I went to reboot and noticed only the power light is on, and flickering at that. With a new power supply it seems to have accepted the time zone setting, even logged in via telnet and rebooted. Hopefully it doesn't go down again 😁

I'm unable to check right now because the ISY has gone offline. However, I doubt any of this is due to a mismatch of the UI and server versions.

Also the Admin Console Java app is very slow and not responsive when I attempt multiple tasks in sequence. There is a red flag in the lower left corner when it is failing to respond.

Also in system status it shows startup time was today 10 AM, but I did not reboot it.

NTP server too, I set it to a local NTP on the LAN but it keeps reverting back to ntp.org server

Now I noticed the time zone is stuck on USA, CA Los Angeles and this causes issues with my scheduled programs. I try to set the correct timezone but it doesn't save. I tested the SD card and can read it all without any errors.

I just noticed ISY was offline from a 3rd party integration with an invalid credentials error. After some troubleshooting (because obviously this can't be a password issue) turns out the ISY reverted back to the default admin/admin user and password. What could possibly cause this? Once I login all the devices, scenes, and program appear to be working. It was working no less than 4 hours ago when outside lighting turned on.

Don't take it the wrong way, Universal Devices charges a very fair price for their product and provides very good long term support. I wouldn't expect them to just give away the software and also keep the lights on.

Yes you are correct is is Polyglot V2. I understand UDI needs to sell things to stay in business but I can't really justify another hardware appliance. Polisy is just an off the shelf PC Engines APU running FreeBSD and UDI's proprietary software (if you dig around you can actually pull the install scripts from their servers)

I'm using HA through the ISY (which I assume is essentially the same as ISY on Polisy) and it allows you to integrate all sorts of devices. I never really liked Polisy and it always breaks when I try to update to the latest version. Polisy V2 of course since it's the latest version that allows running on a virtual machine. I am not aware of any ZIgbee support even on V3.

I can either use an existing micro module that controls outdoor lighting or install a new one in an empty junction box that's a few inches away from the PLM. Upon bench testing it appears to work as intended toggling the micro module on and off. I have yet to test how well it will integrate with my scenes. Also I can't recommend the WAGO Levernut enough, especially where you have a junction box with 4-5 neutrals. No more nightmares thinking about replacing a failing Insteon device!

The one I'm looking at is Intermatic EK4236S which is line voltage. Supposed to be relay based and "compatible with LED lamps" I'm not particularly interested in making circuits or finding spare outlets to hang IOlinks (and then having to run the lv wiring) I did look into the Insteon motion sensor but it's unclear how the photocell works, if it will withstand outdoor operation, and lugging a device around to charge batteries would be annoying.

I was wondering what are your thoughts on this... If I wire a photocell to switch the sense wire on a micro module could I then capture the status of that micro module directly without having to hack around it (create programs and the like)? In other words photocell turns on (because it's dark outside) could this directly trigger the scene where the micro module is a controller?

I think the only electronic device on that circuit is a wifi... washing machine. Certainly no UPS or things of that nature.

This is the program.
