Thanks @tmorse305 I had not seen that post

My understanding: PGC --> Cloud based polisy, a few Nodeservers here that dont / cant exist on local Polisy. Less NS than on PG2. I use the Ring NS from here. PG2 --> Local polisy through the blue Polisy unit. Store offers more NS than PGC, but a few, like the ring, aren't able to be local. PG3 --> ??? Purpose? will PGC and PG2 be migrated to PG3? Will I need to install it on my Blue Polisy? Must have missed something here. Any further explanations, plans would be helpful. Thanks!

UPDATE: Never mind.. walked away after this post and it dawned on me what is happening. When the Node server updates the day (And 'ISY Time Data' Date < 10) in the above program, at midnight, it re-evalutes the if and therefore it becomes true for 5 minutes...until 12:05 am.. will simply change that to 11:55pm or create an Integer value for it. LOL...

Have a simple program to turn on outside and multiple inside xmas light decorations. Often if I go to bed before the program turns them off, I will have ask Alexa to turn them off, which works fine. But then at midnight, they come back on. I have checked using find/replace in programs for any other links to these devices and there are none. I have two other programs, that are related, but one only runs at startup to re-initialize the variable, the second changes the variable w/o any If or calls for it. Any ideas? Xmas lights Program - [ID 00D3][Parent 0013] If $Xmas_Lights is 1 And ( From Sunset - 1 hour To 12:05:00AM (next day) Or From 6:30:00AM To Sunrise + 1 hour (same day) ) And ( 'ISY Time Data' Month is December Or 'ISY Time Data' Month is January Or 'ISY Time Data' Month is February Or ( 'ISY Time Data' Month is March And 'ISY Time Data' Date < 10 ) ) Then Set 'Xmas Lights' On Set 'Kasa Controller / Plug 1' On Set 'Kasa Controller / Plug 2' On Set 'Kasa Controller / Plug 3' On Set 'Z-1 On-Off Power Switch' On Else Set 'Xmas Lights' Off Set 'Kasa Controller / Plug 1' Off Set 'Kasa Controller / Plug 2' Off Set 'Kasa Controller / Plug 3' Off Set 'Z-1 On-Off Power Switch' Off

UPDATE: Re-added port forwarding for my camera back to 8008 and ISY on Polisy works as expected! Now have both ISY and ISY on Polisy showing up in finder w/o prompting!

UPDATE --> PROBLEM SOLVED BY @Michel Kohanim as usual! Problem: I was using SSL (https vs http). Once I added that to my isy finder, backup ran w/o errors, in about 10 minutes. Thanks for everyone's input.

@Geddy Yes interesting that at this site, https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Errors_And_Error_Messages -17001 isn't listed as an error. Just ran the back up again. took just under 50 minutes. Error log stops at time of initiation of backup, with nothing after it, although I had dozens of socket errors. Will wait for ticket response, but need to get this nailed down before any thoughts of moving to isy on polisy. thanks

@Geddy Yes I have the ISY Inventory NS. I have opened a ticket. Just tried to run it again and it just crashed saying it could not create the zip file. No firewall, No VPN.. This is a new error. Will run it again to see what happens when it completes. Wow. looking at my error log, I am getting a few errors every second. But nothing in regards to this attempted backup. Will try it again. 1930230434_ISYErrorLog_v5.3.3__Wed2022_01_0510_43_05AM.txt

Is there any configuration needs once I attach the Zooz ZST10 to the Polisy? If I have to rebuild my zwave network, I assume I have to rebuild all programs and scenes that have any zwave devices in them too? UPDATE: found this in first post regarding configuration of z-wave, but still wondering about second question. How to use Z-Wave: - Plugin your Zooz Stick in one of the USB ports on ISY - Go to Admin Console | Configuration, check Z-Wave Support checkbox. Save and then click on the Reboot button - From that point, Z-Wave works as it does on the ISY-994 with the following exceptions --- Backup/Restore of the Z-Wave dongle is not yet available --- Z-Wave | Z-Wave Version is likely to be blank - Note: for now, S2 is not yet supported

@carealtor yes I understand 8080.. that is what I said. I originally had a typo in my post, so am not sure if you saw that or didnt read it closely enough. Either way, I notice earlier in this thread and elsewhere that people are having problems with other devices on port 8008, such as the Hue Emulator. I noticed that I too had something on that port and when I eliminated it, all worked fine. Why is this happening? I dont know. thanks, and yes I usually have to add my WAN settings to the finder each time I want to use it remotely.

Thank you @kzboray for the excellent directions on how to update my Polisy. It took quite a while but seemed to run as expected. For Mac users: you dont need puTTy as you can just use Terminal However, I still cant get the polisy to show in the ISY Finder. My polisy is at https://192.168.68.76:449. I have tried to use that to get to the ISY. I have also tried https://192.168.68.76:8443/desc and http://192.168.68.76:8080/desc, neither have worked. I have a video system that is on port 8008, is that the problem? I am not sure if I can change it but will try that next. Any suggestions? Below is my system info. Have checked for updates. None available after using the ssh updates. thanks. UPDATE: I have port forwarding on my router for port 8008 to my camera system. Once I deleted that, I had no problem finding the ISY on the Polisy at :8443 Now need to see if I can change the camera system, but need to boot up an old windows PC which can take hours. lol.

