The hidden door sensor is definitely disco'd. They may end up discontinuing the plug ins depending on how things go but for now there's an expectation that they will return

While some of their business decisions seem questionable and give me pause with them myself, there's still life in the company. For starters, their business isn't just insteon. They have smarthome sales as well so it's not like insteon is their sole source of income. Historically, both sides have ebbed and flowed propping up the other during lean times. The next thing is they have a new product line coming out. If they were going under i don't see the point in them working on the new line. Even if the plug in modules do get disco'd, they still have outlets that could be used in its place. Sure it's easy to plug something in, but if you can change a switch, a person can swap an outlet. Hell it looks better anyway. Truth be told, many companies are in the same boat as insteon. Since most on her only deal specifically with insteon, the light shines brighter. However, for those that deal with other stuff, they see the impact on things. As a beta tester for a few, i know which products should have been released to the public already but have not. While cities and states across America are opening up, there's still a pandemic going on which is still effecting everything we've grown accustomed to

Depends on which mobilinc version you're asking about. Mobilinc X is the new version which going forward is the supported version

The plms are still supported. They even have a new version in the works. With the current chip shortage, they have out making them on hold to focus on their primary devices. At this time, there is no timetable for their return. It may be possible to rebuild your PLM. There's a thread on here that discusses how.

I wouldn't feel gypped if I were you. While I base my installs on what I can do today, I still keep an eye towards the future. Even if it's just a 1 room/situation install where I could potentially use a lesser system, I would still use the isy pro with zwave (keeping the discussion with insteon). Why? You never know what someone will want to add. Today they just want their Christmas lights or outside lights being controlled. Tomorrow, they the bedroom and living room. I'd rather have the infrastructure in place than nickel and dime someone trying to get extra stuff going for them. The same applies for Polisy. I don't need wifi. With Polisy being plugged into my network, it'll discover other devices on my network anyway. Sure, it would be nice to move it around to different locations (i think you can do that already), but it's easier and cheaper to buy a few more devices to get better range than try and find the ideal spot. THe same applies to Bluetooth. What would you realistically use it for? Yes, there are some use cases today but is it needed that much right now that it hurts not having it? In the future, that may change. I'd rather have the pro now and not use those features than get the cheaper version only to find i need to buy more parts to be able to use something later

This is what I'm looking forward to

Unfortunately no. The 2422-222 has a PLM built in and can be used separate from the insteon hub app. Not sure if the isy was ever updated to take advantage of that. I know the houselinc software could. Just don't know if UDI ever did anything with it. @Michel Kohanimwould be able to answer that if he knows anything about that capability

If you knew the company it wouldn't be strange. Even when support was based out of Irvine, there was still limited communication between the powers that be and those on the phone. Most information was found via relationships between co-workers than direct communication like it should've been.

Being in stock is an indication of sales (or lack thereof). Not them being produced while the 2413s isn't

That's not the case

The problem with the USB version is that it's the same as the serial version. Just a different connector. Once 2413u is gone it's gone

It will along with the rest of the devices. Just don't know a release date yet

Its nothing directed personally towards UDI since the Isy isn't the only game in town. This would effect anything that requires a PLM. While the PLM isn't completely disco'd, being on hold the way it is comes from certain people making short term decisions assuming loyalty and the insteon brand goes farther than it really does. I don't think they've looked at the bigger picture. Whole their new line will be out soon, existing users won't flock to it due to mistrust in regards to long term support. Those looking to grow their systems will do the same. They fail to realize the space they're operating in is like a road to nowhere.... At some point, you'll get to the end. To many cheaper products already fill that road. Their system is a stepping stone that allows you to grow into something much more capable. Anything else, it's just an overpriced remote for lights. Hopefully they'll realize soon enough and produce more or at least release the new PLM before things get dicey. If it gets that far, i guess if have to get in the bandwagon myself and talk about how doomed they are

The network heal wasnt and isn't the best way to manage a network which is part of the reason zwave alliance removed it. Since zwave is self healing, your devices will do it themselves. Its better to update a single problem device vs all together. Using update neighbors on a device that has problems communicating will update the path for that device.

I don't upgrade firmware once added to the Isy so I can't say for certain what would happen with devices in secure mode (I suspect the encryption will cause issues). Generally however, your other controller should be made a secondary controller in the Isy, and control moved over to that. Update, then moved back to Isy. @Michel Kohanimshould be able to confirm if this is still the case.

Zwave assigns numbers as devices are added. Unfortunately there's nothing the isy can do about it. You can synchronize your nodes, which will open that slot for the future. However, zwave will still start with the next number available. If it's that important, you'll have to factory reset the board and start clean

Non secure is faster since encryption isn't involved

I'm surprised you were able to download to 4.9 with 500 series as it's not supported in that version. Other people who has made that mistake lost all zwave connection. That may be why you're having issues with 4.9 and the 500 series board

You can't have 2 controllers. You'll have to choose 1. Documentation for your lock can be found on schlage's website.

Are you sure it's not the device? Its did come from ebay

OTA is not available at this time

Guaranteed to fully complete or not at all. In essence, if your if statement changes during the wait, it will not complete. If things remain the same, it will. Using my living room lights for example, depending on how bright or dark the room is, they'll turn on/off automatically during the day if occupied. The program is written: if LR lights are off and it's too dark then wait 10 minutes and turn lights on (paraphrasing). The opposite will turn the lights off. What happens is if it stays dark long enough the lights will turn on. A passing cloud may make it dark temporarily but due to the wait (unless it hangs around), the lights do not turn on. The same with the off. If the lights are on and it becomes bright (assume a stormy day) due to a short break in the storm, the lights will stay on. That's an example of atomic. It'll either complete or it wont

No, that's not possible. It is low and not odds. There's pros and cons to both protocols. This is one of zwave's cons and one of the many reasons why I wouldn't use zwave for lighting

Depends on the device mfg. Some only allow 4. Also know that devices activated via association will not update their status in the Isy
