Hey Goose. I followed the steps to install PG3. Specifically: curl -s https://pkg.isy.io/script/update121.sh | sudo bash sudo shutdown -r now cat /usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/update13.sh | sudo bash sudo shutdown -r now sudo pkg install pg3 sudo service pg3 enable sudo service pg3 start Also I tried restarting polygot on polisy in PG2. No go

Hey all thanks for the suggestions. Here's what solved it. I had to go to the apple keychain and search for polisy under certificates. Then I clicked on the polisy cert to open it. The I clicked on TRUST. The I changes all available options to "Always trust". And now I have my proceed link back in the Chrome. Incidentally, typing thisisunsafe also did work. but that was the only other solution.

I'm sure there must be a topic on this somewhere but I can't find it. I've been lazy up until now but it's time to figure this out... I cannot access Polisy from chrome on my Mac. Works fine from Safari--but I don't really use safari. Typically in chrome, when I get that "this site is not private", I can click on advanced and go there anyway. For some reason, that option doesn't exist for Polisy. Thanks!

First of all, fantastic guide, Thank you! I'm not certain I should have jumped in with both feet but what can I say, I'm weak. Anyway, I got as far as getting PG 3 loaded and successfully bought and installed a PG3 node--that was cool. But problem now is that the process did something to my PG2 nodes. They all show disconnected and I cannot get them to reconnect. I'm attaching the logs from my MYQ PG2 node (I don't think a PG3 version exists yet?). If anyone has a suggestion on how to troubleshoot, that would be much appreciated. MyQ_logs_1-17-2022_110832_AM.zip

I see. Thanks. So just clear the last bit of cloudyness... With ISY running a on a Polisy, what are we planning to connect to that will also plug into the wall and replace the Serial PLMs that have been discontinued?
-
Sorry, I'm sure I'm being sense here; and I don't know what DB9 means. But if a PLM is still required when running ISY on the Polisy and the only PLM I know of that works with ISY is discontinued, what has changed?
-
Well, that's exciting. Couple follow up questions; 1) Will the restore from ISY to Polisy ever be possible? Or should we plan to rebuild from scratch on Polisy? 2) The sudo commands you list--how do you run them? 3) Lastly, I'm still confused as to what actually replaces the Insteon Serial Modem on the policy.
-
Granted I've been a little out of the loop. But we can't run ISY on the Polisy yet correct? And if we could, I'm not sure how the extra ethernet ports help. You still need an interface to plug into the wall right?

I emailed Smarthome.com to see if they had an info and when it would be in stock and this was the answer: "Thank you for contacting Smarthome Support. Our apologies for the inconvenience caused. We understand that you would like to know about the availability of our products, we would be happy to assist you further! We had escalated the issue to our resources, and we got an update stating that the Insteon PLM (Item # 2413S) is a discontinued product and we do not have any immediate plans to bring the Insteon PLM back in due to limited sales." Given the propensity of failure with these PLM's, what are ISY owners supposed to do if this is true?

Chill.

Hi all. I'm thinking of embarking on a small project to get my Pella Shades working with the ISY again. Long story short, I used to be able to control them By going ISY>IFTTT>WINK HUB>Pella Bridge. Believe it or not, that all worked great until WINK decided to make their hub subscription based. The Pella Bridge itself is a Zwave device but from what I can tell, connecting directly to it doesn't work very well. Sooo... I'm thinking of an alternative approach that I once used to to control my Garage Doors (before V5 and the MYQ nodeserver). I took apart one of the shade remotes (pictured) and I'm thinking about soldering the buttons to an I/O Linc. BUt here's the rub, unlike my garage door openner where 1 button toggled both open and close; on these remotes, open and close are distinc buttons. Moreover, I'll need to hack 2 remotes becasue some of the blinds are bottom up and some are top down and those sets are linked to their own remotes because it's impossible to mix them on a single remote (Pella sucks by the way). So if I understand IOLinc correctly, I'd need 4 of them???. Also to be clear, remotes (pictures) are linked directly to the shades I want them to control. The Pella Bridge device is a separate unit pella sells to connect shade to a VERY select set of home automation systems of which WINK used to be included. So the Bridge is not part of the equation for this project because I have no way to communicate with it. I'm wondering if there's a different device out there (maybe a a ZWAVE device) that has multiple relay's on the same device and would be a cheaper route? Also, I was assuming I'd be using the Normally open and Common connectors but if I'm wrong, any advice appreciated.

