Hello @Javiand @Jimbo.Automates Ohh, so this explains why Eisy is notifying me on UDI Mobile and my Polisys are quiet. Update and wait till done. How long will 15 node servers take to update to IOX during the upgrade process? Should I update from AC or Mobile? Time to migraine, i mean migrate!

Hello All! i have been in the dark and have an Eisy up! Wow! very nice development platform with freebsd. I have two Polisy's and am running ISY994. I hear migraine i mean migrate to PG3x so i see my Eisy has IOX so are we talking platform only and upgrading devices? All my developed node servers and updates? So my plan is to leave my ISY994 running the house for now until it is migrated to Eisy. Then updating my Development Polisy's to IOX or PG3x. To me migrating means Backed up from your old system ISY994 and restoring onto the new platform running on Eisy as IOX? Oh with a re-boot and no MONDOdb LOCKUP. So in reality my node servers i am developing and are running on my Polisy i will be updating. Will they still work on my ISY994 until i ready to dump it? I other words i am blind and deaf not understanding migrating seeing a migraine as i am coding and can barely do that. regards!

Polisy, First off i just installed the ZMatter and it came up no problem, so nothing is the Matter! Only thing is it never asked for a Version 2 as the pictograph instructions showed, for me it was just a check box. Net Energy Meter Hardware: I have asked this before and@Michel Kohanimyou said to point to the IOP? Lets Please Slow Down a minute! Now I am asking about hardware for the NEM meter. I have an ISY installed and it has the hardware to talk to, in my case PG&E meter i can point to that no problem! Now i want to move my ISY to another house and use my Polisy here at my house now that it has workable ZMatter installed. So if i remove my current ISY with the NEM hardware i will lose conductivity with my PG&E meter for NEM node server to continue to function, right? So how do i point my IOP again? Are we waiting for this as a hardware add on and if i have WiFi and ZMatter where would I add it, if it existed. I do not mind leaving the ISY for the NEM i just was hoping to remove it and only have one Polisy running the house and for testing Poly's, aka developed Node Servers. Hopefully I am way off and there is no hardware needed, as I remember we had to go to "DashBoard" to configure the meter with installed hardware in the ISYpro. Thank You for any Help! Highest Regards, Bailey

@MrBill good morning how do you close this? Solution to the problem was to separate the valve control in its own program with its own schedule. As you pointed out! - Reason every other 30 seconds the SolarEdge would show zero for 30 seconds even though it always had kW output at the device. It also has locked up before and was fixed by Bob when converted to PG3. The pump on its own now rides through this and now the valve doesn't care on its own and never runs THEN repetitively again because it is now a schedule only. i am not going to copy and paste the programs because i am right in the middle of writing code for Tuya and this simple basic programming could use a hysteresis in all if >< statements in IF! To have three programs to do one function is convoluted. i have used Automated Logic's Eikon that has hysteresis built in as a setting for IF >< statements this with a graphical interface. I hope after Polyglot is finished oh and it is working so very well now, that we can have this upgraded as well. While i am wishing, some graphics would make this a little more desirable in the controls market along with trends on graphs that are pickable and work with auto axis would also be cool. I see trends are there and they should be pickable for all node variables automatically. History in troubleshooting is the most important to finding a problem and fixing it. its okay i was only doing pneumatic and electric controls in the 70's-80's then electronic controls as i ran the controls department in the Bay Area for Acco Air Conditioning Company inc now Acco Engineered Systems for 10 year starting in 1993. Tridium, Automated logics, Robert Shaw, Johnson, Honeywell etc... Also a pipe-fitter and systems operation, so yes on your high or low rise construction all the equipment on my jobs i would put into commission. Now after three years of Python i am a Jr developer and never went to college, not bad for five credits short of an AA degree 😂 Cheers and THANK YOU for your valuable TIME, Case Closed! Highest Regards, Bailey

@MrBill Well I have a valve that can either sweep the pool or skim the pool. At high speed it can do both. So first is getting the valve which is tr-state to the right position for the right gpm, i achieve this by using time of stroke to set valve position. The kW threshold is, when above 400kW. Which would only be a problem without any hysteresis on a cloudy day as the node server should be in constant communications. When I noticed the problem I was easily above 3000kW so it was not a hysteresis problem when I realized it was stroking and that was the problem eating valves. I believe it is also sample rate when the node server is being communicated with. I believe there are intermediate breaks in communication. That is one main problem with the line code in AC. There is no differential (if > or if <) in one statements for an IF or a THEN. You should be able to say, Start Pump if kW is above 400kW and not if < 200kW within one IF control statement. Needs an update to add this I believe, switch it all to python... LOL!

@MrBill Here is what I did have an AND on the IF for kW threshold to be achived to start the pool pump. Currently this will be removed and I will watch the relief valve for valve actuation. It is also weird that watching AC I never witnessed the THEN show RUNNING in AC Programs, Summary.

Okay @MrBill Sorry I had three contractors show up at the house yesterday. I have Three programs currently running. One to stop pump and two for cleaning. I removed an AND on the IF that was looking at the solar edge node server for kW so if above 400 watts and schedule start IF. This may have caused the THEN to continually cycle. In reading your response I see I may need a separate program to do this similar to my stop program. I think it would be okay to add AND or OR to an IF statement along with a schedule however maybe it is not seeing the Node Server information consistently causing the THEN to cycle. I am finishing a 1956 F-100 with an 79 year old Dave stopped by wanting something to do and said he saw my truck apart wondered if I needed help, so lucky to have him as I have a ten pound weight limit on lifting. LOL! We also have front landscaping project currently taking my time up and I did not have time to follow up with you on this, I apologize! Highest Regards, Bailey

Thank you @MrBill i will display the program this evening when i am back home. It is a scheduled start IF with a Then routine.

