Just purchased a serial PLM today on the Smarthome website. Lets see if the order gets fulfilled, but it let me buy it, didn't say 'Sold Out'.
-
Uninstalled app, rebooted device, rebooted ISY, reinstalled app and tried to re-sync. The sync still has same issue just sits there with spinning wheel at this stage indefinitely
-
Running the latest version of UD Mobile on IOS. Cannot sync, during the sync it just sits at "Getting NLS Objects for Family: 10. Instance: 3" with a spinning wheel. Just sits there with spinning wheel, no error messages. No idea how to fix it. Was working fine for months before the latest upgrade to UD Mobile. Running 5.3.3 on the ISY.

I was lucky I needed it for a haiku ceiling fan with a 0-10v driver module that “sinks or sources” voltage, so I was good either way. As I mentioned, I went with the Insteon device, but if it breaks and is no longer available I will just get the Leviton as my backup plan behind a z-wave 120v dimmer switch. There was a pe300-Dow on e-bay for $70 earlier this week which would lessen the blow to the hip pocket for you.

Before I installed my Insteon ballast solution a couple years back I was thinking about a leviton pe300-Dow behind a z-wave dimmer switch. Figured it would be simpler once set up to control. Not sure if others have experience with one of these? ps not a cheap option.

I have ZRTSI (z-wave version). Fade Stop command to it is just like hitting the My button on the Remote I believe. But works -
Somfy 'my'/favorite setting from ISY?
jwagner010 replied to brockp's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
Tried mine with a Rest. A DON of 0 closed them, and a DON of 1 or higher just opened them, including 25, 50 and 99. Tried 1, 25, 50 and 99, no luck. From reviewing the forum, I found that a 'Fade Stop' from the ISY will result in the shade motor going to the 'my' position. Can confirm it works, by using UD Mobile I issued a Fade Stop command to the Shade motor and it resulted in the shade going to the 'My' position setting. Hope that helps -
Anyone out there use the Neato Botvac even if you don't have the experience to write a Node Server, just curious if I am the only person who uses a Neato Botvac versus a Roomba?

Not sure what that has to do with my suggestion and use case?

In some instances I use Programs to turn on devices as I require the program to do a number of 'checks' before turning on the device. When adding a Program to the favorites dashboard it would be nice if we could show the status of the device that the program is turning on or off next to the Program itself. For example, if I have a program called 'Ceiling Fan' and add that program to the favorites dashboard, when setting up the Program called 'Ceiling Fan' as a favorite it would be nice to be able to select the device to show as status on or off against that program on the favorites screen. I know I could just put the Device itself under the program as a favorite, but given I don't want to turn the device on unless the program does the checks I would prefer not to have the device itself on the favorites screen. Not sure if others have a need for something like this, and I am sure it would be low on the priority list but wanted to put it out there for consideration. That and geo fence would be awesome !!!! @Javi Appreciate the time on this app, finally something that works with node servers, awesome job.
-
Really liking UD Mobile on iOS. Great job. On iOS will UD Mobile support GEO fences? It is the only thing keeping me running mobilinc which I would like to do away with completely if I could. Thank you keep up the awesome work.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a Aeotec Multi Sensor 6 kicking around, while I hate to use it for this purpose, appears there are not similar z-wave devices per OP, so will look to try the Aeotec this weekend if time permits

I have a scene that includes a homeseer dimmer switch (HS-WD200+) and a homeseer switch (HS-WS200+). The HS-WD200+ is the controller and the HS-WS200+ is a responder. If both devices are on / scene on, when I press the paddle to turn the HS-WD200+ off, the HS-WS200+ turns off - expected behavior If both devices are off / scene off, when I press the paddle to turn the HS-WD200+ on, the HS-WS200+ doesn't respond / stays off - Any thoughts what's going on? Cannot figure it out. The ISY 'sees' both the On and Off paddle presses of the HS-WD200+ but the HS-WS200+ just doesnt respond to it. Is my HS-WS200+ and I should just replace it? I can control the scene on/off and devices directly from the ISY Console with no issue, but local on taps don't trigger the scene / HS-WS200+ on. Do I just need to replace the HS-WS200+?

