Pardon my ignorance, does this node server work thru a local API, or thru a Yolink cloud service?

I have been having those issues for quite some time. I have read somewhere a while ago that this is an issue between Google & Verizon, each blaming the other. It's on my to do list to switch over to use outlook.com as the email provider for sending ISY text messages. I just never got around to do that.

Honestly I never understood why UDI has to provide their own email server for this. Which IP camera brand for example, lets you use their own email server? They require you to set up email notifications using your own email account. All this does is creating a liability & additional support headaches for UDI. IMHO, best thing for UDI would be to give like 6 months notice, and then shut it down. Just my 2 cents.

@Michel, Are you saying that Smarthome has permenantly stopped making the PLM or just that they are out of stock right now? The former would be a very scary development.

Thanks

Does this node server control it locally or thru the cloud?

Chrome on Android.

Long time Android MobiLinc Pro user here. Where can I see the pricing, without installing the app, for all the various options dicussed in this & the other thread? The website has no pricing info.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Sorry for my ignorance, what does "We'll size" mean? Thanks.

Just to clarify, I am obviously not talking about when the Polisy will in the future eventually replace the ISY-994. Obviously we will need a separate one for each location to be used as a ISY-994 replacement. My question is now about Polyglot/node servers. I am actually still on the 4 branch firmware & have not gotten around to test either polyglot nor the portal due to lack of available time. So for that matter does the portal & polyglot cloud and/or polyglot installed on a pi currently support talking to more than one ISY? I currently have 3 ISY's, one at home and at my 2 offices. if I can get one Polisy to talk to all 3 ISY's plug and play out of the box, that would definitely be a no-brainer purchase for me. Thanks

@michel-kohanim Will Polisy support nodeservers for more than one ISY?

That post you responded to seems to have been a spam post.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. Scene commands are sent only once & no acknowledgments from the devices are received. The ISY just updates their status on the assumption that the scene command was properly received. With a direct command it is repeated 3 times until the device sends an acknowledgment. If your device has less than optimal communication this will explain why a scene command doesn't always work while you doing it from the console does work. You might want to consider having the program send direct commands instead of using a scene. Or you might send a direct command to that device only in addition to the scene.

I received my order 2-3 days ago.

For some people more than others.

I agree.

I remember that thread. In that specific case the lamp was controlled by an old switchlinc that always reverted to on after a power loss. That lamp was actually off when the scarf was thrown on it. It was only much later when they were away on vacation that the house had a power loss and turned on the lamp with the scarf on it.

And for a tenth of the price.

It would still take at a minimum several seconds of having the lights on at full brightness in the middle of your sleep until the ISY gets to send the command to turn it off on startup. What I have also noticed sometimes with those real short power outages for milli seconds, that's it's enough to reset my alarm clock and effect some electronics but not others. In such cases the ISY would not lose power either and wouldn't even know that there was a power outage. So in such cases I wouldn't even be able to rely on the ISY to run programs at startup.

The issue is not just that it doesn't remember the color. It doesn't remember the power state either. There are many posts on many forums from people complaining that every time they have the occasional 1 second power outage in the middle of the night, they wake up to having all their hue lights on at full brightness glaring in their face.

I don't have a WeMo myself but I know that IFTTT supports WeMo. There are a couple of threads about how to have the ISY send commands to IFTTT using network resources.

I don't know specifically about the iMeterSolo and I don't have Zwave. But for Insteon in general there is no "normal polling" involved. The Insteon devices instantly report any change in their status to the PLM/ISY. (With some exceptions on a few older devices) So unless there are communication problems, the ISY should have the correct status of all devices without any polling. Of course you could setup an ISY program to query devices if you want to. As for battery devices, those can't be polled since those devices go to sleep.

On an Android tablet I would use the Tasker app to do this.
