Proprietary, ZigBee, zwave, material/build quality, additional programming support

How do you normally write your programs in the isy? It's the same way

I havent noticed any delays in my programs once they're saved. All of mine ran instantly when testing. There are alot of users of the ELK nodeserver. The Elk nodeserver channel on here will give you a great chance to see what others are experiencing to know whether or not it's stable enough for your needs. I assume the charge for the new ELK nodeserver is due to it being a much more robust system. With the additional capabilities added, its pretty much a whole new system. Nodeservers and modules are the same thing just by a different name. UDI has commented that this is the path they're taking. At some point, Insteon and zwave will be nodeservers as well.

Id say give it a try and see. Everyone is looking for something different so experiencing both is probably the best thing. I can say, UD Mobile works with their newest capabilities so that may be a reason to switch. UD Mobile is also free so you could see how well it works for your needs without investing a large sum of money

Range wouldn't increase without 800 series devices

Sounds like the op left that little tidbit of information out......I cant name a single company that would do that much for someone for free.

What did you need help with

You can buy direct from ubiquiti. I agree with what Brians said above about the SE over the pro but for different reasons. I chose the SE because it has a 2.5GbE WAN port whereas the pro only has a 1GbE. POE didnt matter as much to me since Id have the switch too. While I don't have those speeds from my provider yet, I figured it would future proof me for when it actually happens.

Simply change status to control. Anytime your door is open your then will run

@bpwwer, I know you're busy with everything else everyone throws at you so there is no rush on this request/inquiry. I was just wondering if it were possible to add Sub support to the ST-Nodeserver? Thank you

It does except for the USGP. I have the UDM. In our old place my setup was similar though I have newer gen equipment in our new one. Either way, Ive never experienced any types of issues due to the Ubiquiti equipment. Why are you choosing the USGP instead of the UDMP and the ACP over the U6P

Like I mentioned earlier- Ubiquiti. I have zero issues with my system. I have 6 access points, UDM pro, and ubiquiti switch. Most static devices such as tvs, amps, fire cubes, etc. are hardwired.

With you using the ISY, I believe that you must be on the latest firmware and have to query your devices since leviton uses hail vs sending status automatically like other modern zwave devices do.

It's not necessarily that they are too complex for people. UDIs concerns are probably different then epson's being that they cater to different situations. With udi, they want to ensure that the different systems which encompass polisy/eisy are able to talk to one another. Being that they are a much smaller company, I'm sure they want to limit support calls due to someone not configuring their certs properly and breaking their system in the process.

I haven't had those issues in my home. I have 4amps, 1 Arc, 1 beam, 1 sub, 1 sub mini, a three, five, 2-ones, and 2-100s. None have skipped a beat. The amps, soundbars, and 5 are all hardwired while the rest are wireless. Whether separately or together, I've been able to use them together in groups without issue.

I have and install Ubiquiti with Sonos. I haven't run into issues yet. Generally when I use amps they're hardwired while the speakers are wireless

I dont think you're incorrect. I think forums like this are hard to receive help from because there are so many variables at play with the folks here. Some are networking experts so they're more likely to provide complicated answers (simple to them)to people who are looking for simpler ways to accomplish things because they may not be as technically inclined. Others may use their singular experience through trial and error which worked. This may make things simpler than they need to be or more complicated. You have others who simply use specific products for various reasons and that's what they stick with due to their experiences with those products such as myself. I'm far from a networking expert, but since I use Ubiquiti for my work, that would generally be my first recommendation. Then you have others who feel they are technical people because they read something online and will run with what they read and call themselves experts. DHCP and reservations are things that i think are used/needed on an individual basis. Reservations aren't a bad thing. I reserve everything that connects to my automation system. Anything else I leave open as I don't care about the ip address being changed since it doesn't affect anything. I used to not do that at all but came home to a dark house because my hue bridge was issued a new ip address from my router so my ISY could no longer communicate with it. I learned a few lessons then that I still carry with me today. With DHCP, Its a time management thing for me. I'm not doing anything that makes me feel the need to manage my network at that level. Its hard to get dual wan in most areas simply because for many residential areas, there is only 1 provider. Besides that, most folks do not want to pay for multiple ISPs....I know I dont. I may worry about it more if I was in an area with bad service but living in the city has its perks.... Since I use Ubiquiti, I have access points by default but do agree with you on this one. I don't use mesh systems like the Nest pods, eero, or Orbi. I know a few folks that have them and none talk about having issues with them. I think this is something that is based on individual environments. I know Larry talked about his experience with his VR. My Oculus 2 doesnt have any issues with my Ubiquiti but I also don't walk around the house wearing them for them to jump from one AP to another. What concerns are you referring to? All of my IOT devices are on their own network and cannot connect to any of my other networks. I can access them from my main network but they cannot access my main network nor our work networks.

I think they are looking at things from a commercial standpoint vs individual user needs.

From the post The eisy is using a new version of Polyglot version three called PG3x. PG3x has infrastructure changes to make node servers (and PG3x) more secure and enable features based on remote access. Polisy users may update their systems to use PG3x if they want access to the new features. PG3 will continue to get updates for the foreseeable future.

The lack of any detailed information makes it hard for me to believe. Especially without anyone else having a similar story.

That would work for devices but not the plm itself. The only issue with that is there could be half links left over in devices which will carry over as well resulting in more work to fix things than simply coming in with a clean slate. While possible, the forum is also filled with horror stories from others who attempted this method

Best practice would be to reset everything and start fresh since you're moving from a different system
