I always recommend wiring for dummy switches and then automating. While more work initially, it'll be cheaper in the long run. Since you're already thinking about the future, the likelihood of you selling is greater. Whoever buys the house may not want an automation system. This will either cause a buyer to take off from the cost to get it fixed or cost you to get it fixed prior to selling. As hot as the market is right now, there's no guarantee of that in the future. Put the time and work in today as it'll be cheapest today

It probably is. Popped in and disappeared just as quick.

True but he didn't say anything about his system. If he has the 300 board zwave he wouldn't be able to update to that.

So simple yet no one ever does it.

Double post. I answered on your other post. You should delete this one

You must be on the 5.0 branch to be able to change the motion sensor parameters. Since you did not provide any information about your setup i would recommend that you update to 5.0.16c

Instead of coming on here posting as you have, why not take a moment to actually read. Had you done so, you would've found it already. None of your attitude is needed, warranted, or desired. All the extra is there for a reason

See the end of the wiki https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Polisy:User_Guide

Depends on which mobilinc version you're asking about. Mobilinc X is the new version which going forward is the supported version

The plms are still supported. They even have a new version in the works. With the current chip shortage, they have out making them on hold to focus on their primary devices. At this time, there is no timetable for their return. It may be possible to rebuild your PLM. There's a thread on here that discusses how.

I wouldn't feel gypped if I were you. While I base my installs on what I can do today, I still keep an eye towards the future. Even if it's just a 1 room/situation install where I could potentially use a lesser system, I would still use the isy pro with zwave (keeping the discussion with insteon). Why? You never know what someone will want to add. Today they just want their Christmas lights or outside lights being controlled. Tomorrow, they the bedroom and living room. I'd rather have the infrastructure in place than nickel and dime someone trying to get extra stuff going for them. The same applies for Polisy. I don't need wifi. With Polisy being plugged into my network, it'll discover other devices on my network anyway. Sure, it would be nice to move it around to different locations (i think you can do that already), but it's easier and cheaper to buy a few more devices to get better range than try and find the ideal spot. THe same applies to Bluetooth. What would you realistically use it for? Yes, there are some use cases today but is it needed that much right now that it hurts not having it? In the future, that may change. I'd rather have the pro now and not use those features than get the cheaper version only to find i need to buy more parts to be able to use something later

This is what I'm looking forward to

Unfortunately no. The 2422-222 has a PLM built in and can be used separate from the insteon hub app. Not sure if the isy was ever updated to take advantage of that. I know the houselinc software could. Just don't know if UDI ever did anything with it. @Michel Kohanimwould be able to answer that if he knows anything about that capability

If you knew the company it wouldn't be strange. Even when support was based out of Irvine, there was still limited communication between the powers that be and those on the phone. Most information was found via relationships between co-workers than direct communication like it should've been.

Being in stock is an indication of sales (or lack thereof). Not them being produced while the 2413s isn't

That's not the case

The problem with the USB version is that it's the same as the serial version. Just a different connector. Once 2413u is gone it's gone

It will along with the rest of the devices. Just don't know a release date yet

Its nothing directed personally towards UDI since the Isy isn't the only game in town. This would effect anything that requires a PLM. While the PLM isn't completely disco'd, being on hold the way it is comes from certain people making short term decisions assuming loyalty and the insteon brand goes farther than it really does. I don't think they've looked at the bigger picture. Whole their new line will be out soon, existing users won't flock to it due to mistrust in regards to long term support. Those looking to grow their systems will do the same. They fail to realize the space they're operating in is like a road to nowhere.... At some point, you'll get to the end. To many cheaper products already fill that road. Their system is a stepping stone that allows you to grow into something much more capable. Anything else, it's just an overpriced remote for lights. Hopefully they'll realize soon enough and produce more or at least release the new PLM before things get dicey. If it gets that far, i guess if have to get in the bandwagon myself and talk about how doomed they are

The network heal wasnt and isn't the best way to manage a network which is part of the reason zwave alliance removed it. Since zwave is self healing, your devices will do it themselves. Its better to update a single problem device vs all together. Using update neighbors on a device that has problems communicating will update the path for that device.

I don't upgrade firmware once added to the Isy so I can't say for certain what would happen with devices in secure mode (I suspect the encryption will cause issues). Generally however, your other controller should be made a secondary controller in the Isy, and control moved over to that. Update, then moved back to Isy. @Michel Kohanimshould be able to confirm if this is still the case.

Zwave assigns numbers as devices are added. Unfortunately there's nothing the isy can do about it. You can synchronize your nodes, which will open that slot for the future. However, zwave will still start with the next number available. If it's that important, you'll have to factory reset the board and start clean

Non secure is faster since encryption isn't involved

I'm surprised you were able to download to 4.9 with 500 series as it's not supported in that version. Other people who has made that mistake lost all zwave connection. That may be why you're having issues with 4.9 and the 500 series board

You can't have 2 controllers. You'll have to choose 1. Documentation for your lock can be found on schlage's website.
