Nice! With built in hysteresis. However the cycle time can still be interupted by the sensing programs. Using variables this doesn't happen, depending on program setup. Also, I wouldn't think Prgm 1 would never test false, once it is disabled and therefore cycling program would never stop or get triggered again based on Prgrm 1 until Prgrm 2 allowed it and then after the humidity changed. That may never happen for a long time. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Variables isolate the sensing from the responses very well and allows users to avoid all the 'disable sensing program's that lock up more often than I would like. Invariably, about 2-3 times per year I find some program disabled in error, which stops some process ISY should be handling. Variable usage is a much more reliable method.

Yeah, I got stuck with that aluminum wiring in one house, years back. Bad stuff back then but it is still approved here and has better connections to make it work. The brittle factor was never resolved and I would avoid it like the plague now...hmmmm maybe pandemic now? The electrical distribution grids still use aluminum mostly now. ACSR = aluminum conductors, steel reinforced. A few strands of steel down the middle for strength and aluminum outside strands, where the higher currents travel, anyway.

Hope amazon learns something out of their greedt data information gathering. Don't try to make the whole world based on one central PC/server. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

In Ontario, the electrical grid avoids any Internet reliance. They have all their own networks involving dry loop copper pair and dry loop Fibre optic strands in later years. Any Internet connections pass through many firewalls and are still totally isolated from any electrical grid systems or communications. Fibre optics do require reamplification every x km but are never combined into the same boxes with web things. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Excellent lesson for users to enjoy cloud services but never become fully dependent on them. That is why ISY supports OR logic. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Just a joke but knob and tube has been outlawed in Canada now. No more maintenance or further installation. You touch it...you take it out. Mostly insurance company enforced. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

What kind of solenoids do you use to operate the mechanical pushbuttons for your knob and tube style lightswitches? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

No. Your linked document was full of forum junk AFaICT. In your admin console, right click on the program name and select 'copy to clipboard' ,and then paste it into your post so people can critique it and help you out. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

I was thinking of moving to Europe so my lightswitches look more normal again. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

You don't lose any programming. However you may have to patch some programs that don't convert exactly. Those are all marked in yellow and the lines that didn't convert are commented out, with their device numbers and operators that didn't convert, so the user can patch them back to the correct syntax. A similar things happens to Insteon scenes as some of the devices may not have made the jump.

Or they could just put an embargo on us for anything electronic, like ICs to cripple our economies. Wait!... hmmmmmm...never mind, I have to order a newer Model A Ford.

NR: What am I missing? If you did a restore from your ISY backup each NR needs to be loaded and saved again or it isn't linked into the system yet. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Your new USB PLM can be reassembled and used for your new polisy, if and when you make the jump. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Yes. no access to my ISY right now but. If Wednesday and day of month >= 15 and day of month less than or equal to 21 Then it's the third Wednesday of the month I would use my technique using created variables to do the same easier. $sISY.MM.DD This technique was posted a few years ago.

Begs the question. I wonder if anybody could procure the daughter boards from Insteon for a decent price ? My guess is no as Insteon seems to be trying to kill any sales or progress for the company until death do us part. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Yeah, and now polisy doesn't need to have major firmware. I am sure there is still some for booting. Polisy has an SSD which can load software into RAM as any computer can now so the firmware designation becomes improper also. Integer? I see your floating point there.

The problem here is that ISY994 was a combination piece of hardware containing a piece of software initially, and now the software and hardware are parting ways. The trouble now is that users are arbitrarily trying to assign names (to hardware and software) that previously belonged to a combination box. None of them is currently definitive and a bend of the de facto and already established definitions. UDI has been the creator of this naming confusion and will be the only arbitrator and resolver of this, in the end. The rest is just semantics among users until then and definitions are not clear.

Now we need to stop Home Assistant people from using the previously taken by Home Automation acronym, 'HA' hmmmm... maybe use 'Ho A$$' instead?

It was always an ISY994xxxx. ISY was a token nickname. 994i was never anything but a suffix. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

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
