I used this guide yesterday to migrate from the ISY994 to ISY-Polisy - it was extremely helpful a couple of notes that could be added: under "Migration of Polyglot PG2 to new ISY on Polyglot" - the settings are host: localhost, port: 8080, uncheck HTTPS new section - removal/reinstallation of Cloud Nodeservers (Ring+ISY Portal): This can be done after the migration via the ISY admin panel and my.isy.io Everything appears to be working so far...

I opened up a ticket and got a reply within a couple of hours and the Polyglot-Cloud Dashboard was fixed - what I didn't realize is those two nodeservers (ISY Portal and Ring) can be deleted from the ISY Admin Console and my.isy.io - you don't delete them from the cloud dashboard. So if anyone else is wondering about this - you can remove/reinstall those cloud nodeservers after migrating to ISY-Polisy.

Thanks - I tried that but it is still spinning - one thing I am realizing - I should have probably deleted two cloud nodeservers - the ISY Portal and Ring, before moving from the ISY994 to the Polisy-ISY - any way to delete those after the fact?

I migrated my ISY994 to the ISY-Polisy this morning - Insteon seems to be working but I can seem to delete or re-do a couple of cloud nodeservers because the Polyglot Cloud dashboard spins (it says "loading") forever. I had the ISY Portal and Ring nodeservers associated with my ISY994. The ISY994 is now off-line (unplugged). Any way to fix this by deleting the nodeservers without powering on the ISY994? How do I get access to the dashboard? Edit: I think the problem is that Polyglot Cloud cannot connect to the ISY-Polisy - any ideas on how to fix?

The only way I can think of controlling lights with a Harmony Hub is to use the dedicated smart home buttons on a companion remote to interact with the Hue emulator node server - is there another way to initiate programs via the Harmony Hub? (besides triggering when activities are started and ended?) I would also be interested in IR on the Polisy - has anyone in this forum ever used a Flirc? It is a popular USB IR Receiver for adding IR capabilities to devices such as the FireTV stick, Nvidia Shield, Raspberry Pi and others - it might be a good candidate for supporting on the Polisy.

Thanks for the info. I received the Zooz stick and noticed the clearance problem as well - still waiting on the 2448A7. Some questions - (1) if I manually unenroll my z-wave devices from the ISY994, then enroll them on the ISY-Polisy, then do a restore of the ISY994 backup on the ISY-Polisy, will that blow away the z-wave setup that I just performed? It's not clear to me what will happen regarding z-wave in this case. (2) Also, is there any special action that has to be taken regarding the Zooz stick? Or 2448A7? Or do I just need to plug them in? I did see the checkboxes to enable Insteon and Z-Wave on the config tab.

I have an ISY994-Pro/IR with the Z-Wave 500 module. I also have Polisy Pro and have ordered a Zooz ZST10 stick and a 2448A7 Insteon USB PLM (wireless only). So, in theory, I can keep my ISY as-is and revert back to it, if the ISY-Polisy experiment doesn't work, right? I understand that z-wave does not port between the ISY and Polisy. That is fine as I have < 10 Z-Wave devices - but I have a lot of Insteon devices. Can someone verify the high level process of migrating to the ISY-Polisy and going back to the ISY994? I think it would work like this (note: not discussing z-wave): 1-Backup ISY; 2-Unplug ISY and old PLM; 3-peform restore of ISY backup to ISY-Polisy; 4-Perform a Restore Modem on ISY-Polisy Then, to go back to the ISY: 1-Unplug 2448A7 PLM; 2-Plug in ISY/Old PLM; 3-Restore Modem on ISY Does the above sound about right? Do I need to do a "Delete Modem" process anywhere? Or can I just make sure that only 1 modem is actually powered on at a time?

I am also wondering about all of this - the one thing that I am hopeful for is that the Zooz USB dongle works better and has better range than UDI's z-wave module - so I am considering moving the few z-wave devices that I have over to the ISY on Polisy and keeping the many Insteon devices that I have on the original ISY box, then, perhaps at some point in the future I will move over all of the Insteon stuff - I am using a few IR commands on the ISY as well, so I am looking for something to replace that as well

Well, I'll answer my own question - doing a restore backup under Polyglot Settings seems to have repaired the problem - now I have access to both ISYs - will order Zooz stick and wait for now...

I did this to tryout the ISY on Polisy - curl -s https://pkg.isy.io/script/update121.sh | sudo bash sudo shutdown -r now cat /usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/update13.sh | sudo bash sudo shutdown -r now - now none of my nodeservers will start - getting errors in log file indicating "no module named polyinterface" and "no module named pgc_interface" - Can anyone suggest how to correct? - I'm OK just going back and NOT trying this as it appears dangerous

Thanks - that works - you also have to delete the nodeserver on the ISY, then restart Polyglot - then the node server disappears - one strange thing, the MyQ (12) nodeserver got deleted but something re-created the folder - I am going to try and re-delete

OK so I went ahead and restored an old backup which had 10 of my 12 nodeservers and things are mostly back, however, I cannot delete and re-install node servers 11 and 12 because they were added after the backup - can someone tell me how to delete corrupted nodeservers from my configuration?

