Needed toggle switches. had them in cart..poof gone.

Would you be comfortable letting me know which brand/model of wifi controller and strip you prefer?

what does that mean?

Interesting. I will grab a Zooz 12/24v RGBW controller and see how that works. Seems to be compatible with home assistant so that fits the bill!

I have one from Magnitude and one from HitLights. The look exactly the same. The Magnitude has a noticeable buzz when dimming. The HitLight does not buzz but it only dimms down to about 50% then it starts to flicker. Thought there may be something better.

Can anyone suggest a nice quality dimmable 100w 24v LED transformer that will work well with Instron dimmers like 2477D?

Sadly, I do not. I suspect as people unload their gear in favor of other offerings, I can pickup some spares. Would really have to move to RA3 after installing Insteon in my entire home a year ago.

Boy does this seem silly. A sales on basically nothing in stock.

ApplianceLinc wont power on. Anyone ever taken it apart? Any common part that seems to fail?

Its great. I took the plunge a year ago. I ditched Polisy in favor of it. I pull all my other devices in to it. So, ISY, MyQ, ecobee, anything z-wave (Z-wave just worked better for me in Home Assistant than ISY), cameras, unifi controller, logitech remotes, elk m1, an MQTT broker, rain machine, synology, shelly devices. I've got really nice dashboards made for both desktop and mobile. Lots of customization possible here. Much nicer interface than anything I found on the direct ISY side. HA seems to be the go-to these days. Lots of development. Lots of devices supported.

I think that is sage advice. but what ecosystem will exist that will be as robust as Insteon with ISY?

RA3 and home assistant maybe? There is always a place my heart for double tap on for fast on.

Gone. As are the regular dimmers...which I hadn't seen out of stock before.

That would be nice. We could have a thread about when things go in stock. I am really fed up waiting for things. Sitting here trying to decide do I buy zwave for the time being? Do I just say 'heck' and move to RA3? Its maddening.

I agree with all the sentiments. I guess I do not have a need to do scenes and automations on the fly. This was more a desire to use HAs groups (light and switch groups). Which are essentially unusable with ISY in the case I've mentioned. This seems to be the exact issue: This started because the lack of stock in Intseon products. I need a few more lamplincs but am forced to use some sonoffs.

That is what I did. But that sort of defeats the purpose of HA automations. Would be really nice to be able to add a new light to an HA automation via my phone. Rather than needing to go to my computer and create a new scene in ISY controller. This sort of indicates the HA ISY integration is an issue...

I have a simple automation to turn on four lights. These lights are all physical Insteon dimmers interfaced via ISY. I get mixed success (some stay on or off) 1) When I put all 4 in a group and trigger that 2) When I address all 4 directly in the automation I have success triggering (all off or on when expected) 3) When I go to ISY, create a scene, add all 4 to scene and address that scene in my HA automation This leads me to think HA is sending too many commands to ISY in scenario (1) and (2). Anyone have experience with this?

I need to remove Polisy from my environment. I had a few nodes setup. Can someone please offer best practice to get myself back to pre-polisy state?

My issue also seemed to be with Hue Emulator. But i really cannot pinpoint this as I removed my Polisy nodeserver from my network and moved to Home Assistant.

Thank you for these notes from the WIKI. It was none of these issues. Oddly enough my password was reset to admin/admin and the time zone was changed from New York to California.... I cannot imagine what is going on but would be happy to swap out the hardware if it is slowly dying.

can you ping it? what version are you on? I'm on 5.3.0

now its back online and odly..the login credentials were reset. the login is now admin/admin neither mobilinc nor home assistant will connect....strange

I do not have portal. I have not updated in months. I do have polisy which strangely is still sending push notifications.

My ISY can be pinged from another computer. No programs are running. Cannot connect to admin console but the ISY launcher does see the device. Double click device and it asks for login and password. Three times it does not accept the credentials. Then it does and just sits blank. Power was on / off for a bit. Then I changed the power supply. Then it was on. Unit is a couple years old. Wonder if the ISY is dead. Any advice? Have an extra ISY....trying to avoid swapping and trashing the existing cause of the amount of work.
