Wow! You're about 600 km north of me then. Sent using Tapatalk

Just remember... 'south' means downhill from us. but I hear you have 'gone north'.

As non-Americans we have a very different Z-wave ('Zed Wave') too.

I just ran into this running my Python3 genealogy software on a Win 10 system. When the .csv files were opened on my Rpi they caused problems and I realised they had the double EoL terminator from the Windows python3. A simple utility like "dos2linux" downloaded into the RPi can fix these problems for files ported over from Windows. I had to make allowances for blank lines in my software to avoid confusing my code in the future.

Many vendors do this as they gather a large first order to help pay for the development costs and get their product off the ground. UDI is having this standard CPU system customised to meet their needs better. The initial cost would be high but spread out over a larger userbase would spread the cost out. Imagine only four of us having these units, and then asking for help or discussing some quirk in the system. It's the right thing to do and ISY is going to be pushed past it's CPU speed comfort levels with so many options for it, and more to come. I have applaud UDI and this has been some time coming.

Not even close. RPI is licensed and UDI couldn't use it without licencing costs. RPi uses a microSD card for ROM. PCengines uses a proper SDD. Nice they have gone to the USB-C connector. It may stand up to the increased current making and breaking when power reboots are required. Faster I/O would be nice. I use my one RPi 3 for browsing. Barely fast enough for the extreme CPU power needed today with all the animated advertising. Oh look! Again $35 = $167.12 CAD by the time you get an actual usable computer, on a preorder. Full desktops are getting down into the same price range.

I have a heating system that depends on water pressure to work. I do have four LD now but only shut off my well pump and washing machine. There will still be a fair amount of after come out of my 3000' of in-slab PEX piping but it would be lower than the leak and I would not come home to a swimming pool basement. The one by the washing machine watches overflow and hose breaks. Had one once and now with so much laminated flooring in the basement made out of cardboard....well you can imagine what would happen there but all the drywall and outside wall spun insulation gets involved if it get too deep. Love mould in my walls!

I use a concoction of my address. When I get a notification it comes from my address.

You would have to follow the research links to find out the sizes. The closest I have seen, without further research, is 8x8x2, as posted. I doubt it would fit in a 1 unit rack height. Need to got to 1.5 unit shelf space probably.

I have used Samsung TV app that can control mine just fine but from seeing the API I had no idea what they were talking about. It uses some encryption scheme that made no sense at the time. I am thinking I may have to use a packet sniffer and try an app again, to just capture raw data streams, without understanding them.

Peg the IP address down in your router using the DHCP reservation table. Don't turn off DHCP in your ISY.

I have to agree with that one except for a few cases on WiFi possibly. I have a BT access point from 20 years ago and it never got any support and never became useful. I also agree BT is mostly useless when the antenna is in the far corner of the basement but it is the buyer insecurity that is driving the preference AFAIC. What if....? What if....?

I think mostly, the radio hardware is not possible to add on later. At a reduced price, the insecurity of not knowing what is to come, drives it.

Why would smart HA systems need ISY, another smart HA controller? They could just buy the PolISY with all the NSs inside and interface it with their own smart HA controller. I view these other HA systems interfacing with ISY as a waste of development time. If they just wanted the Insteon interface, why not just interface to the dumber/cheaper Hub or an just an Insteon PLM? Maybe ISY was too easy to interface to, but then why not just use the ISY and forget the other HA controller? I don't understand the process for that thinking.

Maybe PolISY needs a REST interface so the other odd hundred HA controller systems can use it to interface with their worlds too. Why should ISY be the only HA so entitled?

SH didn't show any responsibility for that user punch in the gut. 'You may have noticed, UDI does not have all it's eggs in one basket anymore.' I think the disagreement is over some words that never happened and no derrogatory phrases were ever used against any business. I merely pointed out things could have gone bad for us ISY users and UDI advanced their technologies for our benefit. Businesses have no morals and should never be trusted.

UDI does not control SmartHome. That is a lot of confusion to what I posted.

If the SH and Apple IoT connection would have ben more successful SH could have stopped manufacturing the serial based PLM and hung UDI fans out to dry. You may have noticed, UDI does not have all it's eggs in one basket anymore.

I didn't think SH has any products that use a serial port PLM.

I used serial for equipment maintenance in the Electrical Utility grid also but even though the utilities are decades behind it was being quickly replaced in 2008 when I left. I even created serial port networks for POS terminals in the 1980s. I thought there was PLM USB dongles out there? If the Hub continues it should have the double bridge interface replaced at some time. Either way why would SH continue making the serial port PLM? Nobody else uses it, and this may especially be the case if Apple gives SH a bigger byte of their seeds.

The price isn't going to get any better and if it does, we may be in trouble down the road. Help support UDI Promote future development of new product More hardware signal security NOT going through more cables and routers. Faster CPU speed for future logic handling. Faster hardware and firmware port support for heavier HA home load. Possible future elimination of the PLM with Insteon development of a better product. Why would SH continue to make a problem serial port devices? Welcome to 1990. Open architecture computer on PolyGlot side, closed architecture on ISY side in the same box. PolISY Pro vs. PolISY? Less connectors to oxidise and cause intermittents. Less time so I can concentrate my time on other tech developments. Cheaper upgrade price during prepurchase.

Yeah...my shipping was pennies under $50 Canuck buck. Sent using Tapatalk

$35 always ends up being more like $120++ here. What does an ISY Pro + a RPi 3 cost though and the box should be a drop-in appliance for a newbie, instead of a Linux pride in confusion puzzle.

Support for 3G and 4G is also reported to being thought about. WiFi bulbs could be operated directly but the other routers would likely have better reach.
