And this one ... Utilitech Z-Wave Glass Break Detector Available at Best Buy! * Orest

There is also a Honeywell FG-30, found it on Amazon. Hard to know if it operates with dry contact out, but the comments seem to imply that it does. * Orest

The problem with powerstrips is only if they have "surge suppressors" in them. These are just capacitors that force voltage spikes to ground. As the power line signals from Insteon are just that, mini-spikes, that can reduce performance. It won't affect the RF side of course. The irony is that the surge suppressor capacitors eventually give up the ghost, and then the setup make actually magnify the effect of power line surges. In my view, unless properly hardy and heavy duty (like commercial boxes), these are not a good idea. So, just look for the very cheapest power strips, or get the ones made more for the home workshop environment, both usually don't have this circuitry. Or if you are handy, make your own. * Orest

Well, if wiling, can you post those links as well? * Orest

Not sure where to put this hardware question ... Looking to build in an acoustic glass break, probably with an IOLink or similar. Or even if there was an integrated device, such as the many cool ZWave modules, that would be fine too. I am NOT looking to put in a full alarm panel, just add this one element. Preferably wired. Any suggestions? * Orest

This is a brand new out of the box Polisy (sat for a bit), that I reflashed/updated with @Michel Kohanim directions. Then I restored some programming from a 994 that is being taken out of service, this is a secondary unit at my vacation property. Then, followed that with the PG3 to PG3x enabling. I don't have any nodes on this unit. This is all in the last week. @Geddy Will take the steps suggested, next time I'm up there, should be within the week. Thanks. * Orest

Did just reboot the Polisy, due to the time shift bug, and also had a power cycle when I was restructuring some of the cabling, both this weekend. Can give it another try, but not too optimistic. Is there a way to force a restart of that service, by SSHing in? This is a new migration, I have never accessed the PG3 or PG3x service on this Polisy. * Orest

Yes, I have PG 3x in the top corner of the log in screen. Using the AC password (not my old PG password), I get the following .. What am I doing wrong? * Orest

I seem to recall that you had to do something special to update to the 5.8.0 "refresh". I have ... Is that the latest? * Orest

Did you update something??? * Orest

These issues occur on a Polisy as well, but ONLY if the firmware is up to date. I have one Polisy running 5.8.0 (with these issues), and one at 5.4.4 with none. * Orest

It seems that the time change can kill looping programs, I saw that last time and added some keep alive checking. Sure enough it kicked in early this morning. This is 5.8.0 with a Polisy. Don't know if that is a factor in your case. * Orest

You can only change the background, I usually set Desert, a kind of mid-brown. (under Themes) That helps, but it doesn't persist long, and has to be reset. * Orest

I have been told by @Michel Kohanim, that the optimal sequence is to enable PG3x on the reflashed Polisy, and only then to restore the old PG3 nodes. * Orest

I need to update a working Polisy (v13.0), running 5.4.4 and PG3 (with three weather nodes), with a serial PLM, and a large complicated Insteon network. It also has a plug in USB ZWave Zooz Stick 700 running a small number of ZWave. There a number of challenges, as the BIOS does have to be reflashed to factory state, the UPDATE button has a good chance of bricking it. I'm wondering specifically about the Zooz card, and my ZWave (all 700) setup. Once the Polisy is reflashed and IOX restored, do I just plug that same Zooz USB stick back in, and it should just work? Or is the setup going to be all farkled, and I will have to start over? There is no backup available for the Zooz stick, but I'm wondering if it is needed, as all the definitions I believe reside on the stick itself. * Orest

Success! Thanks. * Orest

The ISY Web access will bring up the lists of devices, and so on, and the UI app works fine, so something is working. So I ferreted out the my.isy.io ..../desc url from the ISY information dialog. Put that in the ISY finder, it populated with the "cloud" address entry, got the usual Admin UI credential request, put that in, but it failed. Yes, I doubled checked it. I then (after 3 tries) got just a blank Admin UI. Wonder what I'm doing wrong? Do I use the portal login instead? Is there some setting needed? * Orest

I've read all I can on the wiki and the forums. I have an older Polisy running v13.0 (5.4.4 / PG3), so updates are not safely available with the Admin UI UPDATE button. Getting updated means reflashing the mSATA card (I'm familiar, already done once), but on a working Polisy that can lead to a number of challenges. Specifically here, if someone could answer about the PG3 -> PG3x issue. Should I update to PG3x now, it does indicate to not do that unless you updated your device, which I can't do directly, so assuming I shouldn't. Backing up PG3, can that be restored to the PG3 running on the new flashed mSATA, which will have 5.8.0 and the last available PG3, or should I then update the PG3 -> PG3x first, before trying a restore? Thanks. * Orest

It was my plan to NOT migrate to the new ZWave board at present. Just wanted to get my Zooz stick working again, when I update PG/x and IOX. Given that I'm on an old Polisy OS (v13.0), the easy upgrade procedure is not available, so have to wipe the mSATA card clean, restart/run the new OS, and then restore. A pain, but it is what it is. So, my questions revolve around the Zooz ZWave dongle, and PG3/x. Restoring the IOX itself is dead simple, and not an issue. * Orest

There is no such option, that I can see ...

I don't believe there is any way to backup ZWave, when using the original Zooz stick. * Orest

I updated an old (new out of the box) Polisy with the image reflash. All good, and easy enough. But now need to do the same with another working Polisy (v13.0), running 5.4.4 and PG3 (with three weather nodes), with a serial PLM, and a large complicated Insteon network. It also has a plug in USB ZWave Zooz Stick 700 running a small number of ZWave. Just to be sure, the correct steps would be: 0) Ensure good backups of IOX and PG3. I understand there are no backups of the Zooz stick, but the information should remain safe on the stick (?) for transfer. Plan 1) Dissasemble and reflash mSATA card as per the previous UDI directions, and as I just completed on the other Polisy. 2) Start the Polisy up, let it boot, address it and select upgrade packages, reboot. 3) Enable PG3x. 3) Restore backup of IOX. 4) Restore backup of PG3. I believe that PG3 will now restore to PG3x, or should I leave the enabling of PG3x until AFTER the PG3 import? 5) Plug Zooz stick back in. Questions Will I also need to configure the PG nodes in the admin interface, or will these just come up? Will the ZWave setup carry over, including having the devices properly keyed to the programming code? Any other concerns or suggestions? Thanks. * Orest

Will do. * Orest

I did have a quick peek inside, there isn't an obvious version number (vs. part number) stamped on the SATA card, the unit does have a TPM daughterboard. Unit purchased May 2022. * Orest

I have been running a Polisy for years, and many ISYs before that. Have a large Insteon/ZWave dongle setup at home (Polisy v5.4x), and a simple Insteon only setup at my cottage (older ISY994 v4.90). I had bought a new Polisy as a backup, and for potentially updating my cottage, yes about one month before the Eisy was announced! That said, it is still sitting in its box, together with a brand new serial PLM. I'd like to now use it to update my cottage setup, and add that to my portal and the UD mobile app for remote access, already have my home setup there. My biggest concern is that I may brick my brand new Polisy during initial setup, when it tries to update itself (as per the Wiki docs). Is there a way to avoid this, or at least check to make sure it is not susceptible? Obviously I can't REST in or SSH in, until it is booted. I know that my current Polisy is susceptible, as I can't get a system version with the REST command. That has stopped me from updating it, for now, but that is another story. I will eventually move to an Eisy at home. I understand that going v4 -> v5 might farkle up the coding, went through that for my home setup some time ago, but my cottage setup is simple enough that recreating it from a program text dump would take little time. * Orest
