No. During my backup ISY and Restore same image to Polisy, all units had their contact options set to momentary, not at continuous as they were left, and being used in ISY. Polisy showed continuous, in all status page cases (4) but when each unit was queried the option switched to Momentary. Each option was corrected to Continuous and has appeared to stay. Something in the cross backup/restore coding. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

@Michel KohanimToday I found all four of my IOLincs set to momentary outputs instead of latching, as was selected after my ISY backup Restore into polisy. This was found due to my buzzLinc (thanks Stu for the IOlinc with beeper taped to the front) I use for home security alerts and warnings of alarm time on as well as entrance zone violation warning timing. Insted of leaving and returning bepping for 45 seconds it only beeped for the momentary 0.5 seconds each. No program errors could be found but the "options" wer found to be set Momentary. Check three other IOLincs they were also set toe Momentary instead of Latched. Possible logic state reversal in polisy to ISY fro IOLincs?

Always mark your humour, especially sarcasm, in a text only medium. People can't see the big smile on your face no matter how obvious it seems to the originator. It can avoid a lot of friction and hard feelings. Many cultures and backgrounds here, interpret things differently, and many are showing signs of pandemic long term stress (been a huge problem in my home at times, also). All the best!!

LOL! Well, there is that too. Doesn't the voice training of Alexa help that aspect any? I have refused to do it but it has figured out which of the three of us are talking now and addresses us by name, many times. (despite never setting this up. They are getting worse than google for second guessing everything with their artificial guessing) Now I know where all the money goes though.

Yes, definitely depends on your culture (previous experience) and tastes. With about 160 Alexa commands I cannot imagine even starting to use a control panel. Using a mobile app, it takes mt 2-3 minutes to get through 8 levels of menus to even find a device. How does a control panel cover 15 different colours in three rooms? It just sounds like a lot of overcomplicated clutter on any screen less that 80" diagonal to me.

Many of us wanted the same thing but once smart voice boxes, like Echo and Google Home come out they feel obsolete now. The combinations of what they can respond to is almost unlimited and much easier that getting and walking to a control panel that is beside you real wall switches.

@MWaremanSo far this seems to have worker for an approximate timezone setting. Whether it stays until @Michel Kohanim get it fixed on a more accurate location remains to be seen. You have to know the exact file pathname to your timezone to make the commands work. https://www.itbroker.com/set-the-timezone-in-freebsd/

I have used a few different brands of stats over decades and have to agree that evobee stats have the best features and stability. Compared to others they seem to understand what a thermostat needs to do when it comes to user features and things like multiple scenarios that you don't have to edit every time you switch from heat to a/c and back. User programmable comfort settings up to about ten with dual a/c and heating tables that ISY can switch around easily without ever knowing a single temperature. Accuracy to 0.1 degree but only 0.5 c display. When your temp needs to go under a full degree before it kicks in and you have a big bandwidth between cool and heat that 4 to 5 degree fluctuation can cause a lot of discomfort. User security locks with variable limits. Highly recommended. evobee has their ship together. Two of my sons got into the Nest and after fighting with all their AI fakery they both disabled all that stuff anyway. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Venstar is the only stat that I am aware f that does a local API (application interface). All other are cloud based. However, cloud based is not a real big hurdle as the stat looks after itself and most of the cloud connection is about tweaking the settings, and monitoring to control other devices based on that. All stats require a Node Server as a bridge between ISY and some cloud interface, except for the Insteon stats but I wouldn't trust my system to one of those. I have two and if you don't mind large temperature swings, and overshoot temperatures, upon recovery, on of those could be your easiest. Now I am not sure how well they handle a heat-pump with it's backup heat source handling etc,,

Check the top of your admin console and see if you are located in LA Cal. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

No UDI product supports the Insteon Hub AFAIK.

Manual entry is best. I did restore from an ISY backup and got all my programs and variable names in but every single element has to be checked, Insteon devices all reiadded (and then restored to dump old links) and programs re-linked in, variable values endian fixed and NR loaded and resaved. It got my system cloned but about two days work of work. 500 programs, 500 variables.

That term confuses me a lot. I understood NRs were only passive to be called by programs. Does this mean NRs can be self triggering? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

No dongle but an internal Zwave card. As I have read here, if you have a green LED sticking out of the case (on back?) you have the 300 version.

V1 is gone V2 is current V3 is coming and requires a polisy.

The 1011 in green indicates the device is online but there is binary data waiting to be written to the device. In Insteon devices this is typically because the device is a battery operated one and the data cannot be written until the device is manually place in Linking mode. I don't know about Zwave but, this is not a bug, but rather a feature of the admin console indicating several factors the user needs to correct or be aware of.

Find the release announcement thread in the forum. Download the correct image, depending on whether you have a PLM connected or not. In your admin console use the pulldown menu Help and select upgrade manually. Backup when indicated and then OK. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

3. /isy/ is locked permission. I cannot access this file or directory When using sudo, /FILES/ does not exist

The time zone at the top of the admin console changes back to LA Cal. Then program events in the summary tab and variables all show last run / modified based on the LA times.

Grrrrrrrrr..... My timezone, along with sunset and sunrise times, and event times shown for programs and variables just reverted back to LA again.

I have been using variable substitution in the URL portion for years now. My WiFi lights live off them. 4 NRs do my 35 WiFi lights. Trouble is you can only use the same NR with at least one second of Wait between each calling. ISY does the substitution at send time, not at creation time and will use the second variable values for the first NR send. IOW two rapid uses of the same NR may both send the same latest values, not what was asked for.

57 NRs. I only use about half due to NSes, and bulbs styles not used anymore. 498 programs 356 Integer variables 219 state variables Doing it again it would have went much faster. I did a restore from ISY backup. Load every program, NR and store them back again. Each device had to to linked and then a restore removed the old PLM links for each device. Variables had the big endian vs little endian problems. Divide large values by 256^3 and add 256 if negative. I have a about 15 MS 1s and 5 LDs that needed manually linking in high and concealed places. Very time consuming.

I found every NR needed to be loaded into edit mode and then saved again or they just didn't function. It was like polisy just loaded them all but none registered for usage.

I get this most times when I first login. The next logins work fine after inserting my ISY creds. Later the same thing happens again. I will recheck this later and tomorrow to see if it forgets again.