Also, I can't access the settings->Polisy Configuration page

I was not able to log into my Polisy Pro so I SSH'ed and did this procedure from the Wiki sudo service mongod status. If it's not running, then: sudo rm -rf /var/db/mongodb sudo reboot Now, I can't get any status on my nodeservers - although it seems they are running from the ISY's standpoint - my login credentials have reverted back to admin/admin - haven't backed up the Polisy in a long while - is there a way to fix this without re-installing and re-configuring all my node servers? (I had 12 nodeservers)

I have an almost fully automated home - almost every light and fan switch is an Insteon dimmer or on/off switch - I have been experiencing an annoying problem for some time now - sometimes (almost) everything in the house turns on at once; this includes lighting, ceiling fans, bathroom fans and plug-in on/off modules. When this happens, it seems to be an Insteon broadcast type of command doing this because it is virtually instantaneous - I have no idea why this is happening, nor how to reproduce or capture the event in the ISY. The only consistency that I have observed is that it is far more likely to happen during the day when people are moving about inside the house, opening doors and turning things on and off. I can only recall 1 time where it happened in the middle of the night. I do have a few motion sensors which are not themselves in any scenes - I rely on programs to turn on lights via motion. Also, I do not have any scenes containing all of the equipment that turns on, which is strange. The largest scenes that I have are for lighting only (Interior, Exterior, Upstairs, Downstairs) - then I have scenes for all Ceiling Fans, and all bathroom Fans. Motion detectors are NOT tied to scenes because I have different programs for late night vs daytime behavior (I don't want any blinding light turning on in the middle of the night). BTW - I have both an ISY994 with IR/Z-Wave, a Polisy Pro running several nodeservers and about 10-12 Z-Wave devices. This problem occurs intermittently, sometimes I have seen it happen as often as 2x a day, but then sometimes it won't happen for 1-2 weeks. My theory is that there is an Insteon message being sent by the ISY and some bits get corrupted and the message gets interpreted as some kind of global ON message. Any suggestions on how to debug/capture the event causing this? Or how to perhaps avoid it? (Should I remove scenes containing a lot of devices?) Or programmatic ways of detection and mitigation?

I have 3 Schlage BE469 locks (old z-wave); all three will respond to nightly commands to ensure that the doors are locked, and they can be queried from the ISY; however 2 have some kind of communications issues and 1 of those 2 is draining batteries a lot faster than the others. The ISY is right next to one of the locks and that one appears to communicate fine. The other 2, not so much. I do have 1 Aeotec Gen6 repeater and two Aeotec Gen5 repeaters, one GE Enbrighten motion switch and a GE On/Off module to assist with communications, but they don't seem to be helping much. I did a synchronize nodes->all and got the output below (edited to remove various Polisy node servers) - two of the locks did not complete the operation; can anyone tell anything from the event viewer file attached? (zw002=Gen6 repeater, zw003, zw004=gen5 repeater, zw006=on/off module, zw007=GE enbrighten switch, zw008=near lock, zw009,zw010=far locks) ISY-Events-Log.v5.3.0__Thu 2021.01.28 08.42.19 AM-ZWAVE-ONLY.txt

I can successfully use my gmail account, but I really don't want to make it less secure via the required setting, nor do I want to create confusion with a 2nd gmail account linked to my same phone number, alternative e-mail, etc. I tried creating a Yahoo account, but that isn't working - they no longer appear to have the option to use "less secure apps". Does anyone else have Yahoo working? If so, can you advise how to turn on the "less secure apps" option? Otherwise I will use the alternative ISY server.

Can someone elaborate on the gmail setting (below) required for the ISY? What does this do exactly? Why is this required? Click on Security in the list on the left and scroll down to Less secure app access Click on Turn on by clicking the toggle

I guess 100 is not that big a number after all - I did the updates and everything looks OK so far...

I did a Polisy: System->Check for Updates and I see that 100 Packages are available for update. Normally I try to keep the Polisy up to date,but I have never seen so many items to update - I am a bit concerned about breaking something when performing all of these updates - is anyone else seeing this? If so has anyone performed this massive update?

I just checked the Polisy again and the problem has resurfaced. I checked all the obvious things - cleared browser cache, rebooted the Polisy, logged out, logged in,etc. The strange thing is that I have not updated the Polisy since applying the SSH fix a few days ago. Anyone else seeing the two issues again?

In my case, I was in my house, on a PC on the same LAN as the Polisy I just opened an SSH session to the IP address of the Polisy I had to use the default username: admin password: admin

Michel K. helped me to fix the problems - I hope he doesn't mind me sharing this here - you have to be somewhat technical I use the program Putty for SSH - procedure is below: 1. Ssh to Polisy 2. curl -s https://pkg.isy.io/script/update121.sh | sudo bash Then I followed the instructions to reboot after the script completed, performing a "sudo shutdown -r now" (script will tell you what to type, I am guessing from memory - may be different) This appeared to be an alternative means of updating the Polisy and it fixed both issues

Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply - I did try clearing the cache and 3 different browsers but no luck - this problem has me stumped

I've had the Polisy Pro for quite some time now and it is generally working well, but recently, I have noticed some generic problems (in the title) - (1) When I go to Settings->Polisy Configuration, it says "Please wait, getting configuration..." indefinitely. I honestly forgot what the menu is supposed to look like if it ever updates, but I am pretty sure its not supposed to hang- Also (2), when I go to System->Check for Polisy Update, it no longer displays a message indicating if an update is available or not. It does display the green box saying that it "Sent upgrade check command to Polisy..." but there are no subsequent boxes displayed. I was in the process of documenting my Polisy setup by pasting screen captures into a MS-Word document when I noticed these issues. Running 10 nodeservers. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Forgot to mention, running V2.2.9-5 on the Polisy and V5.3.0 on the ISY
