Don't want to open this can of worms but curious about the ISY part of the PolIsy
@Whitehambone, Precisely! And, the ever increasing rumors (form multiple sources) of no longer supporting third party integration + complete lack of APIs/Specs, are just making it very difficult for us to embark on any new INSTEON endeavors. With kind regards, Michel

@hart2hart, As I mentioned before, we'll do our utmost to support our existing customers with existing devices (as we always have). This said, there are things that are out of our hands. I cannot guarantee that we can pull a miracle when you need to replace your dead switch (or PLM) with a new switch (or something) for which we have absolutely no specs, no APIs, no contacts, etc. We are not going to back to those painful days of hacking, reverse engineering, and putting all our efforts in getting things to work for INSTEON/SmartHome. It's just not a sustainable business model. With kind regards, Michel

@MrBill, At the end of the day, it would be difficult to continue supporting something for which there's no demand outside of our existing customers (<5% of our sales) and no APIs/specs. So, of course we will do our utmost to make sure our existing customers are taken care of with existing specs/devices. The rest is pretty much up to SmartHome/INSTEON. If 13 years of history is any indication, I wouldn't put much hope on things changing. With kind regards, Michel

@Jimbo, Why would it matter if the functionality is the same? With kind regards, Michel

Don't want to open this can of worms but curious about the ISY part of the PolIsy
@MrBill, Has nothing to do with the PLM or hardware interface. It has to do with specs, APIs, and support of which we have none. As mentioned before, at the moment, this is not a choice for us since there's no information available to use to be able to size the effort of supporting new INSTEON devices. With regard to existing devices, we are debating native support (port from ISY) or a node server. Most probably the latter. @garybixler, Supporting network resources is not a problem and can be added depending on the number of users who request it. At the moment, everything works with network resources except for binary. Migrating binary resources to Polisy is non-trivial. With kind regards, Michel

@lilyoyo1, thank you very much! @carealtor, it's really not a choice as we have not been given one. There are no APIs, no specs, no information. The extent of our knowledge of anything INSTEON starts and ends with what we read on this forum. With kind regards, Michel

Don't want to open this can of worms but curious about the ISY part of the PolIsy
@lilyoyo1, Thank you very much for the feedback. At the moment - and since we are still 100000% in the dark - the thought of having to relive even 0.00001% of all the reverse engineering, all the blames, and all the support calls we had to endure gives me the hibby jibbies. Let's all hope that INSTEON will shine a light at the end of this very dark tunnel. With kind regards, Michel

Don't want to open this can of worms but curious about the ISY part of the PolIsy
@Blackbird, It's really not a can. ISY is currently running on Polisy extremely well and very fast! As a matter of fact, as of right now, you can do pretty much whatever you did with ISY (to speed development, unfortunately, it's still through the Admin Console) such as programs, node servers, and even portal connectivity. What's not there: 1. Z-Wave: figuring out which dongle to use (ours or off the shelf) + need certification 2. INSTEON: we are debating whether or not we want to support it at all 3. Modules: -- ELK is migrated to a node server @Jimbo -- Network module is no longer supported -- All climate modules are already supported as node servers What we are working now: 1. Stress testing 2. UDX service to advertise as polisy.local (so that you don't have to look for IP) 3. Secure and encrypted storage of certificates and sensitive info using TPM 4. Tighter integration with Polyglot We should have the alpha package in a month or so. If you are interested to test, please do make sure you are subscribed to our Product News and Announcements. With kind regards, Michel

Portal says ISY off line after new router install
Hi Steve, You should not do any port forwarding as it causes interference with everything else. What you need to look at is your error log to see why ISY cannot connect to ISY Portal. With kind regards, Michel

Unable to Remove Java Installed Applications and Applets
@docrix, Not really sure what you are seeking. What you need to do is to use the Launcher. The instructions for clearing everything else is also included in the link. With kind regards, Michel

Polisy Holidays-poly node
Hi @asbril, Sure, please send me your error log. I don't think the fix had anything to do with reinstallation. I think you are reaching the limits of how many events ISY can handle at the same time (255 per queue at any given point in time and about 10 per second). So, if you have a lot of queries or if you have node servers with a very low short polling interval and if you have many programs that depend on these events, then for certain your queues are going to get full. With kind regards, Michel

Socket Open Failed SSDPClient
@vbphil, You can safely ignore this ... most probably you have firewall software blocking UDP packets to the UPnP port. Since ISY no longer depends on UPnP for finding ISY, you can safely ignore this error. With kind regards, Michel

Release 5.3.2 Test Build - OUTDATED
@thruster999, Cannot really debug with generic information such as above. If you have this issue, please send your UUID + the approximate time of the event so that we can take a look at the logs. With kind regards, Michel

Polisy Holidays-poly node
Hi @asbril, This seems like ISY dropping packets. Have you tried looking at ISY error log for UD Queue Full? With kind regards, Michel

Recovering a hacked ISY994i
Hi @lhranch, 1. No, factory reset does not clear logs 2. The password is on SSD 3. Yes, under /CONF 4. Yes, but it's going to be very painful since we don't have an editor in ISY. 3 would be easier With kind regards, Michel

ERRORA.LOG Problem
@SteveSBE, No, definitely not unless you were using a low capacity SD Card + many many node servers + event viewer on level 3 + many programs running at the same time generating events + init variables . If you have many node servers + you use event viewer on level 3 a lot, it's best to use at least 8GB SDHC class micro SD Card. With kind regards, Miche
