Did you upgrade your zwave usb stick

Did you try to remove first? How many button presses on the devices?

What devices are you trying to add and what process are you using

Ring does not yet exist on polisy. Most likely you will have to redo your set up

I'd try to upgrade to 4.9 since that's the latest release. There could be updates that caused things to stop

Firmware and UI of your isy

Purge and discover doesn't work?https://github.com/jimboca/udi-harmony-poly

Nodeservers are designed by different developers so what one chooses to do with theirs may not be the same way for another. I've experienced what bpwwer with my ecobee and harmony nodeservers so I get his point.

That is partially incorrect. You can trigger lights based on the status of the activity as well as the status of device states. For example, depending on the time, turning off my system will trigger my goodnight scene (room dependent). Starting different activities will set the accent lights to the correct color as well overhead lights. If I'm watching a movie and my DVR is paused (yes I still prefer hard disks), the room lights will dim on slightly and the hall lights will come on. If i trigger my movie scene, my air purifier will turn off (or simply not run). For anything else, I've found voice to be much easier than nondescript buttons The harmony buttons won't work as already stated but i never wanted to use them anyway. It's not intuitive (needing to remember buttons for something not often done) nor do guests understand how they work.

Zwave has self healing properties so routing can improve over time

You would use programs to accomplish what you want. It comes down to your imagination and what you are trying to accomplish

For that comment, I got you when it happens. ?

Thats good. Just wondering since the slowness was an issue with the older firmware. Generally, distance doesnt cause a few second delay since the signal is either getting there or not. If you're getting error codes then that would imply an issue but without that, im curious as to why its so slow as well.

Do you have the latest firmware on your USB dongle

Options! Not everyone wants to use the portal. There are those with the knowledge, skill, resources, etc. to create and manage their own certificates. For them, they want everything self enclosed. Using the portal would defeat that. For the majority of users however, the portal is a welcome expense.

How did you solve the problem for future users

Physically rewire it

Itll work since they are 2 separate systems. Long term, you're probably adding more work to yourself when it comes to completing everything.

But then people would have to read instructions ?

All great points. I like except#7. I wouldn't want it to auto login for security reasons.

I don't think it matters in regards to phasing as the first device that picks up the signal will repeat it on the power line. Using the USB stick, i expect a slower speed since the signal travels via RF to and from the first device regardless of location. I think you see the difference due to your PLM. Using the USB, I think you'll notice the overall change in speed but the difference between phases will be less.

What Nodeserver? There's a lot of different ones

With the current Nodeserver using an deprecated API, I'd rather wait for one that supports hue's newest API and the features that it has

They're the same process. You just choose programs instead of scenes. On runs the then and off runs the or else

no. theyre the same. just different connectors
