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.

Is there agricultural software for the RPi? It will be a while before my new PolISY will arrive. I am sure I will think of purposes or they will become obsolete by then.

I used a RPi 3 for a web browser for a few years. It's tucked away due to listing the house for sale at the moment. The Chromium browser has a few bugs but the speed is not bad at all. Seems ridiculous strapping a small cigarette package size on the back of a 24" monitor though. What am I going to do with three RPIs? One has become a genealogy file server just recently.

"Routines" are an Alexa app item. I am not sure whether GH allows anything like that to connect to their "proprietary" system. I try to keep all my smarts inside ISY and use ISY Portal to convert variable values to Motion Sensor contacts that Alexa Routines can understand as triggers. ISY Portal uses a value of a stat variable to become an On and Off in it's conversion table. This could be handy for one variable that has many possible values and therefore many output phrases. The vocal outputs are sent to a user selected units, including the one that heard the vocal trigger (not ISY related)

I didn't think the ISY Portal or Alexa understands the verb "Watch". I just use 'Turn On' and 'Turn off' for everything. "Turn on louder" works OK but "turn on softer" sounds a little weird.

Nope. Marcin did. Sent using Tapatalk

Masking tape paper backing and adhesive cleans off with WD-40. Let soak for abut 15 minutes and just wipe off. Use some detergent based spray to clean up WD-40 residue.

I am not sure if v4.7.3 is compatible with ISY Portal!! Why not upgrade to v5? Can you see all your devices in the ISY Portal Aexa vocal bridging table?

The S7 runs Android 8 IIRC? I have one and it definitely is capable. Don't know what else to suggest except to disconnect the account and start again. My GH would never connect for over a year and google couldn't help. After connecting the account to UDI Smart Home V3 skill did you ask "Alexa. Discover"? Alexa must scrape the connection for all your ISY elements you defined in ISY Portal.

Are you using a more recent mobile phone with Andoid 5 or later or an iPhone with necessary version? The Alexa app runs under windows but much is missing or doesn't function. You don't connect devices to ISY Portal. You connect the Alexa app to the UDI v2 skill that has a link to your ISY Portal account. This account security is getting stupid. When they ask for the password they don't specify Amazon account, alexa account, ISY Portal account, ISY device account, router account, WiFi account, or Admin Console account. Most just guess until one works but they have already given out all their security credentials to some snoop app they don't even know functions as stated. Sent using Tapatalk

Can you post your programs affecting this device? Did you know you can do searches for a particular device in your programs? Sent using Tapatalk

That may be due to your PLM sucking up all the noise to protect the rest of your house. Seriously though. It takes a crappy quality PLM and a noisey environment to make a bad combination. I think we know the first element is true but some have the second element also. Sent using Tapatalk

Looks like four. 2 internal and two external https://corpshadow.biz/pcengines/apu3b2-system-board

Perhaps Insteon could announce the latest technology for their products?...…... Quality Control!

Sounds like their attempt to crap down the throats of anybody that isn't Apple backfired and now they are trying to pick up some pieces. They need to put their money where their mouths are. Since Rob took over they have released the amazing Insteon Siren? Another upgraded X10 beeper? And they are still putting out PLM 2.0s? Amazing progress over 2-3 years.

When was the last time you factory reset the MS II? What is your UI version? I don't see you pinging UDI using the forum notification method. They aren't mind readers. If you are only using scenes with the MS II then ISY is not involved. Have you read any of the responses here?

You would have to notify them or do something to get their attention. Not every post is read. Try the '@'+nickname method in a post.

The WC8 supports up to 16 x 1-Wire devices. Early WC8 models had some trouble with this feat but this has been reported to be resolved mostly. Some experimenting with the 1wire transmission line terminations may be required to make it work properly with multiple 1wire devices. Mine has a resistor and capacitor installed at the board. Other users here report 16 probes successfully with ISY. My older WC8 board has worked with 2 x 1-wire temperature probes for several years while it counts pulses from my anemometer, calculating wind speeds and wind gusts, while sending 8 Webset packets to my ISY every 20 seconds, no problem. I was sending 8 Webset packets to ISY every 10 seconds but wanted to lengthen my sample period for the wind calculations. ISY has no problems handling a Webset packet from the WC8 every second while it performs many other tasks simultaneously, like PolyGlot plus NodeLink and several other home brew RPi projects updating variables.

I still get my reports at 8:00 AM every morning. Helps me track HVAC usage and Cold Cellar ventilation. With our high humidity here, in the summer it is hard to keep the walls from weeping and molds out.

There are a few ways to do this that I know of - Use io_guy's software on a RPi or other CPU - Use totally ISY software to keep track of run times without any real time logging. ….found it! - Use mwareman's technique mostly built inside ISY and using an external browser
