I just updated my Polisy. When I tried to start the admin console using the currently available launcher here: https://www.universal-devices.com/resources/, I get an error saying that the firmware is version 5.9.1 and the admin console is 5.8.4. So, how do I get the appropriate admin console?

Back to normal here in NC. Alexa did some weird stuff and started collecting devices with the same name, so I'm going through and trying to simplify things. Probably some house keeping that needed to be done anyway. Everything with a Hue bulb now has an Insteon keypad between it and the supply.

It's just after midnight here on the east coast of the US. Went to turn off the lights using Alexa and it says the skill isn't enabled. Tried to enable the skill and it says something about the portal. Tried to log into the portal and I get a "HTTP 429 error". Google says that indicates I've made too many requests. The admin console says the portal is offline. Not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Interestingly, the PG3x UI showed the device names updated. The IoX did not update. I uninstalled the plugin and redownloaded it. It's not showing up in IoX at all now. I'm gone for the week, so I'll have to play with it next week some more.

I'm moving Hue bulbs around after adding smart switches at certain locations. I changed the name of the bulbs in the Hue app, but I can't seem to get the Hue plugin to update the names. How do I do that? Query doesn't do anything.

I ended up deleting the scene and just using the Fanlinc light part as a device with Alexa. Seems to work. The switch won't be involved, but at least the desired effect is achieved.

Yes, the Fanlinc is capable of dimming and brightening the bulbs. I checked a variety of them with the UDM. The keypad is an on/off switch (2487S), so the command would have to go directly to the Fanlinc.

My goal is a dumb LED light controlled by the Fanlinc. The Alexa category is Light. When I use the mobile app and select the 10% scene, the light turns off. If I select it again, it goes to 10%. Here are the pics. The light was on at 100% when the screen capture occurred.

Until I decided to Insteon the bedroom while my wife is off traveling, our typical nighttime routine was her telling Alexa to turn the lights to 10% and the Hue bulbs in the ceiling fan would comply. This left the room light enough for me to come in and then turn off the lights when I went to bed. Now I have a keypad and fanlinc. Would like to pull out the Hue bulbs for use elsewhere. I set up a scene in ISY called "Lights 10%" where the action is to dim the light to 10% over 8.5 seconds. I then published this to Alexa via the portal as an Alexa device. When I issue the command, the lights turn off. So, where am I going wrong? I'm not a programmer, so this is all new to me.

That failed. Probably because that's no longer the admin login. I also noticed that any changes I make in the Configuration part aren't saved. I changed the IP data and it reverted back to DHCP and won't let me change it. It won't let me change the admin account. Maybe I need to factory reset it?

I had to reimage my Polisy. It's now at 5.8.3 I can access it via the admin console locally. It can't reach the portal. I have a static IP on an Amplify router. I set this up a couple of years ago and don't recall it being this difficult. Does the admin username and password on the Polisy need to be the same as the portal? I don't have a firewall on the router that I'm aware of. I don't think the modem does either. In any case, I haven't modified either of them. The Polisy has the same local IP as it had before the reimage. Ideas?

Thanks. I opened a ticket. Hopefully it's a pretty simple fix. I'm out of town frequently, so I don't have a lot of time to spend playing with the Polisy.

I was adding an Insteon device to my network and the mobile app wouldn't find it. I've tried to update the Polisy via the same app for a while and it never took. IoxX couldn't find it. I ended up using the portal to log in but couldn't make any changes. While looking through the menus I found an updater. Everything seemed to be going well until an hour passed and I still just had the first light solid and the third light blinking and an offline system. 3.5 hours later, I had the same condition so I pulled the plug to see if that would reset things. Just have the first light lit. Still offline.

I did that as well as with an https. I ended up uninstalling Java, rebooting the computer and reinstalling it. That seems to be working right now. Hopefully that isn't the case every time.

I closed the admin console. Reopened it and it isn't bring up my ISY. Rebooted the computer. No change. Rebooted the ISY via the portal. Heard it reboot. Still not coming up. I cleared the Java cache, reinstalled the launcher, no ISY. Tried adding it with the IP address. No ISY. I can ping it through the command prompt with no issues. It is still showing up as a device in my router. Polyglot 3 appears to be connected to it. It's showing v5.4.3. It is also showing two ISYs - one with the correct MAC address and one with all 0s except the last octet being 01. Polyglot 2 is saying it can see the ISY at the correct IP address but needs a username and password. I've put that in several times with no luck. That's a frustration in itself for another time. At this point, I'd just like to be able to get back into the admin console.
