  1. You could make a list of the dates you want it to trigger on in your If section for the last day of each month, but the OP was asking about once per month. The beginning of each month, or particular date in each month would definitely be much easier to detect. The floating holidays (long weekends) take a second line or ore to detect the day is Monday. You may also note in the program linked to there is a variable $sISY.DayOfMonth that will tell you when it is the 28th, 30th or 31st but you would still need to parse these out for each particular month. As @jec6613 posted above, now that PG3 can be contained in the same box it may be more secure to use the node server but it does require dependence on more cloud services than just the ISY clock. I am not sure if there is a last day of the month flag provided. I have never used other NSs except to test for current technology growth.
  2. I have layed this out several times before. I use it throughout my ISY programming for events that repeat every year. Isolating a monthly change should be quite easy.
  3. Temperature is classically an analogue value. In an iSY program you can add logic lines such as If xx.temperature <= 23 degrees Then set heater On Else -- The result of a tested analogue is a logical status.
  4. Typically, web cams do not make good motion sensors. Cams work on visible light and MSes typically work on iR light which detects less glitches and can be illuminated without blinding humans. Of course the wild animals can be very attracted to the iR light. Many better quality cams have a separate MS sensor to trigger recording.
  5. What's the current count now? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  6. I want my single lightswitch to be able to send the universal codes over the universal protocol to turn on my sound system and tune it to the station I am thinking of today. If music isn't playing right now on that station, I want it to load the vinyl record album of the particular band I was thinking of, drop it on my turntable and play the selected track the lightswitch requested. I mean everything should be compatible using Matter, right? Is everybody dreaming?
  7. 3 of my four ASUS routers worked much better...99% when they weren't overheating, living on a muffin fan. The other one was a manufacturing defect...bad design and ASUS knew it and added more memory without telling or compensating the thousands of already owners. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  8. After four different ASUS routers I found they do not properly reboot with the reset button or software reset for certain problems. Try the power cycle method with a good 5-10 seconds of off time. You may want to power cycle your polisy at the same time allowing plenty of time after the router stabilises. BTW: Check you posted IP address. IIRC: The 192.168.50.x subnet was only for the initial factory reset of some ASUS routers. I would change that to the 192.168.0.x subnet or you may be in for a world of pain with your whole house of devices.
  9. Open a support ticket with UDI. Michel will get you sorted out. I had similar problems way back and it always seemed to me some files were located in directories with locked out permissions because they wouldn't stay.
  10. I do the same thing with my Magichome bulbs and LED strips. However I do not know what the drivers look like you are using as I use my own bridge software. With my software I use NR commands to send the colour, brightness levels and a list of bulbs I want affected and my NRbridge software distributes the commands to the appropriate bulbs. All my Alexa commands operate programs and the ISY programs control all the levels and colours. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  11. Save that for the second or third time you get caught on the same thing. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  12. That is a lot of steps to BC. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  13. Most just need to have their link button tapped once the sensing pads have been dried off. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  14. The EIA232 spec defines the 8 pin RJ45 connector as an RS232D standard hardware since 1990? http://www.interfacebus.com/Design_Connector_RS232.html The RJ45 connector is very commonly used in serial ports for larger data equipment where space is a premium. This makes the Ethetnet cables useful for both applications. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  15. PLM uses an RJ45 plug but it was always only serial port using TTL logic signal levels. Polisy's serial port is not using that hardware configuration. You will need the serial cable that come with the PLM.
  16. 75% of my Ethernet devices do not support manual IP address selection now. I guess those devices could never be used on a complex commercial LAN. These day we have computers and programs to do the tasks humans do not want to do. There are also courses on how to set up DHCP servers properly. On a small system with less than 2-4 devices I could understand not wanting to bother with the complexity of setting up a DHCP server properly. There will always be situations that bypassing current technology could apply but there is usually somebody working on power steering and rustproofing iron. OTH: Insteon addressing is static and permanently assigned without only the factory as a manager, but it is not a publicly accessible system....yet.
  17. With all that experience it should be simple for you to understand how to make use of a DHCP server IP reservation table to meet your needs. Not many want to keep track and manage IP address tables and risk the confusion that usually follows, trying to swim upstream against the crowd. We have seen too many cases of IP entanglement from users here.
  18. There is no blocking of SSH on my two polisies using v5.5.0. I don't know where somebody would have imagined that idea.
  19. Configure all IP address control in your router where it should have always been done. ISY doesn't need a static IP address capability, in this decade.
  20. Did you do the patch to the update script before running the Update? I don't know why UDI keeps letting users fall into this trap and hasn't fixed it for future update paople. It is a cloud based update.
  21. Sounds like you still have the old IoX launcher. Did you delete all traces of the IoX launcher and then clear your java? I have found the new version shows up in various places on Win 10 and Win 11. Sometimes it shows up in your Downloads folder. Sometimes only on your Start menu lists. Sometimes I could never find it. It is very inconsistent with different installations of Windows.
  22. Try finding your noise makers that may be interfering with your Insteon signals. Garage door openers were my problem and became very obvious when I installed a second unit containing battery backup. In fact that one crippled all my Insteon signals until I unplugged it. A FilterLinc on each GDO resolved that problem with my KPL.
  23. Do you know how to use SSH on a PC to connect with your polisy? Do you know your polisy's IP and port address?
  24. The "pkg" updater that should have been included to update at the beginning of the script was forgotten. I guess they haven't fixed the script yet. Run the updater and update pkg first then try your updater click option in admin console again
