Insteon acquired and servers coming back up
It's possible that some of the data a particular node server needs is internet based, thus the connection to the internet in order for the data to stay current.

Insteon acquired and servers coming back up
Once the node server is installed on the Polisy it's linked to the Polisy UUID. The only reason I can think of for it to access the internet would be for portal access or to check for updates.

@MrBill It's time to do an experiment, disconnect your Polisy from the internet and lets see what works and what doesn't.

Insteon acquired and servers coming back up
Many of you asked about product availability. We started talking with the factories prior to acquiring Insteon to ensure we were able to obtain components and get the assembly lines ready to go as soon as possible. My confidence was high then and now that I'm in the driver's seat, we are pushing things forward. We aren't ready to share timelines yet but I will let you know as soon as we have something concrete. Those that aren't joining us on this journey, we are disappointed yet understanding given the past experiences. We wish you all the best. On behalf of the whole Insteon team we thank you for your trust in us and please let us know if we can do anything better or if you have any concerns. Best regards, Ken Fairbanks CEO, Insteon Technologies

Anyone use a light sensing device to trigger Insteon signal?
Take a look at the Aeotec multisensor 6. It's a Z-wave device if you're so equipped.

2477D for an attic fan
NO, you can't use a dimmer switch on a fan motor. You would need either the on/off module or the 2477S. It also depends on the amperage of your fan. They both support up to 15 amps

Insteon acquired and servers coming back up
Maybe they'll sell the Smarthome domain, it would give them some nice working capital Looks like the new Company is going to focus on the Insteon Hub and Insteon devices. If they decide to take that direction, I think it would be a good move. For now, they need to focus on quality not quantity.

The Smarthome web page is now gone, not sure if it's coming back. Insteon.com is still up. The name of the new company is Insteon Technologies, LLC

Restoring PLM with Polisy Pro taking forever!!!
@Michaelv The following is from the Polisy documentation. The 2412U isn't listed as supported Polisy supports the following PLMs: 2412S and 2413S through the DB9 connector on the back. 2413U and 2448A7 through the USB port on the back. If you have a 2413S (serial), you will need a cable that looks like this

@upstatemike At this point in time they have provided a direct link, so at least you know you'll be heard

Restoring PLM with Polisy Pro taking forever!!!
The 2413S has a serial interface and needs to be connected to the DB9 jack on the Polisy using the cable that was furnished with the PLM. If you don't have the cable, you can purchase one here: PLM Serial Cable - Smartenit The easy migration path would be to use your existing 2413S PLM which is already populated with your devices. Smarthome is back in business with a new owner and hopefully they will start manufacturing the PLMs again. Read the Smarthome thread for the latest updates

Polisy and I/O Linc 2450.
The power supplies from your numerous devices created noise on the powerline. It's not an uncommon occurrence. The best workaround is to use a powerline noise filter between the powerbar and the outlet. Insteon use to make one called the Filterlinc which is currently unavailable. X10pro makes one that should work @ x10pro.com

ISY994i zwave 500: NWI/NWE - not working. Does the repeater need to support NWI/NWE or is it transparent?
Here's a quote from a previous member's thread: "As an FYI - Aeotec told me that both the Range Extender 6 and 7 support NWI but neither one supports NWE. The technician couldn't tell me why but, it's good to be aware"

For me the default is ON I'm not aware of any issues with it.

ISY (IoP) not found after this morning's update
What do you mean by " not getting to the admin console"? Does the ISY launcher open? Try rebooting Polyglot Also try removing power from the Polisy then let it reboot

NWI = Network wide inclusion NWE = Network wide exclusion Most devices support NWI, I'm not aware of any that support NWE Here's a link that explains it: Adding and Removing Z-Wave Devices – Z-Wave Outlet (zwaveoutlet.com)

Zwave 700 Series Tips and tricks
Currently there is no migration option for moving Z-wave devices from the ISY to the Polisy. You'll have to exclude the devices from the ISY then include them into the Polisy However, there's the possibility that when UD releases their new internal Z-wave board later this year for the Polisy it may include a migration option from the ISY 500 dongle to the Polisy.
