Oh my. Just for laughs I put my Pushover email address into Blue Iris and it works! Received text and image! Let me see how this works out... Thanks @paulbates How long before they shut me down?

For years I have been sending SMS text messages with and without images from ISY, Polisy and Blue Iris. UD devices gave up the ghost sending SMS messages over a year ago. Not sure why Blue Iris kept on working as I am using the same email server setting for both. I set up UD notifications and Pushover to take up the slack on UD devices. Blue Iris kept on running fine. Well that was until a few weeks ago. I am with T mobile and while I have SMS working it is spotty , d e l a y e d and took a lot of work. So the question is, is there anyway to send messages with pictures. I realize this is kinda a cross platform issue. I have the Blue Iris Polygot plug in running. It can take up for SMS and shove everything out on UD Notifications. However no pictures and I can't use the AI of Blue Iris to filter out junk. I can and do use email. It does work but is unreliable as I get over 500 emails a day. So if it is important I won't know to later on that day. I was thinking of setting up Pushover in Blue Iris. This would get the urgency problem fixed, but no pictures. Looking for good ideas to send pictures in a timely manor.

@Techman @Geddy Thanks guys. Another project!

@Techman I am using a USB Dongle. Zooz S2 stick 700. It is not a board. I have 2 of these. I have 2 Polisy. Both came configured the same way. Only 1 Polisy is online. My firmware and UI are at the same level. So I am thinking you are thinking; I need a Zmatter board?

@techman I am at Z-Wave level 700 on Polisy. Z-Wave is working fine. I just wanted to back it up because instructions said I should back it up.

I just did the 5.8.4 update. Everything is Okay or so I think. Z-wave is working fine. One of the steps to do the upgrade is to do a Z-Wave backup. I can't figure out how. Am I looking in the wrong spot? No backup option here. From system tab I see this. Also if I click on version it is well.. Nothing to see here.

@gviliunas Not exactly what I was hoping to hear. I guess I can finally stop hitting my head on my desk. I retrofitted a TrigerLink with a button a while back and while it does not look bad; it doesn't look good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0989V53JX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Thanks so much for responding!

@gviliunas I have been following a post from about 4 years ago about "The Button". I have the same model and make as you have. I have got it to appear on my installed devices. I have entered the 5 values you suggest. I have made a program looking at the scene. It all looks good but does not work. I have added and removed this button about 6 times.. I have cleared it memory many times. I get the same entries all the time. I just can't figure out what I am missing. I can see the button communicating on the event viewer. Thank you

@DennisC You found it! Thank you! It was on the first page of the second link. Now I have to digest it.

@GeddyI am still looking. Found it here last week. Thanks.

I searched this forum and found one topic on The Button, but now I can't find it. Basically people said it was very unreliable and didn't work. Then one guy figured out the madness and said it did work flawlessly. This person did not say what they did. They did say they put it in a scene. So I tossed an Insteon appliance module and The Button in a scene and well; nothing. Lets back up. It was a royal pain adding this thing to IoX. I had to add it and delete it many times. This is what I ended up with... Nothing works but it does report the battery status. When I press the button (no pun intended) it shows this..... So we know it is functioning. I have never written a scene. So maybe that is where my problem is. This is my scene.... When all is said and done, I would like to use this as a call button, so someone could signal for help on the other side of the house. Thanks for any tips!

That did it; thank you.

I am have issues migrating to PG3x on Polisy. I followed the instructions in the upgrade document and the WiKi page. When I type Enable PG3x: https://polisy.local:8443/rest/pg3x.enable (I have to use my local IP) I get: I have rebooted a couple of time and upgraded the Policy to 5.8.0 by using the Upgrade Packages in the System Tab. I rebooted a couple of times after the upgrade. Looking for some pointers

@AthlonThanks. I love your annoying little bug! Thought is was real and tried to squash it.

