I had hundreds of programs, many hundred Network resources. It was not even close to needed on the SmartThings hub. Now, I can't remove my ISY from the Z-Wave network and it is pissing me off. Forever a broken link! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Insteon and ISY are great but, in 4 hours time, I've conglomerated all my devices. I'll be able to report to the ISY when things are changing and still be able to use both and be able to report back to the ST hub if something has changed. I probably wouldn't do this if I wasn't a programmer Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Looking at the face of Smartthings, it's extremely simple, but I haven't even gotten to the programming such as Pistons. Not a stranger to Python and will give it a go. But local control of Eventghost is one of the best things I have on the ISY. It turns things off that aren't smart like my amp and TV. Hopefully, I can do internal http calls, that's going to be pretty important to get it the way I want it.. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I do have a ZWave in my ISY. That doesn't really help all the other protocols I use, unfortunately. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Because of a dismal start to 5.x (2 alpha updates a year), plus, I have too many products in my home that communicate with several other protocols. It would seem that it was time to start thinking about something else. Hue, LIFX, Harmony Elite, ZWave, Nest (Doorbell, Thermo, cameras), rPi, Eventghost with iR for amp/tv, Android TV, Amazon Fire Stick, and soon, Zigbee. The polyglot is stuck in alpha stages because of 5.x. with little to support some of the best parts of my HA system. I like some of the simplicity of the ISY, but I could probably sell off all my switches and other Insteon stuff to pay for the small amount of switches I want. It seems like Insteon just doesn't want to be a leader in home automation. I blame none of this on UDI, just in case you were thinking I was. All in all, I have about 300 network resources, it would be a pain. However, as of now, I'm not using a single Insteon unit other than the PLM to make the ISY work. So! The million dollar question, should I keep the ISY around for the iR and network resources, or, just transfer it all to the Smartthings hub? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

There is not much else I can improve on it. My site should be up now Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Found the command: "http://IP-ADDRESS/api/PASSWORD/lights/1" Easy enough

Not using Poly cause 5.0.7 is still in Alpha.

What's the best way to write a status script for these? I already have a Python engine (EventGhost) and, what I'd like to do is use the EG Hue plugin to tell me a light has been triggered, then get the true status like you would by querying a light in the Insteon with REST. So, basically, my question boils down to: What is the best way to query a hue light status with their API? Thanks!

I just added a program program to change modes of the thermostat (Off, Cool, Heat, Range) Release soon! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Search "Nest PHP class" on Google. That's where I found it. You may be able to do a home and away. If it were me and I had the Network Module, I would just use IFTTT and the Nest channel as well as the Maker channel to build an applet for the ISY to change temperature. These macros are much much more robust than anything IFTTT could give you. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Yup. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I could give you the code for the PHP class but, that's only for temperature adjustments, can't discover the thermostat through that, as far as I know. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I am about ready to release a new version of this. What would you like to see? I have already added running the fan for any amount of time. I can't tell you why EG hangs up on you. I would suggest going to the registry and deleting the keys for Eventghost Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
