I wasn't referring to the hub pro since UDI can't support something that doesn't actually exist and would depend on insteon actually making it and releasing. The Nokia hub was looked at as an option but Michel stated that was a no go due to the terms. From the ops post, he was referring to the 2245. Regardless of hub- Michel has already stated no new insteon support will be forthcoming without full insteon development support so it's still the same end result.

It's not compatible with the Isy. It has been stated that UDI will not support this without full cooperation from insteon which so far they are not willing to do

What are you talking about? The information you've provided is completely false and without merit. It sounds more like you're trolling than actually posting true information. UDI has a constant presence on their own forums as well as their website. In fact Michel was on here earlier today.

You may be better served by contacting universal devices directly on their website. They would know about their shipping times better than forum members

Smarthome was purchased by someone else which may be why it's not back online

Regardless, it's still a huge fire risk. Outdoor outlets are not as controlled the way indoor outlets can be. Even indoors, it's still a huge risk with an embedded dimmable device where no one would know its there in addition to no safety controls in place for accidently use. There are a multitude of posts on here where people have used dimmers with incompatible loads and had close calls with fires. It's the ops house so he has to make that determination whether it's worth it or not but due to location and situation, it does set him up to lose his home to a fire

The more things change the more they stay the same...

Since no one has migrated with zwave yet, I think it would be hard for anyone to answer your question with any certainty in regards to the cost of things. I would say that the more times you migrate, the greater the chance of something going wrong. If you're planning on getting eisy- wait for it and then migrate. If you're ok with sticking with polisy; get the matter board and migrate to that. While Michel has stated September being the release month, I'd assume December as a time frame due to delays and demand (no guarantee they wouldn't sell out quickly).

Yes, you can enclose it. However, the dimmer module isn't as hardy as the outdoor module. Depending on where the op lives, humidity and temp will make it a short lived install. Op also didn't have zwave and stated he has no desire to use it. For the op- I'd recommend against using any embedded dimming device in an outdoor outlet. I say this because an embedded device will make both outlets dimmable. Even still, with it being outdoors, it's too easy for someone to plug something in thats incompatible. There have been enough confirmed reports of people having fires with insteon dimmer devices and while controlling incompatible devices that the risk isn't worth it. At the end of the day, it is your house so you have to weigh the pros and cons of this approach as liability would fall on you and insurance probably wouldn't cover.

Doesn't matter. The last 3 numbers denotes 6 or 8 button. The 2334 is the same for both. 2487s replaced the 2486s and 2334s replaced the 2486d

If you notice in your link it says 2334 are dimmers

There's no confusion. The 2334s are newer. The numbers were changed to differentiate the dual band from single band models. Not all 2486s are dual band. I believe there was 1 revision that was before they changed it to 2487s

Doesn't have to say it. It's still dual band.

The 2487s replaced the 2486. The 2486 is power line only and the 2487s is dual band

Look under the nodes section

They will respond in time. No one here knows anything outside of their public updates which can be found on their website under their blogs

It will. That's why I mentioned it. You would need to add the zwave board to the Isy Your only other option based on what you stated would be eBay

If you have zwave, you can add a zwave outdoor plug-in adapter. Ditto for a motion sensor as well if you want motion control. Google zwave outdoor motion sensor and outdoor plug in module and they'll show up. If you want insteon, you'll have to go to eBay. They do not have a dimmable outdoor unit though have a dimmable receptacle (not outdoor rated) Unfortunately I'm not aware of any that are dimmable

I'd submit a ticket. I know a few people bricked their polisy units using ssh.

I used it to upgrade mine and it did it. I cleared Java afterwards and it showed properly

That i agree with. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do though I'm reserving my excitement until then. I'm hoping Lutron supports it with Ra3

I doubt that will happen. Maybe with future zwave devices but not with current stuff

You'll need to contact UDI directly. I know polisy sells quickly when it is restocked. From what I've gathered from Michel, I'd say last quarter some time this year (after September)

Personally, I'd get polisy or wait for the eisy to be released. Both will allow for greater zwave control and functionality long term. I'm regards to availability, you're better off contacting UDI directly. While they are still making 994zw devices, I highly doubt they're placing sizeable orders since the 994 is no longer their focus with their new controllers out/or coming out
