I will say that getting the Polisy back up and running was a bit of a feat, but Michel was extremely helpful. I've been out of the geek realm for about 25 years. I used to know DOS commands with the best of them, but haven't had the time or inclination to delve into whatever language the ssh thing is. I am curious on the YT streaming thing and the practical use for it. I still haven't been able to figure out what I can do with Polisy/Eisy. So far, it turns on lights with voice commands or time.

I have four flood lights that are supposed to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise. I have two programs controlling these actions. After updating my Polisy to the eisy-UI, the programs don't work. Do I need to delete the programs and remake them? I tried adding specific times and that also failed.

Does "Upgrade packages" do this or is there something else? I'm a IoX 6.1.2 right now. When I type eisy.local or the polisy ip into my browser, it says it can't connect.

I picked up the Polisy when the Insteon crash happened. Now it looks like I'm having to replace hardware again. I see several versions of eisy. I need the ability to operate and coordinate Insteon devices and Hue lights, have Alexa control them, and that's about it. I honestly haven't found much else to automate. We use an Amazon smart plug for the Christmas tree so I don't have to climb behind it. Is eisy lite good enough for my purposes? I'm still not clear on the interface. How do I add devices by QR code when they are buried in a wall. Do I have to dig them back out if I have a glitch?
