@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?

@xgfreon That was easy. Not exactly intuitive, but easy. I didn't click around enough. Thanks.

@firstone I did get my image from UDI, that is what started all this. UDI is great and very helpful. My purpose of this was to create a bare metal recovery. Yes, overkill. However I can be back up and running in 30 minutes or less. As far as PG2 and PG3 databases; I thought they were in the cloud. This could be a week point for my madness. What is rsync?

@xgfreon So how do you put Rufus in read mode? I looked again today. Thanks

@TriLife, That is weird. I ordered that adapter to write the Polisy OS on the SSD per UD. I tried to do a factory reset and bricked the Polisy. I got instructions for UD on how to write the SSD. I used Rufus, like you, to write it. No problems. I wrote the procedure above to read and write a .img file so that I could backup a working system. Beside the .img file is 32 gig as it is uncompressed.

@ase, @BumbershootI figured if I were a Linux person I could probably mount the drive on a Linux box and do some more advance imaging. I am a PC guy so I had to do my way. I have limited Linux knowledge. Thanks for the good info. I will check out the provided links. I can't find anything on Eisy anywhere. I Googled it a while back. Thanks for the good info!

@vbphilYes the OS and everything is on the SSD. To me the "shiny Box" is just like a mini computer. Look at all the ports and stuff in there for SATA drives etc. I just don't want to get into it that deep. I need it to do what it is supposed to do. I have the pro unit. I would like to know if and where the Bluetooth board is. I have found the WiFI board and not a clue what to do with it or why I would want to do something with it. Someone who is really techie might want these options.

I haven't seen much on Polisy hardware in this Forum. So I figured I would add this. I like to back things up. So what if you get to digging into your Polisy and mess it up? You would have to go through all the hoopla of opening a ticket, getting the image, uncompromising it, writing it, etc. Actually it's not that hard. So I set out to back up the SSD. I used a mSATA adapter from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VP2WH73/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to physically mount my current mSATA drive. I attached my current Polisy mSATA drive to it and inserted it into my computer USB slot. First problem, it doesn't show up in File Manager. If I look in Disk Management it is there. I can't not assign a drive letter to it. Disk Management will not let me. All my imaging tools will not work as there is no drive letter. So I do some searching and stumble across "USB Image Tool", I used version 1.8.1. You can get it here: https://filehippo.com/download_usb-image-tool/1.81/ On the options tab there is an option to show USB drives, check it. Now the Polisy mSATA shows up! You can now back it up to an image (.img) file. Writing is just as easy. I used a 32 gig Dogfish $14 mSATA from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JHKFDL9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 to write the file. I put the new drive in the Polisy and all is fine. Granted you would have to reload anything installed after you created the image. I wonder if this will work on an Isy Micro SD card?
