ISY and Polisy *OR* ISY on Polisy???
You're way overboard. No one posted for 5 days until you brought it back up. If that never happened, it wouldve already been settled.

Stopping a program from another program
GPS isnt the only thing to use with Geofencing. There's also the Ping nodeserver which can use your phone connecting to your wifi.

Isy stops hearing wireless devices
Probably not since it can communicate with your other devices without issue. Did you lose power or reboot your isy?

ISY -> Home Assistant -> HomeKit
This has been my issue with trying to track scenes. If I turn a scene on and later adjust one of the lights slightly, is it still on? Everyone has a different idea of when they consider a scene/group ion that someone is left with incorrect information which is worse than no information at all.

ISY -> Home Assistant -> HomeKit
The problem is that both are interchangeable. I completely understand the point your making and its valid, how do you quantify that when everyone has their own idea of how they run their home?

Multiple Z-Wave Device Tree Nodes?
All that you see is built into zwave code regardless of whether a manufacturer chooses to use it or not. You'll need to check the full manual of your device (usually found on their website) to see what parameters are needed to get supported nodes to populate. The Isy wiki has instructions and details on what stuff means. Just Google Isy zwave wiki. You can also find a write up at the top of this sub forum titled zwave tips and tricks. It's easy to find since it's the very first post

Fixing bad device links !
I'd replace the devices

Fixing bad device links !
That's part of your problem. Both firmware and UI needs to match. ***See note at top of sub-forum title. Update your firmware. Once done, unplug your isy, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in

Neither answers the questions

Firmware and UI? What do you mean it's not right in the Isy

Insteon Alternative?
Ge sold their lighting stuff. The company Jasco makes them and has a licensing agreement to use Ge's name. They are still making them

Weiser Home Connect 620 ZWave 700 Push Button Deadbolt
I could be wrong but from what I read, it's made by kwikset. It's their Canadian arm

Weiser Home Connect 620 ZWave 700 Push Button Deadbolt
Never used it but kwikset historically hasn't had any issues with the Isy

Programming Receptacles
I don't see why it's not working. Can you control it from the console? Personally, I'd create a scene, drop both outlets into the scene as responders and control the scene

I don't open links from newcomers so you'll need to copy and paste your program. R click on your program and choose copy to clipboard

Insteon Alternative?
Looks are based on ones perspective. While a 1940 switch may look fine to you, others may not share that same sentiment. Even if i didn't automate, I would use some type of decora style switch because toggle switches are ugly to me. While paddle switches share a classic look that allows them to age well, many have a desire to take their home to a different level which means looking at the little details. This is increased when you include HA as people want to experience it from top to bottom. I'm one of those people. I don't want to just live in my home. I want it to be an experience similar to one you have when house hunting and you see a new home. Thats how insteon has grown long in the tooth. When you look at newer switch designs such as the Lutron Sunnata line (RA3) or even their own Nokia line, the insteon switches simply look dated.

Outdoor motion sensors (Zwave, probably, + extenders)
Any zwave plug in module will work for repeating. It looks like zooz is shaping up to be a player in the zwave market. As long as you stock with the top brands such as aeotech, ge, Leviton, zooz, and others you should be ok. I would just go to Amazon and type in zwave plug on modules and zwave outdoor motion sensors to see what they have

Insteon Alternative?
I agree with what you said when it comes to insteon and other zwave devices like homeseer's. Insteon has grown long in the tooth. That's expected with the look being over 10 years old.

Insteon Device Selection is Dismal in Canada
I'd recommend he/you read the zwave tips and tricks at the top of the zwave forum so that you have an understanding of how zwave works

Insteon Alternative?
I've messed around with zooz. They're low cost devics and it shows in how they feel to the touch and when operated. It's great for those who simply want something that simply works. Someone who puts as much emphasis on aesthetics and style as they do performance probably won't like them

2413S PLM work around?
They make orders as necessary. The problem is they have to make a minimum buy for the factory to produce the product. With limited chips, the question becomes whether or not you produce products that may take 6-12 months to sell or those that will sell in 3-4 weeks

2413S PLM work around?
Wow! We went from pm issues to WW3 bringing insteon down. Let's be real. If war did break out, we'll have much bigger issues than insteon stock levels and their ability to replenish
