So did you receive it yet. How do you like it? I've been searching for a plug-in dimmer where the load outlet is facing down or left/right, not straight out. So far I'm liking the Leviton DZPD3-2BW Decora Smart Plug-in Dimmer with Z-Wave Technology, White, 1-Pack. It looks to be similar in style to the Insteon Dual Band 2457. It Z-Wave Plus so not 700 series as yet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7NPRSB/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?th=1 https://www.leviton.com/en/products/DZPD3-2BW

@MrBillWhen logged in to PG3 version numbers are displayed. What is meant by Frontend Version?

Was that tongue in cheek or could that be a reality? I always wondered why UDI never produced any Insteon Devices besides a controller.

I’ve posted this elsewhere, the top of my Polisy just now measures 114°F. It feels comfortably warm. If it feels hot, hot then something is seriously wrong. I wonder if your power puck is outputting the wrong voltage. Does it feel hot?

Z-wave USB?

Where are you at in the Polisy life cycle. Is this the first time, out of the box or did you have it fully configured or somewhere in between?

Well anyway. I'm a mess this morning. The Ministon is Version 2 by their spec. https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/4137?selectedFrequencyId=2 Edit: I have to be more careful reading part numbers. That link is for a switch MP21ZS and not the dimmer MP21ZD. I don't see the dimmer on the Alliance website. Did a search there and it doesn't show up.

Thought so by the image. I guess I got turned around. Did a search in Amazon for the IQ Smart Dimmer and the Minoston MP231ZD came up.

I did not know that. Thanks for the correction. That's even better.

No not 700. Looks like it's Plus version 2. I may try these myself, way cheaper than Insteon. I can't really tell how big they are. Does it block the 2nd outlet on a receptacle?

@TJF1960 I checked with a sample program and I'm finding the same thing. The program continues to run without waiting for the Query to finish.

What are you using for leak sensors?

Keep in mind about Kasa that is mentioned in NS Readme that the connection to Kasa by the NS could break at anytime. It isn’t really supported by Kasa. This Node server relies on a mostly undocumented and unofficially supported local API which of course TP-Link could break at any time, and has in the past, but luckily others figure it out.

@Geddyis it really cloud based? Kasa doesn’t require an internet connection just your local WiFi network. Right?

Are they insteon devices? Just enter their address code manually into ISY.

I'm looking at moving from Insteon to Z-Wave or ZigBee and probably get the Hubitat Elevation controller. Polisy IoP is tested with z-wave ZooZ 700 controller stick so that is a safe way to go if you like z-wave. I guess it depends on how big your system is and what you need to do with it. For me it's mainly another hobby to play with, although the convivence of home automation is great.

So for Smart Bulbs I'm using Philips Hue. I bought a Philips Hue Bridge to control the bulbs. But you can also use the Hue Node Server or ISY Network Resources. Currently I'm just using Network Resources to turn Hue scenes on and off. For me, the colored smart bulbs are mainly just for accent lighting. Any real light control done thru ISY, keypads or switches I prefer normal incandescent or LED bulbs.

So I have ISY Launcher (Finder) shortcut on my Desktop. You run the Launcher and then choose Admin Console (LAN) and the AC opens up looking just like it did before. Also, the Polyglot Node Servers (PG3) Interface is accessed thru your Web Browser. You'll also need an ISY Portal Account and that is also accessed thru the Web Browser.

@Michel KohanimSo I'm just wondering, in IoP are the network resources going to stay "inline" or will you change it to how the ISY performed?

The links between the switch and the PLM are working, i.e. if you took away the ISY those operations would still work? It's just the operations where the ISY has to interpret. Maybe something like the ISY Link table or some other information the ISY is responsible for that came over from the restore.

I assume when you moved over to the IoP you did a restore from the 994i backup, maybe something went amiss during that operation. As a test, what I would try next is to de-link and delete one of your 2477D switches and then reinstall it creating all the links anew.

@apostolakislOkay I see. So, the program is working for me and the IoP is correctly showing the status for whatever I do locally at the paddle and the switch is a 2477D. This is what we called in Aerospace manufacturing a CND. Can Not Duplicate. They are always the hardest troubleshoots and nothing gets shipped until it's resolved for the root cause. If there's anything else you'd like me to check you can PM me and I'll take a look.

So your fans had RF remotes that the Bond could learn or already knew about? I'm this close to buying the Bond but I've only got 1 fan out of 5 that have a remote. This remote is RF and I don't expect Bond to have a problem with it. The other fans are really not important to be smart. I'm really curious about Bond being able to learn IR remotes for other devices like floor fans and portable air conditioners. I have one each in my bedroom so if Bond can learn their remotes and has an IR blaster in it I should be able to install it in that room. The RF fan is in the main Great Room so it would reach there as well.

Do you have any fans that you would recommend?
