Again, good luck. If there is something I, and it sounds like a lot of others, can do, let us know.

I use and enjoy my ISY devices every day. I think that Michel would be a great steward of Insteon/Smarthome assets going forward. Your experience and commitment to Insteon is unparalleled. Can we help? Some random thoughts: Kickstarter as a source of funding. My personal Kickstarter successes have been with existing companies looking to grow – a la Universal Devices and Insteon. I’d put my money behind Michel. Public Relations Campaign. Help educate Insteon/Smarthome sellers/creditors that Universal Devices is a great fit and would potentially offer bigger returns than any other suitor. Universal Devices has experience in the home automation space, already has a loyal user base and the capacity to accommodate new customers and grow the brand. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Who should I contact? This is a turning point for Insteon. I’m pulling for you Michel and wish you luck. What can we do to help?

Not saying this is your problem, but UNIFI has a history of DHCP issues/slow to hand out. I have not noticed on my setup but, I rarely reboot Polisy and then check to see status.

Working for me Polisy/ISY 2448A7 RF only dongle gets repeated by powerline/rf devices in insteon mesh

insteon 2448A7 usb stick for me

Not sure what’s happening with your WiFi. But- i am running Unifi with multiple APs. See several identical SSIDs in Polisy. Chose one at random, entered password and logged in fine. Ifconfig shows two Ips for Polisy, one for Ethernet, one for WiFi. Does your WiFi password have strange characters in it? I am out of ideas.

Polisy with 2448A7 works so far. Caveat - only one test insteon device (outdoor switch dongle) linked so far. But it works at over 100 feet. And in parallel, with no discernible conflicts with my existing, separate isy 994 with serial plm and multiple insteon devices.

RF interference be damned. I have both a Zooz z wave dongle and an insteon 2448A7 usb stick jammed into my Polisy. Neither feels warm to the touch. dmesg shows them both.

Thread Hijack: Pet peeve: URL to product without product name or description While poster is no doubt, trying to be helpful, there are inherent problems. A year from now, someone may have the same problem - click on the link and get 404. Useful information has been lost. What was it? What solved the problem? Product name and/or description is helpful Rant: URL for un-named product in post above lead to Amazon CANADA (USA's northern friend) site. I unfortunately used my phone to view, and was prompted to set my amazon app to Canada. Hours later, it took me more than five minutes of searching in the app, to reset to my home USA for search results. My OCD is showing

and polisy supports the usb stick 2448A7 avoid those pesky electrolytic capacitors

Email/SMTP now working (after upgrading to latest version) Thank you

Additional information. Updated to 5.0.4.x (updated via ssh but admin console only shows 5.0.4 with no further decimal version information) SMTP Test error message now also says "Could not open config file to read [./FILES/CONFI/UXT.BIN]

Hi, I use and enjoy my ISY every day. Can't seem to get emails from ISY on Polisy to work. v 5.0.4 Configuration tab, Emails/Notifications Settings/Group - tried to use/copy settings that work on my ISY 994i add to Groups Default/Name Recipients (regular email) myname@gmail.com and save SMTP settings - use default and save Test - Mail server failure SMTP_ERRORS -- 1 (the above settings work with my ISY 994i) Tried it twice - of note after SMTP failure message myname@gmail.com is erased from Recipients and Default has blank Recipients. Tried multiple times to make sure I had saved settings. No email ever sent/received SMTP error --1 recipients list cleared/erased after SMTP test no matter how many saves of SMTP settings or Groups saves Setting shown/used above are the same as working settings on my ISY 994i on same network/internet connection. Suggestions?

