If I read it correctly, the new owners bought Insteon while Smartlabs still exists and was never for sale or in trouble. I don't know the twisted corporate tree structure here, but who knows in this world, these days? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Will the load work from a remote location via signals? If so, then some contact cleaner shot down the throat of that switch may clean up the contacts and make it work again.

Just my own NRbridge that translates NR commands to MagicHome RGBW bulb and led strip signals. That includes a keepalive thread that polls bulbs every few minutes each. Only running about 8 devices now. Previously (old home) about 50 devices without problem. New router and AP for WiFi delivery since move. Installed inside polisy again also. Polisy hard wired to router. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I believe this may be centered around my software also running on polisy. Previously, it seemed to be a problem running under polisy O/S and I moved it back to an RPi again where it has ran without problem for a few years. I suspect it could be related to a different python 3 implementation under freeBSD, and/or a threaded keepalive task running. I need to implement a logging system to record operation successes and failures, if any, so that I can zoom in on this. Hiccoughs have been very rare...maybe once every few months. I do have a SiLabs ZWave stick plugged into polisy, unused at this time, also. WE do seem to get a lot of power blinks, early in the mornings here, so I may watch those times more closely. Just as an aside my lat/long produces a sunrise about 20 minutes later than actual. However I am 26 floors up and that may be the reason. No the earth isn't flat!

No. RPi is gone, PG2 is gone, IoP programs started fresh, only a few devices connected, NRbridge software moved from RPi to polisy and using :localhost URL via NRs, new lat/long, new ISP. This happened after a power blink that morning. Seems to be a polisy power up sequence problem...maybe.

Yeah, but for the second time now I am contemplating going back to ISY994. Too many bugs and lockups on IoP. Had another one last night where my NRbridge firmware driving my MagicHome lights would not operate some RGBW strings after a power blink. Still not up quite to par with ISY994 and a RPi, unfortunately, at least the way I use it.

Too many "irons in the fire"?

May be geek vs. user advice.

What are you using to bridge ISY to it? NS, NR?

Getting the "busy text box" in your admin console?

All Insteon devices have a factory reset method. They are complex CPU based devices and can get goofy at times. Always, always factory reset new Insteon devices before linking them into ISY to avoid many hidden problems. They come out of the factory in many unknown states.

Most of the time you have to at least reload the admin console. Most of the setup is a load with boot-up thing. Admin console is not dynamic in many cases.

Mine did a similar thing but I can't remember what I had to do. I did have to reinstall the PIN key into the ecobee website setup. The first one took OK and then failed right after for some reason. With mine I deleted PG2 ecobee NS as I moved. New stat and new PG3 install. Not sure if that made any difference. Check the ecobee NS logs. IIRC I had several PIN rejected lines inside the log.

If you have good backups (IoP and PG3) , you could factory reset your polisy and re-install. Open a ticket with UDI. They may have some techniques to sniff your password. Your port address may have changed or be forgotten.

You don't upgrade PG2. It is not supported any more. Stay as you are or upgrade to PG3.

Yup cloud dependence is awesome and easy... ...until it isn't. Roger's seems to be back up again. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Most advice is to never use automatic lighting in staircases. It is dangerous, as the sudden darkness makes people freeze and they can fall down the stairs from the sensory/brain confusion it causes.

IoP admin console doesn't display/load Notification Menu @Michel Kohanim The custom notifications menu is always blank until a notification is edited and then updates. This happens each time the admin console is loaded.

The forum needs a sticky (permanently at the top) thread with announcements for new features only from our fearless leader(s), so that user stay informed of recent upgrades and avoid some of the new feature confusion in the forum as well as lower the WTF? traffic here. Sort of like a digital Vatican balcony? Thanks!

Is that the button I didn't know I needed to push because I didn't know there was one?

"Don't use SSH anymore to update"? ..but it is so much simpler and I gave up on clicking that hard to find reset button. I don't think it every worked properly on my Polisy, yet. I cannot tell if it is pushed or not. Blindly pushing a metal object into a hole is not a good thing. I have never been sure there is even a PB back there.

Although I have a few Zwave devices and a SiLabs 700 dongle, I have been trying avoid a Zwave system after hearing so many negatives in forums. I may have to push myself some day but after downsizing my home (severely) I have boxes of Insteon devices right now and not much need for new gadgets. WiFi has been taking over for lighting here. I just threw out almost a dozen Zwave receptacles I inherited. I think they may have been series 300 units, and more terrible UI , so far. I was previously looking forward to moving to Zwave but they really don't seem forward now. My experiences so far has been like going back to the 1980s with X10.

Never heard that before. However I have about 10 LDs with no usage for them anymore and need a door detector to detect entry and exit direction, along with an MS.

I just purchased a Door/ Window sensor from Amazon.ca. Surprised they would still have some stock yet. Was thinking somebody might trade me one for leak detectors. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
