Thanks i didn't do any further testing because it was hard crashing the ISY and it was taking too long to recover. I just did the pita gmail procedure to disallow insecure apps.

I think some ISY libraries are out of date because Polisy does work properly with Outlook.com. Have we hit the end of updates for the ISY?

Thanks for my post, the point was the Outlook.com settings actually crash the ISY, like a full hard reboot and it didn't come back. A full power down was required to get the ISY to boot. I did replicate the problem several times. I did not pursue it any further and went thru Gmail process as noted. I use Gmail now with less secure apps off.

I reported this a few months ago but got no response. I ended up going through Google's process for less secure apps.

I found a handy slick little Windows program when I was setting up Home Assistant called Linknet that I used to reset my Insteon USB stick. You can use it to look at current links if any in the stick or PLM and there are other features as well. https://insteonsoftware.com

Or are updates continuing to be released and I'm just missing them? Thanks!

I tested my 2413U for quite a while on Polisy and it's fine, zero problems. I recently switched testing to a Insteon USB stick 2448A7 also on Polisy and it's fine as well. Most of my testing lately is with the Insteon Hub and HA with the Insteon Integration for my vacation condo, works perfectly. I was able to completely replicate my Hub's automations in HA.

Excellent thanks!

Interesting, I'd like to add a specific weather service to my automations which isn't possible using the ISY as no Poly is available. I can easily add the service to HA but do you think it's possible to feed the ISY weather data from HA by setting ISY variables?

So you can buy them at discounted prices?

Thanks, can the ISY access sensor information from Ring for example?

I'm curious to know what functionality do I gain by linking HA to an ISY?

X10 support is available too under advanced. There are several display bugs so beware.

HA dropped another update this morning. Seems all the endpoint device settings are available eg. ramp rate, brightness, etc. I haven't tested them yet. You're right, they're moving fast.

I’m using Home Assistant with my GEN2 Hub and was able to duplicate the automations. Use google for more information.

HA released an update for May 2022 that was oriented somewhat to help Insteon users. It even has the If-Then structure and other interface enhancements. It's worth the update.

I'm using Home Assistant with the V2 hub and I'm able to reproduce the automations I had in the Hub. It's a small setup...

I expected that was you're endpoint. I need a vpn for other services so I just use it. Do you know what the Node Server listing is for in Portal? Maybe that was a place holder for access.

@kzboray I just use portal Polisy like I do for the ISY. Or are you referring to Polisy/Polyglot? In that case I use a vpn.

@MrBill it is pretty easy to add back devices, go to HA Developer Tools / Services / Insteon: Add all Link (search for it) and use Group 0 and IM Mode "Controller" button. Do the usual factory reset on the Insteon device then go into linking mode and click Call Service. You'll hear the usual Insteon beep confirming the link and if not do it again. As mentioned, HA is working on an update for Insteon so maybe the process will change. Going into Dev Tools to link seems kind of weird.

@MrBill from experience setting up the devices with a factory reset Hub was a piece of cake and no more difficult than setting up devices for the first on an ISY. But I agree several of my friends who did not factory reset said their devices just popped up automatically when HA does the Insteon scan. What I'm not understanding is what happens to schedules and other device specific settings if you don't factory reset?

@CPrince my hub is a replacement from Smarthome for a burnt out hub so it's also factory reset and no devices. I use the Hub with a RPi4. The HA/Insteon integration is limited but the basics are there. I understand given all the Insteon users looking for a solutions HA is doing more work on their integration and should have something in the next couple of weeks. "Limited" for example no ramp rates for dimmer modules but it does brightness. Anyway my condo has Insteon door sensors, plugin modules and wall switches and they seem to work perfectly with the hub. HA has a cloud based remote access solution as well. PS I suggested to UD that given Polisy in still in development, they could make a driver like HA but UD said the Hub is limited in some ways so it would be a lot of work.

@CPrince they work really well with Home Assistant and others... I used my formerly useless Hub to reprovision my condo's automations using HA.

You expressed my exact feelings.

@jkraus good work! Next step, https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Amazon_Echo_Integration_V3 So you can talk to your ISY ?
