..and UDI likes to see, firsthand, some of the quirks that happen. It helps them improve things.

Did you try restarting the NSs in polisy? I had to do that every time in the past. My ecobee NS seems to have fixed that and heals like a trained dog now.

Add the port number to the IP address like this. 192.168.0.165:8080 I do not have a WC8 board anymore so I cannot verify this.

Put an AND pair of parentheses arround all your OR logic lines. It is in the upper edit box. If [ Time is 1:00:00AM Or Time is 2:00:00AM Or Time is 3:00:00AM Or Time is 4:00:00AM Or Time is 5:00:00AM Or Time is 6:00:00AM Or Time is 7:00:00AM Or Time is 8:00:00AM Or Time is 9:00:00AM Or Time is 10:00:00AM Or Time is 11:00:00AM Or Time is 12:00:00AM Or Time is 1:00:00PM Or Time is 2:00:00PM Or Time is 3:00:00PM Or Time is 4:00:00PM Or Time is 5:00:00PM Or Time is 6:00:00PM Or Time is 7:00:00PM Or Time is 8:00:00PM Or Time is 9:00:00PM Or Time is 10:00:00PM Or Time is 11:00:00PM Or Time is 12:00:00PM ] And $sMotionOff is 1 Then

No. It's a dynamic and constantly changing list. There are more selections than PG2 and many are free and most are only a few bucks. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

It's a secret!

It appears you used Integer variable instead of State variables. Only State variables will trigger programs to run.

How many variables?

Except for the LED strips and BR-30 bulbs, they are all Edison style bulbs, as far as I understand the style. Here is one of the many. These are both WiFi and BT interface. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0948YYG4P/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_4?smid=A3ONNTHJ5O4KNF&psc=1

I use MagicHome protocol bulbs. They require some bridging software which I run inside my polisy, or you can try the MagicHome NS. It was a take-off via another programmer into a NS. They produce good dual white light as well as RGB and typically run about $8 each without any hub required. They come in 5W, 7W and 9W bulbs as well as BR-30 style and LEDenet RGBW strips, and many dual white floor lamps.

Isn't that like MS Windows troubleshooter advising... "if your Network Card isn't functioning go to WWW.xxxxxx.calm for more help"?

We have requested UDI consider program read access to the "init to" values in variables. However, in any case, this should not be happening. For my single variable problem I just extended my variable list to a spare dummy at the end of the list. However I leave no unused variable holes in my variable list. Every variable is labelled, even if not used. My groups of variable functions stay together. Yeah it takes a lot of homework at times.

hmmmm...good point. Likely it would be a problem for dimmers. Some testing would be in order to prove that either way. By the words of the logic it should work but from other experience I think you are correct. With all disabled programs, triggered by another event, you can corral the counting to selected time slots. Possibly using a double condition for the bulbs to test whether it was previously on would work. My lights are mostly WiFi now and I use variables that determine their current setting requests so the count would be easy. AS an alternative one could use a flag for each bulb and then just count the flags on the fly. That would convert the analogue values of the bulbs to a binary function,.... Off or Not Off.

I just use the Program Summary Tab and the click on the [Run at startup] nomenclature in the top label box. That sorts them out by that clicked parameter, and the programs involved are all found at the top of the spreadsheet.

Ohhh.. I didn't know that but the lack of testability and no feedback when you attempt it had me perturbed. You just think the program is failing...and it is. After upgrading from ISY994 to polisy I now permanently comment all programs that are disabled and [Run at startup] enabled. I had requested for that flag to be on the program edit page years ago but "Cosmetics 'R Us" has been out of business for a while **SIGH**

Trouble with that is you may never discover if it is needed. I would leave it for manual discovery of the init value failure. Actually you may be able to set up a delay and then examine the running values in order to trigger an automatic value reset. Then you could examine the last run time to determine if it triggered. On second thought, send yourself a notification if it does run.

Try doing a Restore of the IOLinc from your admin console. Sometimes Insteon links get confused with signal noise and/or major updates and Restore should reset the device back to what ISY thinks should be installed.

A few versions back the last variable defined was getting changed to 0 on my system but IIRC, that was corrected and all state variables should be secure again. However the jump to a different O/S may still have some minor bugs in it as UDI had to change to the other endian system and there still could be some quirks hiding. Watch carefully and report results to UDI. They will want to know about it.

Leave it to UDI to get their users a discount !!!!

My ISY994 took about 3-4 minutes to backup and going to polisy it was about half that. Now I cannot compare to that as I started over, with a much smaller system.

Just be aware that enabling or disabling programs, whether in a folder or by program list, will cause the programs to stop mid-stream and not complete their missions. You may have devices still turned on or off and variables set to values not wanted.

I don't think you need to run the next program in each case. The statuses will be self triggering each program. Something like this should work. If 'Downstairs / Stairs' Status is not Off Then $Num_Lights_On += 1 Else $Num_Lights_On -= 1

RPi was considered but the royalties on it's usage were prohibitive, apparently. RPi runs on SD card storage which tends to fail as the SD cards have limited read/write capabilities. Also. power failures tend to leave unwritten data on memory cards, due to slow EEROM writing processes.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to turn on a selected number of lights based on a variable quantity? If so how would ISY know which lights you want? Post your programs so people can get clarification of what you are trying to accomplish.

Nice! That model was on my list but I decided to stick with a more common one. The main deal-breaker was the spool compartment wouldn't take 1kg spools. Unfortunately, the supplied instructions with mine for auto-leveling were confusing due to language translation and not up to date with all the latest gadgets they put on them now and I ripped the PEI off the flexible plate, badly. They sent me a new PEI plate but it is very smooth and I haven't tried it yet. I am envious of the WiFi. I have to use SD cards to transfer the files but many are recommending to use a spare RPi with USB to achieve that. Now to become proficient with the slicer and learn a 3D CAD program to design my own.