5.3.3 both

@Geddy yes. thanks. I have seen that thread before too, and hence my gyrations around my switch / router, trying to eliminate it. I will double check any firewall software and see if that changes things as well. ISY is fairly old, PLM has been replaced probably with in the last 2-3 years. Plan to do a restore to the PLM sometime, but have to face the bullet of dealing with all my battery operated devices when I do it, so trying to eliminate other things first. Will probably open a ticket at some point. thanks.

Not true. This Nodeserver is extremely powerful. You can have all kinds of notifications. Please read the README and feel free to reach out. @Jimbo did a great job with this NS. See a few screenshots of notifications I get.

Thanks.. I had already done that a while ago. These errors are not new. I also get them when I am just using the admin console and making changes to scene settings etc. I will change to 1024 to see if that does anything

When doing backups, I get a series of the following two errors, throughout the process: Socket Open Failed java.net.socketTimoutException Socket Open Failed Java.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host terminated the handshake Backups continue and complete. Are they good backups? and what else can I try to do to eliminate these errors with the following information / constraints of my system; Firmware 5.3.3, matching UI Mac with all backups to be stored on the Mac Have tried using the Admin Console both LAN and Cloud Wireless base unit only has two inputs; currently one for the WAN, the other various attempts shown below (TP-Link Deco Mesh) Elapsed time can take between 20 and 40 minutes to complete Home Network setup and variations I have tried as I assume this is where the problem lies?: Mac connected wirelessly to my LAN with the ISY connected to a large switch and then back to my wireless router (standard setup) Mac connected via ethernet to my ethernet switch with ISY connected to same switch Mac connected wirelessly to my LAN with ISY connected via ethernet cable to the same wireless router Disconnect wifi from router, plug both the Mac an ISY into the router. ISY Finder locates ISY but stays red when I click on it w/o giving any options for Admin Same as above, but have my Mac also using my phone as a hotspot in case wifi is needed, same result. Isy shows up but stays red. Appears that the router wont work properly w/o internet Internet to router, router with short run to a small 5 port switch, with Mac and ISY attached. Mac and ISY connected via wire to a second Deco Mesh unit which is wireless 5 ft from main wifi base Is there a way to directly connect my Mac to the ISY and find it? Is there something else that is causing the problem? Maybe I need to pick up a cheap router for just backing up? Thanks.

@Techman I am pushing just under 900 links in my PLM. In 2017, Chris Jahn wrote the following post where he says: QUESTIONS: If I do the restore w/o the factory reset of the PLM, per Chris's directions, will I: -reclaim unused links? -need to re-establish my battery operated devices? Thanks

Thanks for this. I use ML and have also been having problems, exactly as described here, but only about 50% of the time. Will hope it gets fixed soon.

YES!! Get a Polisy. Look through the store lists for applicable third party interfaces. This is the easiest way. Devices will show up in your Tree as nodes. GREATEST innovation yet by Universal Devices and all the programmers who write the node-servers. @Michel Kohanim Search the forum for more info. For example, I run my ecobee thermostat, Russound sound system, Swimming pool, Kasa lights, Hue lights, etc. all integrated.

Similar efforts here. To keep things more obvious, I add the letters LD, for Leave Disabled, at the end of each program name that should be disabled. Also have a startup program that manually disables them all at startup. By using the LD, I can find them all quickly and check them etc. This is the program. ....The trick is to keep it up to date!

same here as Goose and Carealtor

@Michel KohanimAll my Nodeservers stopped working. When I went to the store, all polyglots are showing as "Install", versus Uninstall, or update for the 12 I have running. Rebooted Polisy. Restarted Polyglots. No change. The log was empty. All node servers showed connected and running, but none of them were reporting live information; information was 11 day old for all cases. Finally went and unplugged it, waited, replugged it in. All node servers running properly now. Log filled up quickly with many pages of proper start up info, however, FYI, at the end, there is a series of errors that seem to be related to the reboot. Log attached for your info. Cheers.

Have recently upgraded to 5.3.3. Zwave issue with the my three Yale YRD120 locks continue to exist exactly as @thecourciere states above. -No update of status. -Also lost "control" options in IF statements. Only can monitor status. This is a real problem. Have tons of programs that monitor lock status, controls and users. Controls are out. Have added Queries after each ISY change of lock position, but dont think its going to work as I have it currently. Disappointing. Is there a fix coming for this? Or is this a limitation that will never be solved>? Thanks

@drinkwater I have simliar programs in most of the rooms where I have sensors turning on lights. however I shorten the disable time to the minimum time it takes to leave the space, ie a small powder room is 5 seconds, another room I use 10 seconds etc. This way the motion detector can do its job again right away. This manually initiated disabling of the MS is needed for guests who dont know that the lights will turn off by themselves, so they always want to manually turn them off as they leave a room. Overall this combination of two programs has always worked well.

Same here.
