Such a Debbie Downer . . . ? ? ?

Almost forgot - Release the hardware for our brothers across the pond for Christ sakes! Along with anyone else from Asia, Europe, Middle East, there's only 7 freaking billion people out there besides North America! ?

I'm not really worried about them selling hardware. What needs to change is allowing anyone (license) to build their own wares based on the Insteon technology. Selling the needed Insteon IC, Programmer, and direct support from engineers. Work toward releasing iCS3 which incorporates real encryption . . . Offer both the Nokia (Lets call it the pro line) and continue to sell the bread and butter Insteon line. Spend the extra $3~8 dollars for quality board level components! Lastly, f^cken iterate the line and build on the hardware's success! ?

Only time will tell as *Time* is the victor . . . ?

?

See now you went out of your way to burst my bubble! ? I had the smallest sliver of hope this new guy / team would come through. Now . . . Only to find out there's still an imbecile in the house . . . ??

I don't know why this comes off as a shell game where Michel at UDI never had a chance in winning this so called bankruptcy / shut down. I gave both the previous clowns a chance to prove themselves over the course of twenty years. ? Both failed at every turn and burned the company into the dirt. ? If the new owners states they will allow third party vendors to make Insteon hardware like UDI PLM Pro. I'll give them the rope they need and the time to get the so called company underway. If we see no other public engagement with the customer base - besides this posting. The writing is on the wall this is the same incompetent as^holes running the show! ? I haven't been wrong yet as it relates to Insteon / Smarthome management . . .

I had this on the radar for quite a while but simply forgot. As a quick break fix I changed my SMTP to another email provider: GMX Later I enabled 2FA on my Google account and followed their instructions to obtain their 16 character randomly generated password. I inserted the same into a few network appliances and email has been restored. When time permits I’ll try the same on the three ISY Series Controllers. NOTE: I used the same method on another appliance but it didn’t work. The vendor indicated other security formatting needed to be updated (firmware) to their network appliance for this to work. I’ll make a how to later unless someone beats me to it today.

Yes, use the serial to RJ45 cable hidden inside of the 2413S box. A standard Ethernet cable won’t allow a serial connection to the Polisy.

Honestly, some of the best one liners. [emoji106][emoji1787]

This is why Java needs to go away and just die. HTML-5 should be in place once Polyisy is fully baked. This whole 1990 Java sh^t just needs to go! [emoji107]

Understood, and know your feet are well grounded as to the application etc. I honestly just can't get past how yet another company feels compelled to follow the same idiotic footsteps like Crapple . . . So let me ask you this if I can . . . If you disconnect their system from the Internet can you on the LAN connect to it to operate, integrate, etc?? More specifically, if you have your very own weather station, NTP time server, can you tell their hardware to point and abstract that data???

It's been a really long time since you first started this conversation and me thinking about this new hardware. I took a quick look at some of the Amazon reviews and Q&A from potential buyers. I just can't get past the same bull sh^t that pervades this so called Home Automation industry. Can you pair this to any wifi or bluetooth speakers or just sonos? Answer: Brilliant currently only integrates with Sonos. You know Blue Tooth is an actual standard which was created to allow almost anything to be connected *Wirelessly* Yet these aszz hats won't allow BLE to connect to a simple aftermarket speaker?? Does this work with ip cameras? Answer: Currently Brilliant integrates with Ring cameras. We are always adding to our list of integrations so definitely check back at a later time. Here's another real winner of a answer. We'll support a POS device like Ring. But won't follow wait for it - Standards! The RTSP / ONVIF standard was created so ANY IP based security camera could be used and viewed! Yet, stupid here will only support yet again a a sub par Cloud First device. The reviews from customers also don't instill confidence in this hardware never mind the people who make this hardware. As soon as I hear and read a company is putting all their hardware on the reliance of the cloud. You know this isn't a serious company or one that will be around for very long. It just simply amazes me how utterly stupid people are getting every single year . . . I just want the entire Internet to shut down for an entire year. ?

I have to say the author of that web blog did a fantastic job in laying out all of the steps. @FloridaGary Thanks for sharing this new resource with the community! ? Rock On . . . ???

I'll take your word for it since you've always been a straight *shooter* <- See what I did there? ?Having Alpha / Beta tested their hardware early on the system was less than stellar in almost every way. If things have changed that's great to hear . . . ? I will continue to use the tried and true method with zero errors because it just works! ? As it relates to the application / API I gather this announcement means those who had the most basic access now is able to have all the fancy bells and whistles???

Off the top of my head I don’t recall any serious company ever asking money for their application and API?!? This isn’t music, video, or a game . . . I could understand if they restricted access to big players or asked for a NDA as it relates to the API. But, 99.99999% of all so called cloud only services offer both free! Because that drives adoption, market share, and long term growth. The fact people even considered paying for one or both just shows a lack of common sense for a half aszz product. [emoji1787]

I swear you guys have some of the best one liners. Some of you missed your calling in stand up comedy! [emoji106][emoji1787]

@LFMc being a Debbie downer that’s so unlike you! [emoji1787]

I don't follow a person / company doesn't *Try* to file for bankruptcy its literally done. Whether or not you receive protection against those (creditors) who have first dibs on your assets / cash is different.

Just can't argue with the facts - Maam! ?

I just want to argue with you so much - just can't! ?

Awesome - I want to see this news spread and plastered all over the world! Picked up by all the major news organizations and tech community. Shame the f^ck out of this dirty rat.

There's no irony simply you don't understand the facts presented by me as I have been watching this company for more than twenty years. I'll give you an analogy and if you can't follow how it relates to what I stated many times - that's on you. A person comes upon a car accident and the end result is the driver killed another person by running them over. The end result are two people are dead . . . Do the authorities stop there?!?! No, they ask the question(s) of why . . . They literally take all of the data they can obtain from first hand witnesses. Video surveillance, and of course a post mortem. When they piece all of the evidence together they find that at that very moment in time the light was red. The driver was drunk and clearly blew over the 0.08 limit and had no ability to react when the lights were solid red or when the person stepped into the intersection. It doesn't end there because video evidence and people on the ground state the pedestrian was doing what??? Wait for it . . . Head buried deep in their cell phone texting all the while blasting their ghetto music. No awareness or care of their surroundings and just walked out into the intersection like an idiot. 5th graders are taught what before stepping out??? So, are the material facts two people are dead or because it was completely avoidable and other factors played into an outcome that could have been avoided??? Could that dirty sh^t running Insteon / Smartlabs offered a final good bye??? It's only been 48 hours and counting and still nothing from this POS . . . What the public has been able to *Observe* just like the car accident are the bread crumbs of FACTS . . . - Everyone from the company have removed any mention or association of Insteon - Everything is shut down and no one is manning the phones / emails. - Inventory being liquidated - No new hardware being replaced or upgraded - Existing hardware being deprecated - No expansion to other markets to drive sales - Spun up a new brand under Nokia to get away from the stench of Insteon - The hundreds of other stupid things rolled out under the lead imbecile are too numerous to rehash here. - As others stated follow the money, follow the trends, follow the actions.

I have no clue what you’re saying.
