AWS Route53 / DNS was hit yesterday and the day before. I believe pushover uses AWS. I don't see any stories about pushover specifically. I have 6 expected messages throughout the day. Is there a link to a story?

I never would have known. I've received what I expected. Specifically I noticed the garage door notifications since I'm home and opened it. It came right away.

Answered above. I've been using Nodelink since the beginning, and its predecessor venlink before. Great support and continuity since 2014 for me. Agree 100% with @Bumbershoot Paul

+1 for the Venstar color touch. Have 2 of them with indoor sensors and one shared outdoor sensor that I also use for other purposes in the ISY

☝️ This. I monitor and try to make the most efficient use of electricity during and right after installation of ha controllable devices. Then I hand it over to the device and/or the ISY and not try to modify our behavior. I didn't bother to explain the benefits of the dynamic peak power program option from our power company to my wife. The projected savings are not worth having to stop and have the ISY have alexa say "don't run the appliance right now". It would undo all of the WAF halo effect of my automation efforts.

Its my incessant need to one-up everybody ? Seriously, the only thing I can think of, is that I have the pro version. It adds the ability for more programs and devices, and the featurers supported by those last 2 icons. Its not possible to change those Paul

hart2hart's task list is time tested by a number of users here. He came back and edited the first post to contain the fully tested list of steps. If you have no z-wave devices you can red-line those steps / sections. Now is a good time to move to V5. Plan a an hour or 2 to familiarize yourself with his steps and do it. That will get you on the latest ISY FW. One note, if you have the pro ISY, you don't need to disable all wireless devices. You can use the control that causes them to be skipped until the end, see the pic below. However I did not need to do this when upgrading to V5; I think that comment may have been from zwave users. Since you are insteon only, and your are not changing your PLM address, you should not need to do this. Paul

To clarify geisen and others above (including myself) The first PolISYs delivered will serve only as a ready-to-go local nodeserver - Polyglot and Nodelink ... that's all. As delivered, they will not initially have ISY994I replacement capability.. its been stated in numerous threads by UDI that it is a longer term goal Today, the best option based on the original request by the OP is to order and install the ISY994I zwave card to their existing ISY Paul

It will in the future. I agree with the thoughts of getting the z-wave expansion card now and let your future desires to expand drive additional purchases.

Thanks for doing this io_guy. I appreciate that Mono has been there in the past, but running on the actual MS stack will be better for me. Paul

There is a lot written above... here are things to think about Use Momentary B in the iolinc configuration. Either on or off will trigger the door. Garage door openers with the iolinc will operate just like the manual opener unit.... one button for everything. In this case setting it on or off will be just like pressing the manual opener button Also, you may be trying to hard by checking the status at all. Have no if statement for the program. Simple say "set garage relay on" for both programs. That will have the same effect as your voice command having alexa press the manual garage door opener button Paul

Nodelink working here as well, updated via the script. When it came up, config.xml hadn't been copied over, but probably due to me having my config.xml in a directory I had used since the xxxxlink days...it was easy to diagnose/fix. Paul

cool. In a related question, I'd be curious how you feel about the service after you've used it a few weeks. I take it that its a mobile data to lan type of service? Paul

I have a backup / dev b+ I can try it on.its already set up with existing nodelink.. It will be a.good test for the larger audience here Paul

How was the ip set up on your ISY... dhcp or static? The ISY maintaining its previous locally NAT’d IP address might explain the behavior. Look at the system tab in the admin console. Also while you’re there, try to manually update NTP, does that run or error out? Paul

You should reboot your ISY as the internet IP address changed, and potentially your local internal NAT address & subnet May have changed. Rebooting the ISY will force it to request a new internal address. You can use the restart from the admin console, or unplug it, wait 10 seconds and plug back in Paul

Larry Its mounted on a punch out, connected to a double pole double throw breaker. Paul

I've had the 20 year old version of this. Still works, leds for both leg still lit. Very few problems in a lightening strike rich environment. Paul

You do not have to use the red wire on insteon switches. Cap 'em off and you're good to go. Paul

FWIW.. if you use polyglot cloud via the portal, you don’t need a local server... and vice versa... portal isn’t needed to support a local polyglot server Paul

I believe @Michel Kohanim would help you reset that for you so you could try the trial Paul

@kwb007 Here's one more I forgot about till now. Read this whole thread (its not that long), it documents how to have the ISY test if the ezflora failed and send you an alert Paul

@kwb007 Thanks for sharing your results and glad it worked out! Paul

One thing that happened to me with my GDO in the random department. It took a long time to narrow down that it was happening with the attic dampers. Somehow, I had dragged the iolinc relay for the GDO into the scene for the keypad keys and the damper control iolinc. So the suggestion is to look at scenes that control lighting or anything else that runs after sunup and controls a scene that accidentally got the iolinc relay added Paul

Hi SK As written, it will only execute once. The From/To construct is designed to be used with other logic in the if, example adding this: And Garage light is switched on. That would cause the program to only run in the time boundaries when the garage light is turned on Paul
