I'm saying there are a variety of chips out there and the shortage has caused issues for a wide range products period. Its no single chip or company.

I know they have alot which is why it's crazy for someone to make the claim that was made. I guess in Canada they dont have modern cars ?

Its always fun with @Teken

It doesn't fit in with the Isy and Polisy. The Isy doesn't support Homekit and in regards to future support, I wouldn't count on it in the near future (if ever). There is a way you can integrate the Isy with Homekit but you would need to do the work to get things running.

The instructions and what you need comes in the box with the Isy. If you Google ISY wiki you'll find what you're looking for. The 2413s is out of stock and will be for quite some time

You can't! It requires 2413s

It probably will but that's not saying much. X10 will outlive them all. ?

I prefer zwave sensors over insteon but that's about it. Zwave sucks for lighting but what bothers me may be ok with you. Zwave direct communication is limited to 4 devices. However, with an isy scene, you can add any number of devices. The downside to this is every device will turn off 1 at a time unlike insteon (popcorn effect and my biggest gripe). There are other issues but as I said before, what bothers me may not bother you. You're showing 14 devices due to the extra nodes that zwave creates for your devices. That's normal. I wouldn't worry about it. I am surprised you were able to cover things with just 3 devices. Since you're planning on adding more, you'll be fine long term. The downside with a small number is that should anything change or interfere, you could potentially have issues

Theoretically you could have none or you could have a bunch. It all depends on how often your programs are triggering in regards to insteon. If the devices you're using with the second controller are triggered infrequently you will be ok. The more familiar you are with your systems the easier things are to manage and compare for should you have problems If your devices are constantly triggered somehow, then likelihood of a collision goes up. Since you say it's only a couple of devices, I doubt you'll have much issues. i say go for it. There's only 1 way to find out

Where did you read that at? In the very beginning of 5.3 (in bold red letters) it says you need the 500 board which is what you have

Something smells fishy

At this time, you'll have to set up port forwarding to access it https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/30848-polisy-remote-access-options/

At this time polisy is in alpha testing for insteon only. No zwave yet so you are left with using the isy. You could wait until it supports zwave and then start building out your system. That way you won't have a leftover Isy once everything is complete.

None.of them are dual band so its possible the access point being dead (the light could just be out as well) is causing issues. However, if everything works from the console i doubt that's your issue. With everything being extremely old power line only devices, I expect some issues....especially if you're using led, CFL, or florescent lights. If the PLM was the culprit, I would expect your issues to be more widespread. The same with the access point. If that was the issue, I would expect more communication issues with devices on the opposite leg.

Long term Polisy would be an all in one box for Isy and polyglot. At some point in the near future support for Rpi will no longer be available. You will need to have Polisy to run local nodeservers

Does your regular programs run and devices update their status properly? If so, it's not your PLM. Do you have dual band devices or older power line only devices such as the 2476 devices

If he has zwave then it's definitely the 300 board

Ever since they sub contacted their support it's gone downhill tremendously. I feel bad for anyone that has to talk to them.

They make simple devices without slot of options which is why it's like that. They aren't trying to do anything fancy like fibaro or aeotech which also shows in their price point.

You said it's disco'd in their store. Meaning, they are no longer going to be carrying it. They are no longer making anymore plms for the time being but they are not disco'd. There will also be a new version released along with new products but i do not have a date for those at this time. I've attached a list of products they will continue to make and those that are currently on hold until further notice

For the 1000th time, smarthome is not abandoning anyone. We are currently In a situation worldwide where it's hard for many companies to get the silicon chips needed to run their devices (partly why cars lots are low to empty when it comes to new cars). Insteon has decided to focus on specific core devices at this time vs making their full product line and having nothing to sell. If you're going to need a Plm right now, then it wouldn't be wise to split your system as you will be left without one for a while. Either until the new PLM is released or they start making more of the old. I don't have any information on dates so I suspect it'll be a while.

You should post them here just in case someone else falls victim to this device....oops I meant; decides to use this device.
