OK. Sorry. Very few companies make dimmer smart plugs because a lot of items that can be plugged in cant or shouldn't be dimmed. Here is a kasa product. but it's geared for outdoors. https://www.amazon.com/smart-outdoor-dimmer-plug-kasa/dp/B09DT173R1/ref=sr_1_8?crid=T5QOF8ZZSC7F&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8T5TdiAqFSXq9RW7kM33OMLnyyPciS4jBVBW4Pd8GUz68g2dKW1CVyTOBBI_82TWVtjjmTvTL5Rii908nH4O4jFzJYYTfNH5BV29Gshl5tDJ0jxghInBC1xXfYVDvSRF9LUAye4RMNf6yHRBA2ruNfyRdQjqBY8K-b67m-M27i7eE-vLzNtv3f9THlh4aAU_BlIw_RtVTo9U1jIYm_T5ax7g6KJfxvjsIZtmJ1VPiP-x0gC4o4vMUoqEAdlhP_ZStCoC0ifgd0KLcM8iAYZxhcwvN0Y7mM5cLJH62leWhu4.vtTWZxpIr7XLqc3w5qpgEpC9nxtcazlCFnotPvlnS3c&dib_tag=se&keywords=dimming%2Bwifi%2Bsmart%2Bplug&qid=1789057499&sprefix=dimming%2Bwifi%2Bsmart%2Bplu%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-8&th=1

Kasa has dimmers too https://a.co/d/0ffGSW1R

I use KASA with the KASA plug-in on the EISY.. Works very well. But have you thought about Insteon which is native to the Polisy?

For the similar reasons above, I decided to use YoLink sensors that reports BOTH to the EISY and to Alexa the temperatures. This way I can ask Alexa, what is the temperature of the lake and it will answer with "the temperature of hte lake is xx." --> natively w/o any new routines. Works will with my monitor in my Beer keg refrigerator and Hot tub as well. But by also reporting to the EISY, I can do monitoring on temps and alerts etc. Found this was the easiest way vs creating a routine for each temperature between 65 and 80 for the lake, for 28-36 for the beer and 98-103 for the hot tub YoLink products are cheap and work really really well. Integration thru a plug-in to EISY works really well too, as does its natural integration into Alexa.

Thanks. That would be a great solution. I am not familiar a mic mixer, but will look into it. However, I am unable to get the eisy to bluetooth to the Alexa, so it would have to be a hard wire, and they are two floors apart. Not sure I have a spare connection I can use yet. May have an ethernet cable that is unused that I can adapt to. Project for the next rainy day!

After more research, I see that Alexa dots can be difficult to pair with. It wants to be the source, not the speaker. It does show up though on the EISY and I can pair to it, but nothing. Trouble shooting through GROK, conclusion is: If the phone test works, the Dot can be a speaker. The eisy plugin is the weak link: it scans for simple speakers, not dual-role Echo devices, and often never exposes A2DP sink. Dot works fine as a speaker with iPhone. I am able to successfully connect eisy to a jbflip speaker, so it's clearly a handshake / understanding roles issue between the eisy and the dot. The reason I am looking to make this work is that I am trying to have the eisy make announcement or play music across my all home sound system. I currently have a dot as a source into the system, as well as the elk into the PA. Seems like I will have to stay with what I am doing today: 1) ELK announcements via EISY 2) Music as dinner via Alexa command: turn on dinner where eisy manages the lights and turning on the sound system and Alexa turns on the music selection and sends it to the dot feeding hte sound system.

Cant seem to get any of the built in sounds to play. Am on all the latest packages. Any advice?

@Javi just bumping this issue again as its been a while and it still is a problem.. thanks!

if the main icon is showing green running then the word running to the right should be green as well to match that the Then is running. Red for else.

Having two partitions is part of the new design if I understood it correctly, providing a way back in the event of a bad update? As I continue to prove out the new 14.4 system, I will soon delete the original 14.3 inactive boot... thanks and great improvements!

With the New UI, there are two screens that show memory related information. Can someone explain what they mean as they dont seem to be consistent with each other? The boot environment says the current version is using 12.6G of memory. Memory usage says that 7.4 of 7.7. is being used --> I assume this is RAM? But then it says storage is only 5.9 gb... The unused boot (not shown is 5.3 gb)... is this the storage? Then where is the 12.6? Thanks,

I blew up the screen shot to be able to see what the icons are... still am not sure how to read them. First line: Green lines, I assume means idle true. But what does the green running guy mean? Second line: Large green running man I assumes running true, then why is the word "Running" in red? shouldn't it be green? then the Red circle with crossout I assume means disabled, again, what about the small running man in green? what does it mean? Third line: Red lines I assume means idle false, circle disabled, and again what is the small running green man mean? thanks...

I am finding hte red on black is very hard to see or read... are these programs disabled? hard to tell. Status? hard to tell. I have no idea what the red mark is by the icon in the front of the programs --> Temp Sensor Conv as an example. Also cant really read the Running in red. and why red when its running a true? Am wondering if different color schemes could be put on the options list? @Javi

thanks @Javi !!

I often like to expand all my programs or nodes across my whole system to then check things like "enabled" or not, or "run at startup", or status of a node. This feature is no longer available and was a key part of managing a large complex system via the AC. Time and hassle to manage my system just increased dramatically.
