I didn't know / realize that WiFi based LED bulbs have to go out the cloud, holy crap, that's ridiculous, but I guess everyone these days wants to lock you into their cloud. That's why I want to lean toward ISY centric with no cloud other than ISY cloud. Appreciate the education. 1. Concerning the brightness, would I be able to tell the difference in brightness or would it be so minimal that my concern for brightness is actually not an issue to be concerned about. I have a Yeelight RGB in my office and it just seems a bit on the low side on brightness. 2. Hue lights are 800 lumens, Yee lights are 600, Mi Lights are 1100. I see the point of Hue capability overriding the lumens. 3. Hue lights definitely have more bulb variations, ect. Will be important as my LED light ecosystem grows.

I know I could count on y'all for some advice, thanks! So, with anything else, looks like the following and some questions. Hue, more expensive, hub based, much better ecosystem, lower wattage bulbs, Ok. color. MiLights, as expensive as Hue, hub based, limited ecosystem, higher wattage bulbs, great color MagicHome, much less expensive, hub based, growing ecosystem but limited ISY capability at the moment, lower wattage bulbs, Ok. color capability. Comments on: Leaning toward MiLights because; cheaper, higher wattage, looks like a hub will be required for better control, higher wattage bulb availability, great color ISY control is available via Polyglot and capability increasing. Notice my requirement for higher wattage. With no experience, I assume higher wattage will provide brighter light and possibly better color, just thinking that higher wattage will flood larger room better with light. It appears that the Hue has the most ISY control available, smooth ramp up is a general requirement for me, and the other bulbs don't appear to have that available via ISY / Polyglot yet?

Hi All, I'm about ready to upgrade my ISY configuration that has been rock solid for some 6 years. Will finally upgrade to the 5.x release and implement the Polyglot server. I have also preordered the Polisy. I only mention this to give some context that I'm a ISY centric user with the desire to become even more ISY centric with the v 5.x release for the devices and controls described below. 1. My main question is a request for advice on LED lights. I want to purchase some color LEDs that will be compatible with the ISY as well as Alexa. Of course I know about the Phillips Hue, but I see that I can go a lot less expensive with Mi Lights, or Lifx (about the same price as the Hue), any others that are less expensive and ISY compatible such as the Berennis Smart Light Bulb? 2. So, what is the forum's recommendation for LED Color bulbs that are ISY compatible, don't require a hub (looking to keep things simple and ISY centric). 3. The Mi Light 12w interests me because of 12w, which would be much brighter than the hue, 100w vs 60w bulb equivalent?

Interesting, I just had a hiccup, but now k. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Over the past few months I’ve had maybe one or two incidents like that. They both worked themselves out so I’m thinking it was Amazon because my internet connection was solid, or bugs. One thought is to reboot internet modem and router, and wireless to see if that helps in the future. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So, discovered the issue. Sometimes I have to RTFM a couple times. I missed the step to go to the Programs Tab and hit the Save Changes button.

I'm in the process of converting from ISY Portal to Mobilinc Connect. Previously in the ISY Portal I could see my devices and scenes because through the ISY Portal I added the devices to the portal. After I switched to Mobilinc Connect, I saw some devices but not all. So, I checked and in the Notes section of each device and scene I made sure I had a spoken word, but there are still some that are not appearing in Alexa after I perform a discovery. I have come across instructions for the ISY Portal and Alexa and I came across the Mobilinc instructions for Alexa, but I'm still having issues. Any ideas or can someone point me to a similar message / instructions? Thanks for the support.

Hi Everyone, Just want to confirm something. 1. I just converted from ISY Portal to Mobilinc Connect. 2. My Network Module that was included in the ISY Portal is gone. 3. I will need to purchase the Network Module for Mobilinc, correct?

and ..... we’re back. Thanks to the support team!

Still offline here, will give it some more time. Rebooted ISY, still no connectivity.

I’ve rebooted twice, no luck. Will wait for further update.

Same here, with the exception of the OSX upgrade. So, if others haven’t upgraded, which it appears so, it’s a portal issue and hopefully we will get a response to this thread and status.

Same issue here. Just started happening after a OSX update to version 10.3.4

Hi GlowingHair, Very much appreciated! Very much!

Hi Bumbershoot, Thanks for the reply. What I'm actually looking for is the directions for creating the HTML page to send as a HTML eMail Notification with variables embedded. Just want to send a nice looking email rather than a plain ole text based one.

Hi everyone, I've searched but cannot find anything on how to create a HTML eMail Notification that has ISY variables embedded into it. Can someone point me to an example / tutorial on how to accomplish this?
