  1. What are each of the 3 LEDs used for? The right most LED is continually flashing. I think it started after I initiated a Polisy Update. It's been 20 minutes, still flashing.

    Just to clarify my position. I’m extremely happy with the Pro. I’ve had it 2 days and 5 node servers later I’m amazed. I didn’t know at the time what I needed the WiFi and Bluetooth for. But, I got the May promo discount and supersized it. Not the first time I’ve stepped up only to be prepared for future expansion. It’s just that UDI could have made that a little clearer for those of us that don’t follow UDI that closely.

    As long as I was smart I’m okay with it. Perhaps, though, to avoid confusion and in the interest of transparency, UDI could have labeled those features as “coming soon”.

    Well, I paid extra for the PRO version to get Wifi and Bluetooth. Sorta feel gypped.

    Just received my new Polisy Pro. Where do I post questions about it? I don’t see a Forum for Polisy Users, I'm not a Developer (yet?) just Polygot subjects. General questions about WiFi & Bluetooth control. How do I use these features Moving Polygot-Cloud node servers to local network? What else does this Polisy box do? Why 3 network connectors?

    True. It would be a race to retrigger before the Wait so it would probably hit during the Wait.
  9. vbPhil replied to vbPhil's topic in ISY994
    Ahh! That's good to know and easy to follow your example, thanks for that Mr. Bill. I'm assuming then, had you set $stemp_test = 0 while it was Waiting it would have jumped to the Else clause and done nothing further.
  10. vbPhil replied to vbPhil's topic in ISY994
    Thanks Mr. Bill. I had the same thought as I've used this 2 program technique before but for different reasons. What got me caught up this time was my trigger was resetting to "0" after about a minute, thus I was seeing program operation I was unfamiliar with. I think I'm getting it now. However, one more question. If a program like my example is in the Wait state and it gets triggered True again does it complete the Wait state it's currently in or will the Then clause start over again?

    Here's the Wiki's description. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Scope,_Precedence_and_Execution_Order I guess what has me wondering is what this statement means: "current atomic statement group" So what is meant by "atomic"?

    The Wiki says when a program encounters a Wait statement it rechecks the program conditions and if they are False the program ends. What about when the program is already in the Wait state and the the Conditions go False. Will the program end or stop? This is what I'm seeing so it must be so. Just wanted to confirm that is correct. If so, the Wiki could be a little more clearer about this. What I have is a program that is triggered by a State Variable changing from 0 to 1. It then turns a device on and Waits for 25 minutes, then turns the device Off. What I see is while the program is in the Wait state and the condition trigger goes False (returns to 0) the program never executes the device Off command. If $WirelessWaterSensor is 1 Then Send Notification to 'Email' content 'Swamp Tank Full' Set 'OR-Xmas_Austrian' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'OR-Xmas_Austrian' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
  13. I ended up using my laptop to copy the contents of the Old to the New microSD. That worked, but I bought a 16 GB to replace a 1 GB which was quite an overkill.
  14. What's the procedure for replacing the microSD card? Make a current backup Power OFF ISY994i Replace microSD with new one Power ON ISY994i Restore ISY994i from latest backup
  15. I do,do backups. Is the ISY compatible with the newer A2 microSD or should it be an A1 type, reference article; A2 Application Performance
  16. Yes the value was 0 at the time. Because I cycled power on the ISY my variables were re-initialized. I bumped up iDay2 just as a check and it looks to be working. <var type="1" id="6"> <init>0</init> <prec>0</prec> <val>1</val> <ts>20210503 09:06:49</ts> </var> My microSD card is the original since getting this ISY in 2013. I'll look into replacing it. -phil
  17. Thanks MrBill, you headed me in the right direction. Somehow the email was corrupted. No idea why/how that happened. I deleted the old email template and recreated a new one with a new ID and Name. Since the ID & name changed I updated the programs that were calling it. All is working good again. For a REST request I'm getting this. http://192.168.1.12/rest/vars/get/1/6 <var type="1" id="6"> <init>0</init> <prec>0</prec> <val>0</val> <ts>20210503 07:23:59</ts> </var>
  18. Firmware: lnsteon_UD994 v.5.3.0 ( 2020-10-01 -14:39:56 ) Ul : lnsteon_UD994 v.5.3.0 ( 2020-10-01 -14:39:56 ) Product: ISY 994i PRO (1100), OpenADR (21010), Z-Wave (21100) Portal Integration: UDI (21075) I email the values of substitution variables to myself daily and this has been working for years. Today, however, it stopped working. I get the email but where the variable values should be it is just blank in the email. This is how it looks in the email custom notification: iDay2 = ${var.1.6) iDay3 = ${var.1.4) iDay4 = ${var.1.5) This is all I get in the email: iDay2 = 0 I tried cycling power on the ISY but that was no help. The variables appear to working okay in programs. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this or fix it? Thanks, -phil
  19. I uninstalled Java 1.8.0_281 with Control Panel/Programs and Features then deleted C:\\Program Files(x86)\JAVA folder. Reinstalled Java 1.8.0_281 and the error message has stopped showing up. My mistake. It was gone but the error message came back again after logging in. -phil
  20. Happens with the Launcher as well. regards, -phil
  21. Great comments that have helped me immensely! I am the DIYer that installed and maintained the system so without a doubt it's all coming out. This house is in the $550K range, 2400 Sqft so Home Automation isn't expected or even found that often. Also, I can remember from other home selling that the relator never likes it when the seller talks to the buyer. It's best to remain out of the loop in most cases. So if it isn't something that can be maintained by local businesses it's best to get rid of it before hand.
  22. Should I leave my ISY 994i Pro behind when I move or take it and the controllers with me? I'll just want to replace it all when I relocate. I'm just thinking that there aren't many homebuyers that are computer literate or interested enough to harness an ISY system. The Insteon lamp modules are simple to relocate but the 15 installed wall mount SwitchLincs and the Irrigation controller are a bit more involved. One thought I had was to replace the ISY with a Insteon Hub (Insteon Central Controller Hub, Compatible with Alexa, 2245-222) hoping that it works with the SwitchLincs and Irrigation. Does anybody have experience with moving and what did you do? Thanks, -phil
  23. I started getting this error message lately after logging in to the Admin Console. Everything appears to be working okay. Any ideas as to what has happened?
