I tried the simple form of the conf and got similar issue. Switched to using json form of config and it worked. @sjenkins , I declared it this way with colon and the colon was stripped in eISY created device but doesn't happen for standard dimmer and switch types. {"id": "98", "type": "ondelay", "name": "Office:Closet Timer On"}

Thanks. In this case, Advanced / PLM Communications is not shown for the OffDelay virtual device, and it says "This device does not support PLM communication settings for the physical device in the scene. Am I missing something deeper / simple? As I recall, you can only set scene retries by device in a scene and I can't seem to do it for either device in this scene.

@sjenkins I like the functionality a lot. When I do same with programs controlling something like an electrical motor fan, I typically put Turn off Wait 1-2 seconds Turn off Wait 1-2 seconds Turn off This ensures the switch and device being controlled will almost certainly be turned off even if electrical noise from fan motor occasionally gets through. Does that make any sense here?

I typed that and then went out fur a run. Got about 2 miles from home when answer came to me. Define it like all my other virtual devices and the delay will show up on the created device. Oh well a dense moment passed. Thanks , Paul

@sjenkins great addition! I’m not clear how to configure and use. I want to use an offDelay switch so I’d create the virtual switch and add it to a scene with water closet physical fan switch. When the physical fan switch in the bathroom is turned on that would start timer to turn it off. Is that right? If that’s right, how would I define the virtual offDelay switch with a 15 minute delay to turn it off using json notation?

Thank you @sjenkins Second reboot of ISY and it’s now showing 14. I’ll be running 5.9.1 for a bit longer.

Just installed update! I saw such a minor issue but wanted you to know in case it’s indicative of something more severe in that number of nodes is showing 0 and there are actually 14.

Thanks for making Virtual plugin so much better! I’ll hopefully remember to install and test out tonight.

I installed the NVME drive and ran UD script to switch processing over to it. However, I’m not recalling it if fully boots from the drive or if some or all of OS still resides on default drive. I’ve opened a tuck and asked that question.

Great final thought. Does anyone know if eISY system drive is same as one in Polisy? I bought one of the usb to drive adapters to reimage Polisy a bit ago? Edit: I added the nvme ssd to eISY. I’m recalling that the script to do that moving everything to it and made 60gb internal a backup drive. Is that true?

I prefer Insteon definition for OL so it stays consistent with other behaviors.

I think there is 13% discount code active right now. IMHO UD is a world class small er company that provides incredible support at low initial costs and very small portal fee. This community is also excellent growing under the tutelage of Michel. The cost of eISY went up with tariffs but is still a great deal for a device that’ll likely last for 5 to 10 years. Get an eISY and keep polisy as a ready spare.

If you do the upgrade, take note of your PLM which I’m sure is serial and get the serial to usb converter cable. I too updated my serial PLM before installing with up voltage specification capacitors and it’s been going for years now. Also, since you don’t have zwave, it easy typically very easy conversion but do your ho,work on the upgrade process first.

Upgrade to an eISY. I believe there is a discount code for 13% off right now. It will give you plenty of headroom and ability to leverage great current and around the corner (next few days) features. Since you do not have wave, it’s typically very straightforward.

Is it plugged in to same port on the router? If different port, it could be disabled or configured differently.

Thanks Just upgraded to 3.2.7.

Thanks.

Thanks.

@firstone good morning. I've got version 2.0.18 installed but dashboard and detailed plugin screen is telling me a new version is available that is 2.0.7. Is it just some meta data from install package that needs to be updated? Edit -- I deleted plug in and reinstalled it. Just after installing it said 2.0.7 was installed and while I was looking at the screen it switched display to 2.0.18 Thanks

@Goose66 good morning. I'm getting notifications to update to 3.2.6 but it never takes. I do the upgrade (several times), and it still says 3.2.5. Is it just meta data in the install package that needs to be updated so that it displays 3.2.6 after the update? Thanks

Thanks. I’ll be on lookout for announcements.

Are you using it?

When was 6.0.0 released?

Sorry, I’m just now seeing this update. Virtual is a fabulous plugin. I’ve been using it for great things and it got so much better when you took over development. Is any additional input or testing needed before you public it to production store?

The if folder true will be reevaluated every time the noaa temp changes.
