Since the official release shows up in the isy, I'm assuming users will still have to go through the migration process. If this is so, it might be good to have a warning or link to the forum about the process pop up prior to updating so that non forum users know what they will need to do once they update to avoid any surprises.

I can imagine. Zwave is painful for users so I can see it being much worse on your end

What Asbril said.....you'll need Polisy in the future anyway for the nodeserver store

To be honest I don't remember exactly where. It's been years since I used 4.0. Right click on your scene or controller. It's somewhere in there

That depends on what firmware you're on. 4.0 there's a copy button in 5.0 there is none.

Congratulations!!!?

If you're replacing the kpl with a new one you would do a swap https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing_a_Device

Nice article. Makes things look pretty locked down (which is good in a sense).

Is there an API for Yonomi? If so, maybe there can be a way via a nodeserver talking through them.

It doesn't hurt though I don't think it would change anything in the near future. They know and understand automation which is why they have devices for it). However, someone chose to make this closed off for now.

Since it works with the magic home app it might. You would need to use the magic home nodeserver

Maybe that difference is why it doesn't work for you. We never change speeds so it being a switch works for me

I use both Google home and Alexa in my house. Both are set up exactly the same way. I do control my lights with programs. I don't know if that makes a difference or not

This is how mine is set up

I use programs for my assistant control. I only control 1 light in a room which is the main light. I turn on the light I use mostly and the off turn off whatever is on. For example, in the kitchen, I use my can lights mostly. Saying turn the lights on will turn them on. If I say turn off the lights it will turn off whatever is on. It could be the sink lights, island lights, breakfast nook etc. Doesn't matter. It'll turn off. The same applies for any room. In Alexa, it's named Light. The same applies for fan. Every room is labeled as fan. I do have the exact room as secondary phrases but the main name is fan. This is for each and every room. Each speaker is in its individual room along with each device. With this setup I have not had any issues with turning something on or off

I did a few posts above. i'll add that each speaker is located in the individual rooms as well

It works with both. I have it working with fans and lights for each room. Regardless of room, I simply say turn on the lights (or fan) and it does it for that room only

I would work with Wes at mobilinc to try and fix the problem vs putting a band-aid on something that could potentially cause more problems than it solves. If your still want to go down that path, the easiest way would be to get a cheap wifi switch AMD plug the isy into that. Then you could use their app to turn on/off

Yes, Cree still makes bulbs. They've expanded their lineup. I can't speak on Canada but HD still sells Cree in NC, Va, Fl and CA. I'd say the states but those are the only states I've bought bulbs in and saw them in stores.

I like Cree bulbs... Just not with insteon. When they work, they work really well and can hang with the best of them. However, your experience will vary. I've gotten to the point where I just want to buy a bulb and be done with it. With Cree, you have to test otherwise you can get buzzing, flickering at different points,. Etc. With the amount of warm glows I've installed (different types) I've simply not had that issue. I still test of course to avoid surprises but I am able to buy with confidence. No one beats warm glows dimming effect. All things being equal, at full brightness, Cree seems better but not so much better where it's worth the hassle. When using the 2wire with less, you will have many more performance issues. It simply wasn't designed to work with leds. While people have successfully used them with LEDs, it's something you'll definitely want to thoroughly test before investing in new bulbs

Everyone knows about nodes servers. How could anyone forget?! The op didn't ask about what 5.0 brings overall over 4. He asked specifically about the zwave updates and how it impacts insteon going forward. I tailored my answer specifically to the question that was asked.

I agree completely. I've seen where they've helped some and others it broke compatibility. I haven't seen any where they've "added" useful features

Outside of a few device additions and bugs, most of 5.0 has been about zwave overall. Until insteon releases their new line, I doubt anything (outside of bug fixes or insteon firmware updates), will actually be about Insteon directly. Since all zwave changes happen with the zwave board, if you dont have a board or zwave devices, most likely none will impact insteon

Thats what im referring too as well. As time has gone on and theyve added stuff, the more work that has needed to be done by then end user. As they go deeper into certification, this most likely will become greater as the gap widens
