For my NRs, I just loaded each one, individually, and then saved them again, as if I have done an edit. It seems they were not hooked into the main engine somehow and re-saving them did so.

I find mine in various places. One of the most obscure spots is I think Windows grabs it and installs it under ISY in your Win 10 start menu. I hate "we did you a favour" stuff.

I was hoping there would be some movement on caching variable substitution values simultaneously so that old values do not get used for following NR invoked with new variable values. My quick testing showed multiple sends with old values when quick sends are done without 2-3 seconds between each. This feature would be nice to eliminate some popcorn effects with shared NRs between multiple devices. eg: send NR MagicHome.setLevels set NRb.rgb = $cHUE.RED <----- values all changed using variable substitutions set NRb.RGBlevel = 100 set NRb.WWlevel = 0 send NR MagicHome.setLevels <-------- same NR used for dozens of devices sends the old values twice instead of the new values. RED, 100%, 0% Caching the variable substitutions at the same time as the NR invocation would resolve this, eliminating many NRs for each device, and eliminate many popcorn lighting effects. Any progress with this? Thanks!

Thanks. I never need to shut the dryer off (finished monitoring only) but I need both for the washing machine (finish notification, and water leak detection shutoff). I see this unit is a 500 series. Is there much difference between a 500 and 700 series? These would be the first repeater points out of my polisy SiLab 700 dongle so I want a decent repeater function also.

I found the same version mismatch after clearing cache etc. Despite java cache clearing the version mismatch wouldn't go away. It would automatically close each time giving no ISY access. I found my polyglot not connecting and needing new credentials. Maybe I didn't wait long enough for ISY to reboot properly yet, but I still after a few minutes I received all my rebooted notifications via SMS and email, so ISY was running. after many retries and java cache clearing I tried SSH into polisy and... sudo reboot then after about 6-8 minutes, all was well again and all connected again. How do I load the ISY Launcher? All I can ever get is the ISY Finder and the polisy Administrative Console (Which is also the ISY Finder??) after the java cache clear deletes the ISY Launcher app.

Thanx Asbril! I don't think I want a "smart receptacle" depending on how you define the "smart". I want a load monitoring receptacle to monitor when the washer or dryer has stopped that automatically updates ISY with the load amount, or detected load (on/Off status, only like a SynchroLinc does. When you posted "smart like X10" I think of a receptacle or plug-in that can detect the lamp switch and turn on the receptacle or X10 device automatically. The automatic turn on is not wanted, in my case.

Lack of devices (connectors, cables, routers, switches, power supplies) between your NSs and ISY programs.

aartech.ca = No ETA

This sounds like, and logically makes sense, that using a 300 series devices would be typically OK as the 700 series devices would repeat it at higher speeds. (IOW: at the far outreaches of the mesh might be OK) Is there any docs that can confirm and explain this further? On a side topic: I am looking for a 700 series receptacle that can repeat signals well (would be closest to my SiLabs Zwave dongle) and also send load information back to polisy for washer and dryer finish detection. Any suggestions? I am not sure where to start.

@brians BTW: To ping another person you need to use the @ and their name, but also select their name from the falldown menu, or it is just plain text with no ping. The result should be a reverse video font, as shown above.

To put it another way: Program timers are retriggerable and each heartbeat received retriggers the Wait 25 hours timer so the notification line never executes. I add a loop on my heartbeat watchdog programs at the bottom, so they test again in 25 hours. My notification states that it may be a low battery or just a missed signal so as not to cause any panic. My LD under my dishwasher has missed heartbeats about once per year. If I never get the second one, I just ignore it. BTW: Most use two lines to trigger If heartbeat is switched ON OR heartbeat is switched OFF Some LDs (maybe all?) send alternating signals every 24 hours.

Awesome! I am sitting about the same spot as you are Zwave wise. Although, I have a dozen Zwave inline power plugs that I inherited in another deal but I believe they are all series 300 devices. I am not sure how I would tell except they require polling to access load information. May become useless for me as I don;t want to develop so many ISY programs to keep the protocol traffic limited to critical times abased on who knows what for triggers. When did a daughter board ever become a "dongle"? I always thought part of that portmanteau word was "dangle" meaning it hung off the back of a USB port, or cable., outside of the main device.

A question for you. What kind of distance range are you getting from these devices to the hub?

IIRC PoE puts a high voltage (30-60v) bias on the extra conductors. Not sure how this would work on Gbit Ethernet but IIRC the high voltage gets away with the electrical codes, staying under 48-60v wiring code, and likely would not load the lines down to derate the DC-decoupled, phase shifted signals too badly. The higher voltages mean less current would be drawn (= less voltage drop in the conductors) and keeps the impedance of the source and loads higher.

Polisy with a USB Zwave dongle ( I use the SiLabs 700 dongle as it is reported upgradeable) and an Insteon USB dongle or your existing serial PLM for now.

Equipment closets need huge ventilation. My routers would crash when a Tag placed on top of them at 45 C with several 2.5" holes and muffin fans forcing air through. Outside the cabinet and vertical mounting solved that problem for a few years.

I use a VR headset and it uses 1200 Mbps via WiFi. When I connect to a PC via a 15' long USB extension cord and it's microUSB 6' cord the bandwidth is fine. However the 15' USB extension was rated very heavy duty with 16Ga power runs and all shielded twisted pairs for data etc. The size of the cable reflects that.

In that case try some high grade alcohol (not the drinking kind ). Isopropropeline?, or isopropyl alcohol with a Q-tip swap and wipe the gold contacts firmly to wipe away any oxides. Make sure it is dry and then insert it again. The rubbing alcohol sometimes contains some oils to avoid drying your skin and the oil would not be a good thing.

IIRC you can put a larger SD card in anywhere as long as you format it inside the ISY, it will only take as much as it can address in it's limited FAT table. The rest will just be wasted. May be worth a try until you can get a new 32 GB SD card.

SMS comes through when they get spare bandwidth. It was designed that way and offered free upon conception. We are all familiar with instant responses and message speed bu in the past year or so I have found the same thing, and nothing to do with ISY sending, but from other sources.

I never found any of the NOOBS o/ses worked with anything. They were always missing components of the O/Sytems and every bit of advice from others never worked for one reason or another. I completely wrote my RPis off, after a year or two of frustration, rebuilding them many, many times. About a year later, I downloaded a proper image of Debian, or whatever the latest O/S was at the time, and things just started to work properly. I don't touch the NOOBs installation any more. My PG1 and PG2 worked just fine with all my RPis until I ported over to polisy.

Oh yeah. I guess I have it backwards. I was thinking the smaller spec number was the length of the barrel. Only the last few months I have discovered it is OD / ID. Now I agree with your earlier statement. doh! Thanks for the wake-up.

...or the other way around? Too bad they make two different barrel connectors so similar in size. IIRC I have been caught on that one elsewhere.

Awesome! Make sure you mark it well or toss it, cut the cord off or whatever after a proofing period.

Yeah...sort of right but what is in the pipe? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
