Polyglot can be hosted locally or you can host it on UD's server. If you want UD to host it, then purchase it. It isn't expensive but it is a subscription. The portal also allows you to access your ISY from outside your LAN without opening any ports. Also helps manage different users and integrate with Alexa/Google. A big down side to polyglot on the cloud is if your internet goes down, you have no polyglot and anything ISY needs from it to run programs and stuff will be dead. On the upside, it doesn't take much to setup when on the cloud. If you want polyglot local, the cheapest way to add it is to buy a raspberry pi and install polyglot on it. The rpi with an SD card might be around 50 bucks. If you want to spend some extra for an enclosure you can, and should if it isn't otherwise secured out of harms way. Setting up your rpi with polyglot will require you know about rpi or that you follow some detailed directions to the letter. You could also buy a polyisy. Polyisy can also host ISY and ultimately it will be required I imagine as the firmware gets fancier and fancier and requires the added horsepower. Not sure, but I think polyisy might ship with polyglot pre-installed, otherwise installing it on polyisy will be very similar to a rpi. I got my polyisy in the very first round and had to do all that configuring manually. Polyglot really expands ISY capabilities. There are dozens, perhaps even getting up near 100 apps you can install on polyglot that add functionality and integration. Last I checked, the full list of nodes available using the cloud version of polyglot was shorter than locally hosted, but I can't say for certain as I don't use the cloud version. Things like integrating with your alarm system, getting weather data, tracking your water, electricity, your roomba, your tesla, and so on are on polyglot. And of course, detailed time and date info. Here is a list. https://polyglot.universal-devices.com/ These are all free to install. Though a new version of polyglot (v3) is now available with paid nodes. The hope is that with the $$ incentive, the number of nodes and degree of functionality will go up. But I use over a dozen of the current free nodes and most are really good.

@satwar You are using programs I wrote many many years ago way before node servers existed. Those programs are no longer needed. It is far simpler to install a node server.

Then the ISY Time/Data node server has a node just for that.

Do you mean even/odd as per the day of the month? ie, 29,31,1,3,5,etc? Or do you mean every other day? ISY time/data node server does both if you want. There is an even/odd day node that goes by the day of month (as in the example above). There is also the node "days since epoch" which just counts day after day after day since Jan 1, 1970. So you can do an even/odd with that by dividing by 2 and if the remainder is 0, it is an even day, if it is 1, it is an odd day. You will need to transfer the value to a variable. every other day - [ID 008E][Parent 0093][Not Enabled] If Time is 12:00:01AM Then $i.every.other.day = 'ISY Time Data' Days since Unix Epoch days $i.every.other.day %= 2 Else EDIT: You can can also do even/odd weeks by first dividing by 7, then remainder divide (%=) by 2. This works for my recycling which comes every other week.

@sjenkins what about any modules? Do you have to contact UD and have the licenses moved? Also, I don't believe that the Elk module is available on Polisy ISY?

I have a couple of x10 devices as well. They are motion sensors, which I have directly linked to Insteon switches, so I'm thinking it really won't matter if ISY no longer supports x10.

If 'Door Switches / Barn OHD / Barn OHD-Heartbeat' is switched On Then Wait 25 hours repeat every 6 hours Resource 'NotificationNS.DoorTrouble.BarnOHD' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') @MrBill An alternative way to do it that allows your notifications to come on a different schedule than every 25 hours once a failed heartbeat triggers it.

POE and data go on the same conductors. It isn't just putting power onto unused wires. There are some versions of POE on 100mb that do it that way, but those are old school. The newer standards share data and power on the same conductor. This is not a passive system, the POE device "talks" to the POE switch/injector, otherwise the injector does not put any power on the line. I have some POE++ injectors that do 60 watts to power my Unifi access control system. In that case, the injector is generic (since I have no need for a very pricey poe++ switch) and the end device is native poe++ For my cameras, the switch is POE+ and the "splitters" are generic 12v or 5v. These cheap generic splitters are prone to failure. I have had 2 of them fail out of maybe 15 after a few years. The switch is putting 48v onto the cat wire and the splitter is converting that to 12/5v. The switch and splitter communicate so the switch knows to send power only when there is a poe adapter on the end. It does not send power otherwise since that would damage a device not designed for poe.

You can make most anything POE. Just buy a POE split out if the device doesn't have it natively. I have a whole bunch of security cameras done that way. Both 12 and 5v versions. You will need to of course check the power draw of the device to ensure it doesn't exceed spec. POE++ can do something like 75 watts in the max'd out version. Of course I don't think there are any generic splitters that do that. Standard POE can do about 10 watts, maybe a little more.

I would agree with @lilyoyo1 If they have an API and all you want is to send an on/off command, then a node server is perhaps overkill. ISY can send network commands directly without needing a node server. You would just need one for on and one for off. The only downside is that network commands are one way. You can't integrate a response or do queries to keep track of on/off status. But again, a simple on/off situation isn't likely to need it. EDIT: Here is a network resource I use to send a variable value from one ISY to another. I have mostly deleted my network resources since nodeservers, but still need a few.

