I just started the migration from ISY to Polisy, using the steps from the thread - Migration to ISY on Polisy: An attempt to collect, organize and share Simplified Directions. Couple of questions 1. Is that the best place / instructions to follow? 2. i see a number of threads warning not to SSH into the Polisy and see this step. Is this correct or should I do this some other way? Add Polyglot 3 (PG3) to Polisy. PG3 is the future development site for node servers. Support for PG2 appears to be ending as developers look to move to PG3. To install PG3 on Polisy, create a SSH and enter the following: sudo pkg install pg3 sudo service pg3 enable sudo service pg3 start 3. Assuming its correct - when I SSH in using Putty, the IP from the IOX finder for Polisy, and port 22 and try to login (password has no special characters), my login fails. Suggestions? thank you

Thank you for testing. It let me know that my logic was right. With some more experimenting it looks like the ISY was losing the status which caused the problem so I added a stop and play before each volume and it worked! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@carealtor restartingthe nodeserver partially helps. I can now stop/start, but then I'lll loose the status. Also, I don't seem to be able to change the volume. Here is a screenshot for a couple of those

I confirmed there is a song and it works if I select the play command directly in the ISY or ud mobile It doesn’t work when I try and play in the ISY program In the polisy I only see one Sonos polyglot option. Are there others? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know this should be easy, but for some reason its not working. I can control the sonos (play, pause, volume, etc) on UD mobile and directly in the ADMIN dashboard. However, when I try to link the node to a program it doesn't work. I've tried both pressing the keypad button and running IF THEN...and nothing works. Any suggestions?

Will do thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had Sonos and Harmony Hub polygots that showed up in the ISY when I first installed. I made changes to each of these on the apps (outside of isy/polisy) and polisy did not update. when I tried querying the polygots in the ISY interfacce I got the message request failed. I deleted both on the POlisy the ISY still has both showing up I reinstalled the Sonos and in the polisy it shows the correct nodes (one question does it only show S2, as I have S2 and S1, and am not seeing S1 nodes). Still in the ISY it shows the old Nodes, and Harmony is also there. I've rebooted the polygots, polisy and isy with no change. Suggestions?

Yes that is exactly what I’m thinking about. Also agree can make it work with current functionality . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It would be amazing if ud mobile allowed the devs of node servers to create a module for ud mobile I’d be the first in line! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Can ud mobile show an elk M1 display. It would be fantastic to show the basic buttons on the elk keypad. Similarly would like to do the same for the tv remote (eg harmony remote) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

#1 - no zwave #2 - Harmony hub is in slot 4. #3 - ticket submitted

iOS. Lots of sync errors (attached) That said I just needed to update to get it working. any view on the errors or if they matter?

This is helpful is there an isy/polisy—> Rts option. No somfy hub?

I thought the somfy hub was needed to connect to the ISY if not that is even better

I’m thinking that I’ll wait for the next version of tomaha to come out instead of MyLink as I understand that is the somfy go forward platform id certainly be willing to pay when the store is available. No idea what pricing is going to be for different offerings

Is there a polyglot to connect to MyLink I’m hoping there is enough people that use somfy for someone to develop this (if it doesn’t already exist). my alternative is Lutron with a ra2 controller. Is there integration for this?

Michel One other item that will help get developers excited is an existing Consumer base That means making sure all existing users have an easy path to adoption...selling a rPi preinstalled plus a couple of node servers should generate revenue and accelerate adoption

builderb - larryllix describes the exact issue that I was asking about. larryllix - it sounds like there is no easy way to do this with ISY (e.g., max / min setting)...instead it would need to be programmed. How does you code work? I'm wondering if it replicates the trimming capability of the Radio RA.

Is there a way to set a minimum and maximum level for the dimming (I think its called trimming), so that there is no drop out when dimming the LED lights. I see that Radio RA has this ability and am hoping its something that folks have figured out how to implement using the ISY.

Paul - got it and thank you...now I get the plan...I think I'm going to get started on doing this in my current place while the other is being built. Teken/Scott - a lot of good information. I am already doing a sump batter backup, an NG backup generator. The hot water tank is split (?) so it operates as a boiler for the infloor heating. HVAC is lennox (with their custom thermostat, but I'm assuming I can swap it out if needed...is this a good assumption?)...I'll be doing a printout of this thread so I can walk through these items with the builder (it is custom so I do have flexibility)

Taken That is a lot of great information...I'll need to take this to the builder. I know we have some of those items already agreed to but not all. Really appreciate your input!

Paul - this makes a lot of sense...I'm going to move forward with you suggested approach. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions on the details as I move through this...but for now one simple question. I'm assuming you can have only one ISY running at a time, so to use the test ISY I take the PROD system offline upgrade the TEST ISY to v5.x...and let the TEST ISY run ,..if there are any issues you take TEST down and put PROD back up. Is that correct?

I like the idea of two ISYs. I think your "flat in the pan" comment is most applicable...as the answer might be that there isn't a better alternative. Given the commercial side is strong doesn't mean that they will have an unlimited bucket to invest on the residential side and that is the crux of my concern. I haven't seen the pathway to marketing 5.0 and polygots (although I'm sure they have one). Given the the length of time its taking (which appears to be significantly longer than anticipated) do i invest in ISY (and associated ELK, Insteon, zWave) given this risk. I'm looking at this in a similar fashion to Homeseers move from v2 to v3 (I believe that was the one that almost destroyed the company).

Hi, I'm a long term user of ISY with ELK, Insteon and zwave...and I love it. I'm now building a new house and I'm looking for anything I should change. The first question is on the ISY - this forum has been a wealth of information and help over the years - better than most other forums (especially with people from the company participating directly and very actively). That said, over the last several months activity on the forum has really slowed down (at least thas my impression) t'd that has me question if I should look for an alternative. I know there has been a lot of work on version 5.x and polygots, and i like the direction. That said, I'm concerned that this has been a more difficult/costly path than was anticipated and I'm wondering if the company has the legs to get these out the door (and if so how soon...that is a question of risk). I would really appreciate people's thoughts opinions. Cheers
