I totally believe that! ?

guess you told him

Hey I started this thread! ? I’m still tuned in! ??

his quote was taken out of context. you should’ve quoted his entire sentence. that’s why he said “while important”

are you saying there has been a recent filing in the FCC database for a new PLM?

The 2635-222 has been discontinued not backordered. That has nothing to do with low supply of chips. Amazing how you missed that. An outlet switch is one of the most basic devices for home automation. Not a good sign to discontinue that device. Unless as MrBill suggested they are coming out with a new model in which case it’s poor marketing.

I emailed smart home about the Insteon On/Off module 2635-222. The response I got is pretty concerning. I can’t believe something as basic as the plug-in on/off outlet switch has been discontinued. Anyone else hear any news about Insteon? “We had escalated the issue to our resources, and we got an update stating that On/Off Module is a discontinued product and we do not have any immediate plans to bring On/Off Module back in due to limited sales.”

Good question. I hope something more intuitive and user friendly. I only access the UI about 4 times a year. I feel like I have to learn everything all over again each time and still often have to come to the forum for advice on how to setup what seems like should be a simple program. I would have preordered Polisy if I knew it had a much better UI, but I was expecting something very similar to what we currently have.

How is geek status verified? My wife says I am. Good enough?

hmmm? like that? I thought all you needed was the name with "@" in front of it like I did the first time?

The Intro to Polisy page says Ring is supported. I don’t see a polyglot for that on the list. I need to figure out how to search for them on github. Nothing comes up searching on my phone. Will try again later at home on my laptop. Can someone give some examples what i can do by integrating Polisy and Ring to ISY and Insteon?

The Introducing Polisy page describes it, "Polisy is your plug & play polyglot." That probably says it all if you are a programmer. I'm just the average Joe User that loves home automation because it's suppose to make life easier. But I'm definitely not a programmer and like most people I want things to be simple and easy to setup. As much as I love the capabilities of my ISY, I have to scratch my head the couple times a year that I need to add a new device or create a new scene or program. I have to relearn it all over again. If you don't do it often, its not intuitive enough (for me) to just login to the GUI and just do it. So, is Polisy going to make any of that easier? And, what all can Polisy do? The Tesla example on the intro page was helpful to give me ideas. However, I won't have a Tesla in my immediate future. I do have a house full of Insteon switches, Echo devices, Ring Cameras, and Schlage Connect locks. What can Polisy do with what I have? Or, what can Polisy do with what I should buy next... short of buying a new Tesla. It seems like a long list of examples would be helpful for people to understand. I love new toys! I want excuses to buy the new Polisy!

Yep, it sounds to me like Polisy is the next gen ISY. Here is a direct quote from Michel Kohanim from the Introducing Polisy comment section, "Polisy is designed to be fully integrated with ISY (you’ll use the same interface to talk with both). Furthermore, over time, functions in ISY will be moved over to Polisy such that Polisy will become the next gen ISY."

I like the idea of being able to set up ISY to turn off my 220v electric water heaters and my 220v water well pump in the event that moisture is detected on my mechanical room floor. I see the Insteon 2477SA is discontinued? Anyone know why? I guess there are a few still for sale out there. I also discovered this product: https://innovativehomesys.com/collections/b-wired-in-devices/products/heavy-duty-208-240v-load-controller?variant=8125838196856 which appears to be third party load controller that they modified by installing an Insteon switch. They also make one with an Insteon outlet. What do you guy think about the product I linked? Do you have any other/better ideas for turning off an electric water heater and well water pump remotely and with the use of an Insteon water sensor switch?
