HomeAssistant VM Gone after 6.0.0?
Kudos to those of you who were braver than me. When this functionality was first talked about awhile back, I was all excited and planning on also moving my Home Assistant to my eISY. Ultimately I chickened out and bought another Quieter Mini PC instead to install Home Assistant. Issues like the one in this post were exactly my fear and why I chickened out.

What is current status of Matter devices?
SmartWings has a motor that is "Matter over Ethernet"... would that not be a third? Not arguing! I just want to be knowledgeable.

Polyglots not working after power failure
Same here. I have to remember to restart my plugins whenever the power goes out and resumes.

SmartWings Shades Matter Over Ethernet and PoE
In my case, "easy" has nothing to do with it. Installing shades or anything else in my home comes down to doing it the way I want it, regardless of how "easy" it is. My wife says I'm "stubborn". 🤔 Are you talking about swapping out the shades down the road with another brand/vendor? I don't see the problem. Obviously any battery powered shades could be installed. And as far as the hardwire, the cat5e cabling could easily be used to supply 12V, or whatever, if desired.

SmartWings Shades Matter Over Ethernet and PoE
Has anyone else seen the new SmartWings motors that are Matter Over Ethernet and PoE? Is eisy's Matter going to be able to control these? I was just about to start running 16/2 to a few of my windows. Even bought a 500ft roll of cable and a power supply. Then I ran across the announcement from SmartWings. This will probably change all of my plans.

Rack Mount?
Eisy is a MeLE Quieter3Q Mini PC. You might find something searching for that.

I added memory, but now want to remove.
I added memory to my eisy per this article: https://developer.isy.io/blog/NVMe/ I did so in anticipation of adding a VM with Home Assistant per this article: https://developer.isy.io/blog/Home Assistant I added the memory, but I did not install the VM. I went a different direction and now I would like to remove the memory from the eisy to use somewhere else. Do I just pull the memory stick out and that's it? Or do I need to enter some commands in terminal first?

No way to detect/trigger on scene events in IoX?
IMHO, a Scene should be Executed (turned "on" if you will) and nothing else... Launching a macro, as @Guy Lavoie said. Controlling a bunch of things together (on, off, dim, etc) is a Group. The beautiful thing about IoX is that you can do both/either with the Scene functionality. It's up to us how we use it.

No way to detect/trigger on scene events in IoX?
Before the Virtual plugin came along I was doing this with an unused keypad. This gave me 8 virtual switches in one physical device.

POLISY = EISY?
2 reasons I moved from Polisy to eisy 1. Smaller package. Space is at a premium in my SMC and I can get the eisy in it with a half width bracket instead of a full width bracket. 2. You can put VMs on it like Home Assistant. Can't do this with Polisy.

IOLinc Query returns incorrect status.
As suggested, I switched the reed switch to NO and unchecked Trigger Reverse. All seems good now. It still leaves 3 mysteries: - Why did this never show up for me as an issue when using Polisy? - Why does Home Assistant show the State correctly? - Why has Insteon never fixed this? I'm not expecting any answers here. Just wondering. Thanks!

IOLinc Query returns incorrect status.
@IndyMike Thanks for the workaround and the link. Are you of the opinion that a new IOLinc has fixed this issue? I still think there is more to this problem. The State for this Entity in Home Assistant is ALWAYS correct, even when the Admin Console shows it wrong.

IOLinc Query returns incorrect status.
1. Yes 2. I think NC, but not sure how that is relevant?

IOLinc Query returns incorrect status.
I just tested this extensively with another/spare IOLinc that I have in my stash. Exactly the same incorrect behavior.

IOLinc Query returns incorrect status.
I believe this to be an issue with eisy as I did not have this issue with Polisy. I have an IOLinc 2450 that I use the sensor side to tell me if a garage door is open or closed. I do not use the relay side for anything. If I operate the garage door, and thus cycle the sensor, the Admin Console will show the status correctly. BUT, if I run a Query, the status will always come back reversed to the actual status. In the options for this IOLinc, I have selected Trigger Reverse. This is part of puzzle if anyone is trying to replicate this. With Trigger Reverse unchecked the inconsistency does not occur. What is also interesting is that Home Assistant is always showing the correct status. So, HA will correctly show the door position, while at the same moment in time (after a Query), the Admin Console will show it incorrectly. My guess is this is some kind of glitch with the Query of an IOLinc where it is not taking into account the Trigger Reverse option? This would normally not be much of an issue as I don't make it a habit of doing a Query on this IOLinc (or any other device for that matter). But I do need to occasionally reboot IoX, which Queries all devices.
