We don’t know when the picture was taken, and of course I was curious and I noticed there is a lot of office space for lease in the area - at least when photos were taken. I infer from addresses that UDI’s suite is in the back of the building somewhere. Was there any update on the impact of fires on company operations? The major ones are just now 100% contained. Still looking for that miracle turning water into wine. However: turns out the Army Corps of Engineers uselessly and wastefully diverted water from N. California to the inland “bread basket” area on the east side of the mountains, and there are concerns about available water for crops this summer. Maybe employees are all going out snapping up the last available chest freezers? I put one in my Michigan basement a month ago, snappy new WiFi model from Home Depot that was on sale end of the year. Made in China, of course. Boy am I glad I did. From power measurements the thing might even have an unadvertised inverter, or at least somehow variable compressor. Gonna go grab the last of that Canadian beef before it stops coming over the bridge. All in jest and satire - sort of - but also pointing out that the LA area is particularly affected by recent natural and unnatural phenomena, so cut them some slack.

Midnight drop? Or Midnight pity party? No wine before its time? Or no wine? We need divine intervention. Encino surely has water by now. The big guy turned on the tap!

I'm facing a similar issue, and having trouble following this. What's different is that from a few days ago, I'm suddenly unable to affect the state of bulbs from the AC. (Or from linked Insteon buttons, which is how I discovered this...) I got notices in the log about groups and bulbs not existing. And also a Python error with traceback. (wish I'd saved that...) I decided to re-install the Hue plugin, and I installed on a different slot, because of tips here. Now I'm in the condition where PG sees the bridge, and the bridge is connected. I can't get it to populate the bulbs. Hub button, restart, still only shows 1 node, the bridge. As with OP, I got no request to push the button (when I tried it without pushing the button first). I did add the hub IP address, though it works (such as it is) either way. A really detailed how-to would be useful, vs. the very terse comments in the README.

I assume there will be an announcement in the slow-moving “announcements” section. The app has had graphing for a while - you have to enable it on eISY with a secret incantation I don’t remember off-hand. I don’t have much I can graph, though I have an Ecobee and sensors and it indeed makes graphs. And oh ah say, ah say Paul - I just realized we’re neighbors. Hello from Lathrup Village!

Same thing here. Documentation is vague. On first start, I will "receive a PIN". Where/how?

When I start IoX Finder on MacOS (Sonoma 14.1.2), I have great difficulty clicking on the URL to open the console or Polyglot. I have to try several times, sometimes it highlights the URL, sometimes it brings up the menu, sometimes it brings up the menu and then the menu disappears. I usually have to close IoX Finder and re-open several times before it randomly works. What's the secret handshake?

I'm gonna take a stab at it, as a long-delayed introduction to developing Polyglot plugins. I have mostly Hue bulbs, but I could not bring myself to pay the price ($54 each!) for 5 1.5W Hue "candle" bulbs in a dining room chandelier. (PLUS I'd have to use socket adapters, as my chandelier has standard E26 bases, and the available white+color candle-shape Hue bulbs have E12 base.) Naw dawg, not $270 to light a chandelier! So, I got a bunch of Hue and 5 Wiz bulbs. When I got them, I did a bit of digging, and demonstrated I was able to control them easily using Curl from a command-line window in MacOS. Shouldn't be very difficult.

The documentation/"more info" link in the Polyglot 3x store page doesn't work. "Not found". https://github.com/UniversalDevicesInc-PG3/udi-sun-poly/master/blob/README.md If I push that button (MacOS/FirefoxPolyglot V3 via I0X Finder) it takes me to the above link and I get "not found". I found the following in a topic on this forum: https://github.com/UniversalDevicesInc-PG3/udi-sun-poly/blob/master/README.md This link works. Took me a minute to spot the difference: the correct link reads blob/master while the incorrect link reads master/blob. I had some trouble figuring out the format of the parameters. I fiddled around and finally got the format for latitude and longitude, and now I get values. Still unsure about height. Feet or meters? That's not in the documentation. But at least now I can find the Github repo and read the code to figure it out. Edit: answer - the poly uses astral.geocoder. https://astral.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ There's a note in the documentation: And then I found this about Astral.Observer: A float that is the elevation in metres above a location, if the nearest obscuring feature is the horizon

Wiz has completely replaced Hue in some and much diminished in others big box stores. E.g. Target sells Wiz but not Hue. Home Depot has reduced Hue to the bottom shelf of an end cap, the rest of the end cap being Wiz products. And you can buy Wiz in supermarkets.