Polisy Ver 5.7. Today I receive a message that Polisy is offline. I blew it off, didn't think anything was wrong. However it really was off line. Nothing worked, I tried to log in to the admin console and it got suck on loading subscriptions. I killed the console and restarted. Same problem. So I pulled the plug on Polisy and restarted it. I thought all was good. Everything seemed Okay. However no programs worked. I looked a little deeper and ALL programs were disabled. I started enabling everything. Then I realized I have disabled programs amongst my programs. So enabling everything would not be a good idea. I reloaded a backup from a day ago and all is good. What happened???

I found the problem. I have a bridge between Polisy and my network as I don't have a network drop in that closet. The bridge is small, out of site, out of mind. Well the bridge was malfunctioning.

@MrBillI was looking at the Tools>Log, not the Tools>Error Log. According to UD Mobile the system went down/up this morning from 12:49 to 1:18. This is what the error log reports for that time. Tue 2023/06/06 12:48:20 AM 0 -101 portal Tue 2023/06/06 12:49:05 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 12:50:20 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 12:52:05 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 12:54:20 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 12:57:05 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 01:00:20 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 01:04:06 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 01:08:21 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 01:13:06 AM 0 -140000 my.isy.io Tue 2023/06/06 01:54:54 AM 0 -170001 <s:Envelope><s:Body><u:GetCurrentSystemStatus xmlns:u="urn:udi-com:service:X_Insteon_Lighting_Service:1"><SID>uuid:0</SID></u:GetCurrentSystemStatus></s:Body></s:Envelope Looks like Polisy was trying to hit the server at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 minute intervals.

@MrBilllog under tools in Polisy? Nothing. Maybe event viewer? I ran the log while it was down and ran it after it came up. Not a whole lot of entries for the particular time frame. UD Mobile did not catch this mornings event. It has never been down long enough to create issue in the past. Today, so far so good. Yesterday I asked Alexa to do something at 3 or 4 different times and it was down. Agave Couldn't connect either. My 4/8 button keypads worked fine. Admin console was up and running fine.

A while back there was a UD Mobile update that started reported the portal status. Well, I never thought much about it. From the start it is constantly going offline and online maybe once a day to about 6 times a day for a minute or less. Starting yesterday, it started bouncing several times going offline for about an hour then coming back online. All the time I can access Policy from admin console. UD Mobile is not even reporting all the events. Inside of Polisy, it shows a red flag. Then green. This morning it was offline. I clicked refresh and it went back on line. I am using Polisy ver 5.6. Portal shows it offline too. Now it is online. What does this mean?

I couldn't find anywhere how to do the update or that an update was ready. I forced it on the Configuration tab. Thanks for the clock fix.

@JMcKainWhere did you get 5.6.0?

Same problem here. All 3 of my thermostats times are off by 6 hours. I upgraded from ISY-944i were it was running fine. It worked without the write changes. I set the thermostat time every day at 3 am as to sync with programs in IoX. My time is 6 hours off no matter what time zone I set it too.. I just set it to the correct time manually then hit set time in IoX 5.5.9 and it threw it off. I guess I need to wait for the bug fix.

I am trying to trigger a camera on my Blue Iris computer using Network Resources in IoX ver. 5.5.9 . I can do it with one problem. I have to turn off "use secure session" in Blue Iris to accept the command. Here is what I works. I have done some looking around and if I put "http://192.x.x.31:81/admin?camera=CAM6&trigger" into a web browser and hit enter it triggers the camera. Nothing else required. Blue Iris does return 4 values that I don't care about. No password or user needed and "use secure session" in Blue Iris is on. Question is, how can I send this simple one liner command to Blue Iris using Network Resources? I have blindly messed around with GET, PUSH and PUT.

@Techman @Brian H The manual stands correct. The diagram I followed was wrong. TX and RX were reversed. Thank you.

I started on the ISY to Polisy migration. I am stuck. IoX will not detect my serial PLM. My ISY works fine with the same PLM. I built the cable myself as I don't have one. I have searched all over and have come up with the same pin out. This can't be rocket science. I have built many custom RS232 cables in my life. I am using the parts as in the picture. I have continuity between pins (RG45-DB9) 1-3, 7-5 and 8-2. What gives? Is the serial port disabled? What am I missing?
