After unsuccessfully not being able to restore communications, I went to bed and woke up to communications restored.

Yes I am. For the last week, I have lost the integration between the ELK and EISY. I don't see anything wrong and UD Mobile shows that ELK is connected. Did you get it to work and if so, how?

Same here!

I've been using Hikvision cameras for a while now and I am a fan of their "smart" analytics, ex. line crossing, intrusion, etc. Unfortunately, I am limited with how many inputs and outputs that are available. Has anyone successfully integrated the EISY with Hikvision. I did a little searching around the web and found that some have integrated Hikvision with Home Assistant but I am currently not using HA. Thanks!

What do you mean by the UD Mobile Command class? Is this an actual webinar that teaches to about the app or is this a command instruction you perform in the app?

When we built out house 3.5 years ago, I went with a non smart motorized shade from Select Blinds. It came with a remote where I could manually control those shades by assigning each shade to a channel, It looks like recently, they came out with a Smart Connect Bridge hub that will allow for some level of automation. Ex. Alexa, control4, etc. Are there a lot of Eisy users that also have select blinds motorized shades? A PG3 plugin would be great, otherwise some creative rules through Alexa and Eisy.

Great, thank you.

Can you keep your smart wall controlled with motion and add a second simple push button like the one you linked for a total of 2? If that’s the case, that’s probably the best method to tie into an elk m1 instead of hacking a wireless remote in my situation.

That worked. As soon as I went into program, I was able to see the option for Ding. Thanks for the help guys.

I have a Ring elite doorbell and just installed the Ring nodeserver. I only see 2 nodes that were installed. One for battery health and the second for motion. What about actual press of the pushbotton on the doorbell? Shouldn't that be a ring or am I missing it?

Got it.

Much appreciated. Thank you.

So I finally upgraded to the EISY. Installation was smooth including the ELK integration. My issue now is trying to find out the easiest way to arm/disarm the alarm and check status. When using the UD Mobile app, is there a way to add status to the Home page? Is there a easy high level way that I can tell the status of my alarm without having to drill down to Devices and then Area? Can I change colors to signify Armed/Disarmed?

How is the myQ integration with the Eisy? Any issues, delays?

With the relaunch of Insteon and the future integration with matterX, what’s everyone’s thoughts on a updated Swirchlinc design. Instead of the current led design, how about a light bar. They could then sell a plate to retro fit the original design for anyone trying to match existing switches 🤷‍♂️

Good news about PLM’s next week, new Eisy controller coming soon. All I need now is access to devices, ex switches, keypads, etc. This is definitely a breath of fresh.

That is awesome to hear that they are applying to be a partner. We are living in our 3rd home with an M1. It is a bit cumbersome but I love the integration. I love that it integrates well with the isy. And lastly, I love that I don’t have to use I/O lincs when using the elk.

Do you really think they’re a change that ra3 would work with the ISY? let’s say the answer is yes to the question above, would you go with the M1 Alarm or another choice?

I think this is the future unfortunately. https://zigbeealliance.org/news_and_articles/chip-is-now-matter/

Do you have an Elk? With the Elk integration, you can add outputs to control any set of contacts.

While how unfortunate COVID is, I hope that is the case. I’ve been a long time supporter of Insteon and I hope they don’t go under.

Any updates with the status of Insteon? Common parts such as switchlinc’s and outletlinc’s continue to be sold out. When they come back in stock, it’s only for a couple weeks. I don’t want to hear that it’s COVID related because most businesses have restarted their shops in June.

You can buy a 2 pole Contactor rated for the load with 120V control voltage. Use a standard Insteon on/off switch to control the turning on/off of the Contactor.

I had a Racho 3 in my previous house probably would not go that route again for two reasons. Everything is cloud based and it’s a little difficult to operate from the controller without the app. I will be buying a rain machine because of the positive reviews, the interface from the control panel, and the support for a flow meter. Rachio does come with a flow meter and I never had any issues with it.

We are 3 weeks away from moving into our new build but also my third home where I have used Insteon. I also had similar concerns but as other members have said, Insteon switches have come a long way. My biggest issue was the lack of integration which PolyISY now brings to Insteon. Being this was my third home, I’ve learned a lot and these were my highlights. 8 wire for thermostat for humidifier control Elk for security and wired every walk in closet and pantry into it to automatically turn on lights. Ran conduit throughout Prepped for cctv, security, and leak detectors near anywhere there was a sink. Installed a flow meter for my sprinkler Wired for ceiling mounted poe access points for WiFi Everything else was already mentioned.
