Never mind. I got it. I was using the wrong device (RINCON). Thanks.

Would it be possible to shoot me a screenshot or something of your NR? I'm not getting anywhere with this. Just errors.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

After much head scratching I finally figure out that Line-in can be made a Sonos Favorite. So I did that. Somehow persuaded the ST-Sonos plugin to update it's list of Favorites to show the newly added Line-in Favorite. I set up a Program so the Action portion would Set the Sonos Connect device to the Line-in Favorite... I even added Play command too... and... big fat nothing burger. To verify, I selected a different Favorite to test, and that worked. But it won't switch over to Line-in with the Favorite that is Line-in.

I know support for this plugin is spotty since Simplextech abandoned it and us... Is there a way to control line-in? I'm just not seeing it.

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.

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

Same here. I have to remember to restart my plugins whenever the power goes out and resumes.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

Before the Virtual plugin came along I was doing this with an unused keypad. This gave me 8 virtual switches in one physical device.

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.
