I've been using the Venstar T7900 for years with no issues. It has built in wi-fi and API. Here's the link: https://developer.venstar.com/documentation/

Just did some research. The one-story Industrial property Smarthome / Smartlabs was located in at 16541 Millikan Ave, was sold to developers for $21,000,000 in December 2018. At that same time the developer got approval to demolish the property and replace it with a large multi story residential complex. Not sure if Smarthome was a just tenant or had an equity interest in the property. But it seems the writing on the wall several years ago. Maybe it's time to reach out to them and try to make a deal on the PLM chip. Any idea how much time remains on their patent?

Looks like their whole operation may be shut down. All the 3rd party products they sold on the Smarthome website are either "out of stock" or they refer you to Amazon. I wonder what will become of the Insteon patent. Being that they pretty much ran the company into the ground I would assume its value is minimal. It's certainly a sad state of affairs.

Sure seems that way. I think Michel mentioned a while back that they were trying to sell the Company. Does anyone with installer or developer access to Smartlabs have any updates?

I just tried calling the local phone number listed for the app developer, seems to be disconnected. Their 800 number has a recording saying to email them. I guess everything hit the fan this month.

Here's something interesting. Smartlabs released an app on the Apple store, updated February 2022, to control the (currently unavailable) Nokia product line. Go figure that one out. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nokia-smart-lighting/id1540152104

The Nokia products are still showing online, with a "mail me when available" https://nokia.smartlabsinc.com/collections/all

Not only is the forum offline but the local phone numbers for both Smartlabs and Smarthome are no longer working. The Smarthome 800 number tells you to contact them via email. Over the last few weeks I've sent them several emails and never received a response. Has anyone received an email response from them?

If you currently have Z-wave then another option is a Z-wave enabled smoke detector. First Alert Z-Wave Smoke Detector & Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Works with Ring Alarm, 2nd Generation - - Amazon.com

Re: Zwave native links Shouldn't these links, for the Aeotec Multisensor 6, appear as controllers rather than responders?

Try doing a factory reset on the Polisy. Make sure you PLM is not plugged in and that your ethernet cable is plugged into the RJ45 port closest to the DB9 connector with the other end plugged into your router. Using the end of a paperclip push it into the hole on the right front of the Polisy and follow the directions below. You'll need a DB9 to ethernet cable in order to interface the PLM with the Polisy. One came with you PLM, if you don't have it then you can buy one on Amazon Factory Reset Press and hold the button till all LEDs start blinking then release. This action resets the credentials, removes all configurations from Polyglot/Polisy, and resets networking.

I'm not familiar with the MS II but is there an option to adjust the voltage that triggers the low battery notification? I use the older motion sensors and the low battery notification has never worked. I wrote a program that monitors the dusk / dawn signal, when that doesn't report I know it's time to replace the battery

Take a look at this troubleshooting tip: INSTEON Random All On Events - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki (universal-devices.com)

I use the Somfy shades with the Zwave Somfy interface, It works flawlessly with the ISY. Somfy has both hardwired and rechargeable battery options

Your migration shouldn't be an issue. Make sure you have an ISY backup before you migrate. You can always add Zwave to the Polisy later, it's just a matter of buying the Zooz 700 Zwave dongle and plugging it into the USB port

The Polisy requires that you have a PLM if you're using Insteon. There is currently no migration option for Z-wave, so you would have to start from scratch. You should first update your ISY firmware to 5.016C. Read the update notes as you'll most likely have to rebuild some programs and scenes. Your current Z-wave system is irrelevant as you'll need a Zooz 700 series dongle for your Polisy Once you've got a stable ISY then you can migrate to the Polisy. The link below should provide answers to any questions you may have. https://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/164-polisy/

The Z-wave migration option from the ISY to Polisy is not yet available, so you'll have to manually build your Z-wave network from scratch on the Polisy.

After the update did you clear your java cache and its applications, and then download the ISY Launcher?

Take a look at these threads:

Increasing the hold time should correct the program not running.

You're correct. Are you using Momentary or Latching in your I/O Linc to trigger your program? If you're using momentary then the Momentary hold time may be too short to trigger the program. Another possibility is that the wires going into the I/O Linc are not making a good contact, try tightening the screws.

Being that the processor and memory in the Polisy is much faster than the ISY, try increasing your wait times and/or adding waits to see if that makes a difference.

Take a look at this thread Don't use auto discover when you link it. Try putting in its address.

Yes, but being that's it's RF only you should have a dual band device close by to insure that the signal gets onto the powerline. I don't think you can do a ISY migration to the 24487A which means that you will have to build you system from scratch so I would focus on trying to clear up the PLM issue first.

Your link count is too low for the number of devices, especially if you have keypads with numerous nodes. It's possible that your restore file had issues. Did you do an ISY backup before you migrated over to the Polisy Try removing power from the PLM and Polisy, then power up the PLM wait about 30 seconds then power up the Polisy.
