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

Yes, definitely but only one program will trigger Then at any given time. With multitasking processing these days they may appear simultaneous to a human, though. In any one program, only one trigger will ever cause evaluation of the If section logic at any time. While one control/switched statement causes evaluation, any other control / switched statement will be False. Thus Status condition statements are born. Status can act like a combination of event trigger and static condition from the same condition line....provided the program is NOT disabled. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

it works with one or two state variables but not with two device controls / switched, and will always run Else. Two devices switched can never be True at the same time in ISY logic. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Thanks! I had a further thought that could be a side effect of the endian switch in option bits and I just got caught violating your no-restore ISY/polisy recommendations. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
