Hello! running 5.3.0. When I log in to the admin Console I get error "maximum subscribers reached" Then I get a window with title 'initializing" that shows "starting subscription" This loading never finishes. Also my instance of mobi linc pro on my iPhone keeps saying "Mobilinc disconnected. Attempting to reconnect to ISY" I am also running: - polisy box also looks to be working - HA. Which looks to be working . Anyone ever seen this/ know a fix?

Got a voltage meter. There are two motors. One is 3/4HP the other is 1HP. They are both 240v 20 amp. The First 3/4HP motor is the main pool circulator. The second 1HP motor is the booster for the polaris pool cleaner. There is a timer that controls both. Then additionally, the Polaris has an manual on off switch. There also looks to be a low voltage wire that goes from the timer to the pool heater which runs on oil. I am by no means an electrician. So, looking at the suggestions, I assume I will need to remove all that is here and employ three insteon on off switches that will control relays for each of the three devices. Would definitely need a really nice outdoor project box for this. Would be great to have a separate compartment for the on off switches so that there is no exposure to the other wires.

I think you make a really good point. I should probably just run it for a set time after the lights turn off an be done with it....or just cap the program at 10 minutes of runtime... Either way, it was fun to write the program.

We have two switches in our bathroom. One for lights one for exhaust fan. When the light is turned on, the fan turns on. I would like to keep track of how long the light is on so that when the light is turned off, the fan stays on for the same amount of time the lights were on with a minimum of a 5 min on time. Here is my code so far. Curious if there was a better cleaner way to do this. fan on via human - [ID 006B][Parent 006C] If '2 / M.Bath / TopHatsMain' is switched On Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatsMain' is switched Fast On Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatsSink' is switched On Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatsSink' is switched Fast On Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatShower' is switched On Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatShower' is switched Fast On Then Set '2 / M.Bath / Fan' On Stop program 'fan timer run' Run Program 'fan 5min primer' (If) Run Program 'fan timer add' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') fan off via human - [ID 006E][Parent 006C] If '2 / M.Bath / TopHatsMain' is switched Off Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatsMain' is switched Fast Off Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatsSink' is switched Off Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatsSink' is switched Fast Off Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatShower' is switched Off Or '2 / M.Bath / TopHatShower' is switched Fast Off Then Stop program 'fan timer add' Run Program 'fan timer run' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') fan 5min primer - [ID 0070][Parent 006C] If $M.Bath_Exhaust_Fan_Timer < 5 Then $M.Bath_Exhaust_Fan_Timer = 5 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') fan timer add - [ID 006D][Parent 006C] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 1 minute $M.Bath_Exhaust_Fan_Timer += 1 Run Program 'fan timer add' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') fan timer run - [ID 006F][Parent 006C] If $M.Bath_Exhaust_Fan_Timer > 0 Then $M.Bath_Exhaust_Fan_Timer -= 1 Wait 1 minute Run Program 'fan timer run' (If) Else Set '2 / M.Bath / Fan' Off

How will this respond to the door opened then closed then opened then closed again 30 sec later? Will the light turn off 1 minute after the first closure or the second?

I currently have a scene with a light and door sensor. The light turns on and off instantaneously when the door is opened and closed. I want to adjust this logic so the light will remains on for 5 minutes after the door closes. The only way I can figure to do this is to remove the light and door sensor from the scene and create program that when the door is open turn on the light then another for when the door is closed, wait 5 minutes then turn off the light. What is fear is that the program will delay the how quickly the light turns on. I really cannot have a delay to the on function. Is there some other way to achieve this?

Yes, this is what I experienced using a scene. To achieve the desired functionality a program will be best.

Not a problem at all. Was just curios. When possible, I prefer to have the devices talk to each other than rely on ISY.

We have a room switch and closet switch: If the room switch and closet switches are both on and the room switch is turned off, we want the closet light to also turn off. We want no other interplay. I did it via program but there is a delay and would prefer to do this via a scene if possible. Making a scene with the closet light set to 0% does not seem to do the trick. As there is unwanted consequence where if the room is off and the closet is on, turning the room on shuts off the closet

We have these two outdoor plugs. One has a switch controlling it for the Polaris pool jet booster cleaner. The other has a mechanical timer for the pool circulator system. Will there be any Insteon or other hardware with which I can control these very large appliances.? Additionally there is an oil heater that has a knob to turn it on to a variable level and off. Not sure what I could do there.

After trying all sorts of bulbs, I stuck to incandescent in our bedside lamps for this very reason. It’s so much nicer and more subtle when we turn them on in the middle of the night. So, I’m excited to give these Phillips a go.

Phillips warm glow it is! Wish I had asked sooner. Spent lots of time buying and returning bulbs.

It seems like most of these options (other than Phillips warm glow....thank you for the bulb tip!!!) would be leaving Insteon. I was going to install insteon dimmers but can’t see the point if I’m going to remove the existing led recessed lights and move to a hue system. Wouldn’t I want a different dimmer switch. Not sure how the two marry together.

Can anyone suggest a great brand of top hat lights that dim nicely with Insteon. I find the ramp rate on the ones we have now frustrating. There is a delay then a slight slight flicker then they ramp. I am looking for an experience closer to incandescent. Also, a suggestion on bulbs would be great. (Do WiFi bulbs have a better ramp rate when controlled by their own controller ie Phillips hue?)

Is there any way to grammatically get a 2474DWH to act as an On Off Switch so that it can control and exhaust fan?

For those of us migrating from an existing Polygot, would you suggest doing a backup of the existing first. Removing from the network. Then installing Polysis then restore?

I had the same thing. I guess the shipping notification emails are not setup to include the tracking number. Go on to to the universal devices website and log in to your account. Click on 'my orders' then the 'eye' icon next to your order that inlcudes the POLISY. You should see an popup with you order info including a tracking number.

This is the method I used with the switches linked via ISY. It seemed confusing at first but the logic holds. The switching is no slower (to the human perception) than a regular 3-way switch. As others have stated, keep everything in your ISY. ISY writes the links to each device for you. You could program through your ISY then remove it and the link will still work.

So many glorious data points!

I had a feeling this would be the case. Will review their form but probably get lazy and just go the nodeserver route!

Please elaborate on the options for integration. I see a Polyglot Node Server in the Node Server Store. Might that be a good option? Just ordered the hub and some sensors. They look excellent.

Does this help you? or do you need something more step-by-step? I can try to write it up after my experience. Also see the Backup section of polyglot gitHub page https://github.com/UniversalDevicesInc/polyglot-v2/blob/master/README.md

Why not program a timer for each closet light? My thinking as follows: Someone turns on a closet light, start the timer for 15 min. Turn off the light when the time expires.

Ok, so basically, I had not used my ISY in a long time and forgot to set the levels at each controller in a scene. I thought the scenes levels defined each controller in the scene's levels (very silly mistake). Also, I didn't logically appreciate this idea. This means, I had multiple scenes for things that should have been in a single scene. ie. ceiling light on/off fucntion being controlled by a remotelinc in non-toggle 8 button mode. One button for on one & button for off. = one scene for on & one scene for off. This logic is bad. I have since adjusted to One scene with both buttons and their responded levels being set inside the scene.