I am looking for a z-wave vibration sensor, one which is battery powered and 'relatively' small. I know there are multi-sensors out there but really prefer a single purpose vibration sensor device. Similar to this one, which would be perfect for my needs but unfortunately its zigbee: https://www.aqara.com/us/vibration_sensor.html Interested if folks have seen something like this on the market for z-wave? Just FYI before someone asks, I have a range hood that I would like to detect when it is operating. Long story but I cannot get to the wiring (would evolve busting out drywall which I just don't want to deal with). A vibration sensor like this should work well.

Personally, if the current Insteon support can be built as a Node Server and that node server is done in a way where the community can add to the node server for new devices, taking the load off UDI, I think that is a good compromise. Just my personal opinion. But there would have to be a governance process in place where UDI could take input from the community for new devices and review them before updating the node server. I know it is not a simple thing, there are likely to be conversion issues, but thats home automation, its never seamless as we all know, but thats the price you pay for progress. re: The PLM going out of production, yes that does worry me, so I for one will be making sure I have a replacement or two in the cupboard next time Smarthome have a sale. Should it go out of production I am sure someone way way smarter than I will find a way to take the Smarthome hub and turn it into a PLM should this occur. My biggest concern is Smarthome going under or just killing off Insteon. Again my personal view, is while I don't expect it to happen anytime soon, it will happen, that is a given, technology always becomes obsolescent at some point, whether in a year or 20 years, it will happen, by that time there will be other options out there for us that meet all our needs and an upgrade path so as devices die we can introduce other options. Short story for me: 1) Insteon as Node Server (with process for community input for new devices) 2) Port over Network Resources, not everyone has the ability to write Node Servers and Network Resources are an easy way to set up simple calls to third party devices

Appreciate the counsel. Figured I would need to look for a cheap laptop, kind of sucks but I cannot complain I guess, the ISY has been great value for money over a decade. The good news for everyone else is, knowing my luck, as soon as I buy the laptop the non Java version will be released the next day !!!!!!!
-
I shudder to ask the question and I pretty much know what the answer will be 'it will be available when its released', but I will ask anyway !! I access the Admin Console through my employer laptop (windows 10) and have done so successfully for over 10 years. Unfortunately, my employer has decided that it will no longer support Java and is actively removing it from all machines across the company. They have their reasons with the changes to the way Oracle now licenses Java to large enterprises. I cannot fight city hall on that one, is what it is. My predicament is I don't have a personal laptop. So to my question. I hear that UDI is working on a non Java based Admin Console interface. I will not ask exactly when it is likely to launch, but would ask if it is highly likely to launch in 2021 even if in December? I can probably limp along to the end of the year, and hope no changes to programs or adding / removing devices is needed. Just trying to gauge the general timing here as buying a laptop/desktop is an expensive proposition for me to access a user interface as the ISY Admin Console is the only thing I cannot do from my employer provided laptop so I would really just be buying a laptop to access the ISY (ps I also have a POLISY) Long question but wanted to add some color as I know UDI is a small shop and I am sure going as quickly as possible.

Interesting I have a synology nas also. Did you install yourself or from a community package? If the later is it kept up to date?
-
I was hoping someone out there may have developed or would be willing to develop a Node Server for the Neato line of robot vacuums. They have an API and JS SDK (https://developers.neatorobotics.com). The API requires interaction to the Neato cloud service with an OAuth authorization process which is well and truly beyond my knowledge/ capabilities hence the question. Have looked for a local API but cannot find one. Hoping the community has a common need and one could be developed for Polisy / polyglot.
-
Not a solution today but perhaps a node server could be written to connect multiple ISYs together. Polling interval could be set to appropriate level or program(s) written to query the NS on certain control triggers if real time status is important. Beyond my capabilities but maybe something UDI or someone with knowledge and time wants to consider.

Is it likely Home Assistant will be ported to Polisy one day soon? I have invested in a Polisy and have no desire to build an Rpi.

Any progress on making HousePanel available on Polisy?

Anyone have any ideas or a guess when we might see this new 4 button key pad?
