aartech.ca has this alternative on sale right now for only $1149 CAD. Sale ends tomorrow and it goes back up to $1378.62 CAD. It should perform as well as a polisy pro. You may need to add some I/O to it to make it work with your HA system. HomeSeer Pro

Yup. My routines started working again overnight now.

Same problem with routines again. Triggers from ISY go all the way through to display the change of state in the alexa app but the routines are not triggering like they did a week ago. Something set the alexa routines into misbehaving again. Last time amazon had to correct something but it seems the disconnection broke the Routine triggering again. Routines have been checked as still all enabled, tested for voice output from the manual trigger, and trigger point tested from ISY. Must be something that breaks the Routine internal logic. UPDATE: Routines began working many hours later. Rebuilding them, and dis/enabling them, did nothing but sometime in the middle of the night they repaired themselves.

Mine came back by itself except that I disabled the skill and it had to be re-enabled again. Routines will likely have to be re-enabled after pseudo devices went MIA. Thanks @bmercier

Mine came back up and reconnected by itself. However I had to reconnect my ISY Portal and amazon account skill again after the bad advice amazon app gave. hmmmm...routines likely need rebuilding and enabling again.

@bmercier Same here. ISY Portal server must have crashed.

@Michel Kohanim Nothing. ISY Portal has crashed.

No. The box contained about 40 Insteon devices. When I first grabbed the device to unplug it from the chain of OnOff modules it seemed totally intact. When I attempted to pull it out of the receptacle less than about 1/8" it shattered between every plug pin. As I began to wiggle it, in order to reduce further damage the device let go inside on all mounts and the electronics began to expose themselves as the device split apart. At that point I realised it was going to be garbage and pulled harder. I have been storing spare devices like this for years. Never happened before but maybe I need to examine the rest (and maybe lube the pins before putting any back into storage). I need to reduce my spare parts storage and this seems like it would serve that need well. *SIGH* If this was due to shock of some kind, then somebody hit it directly with a hammer. It shattered like glass when I pulled on it.

It was existing from Win 10. Still sounds like his problem though. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Yeah but...new company and I wouldn;t hold old devices against them. I want them to succeed, either way. I have never had one do this before. This one just disintegrated in my hand as I pulled it out of the other Insteon device. First it fractured between all the plug pins and then as I tried to not fracture any more it pulled apart as all the mounting pins broke apart. I remember Teken posted about this a few years ago and found it hard to believe. Hopefully it was just one production run of some cheap plastic.

I hope they improve the designs, all the way around. I just this got unit out of a storage box, never been used, but was plugged into another device in the storage box. It has never seen UV or heat. I am just glad it was not alive while I tried to wiggle it out of the other device's receptacle. Plastic broke in about 8 places, between AC plug pins and mounts of the electronics inside. Never seen service and now garbage. @Tekenwas right on the money. Insteon found another way to make them cheaper. Glad that guy is gone.

Java is likely one of the most popular programming languages in the world still. I doubt you will see UDI move away from java. There would be no advantage. The admin console runs in java and is not related to, or use, any browser. Your java firewall is likely blocking it from running freely and will need to have permissions installed to allow the admin console to run. There is a security tab in the java setup app, found in your Windows Control Panel Browsers use javascript language. The two are not similar or related.

Why do you want a Pro version?

Not on your Desktop. It would be found in your "Downloaded Documents" folder and I doubt it is java. The admin console will be java after the downloaded app loads it.

This process becomes more crytic and hidden every improvement of Windows and ISY. Gives users something to do. For windows 11 here is what I had to do. Run the URL from your posted step 4 above. Select "Save File" from the options. This will create a file called "start.jnlp" in you downloaded files folder in Windows 11. I have my "Downloaded Documents" moved to my Desktop. I hate Windows always attempting to hide everything. The icon will be some unfamiliar avatar you may have never seen before. Click your "Start" button on your task bar. Select "All apps" on top right corner. Now search down through your app list for "IoX". Right click on it, select "More", and "pin to taskbar" Now you should have the familiar icon/avatar show up on your taskbar for easy launch of the new renamed "IoX" = ISY launcher.

I don't think polisy and the z-matter board go together???? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

...I have two ISYs and now two policies now and they are all going obsolete due to loss of hardware availability. The polisy boxes still have software bugs yet also. * sigh* Now a new hardware box is being released shortly again. Who ya' gonna call? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I had at least one sun dependent program fail to run and when I examined my a/c I found my clock out four hours and my sunset/rise times out about 1-2 hours. I power cycled my polisy, reloaded my a/c and the errors would not change. Ran the firmware update and still had a clock that would correct itself for a while and then jump back four hours again later. Clock would correct itself each time the co-ordinates were edited slightly and saved. The next day everything was back to normal. Began to think I imagined the whole thing but my sunset based deck lighting failed for sure. All works like normal again????

It isn't the communications between ISY and the Amazon app. It is the internal software inside the amazon software that wouldn't trigger the routines. As in the past, several of us demonstrated that the pseudo MS point was being fully activated inside the Alexa software. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Google? You mean every user of Matter will paying a subscription fee within 5 years after we are all hooked? I wonder how they can make my RGBW lighting advertise? They can't talk or display text.

...or Insteon could create a PLM that could only talk Matter to our ISY boxes. UDI takes another step in isolation from Insteon prevention? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

V5.4.4 Daylight savings. My IoP has reverted to standard time with errors that will not go away. The displayed time in the admin console jumps backward 4 hours but corrects itself after the location is jogged by updating to the same location. Now my sunrise is too early by one hour and my sunset is too early by two hours. Thus happened on Sunday after the time change. Sun based time triggers have failed. These times have been working correctly since the DST time change in spring 2022. I have rebooted and power cycled polisy several times without any success in clearing this. UPDATE: This cleared up the next day when I opened the admin console again. I could not get the times to correct themselves no matter what i tried the first day.

The sensor and your time frame condition both attempt to do the same things. Also both conditions act as triggers at the nodes of the conditions. These can cause unexpected results until you understand how that works. Time frame conditions have a status that is true between the two times but also cause triggers of Then at the first line and cause triggers of the Else at the second line.
