devices and scenes to favorites
PM sent - please don't invest too much time in this. I'm not having any issues with UD Mobile currently as I was able to get past this as noted above. I'm just sharing if it is of interest you. I just assumed it was because of the different ISY portal accounts. Maybe the IOS version? I was on 15.5 and she may have still been on 15.4.x (UD Mobile app same 0.7.6 across all)

devices and scenes to favorites
Thanks again, this was useful. To clarify what I meant by specific to user, I set my wife up a separate ISY portal user. I was able to backup from my phone and restore to my ipad, but I could not restore to the same backup to her phone (it crashed the UD mobile app, ie. it would no longer open it just flashed and closed each time attempting to open it after) - so I had to remove the app, reinstall and start over. One I set up her favorites, I did the back/restore from her phone to her ipad and that worked just fine.

thanks @Javi - I did see the backup/restore, had not tried it yet. I am guessing this is specific to the user?

devices and scenes to favorites
I just want to make sure I'm not making this more laborious than it needs to be... trying to add most (or all) devices to the launch page... which looks like the options are limited to default/home tab or favorites so currently I am adding favorites one-at-a-time by pressing + on the favorites page > display node > home > devices and scenes > pick the device or scene > change icon [optional] > save ...rinse and repeat This seems to be good for one mobile device, so I have to repeat multiple times

stuck on step 2
@bpwwer no prob - and thanks again, you helped me get further than I was! @automationgeek Hi - it looks like you are the author... can you offer any advice?

stuck on step 2
thank you - sorry for the slow reply I just saw this because I checked back, I guess I mistakenly assumed I was automatically subscribed to notifications for content I posted (just updated my profile settings, so I am now) I hadn't seen the node show up before on my PG3 home dashboard and as my 1st install I wasn't used to checking there. I was able to add the host and it has connected (I can issue commands from the AC) but my set temp is showing as 102C ! would you happen to know if this can be corrected to fahrenheit? also there's only 2 pumps showing (I have 3).

Insteon hub refugee
Just made the switch to Polisy - 24 hrs in and I am impressed. it was a tad bit confusing to get going but quickly fell into place some background - I was a hub 1 and 2 (never hub pro but considered) user for 10+ years. Moderately active on the Insteon forum for years, incl beta testing and obviously aware of ISY for a long time… but I was always content w the Hubs … never really dealing w the houselinc and older tech I didn’t have the impulse to look elsewhere. It is nice to see some familiar user aliases over here. Since the shutdown I’ve tried a number of workarounds (home assistant, openhab, hoobs & homebridge, and homeseer) of them all HA was the most useful to me and probably the easiest to understand. And I’m grateful for them to help me get to this point. But there’s nothing like having raw native control like Polisy delivers! It ain’t pretty but it’s beautiful! (No offense - I know the topic gets brought up a bit but it really is a wolf in Windows95 clothing ?) and of course support from Michel has been the royal treatment everyone says it is! Still learning but not looking back.

Polisy programming clarifications
Interesting. I factory reset my switches but most plug in modules are not easy to get to so I used the clear links… it seems pretty thorough like even mini remotes removed that somehow seemed like they were permanently linked prior. what does a reset do besides clearing the device link db?

stuck on step 2
installed this but step 2 udi-spa-Node server/README.md at master · UniversalDevicesInc-PG3/udi-spa-Node server · GitHub says Add a custom variable named host containing the ip address of the bwa™ Wi-Fi Module when I'm in the AC and go to variables I can add a state or an integer = which one am I using? and after the name host what field does the IP address go in (tried them all w no luck)

not in the Node server Store?
thanks- i just realized i was in the wrong place and went to go update my original post but you beat me to it! I needed to be at my polisy ip address:3000/getns

not in the Node server Store?
looking for the RainMachine in Polyglot-Cloud (isy.io) and it says 38 current node servers - this isn't one of them. what am I missing to install?

PLM possibilities
@Brian H thanks - looks like you answered that! any idea if there are other potential donor daughter boards (besides from a 2413 itself?) The reference to 3.3v came from the 2245 conversion - as well as the pinout circled here
-
PLM possibilities
This is what I was trying to confirm- so it stands to reason the 2443 could be repurposed to function as a 2413. Disregarding the rs232 board for the moment I’m going to see if a donor daughter board from a 2414u might work
-
Just picked up another Polisy!
thanks - mine looks like that as well. FCC photos show that one and a newer iteration that has some pins in the same section. I moved the discussion over here
-
PLM possibilities
sorry typo on my part - I meant the ubiquitous 2413
-
PLM possibilities
sorry I just updated to clarify - i was referring to the 2443 "access point" not the hub pro. FWIW the access points can be found ~$20 ish on ebay right now so I bought one to experiment with
-
PLM possibilities
There’s a thread here that sorta branched off to a hub as plm discussion … https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/36258-just-picked-up-another-polisy/ I figured rather than hijack further it may be more considerate to start a new one - so here goes: i ordered a RS232 To TTL Converter as @apostolakisl suggested might work and proceeded to open up a spare 2245 hub… I’ve been searching for some schematic or detailed photos to identify the Tx & Rx (3.3v and ground were easily identified) and I’m just not clear on where they are. However I may have stumbled on to something else. After looking at diagrams and internal pics for the 2413 (PLM) FCC ID SBP2413U or FCC ID SBP2413S and the 2443 (Access Point) FCC ID SBP2443A they look virtually identical (less the serial or USB daughter card on the 2413). has anyone attempted a conversion on one of these?

Just picked up another Polisy!
looks plausible - I’m willing to give it a shot

Just picked up another Polisy!
regarding this - it seems a forum member @Codra was able to do that a DIY kit or perhaps a depot service to send for conversion would be cool

Waiting patiently for Insteon info from Michel
same - I believe the last update was this one I've be trying to refrain from commenting since everyone keeps adding their "this is what should" ... ideally maybe @Michel Kohanim would consider a consolidated update thread (perhaps closed to comments).

Michel, how can we help?
re: hub customers - possibly they are basing this on the # of hubs sold? I've personally bought no less than 4 (one 2242 and three 2245's when my 1st 2245 went bad I bought 2 so I'd have a spare). I'm sure there is someway to verify active (or at least active as of 4/14) hub accounts - since the hub cannot function through the native app without talking to connect.insteon.com ... and that was on AWS VPC Maybe they could also share what the AWS monthly spend was to get an idea of what it would take from a hosting perspective if the service were to be brought back online.

Insteon HUB (2245) cloud servers shut down
I think you could say just that - as-is, use at your own risk, etc what's your price?
