Forum Changes?
@Michel Kohanim, Have there been any recent forum changes? I usually run the forum in "condensed" mode. This morning my saved hyperlink opened in "expanded" mode, which displays with too much white space. When I switch back to "condensed" there is no change in the forum. Happy New Year's.

Need to add devices without Admin Console
Shouldn't have to be at the location. Once added to the ISY finder by using "https" you can connect without being onsite.

Try restarting the ISY?

Nodelink is what I would suggest, it works well and is easy to use in programs.

When will PolISY be shipped?
@Michel Kohanim, Hi Michel, First, thanks for the update on ISY/Polisy. Glad to hear you are progressing with moving all of this forward. I would like to suggest you add developing a Mobil app to support Polisy/ISY. While it is true Mobilinc is actively being developed and supported across both Apple and Android versions now, there doesn't appear to be support for Node Servers coming soon. As for Agave, development appears to have stopped and support response slowed, with commitment to have Node Server support soon. Since Node Servers are a big part of UDI's future, access from a Mobil app is important. One example is all of the great weather related Node Servers now available. Thank you for your consideration.

MobiLinc X (iOS/Android) now supports ISY Portal!
Wes, If I understand correctly, if you purchase the all access and connect to ISY portal, you would need to purchase it forceach family member? There is no sharing the family all access?

Siren just a piece of plastic?
If you take the few precautions that have been well documented, the upgrade goes well.

Newbie.. How to control my foscam(s) in ISY
This nodeserver works fine moving a Foscam camera to a preset position. Movement can be controlled by an ISY program. I currently run a camera based on a random time setting. The only requirement is in naming the preset when it is created in the camera. The naming convention must be a number.

How to temporarly disable insteon motion sensor from turning light out when motion is not detected
Just so you know, you can also turn off the option in the motion sensor to turn off the light and use an ISY program to control the off function based on no further motion. The should be an example in the WIKI or the ISY Cookbook.

How to temporarly disable insteon motion sensor from turning light out when motion is not detected
What are you using to turn the switch off? Is it an ISY program or the lack of motion? Either way, you could write a program that disabled the motion sensor or the off program and have it run from the 6 button switch. The down side is having to remember to hit the on portion of switch to enable the program.

Garage door open program made easy?
How about creating a program that disabled the program that turns the lights on if the door is opened during daylight hours? When the door is finally closed, enable the program that turns the lights on.

Outdoor Sensor
This is what I use https://www.guardlinesecurity.com/collections/guardline-outdoor-motion-alerts-wireless-driveway-alarms/products/guardline-500-ft-wireless-driveway-alarm The device works well and a set of batteries last 9 - 12 months. Mine connects to ISY through my Elk alarm, but you could use an IO Link. Rock solid.
-
Is there a difference between programming via ISY and linking with the set button?
When using an ISY you should always pair from the ISY. Link tables are not set up correctly otherwise in the ISY.

Is the Polisy standalone and is it an ISY replacement?
I have to agree with you. It is difficult to make a decision now based on available information. I would like to support UDI, I feel they do a fabulous job, on the other hand, I would also like to take advantage of the discount, but only if it would actually replace the current ISY. More information is definitely needed.
-
What can Polisy do?
I think it would be helpful to understand in detail UDI's intent for the future of the ISY and if Polisy is to be the next ISY, along with a very high level timeline. I understand UDI's hesitation in giving timelines, but some future roadmap would be helpful. While I use nodeserver's, I have no trouble maintaining a Raspberry PI at 2 locations. Would I want to invest in 2 Polisy now, because in the next year or two it will be capable of replacing the ISY, or wait until more is known and loose out on the discount?

Recommendations for my non-tech wife
I have used both Agave and Mobilinc and would suggest trying Agave.

Motion Sensor 2844-222?
Currently, v5 is very stable. I wouldn't get hung up on "beta" at this point.
-
When will the new firmware be released?
I have two ISY's running v5.0.14, both with Elk and have no problems to report.

NodeLink: Raspberry Pi Install Script
I run both without any problems. If you are running headless, you use Putty to sign on to the terminal screen. If you are running the GUI, the Terminal screen is in the menu.

Are there typically Black Friday sales for Insteon devices?
That's a different story........

Smarthome replied promptly and the problem with 2844-222 has been corrected.

Good thing is sale runs until the 25th, so you can think about it a bit longer.
