I am currently on Polisy with v5.4x running, mostly Insteon but with a Z-Wave dongle and some devices, and PG3, and everything is running 100%. I am vacillating as to when/if to make a firmware (+/- Matter board) update move. It is kind of, when do I want to create work for myself. 😁 Plan to stay with the Polisy, bought two just before the eisy was announced. * Orest

If I read it right, currently there isn't an upgrade path Polisy/PG3x -> eisy/PG3x. There is a path for Polisy/PG3 -> eisy/PG3. So a move to eisy would be complicated if you moved to PG3x on the Polisy. * Orest

So, basically, if on Polisy -- stick with PG3? * Orest

You can search, but use the RAW checkbox ticked. I find it easier to dump the whole listing to a text file, and use an editor outside of the UI. The listing is of course static, but usually does the trick, and can be easily refreshed as needed. A great fallback when a restore is needed in a FUBAR situation. * Orest

So, I understand that the Z-matter board must have the USB connectors for the new eisy. But, I have the Polisy, actually two of them, yes bought a pair two months before the eisy was announced -- oh well. In any case, do want to keep the Polisys running as long as practical. I have the Zooz USB dongle, dipped into Z-Wave during the Insteon time of troubles, actually delighted that Insteon is back, can even buy PLMs. My mixed setup is working great, mobile UD, PG3 (older) have some weather nodes as well. I have frozen it at IOX 5.4x. Wish there was a LTS concept in these firmwares. But, I digress. My question is, does the Z-matter board "pop-out" of the USB box, and can it then be inserted into the Policy box as it was prior? Or, do you need to use one of the USB slots on the back of the Polisy? I understand I will have to update to the latest firmware, and so on, read through all the wiki stuff (and some of the trouble reports here) -- so I remain a bit reluctant. That said, eventually I may get firmware "orphaned", so will need to do it some time. * Orest

With the consistency of the error, sure sounds like a bad/failing SD card. The other really weird issue I've seen, is if you have any open UDP ports. It doesn't need to have anything to do with your ISY itself. Open UDP ports (vice TCP) will allow a lot of junk to flood your network. It likely won't get anywhere, but the extra traffic can overwhelm the NIC on the ISY. Unlikely that you'd get such consistency in that error, but worth a shot. * Orest

I hate the Spring forward thing, but I think that settling on "summer" time as a single zone is a big mistake. Instead ... We should just settle on the "standard" time zone for each. That way, noon will have the sun more overhead, like it was designed for, and we won't have dark & gloomy mornings in the winter. * Orest

... like a default color for negative values!? 😉 Well, the app specific PIN is different from the main system PIN, and quick and easy to punch in. I am not too worried about this mobile app, but personally would not use a higher risk app that didn't have an app specific PIN. Thanks for putting it on the list, even if lower priority. * Orest

Perhaps it is there already, but I can't find it. I'm thinking an optional four to six digit PIN before a user gets access to the app. The access permission should timeout after a bit, and any time the app shutdowns now. * Orest

I had seen the same thing. It was fixed, even before I reported it. Thanks. * Orest

Isn't IoX == IoP, just the new name for the cross device version? (still sitting on Polisy with an empty slot, with 5.4.x) * Orest

That is a nasty one, I was not aware of it. But, I tend to two-step situations like this in any case -- good thing! * Orest

I'm waiting until they sort out the firmware issues, and so on. And, I'm in no hurry. My Z-Wave is working fine, and I always prefer a x.1 version. * Orest

Well, how about that, look at these fellas (aartech.ca), hte ZMatter board actually in stock. Lots of Insteon modules appearing as well, still no PLM. * Orest

The 12mm (1/2"). Used 9 point text, bolded. Of course you need to trim the leading and trailing bits of tape, and some careful aligning to make it perfect. It helps to use one of the removed backing strips, put back on, as a little handle. * Orest

Yes, all the Brothers support using their clear tape products. And, yes you need unlabelled buttons. Works quite nicely. In this panel, one of the buttons has the default lettering on it, you'll notice it is hard to tell the difference. If you need to repurpose the button, a minute later you have a new label to put on. Only the Sensor button is "on" here. * Orest

@NDSSM And, will you ship (back) to Canada? * Orest

Thanks, US only, but gives me the exact part numbers to look for. * Orest

And I'd prefer the non-Ruzzian units! 😉 * Orest

Do you have some links for the sensors? * Orest

Are these wireless remote sensors? Can more than one be used, for EACH thermostat? I use several Venstar 1700/1800 stats with the Insteon dongles, together with remote sensors. Work great, but if they every give out might need to replace them. * Orest

Holy Hannah! You need to find a new source! * Orest

Morse code!! * Orest

There is no Insteon chime that I know of, but I was in a similar situation and found a great Z-Wave chime that does that, and much more. Really like it. Search here on Ecolink Chime. * Orest

Well, no need to fear! $181 for shipping!! LMAO. * Orest