Hi, I use and enjoy my ISY everyday. FYI - In theory ... You can purchase on the isy portal https://my.isy.io/index.htm Then go to AC for ISY in polisy and select config tab, then portal tab, click the auth. Then ISY will re-boot and the selected ISY will show green in the portal. Looks like its working for most. However, some users, me included have experienced a few bugs. Registration on Portal seems stuck. Michel/Universal Devices, seems to be aware and working on it. [admin@polisy ~]$ sudo service isy restart Stopping isy. 15 1 0xffffffff81d63000 8320 uftdi.ko uftdi.ko is already loaded Starting isy. [admin@polisy ~]$ Admin console opens great on lan and cloud. But I have lost the portal tab. Gui and ISY both report v5.0.3

ISY on Polisy Version Naming Since ISY 99x and Polisy/ISY are now on series 5.x. There might be confusion as to which is which software version. How bout a "P" prefix or "P" suffix for Polisy/ISY versions P5.x or 5.xP for Polisy/ISY?

Hi, I use and enjoy my ISY every day. Can't get my ISY/Polisy to fully register on Portal. Portal shows yellow light on ISY/Polisy UUID and complains about Access denied Pending approval by owner. I have ISY 994i/IR PRO 5.3.3 (Admin/Console/Help/About) and ISY/Polisy 5.0.2 (Admin/Console/Help/About) running on the same local network/Internet/firewall connection. my.isy.io shows ISY 994i/IR PRO 5.3.3 version 5.3.3 and is attached/green with info popup, online since current date/time (refreshable) in the portal. ISY/Polisy shows as VERSION 1.2.0 (NOT 5.0.2) and yellow and with info popup, online since current date/time (refreshable) BUT Pending approval by Owner. Tried going to ISY/Polisy "Portal Tab" to give permission - tab does not exist (another user reported same missing Portal tab). ISY 994i/IR PRO has portal tab showing registered online. I can't seem to find where to grant permission to register my ISY/Polisy on portal. Some other observations/information. Originally tried to register ISY/Polisy when it was running V 1.2.0 - never had any more success Removed re-added ISY/Polisy UUID from portal with no improvement Using ISY Finder I am MUST use Admin Console (Cloud) to access ISY/Polisy, Admin Console (LAN) always hangs. Another user reported same hang on lan access. I MUST use https 8443 to access Polisy http 8080 FAILS with no connection. ISY/Polisy shows "location unknown" and both sunrise sunset 12:00 AM I reported now FIXED, prior issue with multiple ISY/Polisy DNS requests to my.isy.io Cold boot ISY/Polisy has not positive effect Suggestions?

Thread Drift Redux. Add forum search capabilities to topics discussed in this thread. I think ISY makes good products with great support. I hope they can reduce my forum frustration. Maybe a new “social media” hire. Right after they buy/take over Smarthome.

Thread Drift! PLM, Fixing PLMs, ISY alpha on Polisy, nodeservers etc Lots of useful information being buried/lost. Potential fix: New and better labels for forum sections POLISY Polisy Nodeserver (get rid of Geek Batch) ISY on Polisy

I would like to vote for continued "network module" support in polisy. Don't want to depend on/be required to have node server to do some direct ip html command. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. A suggestion - Polisy should be respectful of the network whether it is successful or not in connecting. Use a fallback mode, for example: Try to connect every second for 1 minute Try to connect every minute for 5 minutes Try to connect every 10 minutes for an hour Try to connect every hour for as long as polisy is booted. After 1 hour - send an email alert to the administrator that connection is unsuccesfull.

I use and enjoy my ISY every day. However, polisy is acting rudely on my network. Thousands of DNS queries to my.isy.io, proxy.isy.io, proxy2.isy.io. Yesterday ran pkg update upgrade. Today my pihole reports 51K queries to my.isy.io from my polisy box. seems like every 2 seconds 2021-07-06 17:55:40 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.2ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:37 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.2ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:36 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.1ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:35 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.2ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:33 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.2ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:32 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.3ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:30 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.3ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:28 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.2ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:21 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.2ms) 2021-07-06 17:55:21 A my.isy.io 192.168.1.194 OK (cached) IP (0.2ms) Cold rebooted polisy. Still multiple rapid DNS queries. (my network topology has not changed) Suggestions?