Off works on does not Fast on does
bcdavis75 replied to kowaj's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
So glad you posted this. I noticed I'm having the exact same issue with some of my insteon dimmers. I haven't had time to dig into it but same deal; When controlling the device from the admin console, "ON" actually turns things off. Fast on seems to work fine. I will go back and check the "On Levels". -
I have two of those. They work well.

I use a Kasa switches Powerstrip and the KASA nodeserver. Not as nice a real PDU but cheeper and it works.

Hi all. I wanted to chime in from the perspective of a pure consumer -- I'm not a developer; I have no interest in leaning Linux and building my own Polygot server; I regularly use this forum for help on things and give virtually nothing in return I took the plunge on Polisy becasue of all the awesome possibilities it represents. At the moment, they are still just possibilities becasue I've run into some serious issues. Fortunately @Michel and team have been extraordinarily responsive. As a consumer dipping my toe into this new model, it's both exciting and scary. I've already had to reach out directly to several node developers for help getting some things to run. Some have been very responsive (props @simplextech) and some not so much. But I can't blame the the unresponsive too harshly... I haven't paid a dime for your work. It is a little intimidating however to consider the possibility of deeply integrating my home via node servers, having something break, and having no clear channel to get help. Of course these forums continue to be a great resource but but the breadth of integrations might make it more and more difficult to get answers. Official UDI tech support is always great too... but is that the support channel for 3rd party nodes going forward? The things that I'd love to see happen as a dummy (user): The pay model that Michel referenced. Hope it happens soon. It's hard for me to quantify exactly what I'm WILLING to pay. $30 bucks for Sonos??? No brainier. $5 for tesla? yeah. And a subscription would not be ideal. I'd rather pay on an irregular schedule as upgrades are needed due changes in the API's or whatever. OR, I would be happy to an annual subscription to UDI for unlimited node access in perpetuity to be divided up among the developers based on some black box algorithm that the forum will reverse engineer over the course of years and 1000s of posts Some channel for bespoke node development. I don't know if anyone care about Carrier Infinity or insynctive shades but I'd pay someone to make a node. The nodestore interface. There's a lot to do but some low hanging fruit: Add fields for "Date Added", "Update Available", and links to the underlying product it controls. Also, all the instructions and custom parameters need to be directly integrated. I never want to go to Git hub for anything. The relationship between Cloudpoly, Polisy Poly, my portal and related Alexa connections is all getting very convoluted. It feels like this could all be unified. But users like me oversimplify things Clear support channels Anyway, a lot of that is a knee-jerk. Overall (even though everything is broken at the moment), I'm very excited and happy for Michel UDI because I think this will all really take UDI to the next level. Keep it up guys.

Sorry if this has been covered but is there a fix for the buttons not being fully visible/scaling properly on a KPL . See below how the "On" button is running off the edge? This is on a MBP 16" Running Catalina.
-
Sorry if I missed it... but is this now the final version people are using? I just bought 2 new leak sensors. want to try it out...
-
Quick update. This was a no go: https://www.amazon.com/Cooper-RF9537-NDW-Electronic-Voltage-Fluorescent/dp/B00S9KMF0Q Humming, flickering, general weirdness. On to the next one. The insteon dimmer continues to at least behave predictably. But them is ah hummin'
-
Good suggestion. I can try it. I didn't search too hard.. I'm sure there are ELV Z wave dimmers that cost less too. But a dumb dimmer test s worth a shot. I COULD live with hum (not sure about the wife)... but I'm worried about damaging the load... which is not easily reachable. I'm guessing there's no verified news about Insteon coming out with an ELV wall dimmer?
-
Hey Teken. How would a mico dimmer change the dynamic? Also, just curious would another option be to get something like this: https://www.homecontrols.com/Leviton-Vizia-RF-600W-Electronic-Low-Voltage-Scene-Capable-Dimmer-LVVRE061L I'd need to upgrde my ISY for Zwave... but I've been starting to feel like going down that road anyway.

I should mention... this is the light: https://www.lumens.com/silo-x20-led-monopoint-by-wac-lighting-WAC662502.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=PLA&utm_term=&scid=scplpWAC662502&sc_intid=WAC662502 There are 5 on the track. The bulbs cannot be replaced (integrated into the fixture). Also, the track is 30 feet up and was installed with scaffold... which is now gone. Good times. I can confirm that a dumb on/off does not hum. I don't have an insteon relay handy but I could order one.
