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

When you're talking about different countries, many things can behave differently due to differing local restrictions

Would've been great for you to supply that type of information in the very beginning. Could've saved us a lot of time

What we've been saying all along. The fact is, when you upgrade, all of your links are there. Download both at the same time and you're ready to go. With your way, you have additional steps. Not hard steps but additional nonetheless. In addition, since you haven't been using the launcher, you're still having to clear java as well as missing easily accessing polisy.

It's not that we didn't know. Just more efficient ways of getting the console in addition to that being an outdated way of accessing the admin console

Sounds like steps someone else we know would take. ?

I'd submit a ticket

I think it's the 2448a7. I have 2 polisy's set up. 1 with the PLM and 1 with the USB stick (both have different zwave boards too). The one with the PLM doesn't have any issues with talking to the same devices that the 2448a7 has. Both are in the same location and trying to talk to the same devices. The 2448a7 will miss button presses resulting in me restoring the device whereas the PLM will work flawlessly. The power line signal works faster than the Rf signal so there may be a slight decrease in communication (possibly imperceptible). I suspect the board being smaller means its a slower processor in the USB stick as well vs the PLM. Scenes will always work faster than programs so i use scenes for everything (programs will trigger my scenes too). Insteon devices will receive a response from responders but the Isy does not status devices when controlled via scenes. This is why you may see a switch blink red due to not getting a response. I've moved some of my setup to the 2448a7 for longer term testing so hopefully future updates will make things better as I'd rather use that than the PLM which takes up space.

Not that I've seen. If they are zwave+ then your devices would be 500 series.

Leviton is the only one I'm aware of still using hail.

There are no updates for them to issue at this time. Once they have a better idea about things and get it back up, THEN and only then will they update us. As MrBill stated (I concur with his reasons), I highly doubt it will be a quick fix. This is mainly due to them wanting to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again. Yes, I'm aware it's hard for causal users to keep up but then again, if a user is so casual they don't receive the emails and miss the very first post on the forum, they'll probably miss subsequent updates and details as they come in the future as well

If you use the launcher you can do that

They already do that. One just has to read them. You'll usually find major announcements on the very top post on the forum homepage. News concerning individual nodeservers are generally found on the actually nodeserver page. Yes, PGC is for cloud based nodeservers. Pg2 is for RPI based nodeservers which most likely will not be supported going forward (unless the individual developer chooses to). PG3 is for Polisy based Nodeservers

You must read AND follow the instructions exactly as it says on the 5.3 download page. Clear your Java cache and use the launcher found on the 5.3 page

I'm sure all of them will be ported over eventually. It just takes time. In the meantime, pg2 version still works

That hasn't been my experience with them. Unfortunately your experience is different than mine. You could give their forums a shot

The very first link at the top of the forums has a message from UDI stating that PGC has been temporarily shut down due to a security vulnerability. You should have also received an email saying the same thing

Unfortunately I can't help you. The few times I've had a door fail to add, it automatically went into monitoring mode with the sensor. Maybe there's a problem with your hub. I'd check on myq forums or give their support another call

In this day and age, insteon alone isn't enough. Besides nodeservers, there are newer devices that wouldn't work, unable to add voice assistants, network security risks, inability to send notifications, zwave, etc. You're talking about 7+ years of changes that are missing. With all that's missing with insteon right now, it becomes paramount to have an updated and supported controller

Go through the process. It'll eventually fail and put you in monitor mode only
