Since my ISY994 was always called 'icy' by me here my new polisy is now being called 'pole icy'. That diffentiates it from policy and stops it from sounding 'hissy' Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

ISY has logging capabilities itself built in to it's own memory. The technique involves notifications and writes to files dictated by the user. There was a thread disclosing the technique, along with a graphing program that can all reside inside ISY written by @MWaremanyears back but I can never find old threads in these forums. I wrote monitoring programs for many HVAC devices and discovered many problems in my own ISY HVAC programs using this technique. Sorry I cannot find the thread right now and so vague on information.

I saw the dual and/to arbitration setting for dual ISY polisy situation but never attempted to use both. I felt I was past the commit point when I did it, just switched my ISY off and later deleted it from ISY Portal. Most of my Alexa vocals are for lighting levels and colour anyway and they were easy to switch over and test. I still have a few vocal varieties that have not been implemented yet. Every few days I find some other alternate lighting vocal missing from my selections.

I haven't found any instabilities in polISY yet. However I have found features not functioning somewhat and some not at all. I believe most of this have been brought up to 99% with the latest release but have not been local to my polisy to loading test that release yet. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

All dependent on much you watch the news stations. I still do not personally know anybody that had the disease. I have heard many stating they already had COVID-19 a year before it broke out though. However we still follow all the rules as best we can. Mexican resort does it's due diligence but doesn't really enforce strict rules in some places. Many cultures from around the world see things differently. It can be tough distancing. Wrist temperatures are scanned at each restaurant entrance. Funny thing about that is some people, on forums, were freaking out about being tracked via scans of your level (not likely tagged/chipped) bracelet. The answer was...don't offer that wrist for scanning. Imagination is a powerful tool. Back on topic: What do I do with a 256GB iPad that could not be OS updated and now refuses to run apps it was purchased with a few years ago? Consider the cost of the 300 Zwave board a rental at $0.0x per month and now the term is up.

Personally, I would get USB PLM and a polisy and start porting over. ISY / polisy is working quite well now. Much to go but workable for most intents. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I typically use one program that senses problems and decides whether a notification is justified based on more criteria. Then I call another xxxx.notification program that would check if I am on vacation or not. As an example I might make my Alexa boxes say some warning and also send an SMS and an email with the warning on a four or 24 hour basis. If I am on vacation I may only send one notice or only one repeat notification every few days or every week. Getting too many notifications on vacations is disruptive.

Would those be useful to use as Hotspot for mobile backup or central WAN connections? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Away for another two weeks glued to pool and tropical drinks. Can't test run for another two weeks. [emoji22] [emoji22] Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

UD Mobile works just fine with my polisy/ISY however the thread subject is not about the ISY portal connections.

Did you use https://ISYipAdress:8843 ^ or just http://ISYipAdress:8843 ?

polisy watches your ISY event and data stream so it can provide node servers for nonInsteon style devices, if the user installs any. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

That was my thoughts exactly also. To further simplify, many of the Or brackets can now be removed and the multiple condition date logics use the same technique as the single line filters to end up with a 7 or 8 line program. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Looks like you have a good grip on D'Morgan's theory but the reverse logic appears to make it appear more complicated. Good usage of parenthesis IMHO as they are also for readability, not just the Boolean arithmetic. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

There may be the unshielded RPi case vs the full metal jacket polisy factor there too. The option of getting my Zwave into the more middle of the house appeals to me, though. This is compared to the PLM which is best close to the electrical panel for best powerline centering. Gives a whole new meaning to finding a "sweet spot". The USB PLM comes to mind also. Now the polisy wouldn't have to be so close to the PLM either, on a decent USB extension.

Nice! and thanks! Have you discovered which is the correct model required? Upward connector, or Downward connector, or is there no way to tell? The pictures are not giving any of the definition away AFAICT. I think I may go with a short USB extension cord so I can pin the antenna/dongle on a wall or coathanger fabricated "display stand" away for a dense surface wall.

Mine wasn't either but the freeBSD timezone was never set permanently and properly and ISY kept reinstalling the system timezone back to LA.. At least being in the right timezone wasn't off by 3 hours here. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Battery operated devices will echo through any dual band Insteon device they can find, but typically the device must be within about 20-30 feet. YMMV. If you have a spare dual-band plug-in module you could try plugging it in in various receptacles close to your battery devices and see if a restore can allow them to be controlled again. You may just have something creating a huge RF noise in your home that jamms all the signals.

I posted a link to a website with instructions to fix the system time zone in freeBSD a few posts back. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

That sounds use you moved or lost the dual band device that was receiving the rf signals from your battery operated devices, and/or got some new line noise blocking your powerline only devices, like IOlincs. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

There is an ISY enable switch in the admin console Configuration tab. ooops. already covered above. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