I see you figured it out. Unfortunately, crawling a network, while a lovely idea, just doesn't work very well. Even if it got every link perfect, ISY would have no idea how to organize your devices/scenes in folders or what name to give anything. You end up spending more time figuring out what is what than it would take to just do it from scratch. And then there is the risk of weirdness (like your beep problem). It is too late now, but if you have hard to get to devices, I would not get too hung up on doing a hard factory reset. If you delete it from ISY then add it manually (must know the address) and tell ISY to wipe all old links, that has always worked in my experience.

@Javi Just installed the update and it looks fixed. Thanks.

why does UD Mobile sometimes show a "1" on the app's icon on my android phone. It is like it is telling me there is a notification, but I can't find anywhere to read this notification. Nearest I can tell, it has something to do with a pending update?

@JaviJavi, I wanted some icons on my favorites page that would be a toggle on only button. So I set it up as a command and had it issue the scene on command for that scene. For some reason, it is not turning the scene on as expected. Lights are going to the wrong level. If I go to the scene button itself and turn it on, it works correctly. ?? Also, I get an error "could not get value for node def accepts param id 432. 500" Thanks

Actually, here is something simpler. Only 2 programs. Prgm 1 If humidity less than 40 Then blank Else blank prgm 2 If program 1 is true Then repeat every 1 second disable program 1 send notification wait 6 hours enable program 1 run if program 1

You probably are having hysteresis issues. If the humidity goes 40, 39 ,40, 39 etc, it will keep resetting the program. Go with the second set of program I listed that blocks that.

program 2 re-enables program 1 once humidity hits 44, program 1 will then run false on the next humidity change, triggering 3 to run false, ending the repeat. Nothing can trigger program 3 except a CHANGE in the status of program 1. Program 1 can run over and over a million times but program 3 sits idle unless it changes from true to false or vice versa. Though in this example, doesn't even matter. Once prgrm 1 becomes true, it sits idle and disabled until the humidity tops 43.

No need for variables when you only need two values, just use the true/false state of the program as a variable. To add hysteresis, add a third program. I believe this is the least amount of code possible to accomplish the task. Prgm 1 If Humidity less than 40 Then disable prgm 1 (this program) Prgm 2 If Humidity greater than 43 Then enable prgm 1 Prgrm 3 If Prgm 1 true Then repeat every 6 hour send notifications

@ewindYou can also do this. Though it won't have hysteresis, it is a bit simpler Prgm 1 If humidity less than 40 Then blank Else blank prgm 2 If program 1 is true Then repeat every 6 hours send notification

But they continue to have items that were out of stock become in stock again. Sometimes only briefly and other times for extended time. This points to a supply side shortage. I suppose it could be a supply of cash, but it doesn't seem that way. For example, the Serial PLM was back in stock for a while and then sold out again. The high wattage dimmers came back in stock and are still in stock. PLC has its issues, no doubt. But I have not had issues with it since going dual band. It is very very rare for me to have a missed com. Going to z-wave with its delays and compatibility issues doesn't appeal to me. Wifi devices are fine until you end up with hundreds of them and your network becomes a bear to manage. And wifi devices potentially provide a back door into your network hackable from anywhere on the planet. I like that ISY is my only. The high end stuff that hard wires back to your central control panel is just stupid expensive and I just can't see why it is any better except that maybe you go from 99.9% to 100%, except when it breaks and then you are SOL until an over priced technician comes to your house.

@Javi Strong work.

When I scroll down the page to get to a device, it keeps popping back to the start. This is very frustrating. I can never get to the thing I want to get to. It might pop back after a couple seconds of scrolling or maybe it takes 5 or 10. The time is not always the same.

https://www.amazon.com/Insteon-2732-242-Heat-Thermostat-White/dp/B017WS3WKW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_pb_opt?ie=UTF8 This is the one.

@RYost Insteon did make a thermostat for heatpumps. They have not made it in many years. I own 7 of them and they are running at my church. You may be able to find one used someplace. They look identical to the one they currently sell that is not heat pump compatible.

My outdoor gfci trips every now and then as well. Usually I can blame it on rain. It takes very little to trip those things so just a few drops of water can leak a few milliamps of power to ground and it pops. Mine trips so rarely, maybe 2 times a year, that I just reset it and move on. Almost always after rain, but surprisingly, it may rain cats and dogs and be fine, and it may be a more normal rain and it pops. I suspect it is wind direction. If it were more frequent, I would go through all your connections and be certain they are water proof. Sometimes they get a little weak and trip without appropriate cause. Finally, be certain you know all the outlets that are on the gfci. As you know, they daisy chain them and you may have an outlet somewhere with a bad device that you don't realize is on the gfci. Long ago I lived in a house that had the master bath plugs on a gfci that was in the garage. I guess they thought the $15 for a gfci was too high and instead they would pull all that extra wire and time to daisy chain it. Question that came to mind is if you have a low voltage transformer. Not sure if low voltage power leaking to ground would trip a gfci. Being on the back side of the transformer may isolate it from the gfci. Of course being 12v it would be a challenge to get injured.