Hello! i have a administration console pool program for my pool node sever and i am controlling a pool sweep with a Valve. Control is tri-tate, two contact closures, one for open and one for closed on our pool valve for our pool sweep. (Works great!) Unfortunately I had to replace the valve as it was overworked. Why does the administration console THEN in a program continuously cycle the THEN routine? When IF activates it. I have the valve timed in the program to open in Skim mode for 45 seconds to open the valve all the way, then stop, then close Sweep for 9 seconds to give the sweeper enough water to run. Well the THEN routine keeps cycling when i want it to only cycle through its sequence once at the start of the program! i tried STOP and DISABLE in the routine and neither work! hey i do not want to keep buying a $200 24vac tri-state pool valve its expensive for a retired disabled person and a large pain in MY *** for my broken back to replace the valve again! So this continually running THEN is costing me money in worn out parts i do not want to wear out!!! Not happy and cannot find a fix in the much too long wiki and cookbook! Lots of useless information on the topic. i am sure this has caused many problems overworking equipment so i need a fix for this!!! i am glad i am not an integrator running this on a customers equipment! I would be out of business quick!!! running this on an ISY, Polisy running node server soon to be all polisy. Regards!

Well tried updating my Polisy this evening to 5.4.4 log in with launcher and it doesn't work. can SSH into Polisy but cannot get http and its on the same network! Connection refused try http://polisy name cannot be resolved. also do an update upgrade ssh and get all uptodate except pkg: squlitr error while executing ... disk I/O error??? do a complete reset it beeps and one lights on i can ssh but still connection refuses. well there goes all my plants and my pool control. this is still an issue for me this hardware i have both do not seem to work. dhcp and hell where do you set a staic address. so now I gotta figure out how i am going to water my plants and keep my pool clean because i was leaving on vacation next week.

IoP Now i have a question. i have not moved onto Polisy yet. Everything is running on my ISY. So i have an ISY and a Polisy running node servers. my question is this as i do not have time currently to dive back in however tonight i will. QUESTION: how does the AME NEM net energy meter work on Polisy as opposed to working on the ISY? if i move my system how & where do i setup the meter api? We used to log into the other abandoned frontend, what was it? Dashboard? DOH! anyway thank you for any input i cannot sit long enough to get it working without some exact procedures and i am just starting to read wiki.

Hello All, I think not until i had a BASpi from Contemporary Controls https://www.ccontrols.com/basautomation/ on my desk and witnessed the reaction of outputs and Inputs did i start to GET any of this. You all should look into these controllers especially installers, Integrators. With the BAS product i have put up you can have control of your Nodes or end Devices and they can be brought up on a commercial BacNet protocol system. Plus these controllers come with their own Programming tools suite called Sedona, based on Tridium (a visual programming tool). So anyone can do some complex routines i have just started to write. Also i am developing active touch screens at the controllers for local override. NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY!

I am currently working on this and will release it in a few weeks as soon as I have it installed and I test it on my HVAC system. I will also use the aux contact to open a dump damper to make the system a whole house attic purge. Hope you enjoy! Have a Wonderful Day. Regards

Re-built the whole thing, new video here! Learning Python is fun and with Great People like Bob Paauwe to straighten you out! THANK YOU BOB!!!

I have done a poor job of explaining my Video production on building a polyglot node servers of which we created BASpi_Garage_Doors. This is an overview of what will be out hopefully at the end from me today May 6th 2021, then on the store shortly after. First off I made some mistakes creating this. Number one the name is too long and the poly would not load, also while trying to fix it I broke it so it will not show UNINSTALL or UPDATE on the store if loaded, I appologize. I am rebuilding this and the original will be removed with instructions on how to remove the old one will be included here, https://github.com/sjpbailey/udi-poly-baspi6u6r-garage-door-master. Now I am talking about the Node Server I am testing an IOS app Javier is building for local control and you are going to LOVE IT, outside of configuration I think I will be monitoring and overriding all of my equipment with this great new tool. Video on the RPi using VLC media player to http output, then use VNC viewer to send it out locally and or with an account to you can access it from anywhere. Now this is separate from ISY no video piped through however each controller BASpi-6U6R or 6U4R2AO can be used for a local camera, 4 if you want to use all the USB inputs. I will try not to ignore all of you in the future on what I release as I am also still learning and have a long way to go! Cheers as in good tidings and I hope I am putting this up so you'll can see it. Regards!

Awesome Job Javier! Able to hide now! Perfection would be to have the ability to re-order Nodes all inputs then output ST statuses. Commands are solid as they appear in ISY/AC hiding unused would also be helpful but not entirely necessary. I do not spend enough time here when there is code to write. I will have to start to look in every now and then! Highest Regards!

Hello @Kevin Connolly, I also have a SkyBell and just started to sniff it based on this GitHub Repository https://github.com/thoukydides/homebridge-skybell/wiki/Protocol-HTTPS#get-activity-list So far with my username and password I was able to get a 200 OK response using Postman. The response included my first and last name, resourceId, "id": "access_token": etc... So I do not know if this is helpful or not. I am an old dog learning Python and am trying to figure out my first Node Server so I will be no help beyond this. Header: https://cloud.myskybell.com/api/v3/login/ Body: raw JSON { "username": "SkyBell@gmail.com" , "password": "Passw0rd" } Let me know if you are able to incorporate SkyBell into a node server, my head is still spinning from class while having none.
