I open the admin console it shows that linking pop-up. This is not the first time for that. Last time I had to reboot eisy to get rid of it. And as I think of it, it is 2 for 2 on this problem. I have only put Eisy into linking mode twice since owning it and both times it has done this. I assume I need to reboot again.

Don't know what to tell you. But on the home page, I clicked on the "online" at the top and where I normally see both controllers drop down to choose from, only the one was there. And then I started going through the settings page and I don't remember what exactly I did, but it triggered a sync with the controller that was not listed in the drop down menu. But still, all the favorites were gone. I never re-entered credentials, so that part didn't delete.

Does the "display on keypad" function on ISY work on that keypad? I have my regular keypads display messages like the outside temp and wish my kids happy birthday and silly stuff like that. Do you have a PLM on the Elk or are using the xep via ISY? Might be that you need a PLM directly connected to Elk for it to see status changes. I'm just not sure, never used it that way.

I would suggest skipping the elk as a direct controller of Insteon devices. Use the Elk node in your ISY to bring all the Elk states into ISY and let ISY control the Insteon devices. Anything that happens in Elk will be known to ISY so there is no need to have Elk directly control anything. And vice versa, anything that happens in Insteon can control Elk via ISY programs. For example, I have Insteon KPL's arm the system. And going the other way, Elk zones will trigger lighting changes, all via ISY programs, not Elk rules. While ISY programs may not be perfect, it is certainly a better platform than Elk rules.

Folders I had created inside of the favorites tab were there, but they were empty. The actual nodes were all missing. Both in the main page and inside of folders. I had done nothing configuration wise. I was using UD mobile to turn on sprinkler zones an hour earlier, then I opened it to turn off the zone, and this is what I found.

I opened UD mobile a few minutes ago and everything pretty much was gone. It only listed one of my two sites and my favorites were pretty much all gone. Fortunately I had a backup from a couple months ago. But what the heck? Also, unrelated, Eisy seems to be stuck in Insteon discovery. Every time I open up the admin console it shows added device and UD mobile has a pop-up saying I am Insteon discovery. It shows this every time I open the admin console. I added this device a week ago.

Is there anything further on this? Every time there is any hiccup in my network Blue Iris disconnects (despite saying "connected"). It seems that people are saying using the "re-discover" button will fix it. Do I need to just have a program that runs every hour triggering a "re-discover"?

The heat sink on these things is the chassis. So I think it is a little deceiving compared to other devices with internal heat sinks. With these devices you actually touch the heat sink with normal handling of the unit. With internal devices, you are touching plastic that is well removed from the source of heat. I think if you opened your PC (or similar) and touched the heat sink, you might get the impression that it is also too hot even though it is working as expected.

@srjacob It is a language that is purpose built for HA. It has its own logic and it works for HA. The JAVA thing is roundly agreed upon to suck. UD is currently creating a local device-hosted web interface on Eisy that will integrate everything and ditch Java. You can install an alpha version of it if you like and see the first phases of it. Currently, it does no handle programming. But the endpoint is expected to be 100% of everything ISY including the plugins all on one coordinated interface. The method that is currently used to program ISY becomes tiresome when you are doing a lot of programming. The drop downs are slow. Aside from that, I see no reason to change it and I see lots of reasons to not change it. Some sort of "pro" interface that cuts out the drop downs would be the only change I would want to see. But without the drop downs, are you going to manually input device node addresses? I think the drop downs are going to stay, but could be made to work better. Starting to type in a name does not give you a very good list of close fits in any sort of logical order.
