Insteon Hubs on eBay going for $300 plus
@CPrince they work really well with Home Assistant and others... I used my formerly useless Hub to reprovision my condo's automations using HA.

Michel, how can we help?
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 ?

@jkraus look into UD's ISY portal, makes all of it easy.

Does UD Mobile have a pause button?
Perfect thanks!

Does UD Mobile have a pause button?
For various reasons like Insteon closing its doors, I’ve had to shutdown my Polisy while I do some testing with the Hub. My prod system is an ISY and both this device and the Polisy are loaded onto UD Mobile. While in UD Mobile to control the ISY I’m constantly prompted with an error message that UD Mobile can’t connect with Polisy which of course I know because I shut it down. Short of deleting Polisy from UD Mobile is there a way to disable or pause these messages? Thanks!

Insteon HUB (2245) cloud servers shut down
@dblee1950I have a brand new Hub V2 (factory reset) with the login info on the bottom. Enter those details into HA Insteon services to add the Insteon Modem. I setup my Hub with a Raspberry Pi4 and it works perfectly. Linking devices is similar to the Hub. As noted above a bit of reading was required and the programming logic with the gui was a little mind bending to start but in the end not too complicated. I setup HA for my condo with automation matching the Hub in just a few hours.

Insteon HUB (2245) cloud servers shut down
Thanks initially that was exactly my setup but this is working quite well and it's covering the whole house. I'm also quite familiar with RF and 900 Mhz has roughly 400 channels so I assume there is separation between them.

Something like this - Insteon on the right and z-wave on the left. They are driving a mixed automation network.

Smart to do this I think

Hub users seems to be collecting on Reddit since the Insteon forums are shutdown. There's lots of them and most posts are "I'm pissed off" and "how to make HA work with hub". I have two Hubs that are now bricks. Not happy

I'm provisioning a RPI with HA and have already tested access to the Hub by IP Port and User/PW pasted on the bottom - it works.

Well I'd estimate there are several hundred hub users looking at HA right now. I literally have never seen so much activity wrt to Insteon Hub and people looking for solutions. If the Hub buys us a few more years of Insteon why not UDI?

Insteon HUB (2245) cloud servers shut down
I suggested in another post UDI should consider building a connector like HA to the Hub PLM for Polisy. I now have two dead hubs in our Scottsdale condo and Polisy would be a nice addon.

@Michel Kohanim is there an opportunity for UDI to help Hub users by building a bridge to the Hub PLM? Home Assistant has such a connector and functionality like this in Polisy could gain UDI some new customers. It's also one more PLM option given the dismal state of availability. Fyi I have two Insteon Hubs located in my Arizona condo which are dead now and would consider another Polisy to fix my problem.

Support thread for: ISY on Polisy (IoP) v5.4.3 (April 8, 2022)
Updated via command line and everything seems fine. ISY Launcher reported I had a mismatch on the FW and UI versions which I corrected. Deleting java cache and start.jnlp fixed. UI date is fixed, my one ZW scene test was fine, Insteon and ZW device tests are fine. I haven't migrated to Polyglot V3.

Mystery X10 codes - help to find source
For me the X10s appeared in the ISY logs by hundreds at a time after I installed a new UPS. I moved the ISY from my small server room to my office and things cleared up immediately, no more X10. All the X10 records had a time/date stamp.

Zwave reverting back to “default” in scenes
I had a problem with a Zooz multi sensor device that was flipping back to default. The sensor comes set for Fahrenheit as default but in Canada we use Celsius. It was relatively simple to set the sensor to C using the Polisy parameters but the next day I would check and it had reset itself to F. I contacted Zooz and they never heard of the problem but suggested maybe a problem with the Polisy. The manual does refer to a nightly check with the controller for updates but I don’t think Polisy supports that functionality. Maybe the check in caused the reset to default? The sensor went back to the seller.

Good catch, me too.

Support thread for: ISY on Polisy (IoP) v5.4.2 (March 29, 2022)
@brians I updated to have a look, there were 12 updates for me. The update went fine and querying the Z-Wave devices seems ok and no unusual behavior. I have a Z-Wave switch and a plugin dimmer module mixed with an Insteon switch and plugin dimmer. I use the Zooz and Insteon usb controller sticks.
