The good thing is if Polisy ends up supporting Ra3 (it currently supports Ra2), you'd be able to use your existing receptacles as well which would make it a moot point

What's your UI

Unfortunately there is not. I'd start with your board. If you have the 300 board then it doesn't matter the devices. Everything will operate at 300 level. If you have the 500 board, I'd look at when you purchased your devices. Anything you bought in the last few years increases the likelihood of being zwave plus. Zwave doesn't pick and choose based on device series so any older devices will affect your system.

Then why bother asking on here instead of those sites if you're going to argue with the answer. It's already been well established as fact that zwave send signals at the lowest common denominator.

Try using Firefox

As answered many times on these forums it's No. However the amplification could potentially help your system

The portal only shows cloud based nodeservers. You have to log into polisy

Yes and no. Aeotech range extenders do amplify the signal as well so you'll get that benefit. However, it will match whatever the lowest series your devices are

Are you logging in on the portal or your polisy

PG3 is for Polisy only. It'll allow developers to charge for their work

Unfortunately that's how you update parameters

Since we don't know what the device is, we can't say if it's a bug or not. I'd remove the device and upgrade to 5.3.4 (since no one will fix an old firmware). Once upgraded, make sure you clear your Java cache and use the launcher from the 5.3.4 page. Double check to make sure that your firmware and UI matches then re-add the device.

You can always run your isy I'm tandem with polisy so that you have ir control. Harmony hub based remotes can still be easily found as well allowing you to use the Harmony nodeserver to accomplish the same thing

What is the firmware AND UI of your isy? Did you follow the steps to get it added? Click on the nodeserver in the store for directions

What model is showing in your admin console? Also what is your ISY firmware AND UI

Some can but not all. Unfortunately it depends on make, model, and firmware the switch has along with your firmware/UI... Generally devices that are capable of being scene controllers can be set up this way. Otherwise you'd need programs to link them together

Leviton has many different switch options so your models along with Isy firmware and UI would be welcomed so we could assist

Approval by the FDA has absolutely nothing to due with liability and lawsuits. If that was the case, most of all medical lawsuits wouldnt exist. The equipment used can and will become part of the case.

We can go back and forth but unless it's done (or you speak to a lawyer which I've done), it's a moot point. If you feel you're correct, why don't you pursue it? You'd make a lot of money from reselling your own design.

You're right, you're not a lawyer but do you have one on retainer? If so, you should probably ask them. Feel free to use mine if you don't know one. Her name is Faith Fox. I can dm you her info if you need it. I'm glad you bought up medical reprocessing. The key word is here "reprocessing" which is not what we were talking about. Nice try though. 2 completely different situations and subjects. Had you or upstate said refurbish old units to resell, I'd completely agree.but you didn't. His idea was to build new ones and use old chips from bad units. It is completely legal to refurbish equipment. However, where it crosses the line is them taking those same parts, making their own chassis and rebranding it. That would then become illegal and subject them to lawsuits. While I may not be an Electronics design engineer, I was an O.R nurse in my younger years and my wife is a physician. In addition, a friend of mine owns a company that does exactly as you say. His company is called US Medical Systems based out of Ft. Mill, SC. US healthcare having alot of money isn't why reselling doesn't happen more often here. Hospitals and doctors offices are like any other business in that they generally look for the cheapest cost like any other business (unless a physician or surgeon wants something specific... especially surgeons). It's the legalities associated with refurbished equipment and the liabilities behind it. Legally, it's what law requires locally to federal in regards to the use/re-use of medical equipment. Liability wise, it's about what happens should something go wrong. With lawsuits, no one is about to take a chance on a 3rd party refurbished infusion pump. Saving a couple grand isn't worth the millions a single lawsuit could bring due to giving someone the incorrect dosage of something. You feel having a schematic for something makes it legal which it does not. The legalities start where the permission ends. You even stated yourself, the end goal was to sell their ICs to the companies making plms. That's where the permission comes into play. Just like UDI tried to do, they still needed to purchase the chips from insteon...Since they didn't get permission, they could not sell their creation.. Just because some companies operate their businesses certain ways does not mean their way is open for every business. Yes Arduino allows you to build your own cpu. But try reselling it and calling it an Arduino. See how quickly you get a letter in the mail. It comes down to the permissions given. If you think a 15 year old schematic of a chassis gives you permission to do as you state, why don't you? You'd make a lot of money.

Yes they did..WITH PERMISSION and with the understanding that they would be selling the chips to them not UDI buying old units to pull chips from. That is the key where you go from a completely legal act to an illegal one that could potentially cost you millions.

That's completely different. The surpreme court already ruled that selling a purchased item does not infringe on any patents. Buying a PLM, taking the chip out of it and reselling it as your own module does infringe on copyright law. Using your analogy, taking that same Toyota with a new muffler and trying to resell it by calling it Eleanor will cost you. IP laws are very clear on the matter. A simple 2 minute search can educate you (or a lawyer on retainer)

If that was the case, don't you think UDI would have done so with their own PLM? Building an assembly and buying chips directly from them to sell (with permission) isn't the same as buying old parts and reselling with your own assembly (without permission). Using your logic, I can buy a bottle of head & shoulders, put it in my own container and resell as my own product. As I said before, go for it and try to sell without permission.

I'm not going to debate you. A 5 minute google search will show how wrong you are. Any lawyer will tell you about copyright law. But again- feel free to go for it.

If you think so, go right ahead. Let us know how that works out for you.
