Yes

Judging by the name, I'd say S. America. With the additional details in regards to insteon help, possibly Brazil

Not necessarily. You can end up being stuck with what they want you to have vs whats actually possible

It's sound advice but 18" may be a bit much. Even with wifi routers, they say your device shouldn't be too close. @MrBillresponse hit the head squarely on the nail

If anything, I can see it stifle innovation. Why work to build a unique ecosystem when someone can just let Google, Amazon, and Crapple do the work

You can check on their forum. They haven't announced anything to my knowledge but matter isn't on my roadmap right now

You can purchase a zooz zwave stick and use that along with the simplicity studio PC controller software to update your devices. Buy the zooz USB stick from UDI since they said those who purchase it from them will get a full credit towards their new board. That way, once you buy your polisy, you'll already be ready with your other pieces

Keep in mind that having a repeater too close is just as bad as having one too far. There's a chance it may not even be used for repeating. If it is, you can also potentially be wasting a hop. For example, one of my outlets is a couple of feet from my controller. It's not a repeater to any of my devices. It's not a problem since it was out there for other purposes but just using that to show being close isn't a catch all

Nokia does not own insteon patents. Smartlabs owns the patents. The Nokia name was only licensed for their new product line. Michel has already stated he's bound by a NDA so he wouldn't be able to name any other companies and none has spoken up so anything in the future would be up to them and unknown to anyone outside the winnimg bidder. Yes, insteon will continue to be supported by polisy. It already supports it so i highly doubt UDI would make an about face and remove it after investing so much time and effort to add it. 5-10 years from now as the landscape changes, who's to say

I dont know if its been removed but x10 shows up in the program list like it does with the isy. I dont use x10 so I cant text. I think the module wasnt ported over so you cant give it a name like the before. You can always try it and see what happens.

Insteon doesn't have anything to do with zwave. Zwave direct association does not work in that manner so what insteon does/did would have no bearing.

That's not the popcorn effect. Has nothing to do with repeaters. It's the fact that each device responds 1 at a time vs simultaneously like insteon. For example, add 10 relays to a scene and each will turn off individually. Do the same with insteon and you'll hear a single click in unison.

That would be device specific when it comes to zwave. You need to check the online manual for your device and see what the parameters are and then set them

Firmware and UI of your Isy

Most likely it's closer to the 981 (if not more).

Michel has stated zwave will be handled differently with polisy. Not sure if the new updates will make it's way down to the Isy. Another user stated earlier he found similar behavior using it with homeseer

I know xking stated at one point that he didnt have any plans on adding sensor support to the Node server. No one has commented on previous posts in regards to V2 of the hue API. They may be waiting until it's finalized before doing something with it.

That's the latest and only version for the isy

I believe that information is in the full owners manual found online.

You can have issues running both depending on system since all devices communicate with each other regardless of where the signal comes from. This can lead to collisions and delays since you'll have 2 separate controllers. With that said, if you know what you're doing and plan accordingly, it's possible with minimal interference. Since you're running both, no it doesn't matter in regards to PLM. Personally, I'd use the PLM with polisy that i plan on using long term just to avoid having to do another swap later.

Make sure that the device itself (outside the scene) is set to 2 seconds. Then double check that you did update it for the controller and scene attributes. Post a screen shot of each as well

What does the event viewer (set to level 3) show when you press off

You're welcome. Thats a common theme on here! ?