Thanks, Michael. Good to know it's just a software entitlement/download. I found this: https://www.dteenergy.com/us/en/insight/insight-features.html Energy Bridge is a ZigBee dongle that provides real-time data directly from the meter. I'll check with DTE to see if I'm eligible. Can eISY talk to the bridge? OpenADR is for this, or for talking to an Internet API? Looks like they are using this (Powerley) bridge currently. And I came across threads talking about connecting to it with Home Assistant. So, assume I'll be able to talk to it once I get one. https://csa-iot.org/csa_product/energy-bridge-2/ There's a reasonable $1.99/mo subscription fee. Thinking this has nothing to do with OpenADR - which is a separate concern, right?

I'd like to better understand the add-on OpenADR Production Certificate. I've moved to a new (old) home, and want to order an eISY as a replacement for my existing ISY994i and Polisy. (As well, I've a developer, and interested in what I can do in the super-niche area of steam heat... perhaps some AI to model house heat gain/loss, see if there's some way to optimize use of a steam heating system in conjunction with a heat pump (currently, no A/C, heat pump might be more economical just to "take the chill out" in spring/fall), remote-adjustable air valves, etc. My electric utility just started TOU billing so interested in high-level management of loads). Anyway, I've got a meter that I'm unsure if I can read with eISY, will get to that in a sec. My main concern is, I want to get the eISY ordered, and uncertain exactly what to order. Is eisy | OpenADR just eisy with a production certificate? Is OpenADR capability able to be added later by adding a production certificate? Is any add-on hardware needed to communicate with a meter? I notice there's a (small) discount ordering eisy | OpenADR vs adding certificate later, though that's not a big concern. Maybe somebody can comment on my meter, while we're at it: OpenWay by Itron, Centron. CL200 240V 3W TYPE C2S0D 30TA 1 OKh, dated 9/11 FCC ID 5K9AMI5JC-AMI6, MODULE: AMI6 Utility is DTE (Michigan). Does the utility have to do something, or do I have to get some code or certificate or something from them? Anything needed to add to this? Advisable to wait for ZMater USB to be out of beta? I've got a ton of Insteon, some of which I will use, some Hue bulbs and strips, a little bit of Wiz, want to explore WLED. a few Sonoff S31 that I haven't flashed yet that I've been using to measure critical and constant loads (generator or battery still a necessity in the offing, welcome to Michigan!)

apnar has it! Here's a useful summary of the process and why it's named that way: https://www.stimmel-law.com/en/articles/assignments-benefits-creditors-abcs-basics-california According to above, an ABC is an alternative to formal bankruptcy. "The Assignee is generally an unrelated professional liquidator selected by the Assignor. The Assignee gathers the Assignor’s assets and sells the Assignor’s right, title and interest in those assets, then distributes the proceeds to Creditors in accordance with statutory priorities. The Assignee has a fiduciary duty to the Creditors. Assignee’s duties include protecting the assets of the estate, administering them fairly and representing the estate. Assignee is free to enter into contracts to recover assets or liquidated claims, e.g. filing suit or taking other action." --- A tough search, because the California Alcohol and Beverages Commission is also referred to as "ABC", so "California ABC <insert anything here>" results are dominated by alcohol licensing information. Maybe a good thing, we could all use a stiff one I'm sure!

Exactly what it says. A completely new, and transitory company (likely in it's charter it is for the purpose of winding-up). Clearly, the party of the first part isn't going to sue the party of the second part for trademark infringement. But aren't these usually named like "blah blah liquidation company", etc.?

I see what you did there!

Seems like everyone, and they have prioritized them in order of who is more likely to have a claim. I think the legal process requires them to notify all suppliers and customers. Because some customers may have sent in warranty returns that they won't get back, might have been billed for products they will never received, may have warranty coverage that will now be useless, may have paid for an online subscription that now gives them no benefit, and "deserve to know".
