for Polisy https://polisy.local:8443/WEB/sysconfig.txt

My POLISY upgrade to 3.2.8 completed without a hitch. The OS was also upgraded to 13.2 from 13.1 and ISY to 5.7.0_1 from 5.7.0. There could have been more changes but the layout of sysyconfig.txt also changed so it's a little difficult to compare the before and after. https://polisy.local:8443/WEB/sysconfig.txt I have all my ISY programs disabled anyway so I can't say if they were affected. Also, not using any Node Servers so I see no problems there.

Ah … The good old days. UDI is missing the boat by not continuing to produce the ISY. It’s the only solution when using Insteon.

I switched over to Home Assistant and only use Polisy for the Insteon hub. No ISY programs or Polyglot, doing it all from HA and lovin' it. Just started using ESPHome with HA and it's amazing, built 2 ESP32 WiFi remote devices so far. Z-wave is awful compared to Insteon although there's more variety especially if you need power monitoring. I'm in a 4500 sqft home with just around 50 Insteon devices. Sometimes you must resist the temptation to automate something even though you can, keep life simple.

Please explain what you mean by this. I don't believe I've ever encountered it before.

I’m impressed but how can you possibly have that many programs?

Before I run Upgrade Packages for this PG3x release I was wondering the status of the Polisy OS 13.02 upgrade. When I select the Upgrade button I get this warning.

// use this to get the version numbers of all the code https://192.168.1.180:8443/WEB/sysconfig.txt use your ip address.

Yes, just saying it wasn't upgraded.

My Polisy 5.7.0 upgrade was successful and Insteon control is operational. I don't have any ISY Programs, PG3 Node Servers or Z-Wave devices. Looks like OS wasn't upgraded.

My awning is a newer model Somfy motor that has an rf remote and 'Im using an ESP32 microcontroller with it that interfaces with Home Assistant. I know that's not your situation but. I do have an open/close sensor on the awning, so I know when it's open or closed. You could do that much with Insteon too. I use that in a script so when the wind exceeds 15mph and the awning is open it sends a close command. Comes in handy with all the winds here in New Mexico. Also, when you get the controller figured out, measure the time to open and close and you can use those values in a script as well to partially open and close the awning at different times of the day. Just some ideas. @Techman gave you some good pointers when using a IOLinc.

That works except it's not UDX but isy isy-5.6.4_8 ISY Port to X (IoX)

okay. I have a Polisy.

I upgraded but I can't find the version out that many digits. All I see is 5.6.4 via the AC, PG3 or the ISY Portal.

I upgraded Polisy with the Zmatter internal module and would not do it again. I was using the Zooz 700 USB dongle at the time and so went through the migration process during the time it was initially released. I was unhappy with all the migration issues to the point where I installed Home Assistant with my Zooz dongle and now run all ZWave there. I love Home Assistant and using Polisy only as a Insteon controller interfaced to Home Assistant. I'm not running any Polisy node servers as everything I need is in HA. For the short time I ran ZWave from Polisy with the ZMatter module I didn't notice any increase in range or communication. At this point I'd be satisfied just to have the old ISY 994i back and the money I spent on Polisy and ZMatter.

Is this the support forum for 5.6.4?

What values are displayed when you expand the dropdown next to the on button in the lower right corner of that screen?

My history is empty. I'm just using Alexa to mute the TV volume through a Home Assistant script and none of that activity is showing up.

Yeah, but does it dim? If it were a dimmer, then it'd be exciting for me.

Thanks. The power down fixed it. I guess reboot isn't the same as a power cycle.

I don't use any node servers, but I try to keep PG3x up to date. I did the 3.1.3.6 update the other day and everything went fine. Today it's not letting me login, I'm getting a 408 Request Timeout error. I did a reboot but I'm getting the same thing. What can I try to troubleshoot?

Thanks for the cool link! I’m replacing a gas furnace and your discussion is fueling my analysis. I’m cooling with a swamp cooler which is great on days below 15% humidity. Albuquerque NM

github is a tuff place. Populated by Developers for Developers that don't want to hear from customer's/consumer's requests or ideas. Basically, it's a bad idea unless it's theirs. Just my opinion, as I was a developer myself in an earlier life.

I tried Remove From Zigbee Network but it's not removing it. Looks like UDI Z-Wave all over again with a very unstable beginning.
