Best ISY compatible LED light strips?
I actually HAD a real bug in my monitor. And, it had to be my big 34" curved 21:9 unit! It was crawling around between the plates. Disgusting. I just turned off the power, and turned off the lights in the room, and left the lights on in an adjacent room. The next day, it was gone! Thank goodness. Never seen that one before, but googling around, seems it isn't too uncommon. * Orest

To "500" or not (Z-Wave motion)
In the outside location, I'd be running the AC to it. But I guess that still would not change it from a "battery operated" device. But, yes, end of a ZWave leg, so ... * Orest

To "500" or not (Z-Wave motion)
So the Aeotec Multisensor 7 does a lot more than just motion. I don't need the extra, but it appears sold out anyway. The Zooz ZSE18 & ZSE29 show as available, but both are series 500 devices. I am more looking for an outside model, the ZSE29. It would be at the "end of the line" in the mesh, but I just don't want to mess up the rest of the system which is all 700. I'm a newbie at Z-Wave, and not sure if this one 500 unit would force a downgrade of the rest of the units so they could run on the same mesh, or whether it is just the need to pass through a unit that causes this issue. Did read through the tips & tricks, but it wasn't that explicit. I have run out of Insteon motions, virtually all of my system remains Insteon, but have been looking at ZWave since the recent events. So far, I am impressed with ZWave. I did take the time to arrange the six or seven modules appropriately, and have a booster. Thoughts anyone? * Orest

Adjusting Ramp Rate on ZEN77
Don't use HA, and don't have a Pi. But, could install HA into a VM. Wonder if that would allow for the updates. * Orest

Adjusting Ramp Rate on ZEN77
So, it looks like this issue has been addressed by zooz, with the addition of three more settings. Same configs are present now in Zen72 as well. Of course doing a firmware update involves a lot of fiddly legwork at the moment. I'll just continue using ZWave ON/OFF with an explicit value and ramp rate for now, in Polisy, hoping that the new UD zwave boards (this Fall) allow for direct firmware updates. * Orest

Adjusting Ramp Rate on ZEN77
I gave up on this, and just use a full rate and final value definition for any ON & OFF commands with the Zooz switches. If there is a way to set the default ramp and ON value (when not using a physical touch), I'd love to know how. * Orest

Admin console - remotely
I thought I had managed to run the AC through the portal, at a remote location, off my home LAN. In the past I used to open up ports, but prefer not to do that. I can open the Device/Program list using Select Tool | ISY Web access, but that is not what I'm looking for. * Orest

Getting ready to move to Polisy, latest version prior to conversion?
5.3.4 is the latest for the 994, no harm is a quick update. But, any version from 5.0.16 and up, can migrate to IoP. I believe there can be some issues with some Polyglot nodes if moving from older versions of ISY on the 994. I didn't have any, so moved right from 5.0.16. * Orest

Insteon acquired and servers coming back up
IANAE, but here are the physical layers for Matter ... Ethernet (LAN, a wired internet connection) Wi-Fi (WLAN) Thread (a wireless mesh network) Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for setup only So, it doesn't define a new framework, it uses those that are now in existence. And Wifi is definitely in. It is an IP over xyz type construct. It's earlier name was CHIP, connected home over IP. * Orest

Thinking of migrating ISY to Polisy - need a little help
@MJsanA lot of information in the Polisy & IoP and 700 section. I made a couple of posts, I just recently moved 994 -> Polisy/IoP and added in some ZWave. It all works well. Making the move all at once, actually makes it a lot easier. * Orest

ZSE43 Tilt | Shock sensor
Was the issue reception, from inside of the box? If so, I guess you could put it on the outside top, perhaps a bit "ugly". Which window sensor did you end up using, the ZSE41? * Orest

ZSE43 Tilt | Shock sensor
Thinking of getting one, to monitor the activity at a mailbox with a vertical swinging door. https://www.getzooz.com/zooz-zse43-tilt-shock-xs-sensor/ Looks to be right up to date, 700 series and all. There was this cautionary note at the supplier ... ------ Beta release: you may need to update the firmware in the near future to get full functionality of your device; the device may not be fully compatible with your hub at the time of this release. ------ Anyone got and installed one of these, to work with the Polisy/700 dongle? * Orest

PG3 time issue
Setting time backwards may cause PG3 to stop updating until the next day (or it's restarted). ... from the notes on PG3. Does that include the time set back that occurs in the Fall with the move to standard time from summer daylight saving time? * Orest

Polisy and X-10
Well, that was simple. GFCI is the issue. Now, I knew that a GFCI module would stop power line X-10 & Insteon signals, I had just forgotten that the outlet in question was on a GFCI circuit. When I put the unit back in its old outlet and it worked fine there, the mystery started to unravel. Problem solved, the X-10 chime will continue ding-donging. * Orest

Polisy and X-10
OK, so it should work. Certainly the statements are still there in the AC. Will continue to investigate. It may well be that the hardware has finally failed, although it does ding-dong when you first plug it in. Thanks. * Orest

Polisy and X-10
Do I remember correctly, that X-10 support has been removed from IoP? I still have an ancient X-10 ding-donger, which no longer works on IoP. I replaced its function with a cool Ecolink chime/alarm, but wanted to use this guy as an ancillary patio/outside alert. * Orest

Backup fails because "Could not Retrieve File .../NTCLIST.CFG
A failing SD card would be my first thought, but you've already replaced your card once. Very uncommon, but you might be having a 994 hardware failure. OK, one long shot, do you have any ports open externally at your router, in particular any that allow UDP packets? ISY 994 network operations can be hung by flooding with junk UDP packets coming in through any open port. I got hit with that once, although it was a slightly different issue. Otherwise (or IAC), you should open up a ticket with UD. They respond quickly. * Orest

Setting Z-Wave Fade Rate
Unlike with INSTEON devices you need to set config parameters. The AC won't do the work for you like with a 2477D. And even then from what I can see, you still need to set ramp up targets with the Zooz switches in the ISY command. * Orest

OpenWeather Map Node server Status goes blank
OK, went into the OW node, and clicked Load Profile. There was no alert or announcement, and the button stayed pushed, BUT on refresh of the AC I now see what you have depicted. So fixed. Thanks. * Orest

OpenWeather Map Node server Status goes blank
OK, so Node server Online shows 1 now. However, doing an IF statement in ISY, only allows for % on that field, namely 0%, 1% & 2%. Ignoring that it is %, and just testing against 1% (or 0%), doesn't test as TRUE/FALSE. Now, that might be an ISY thing, but this isn't working yet. * Orest
