it appears that most inductors have stripes. mine has three dots. i believe that the two on top are for polarity so that leave the green color of the inductor and the red color of the dot. using this page i found on google, I'm not sure what to make of it. any other suggestions or help in identifying this (apparent) inductor?

I’m trying to repair an old 2423A5 synchrolinc. It won’t report state changes to my Isy. can anyone identify these three green components? I think two of them are bad. They have a small black/blue and a small red dot on top of them and a larger red/orange dot on the side but no makings of any kind. On the PCB, they are marked L1, L3, and L8. This makes me think that they are inductors. How could i better identify them so I can replace them?

I've found quite a few videos online and other descriptions as to how to repair old insteon switches that have gone bad. Has anyone put together an algorithm as to where to start, how to test components and how to replace them? I have about 10 old switches, surely some of which can be repaired fairly easily with a soldiering gun and some capacitors (or whatever they are). Can anyone point me to a solution that has worked for them?

sorry to chime in with an unhelpful post, but I switched to IoP without changing my PLM and they worked just fine. I then switched to a new PLM and updated them correctly and they still work fine.

@kzboray Okay, I found the location you kindly showed me and I put a file there called token.txt. I changed the ownership as you also kindly showed me. it seems like it helped or fixed the problem with the token file, but I am still getting this error: 2022-02-06 06:14:40,773 Thread-1 udi_interface ERROR august_poly:parameterHandler: Error starting August NodeServer: unexpected EOF while parsing (<unknown>, line 0) any suggestions for how to address this problem? Thank you guys so much for your help!

here's one more thought I have about this. I am SSH'ing into my Polisy, and listed there are the nodes that I have on PG2. but this "AugustLock" Nodeserver is installed on PG3. do i need to FileZilla into a different port to get to PG3? obviously I don't understand this stuff all that well, I guess. I really appreciate all of the help!

@larryllix I'm getting closer. I found that inside of the "/" there is a file called "var" inside that there is one called "Polyglot" and then another inside that called "nodeservers" but there is NOT one inside that called "AugustLock". when I try to create one there or move one there, I get an error that says "permission denied". how can I fix that? the "/" (root?) file has these attributes: but the "var" file has these: am I "public", I'm logged in as admin though?!? here's the error log: Starting upload of J:\var\polyglot\nodeservers\AugustLock\token.txt Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: Directory /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: no such file or directory Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers" Response: New directory is: "/var/polyglot/nodeservers" Command: mkdir "AugustLock" Error: mkdir /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: permission denied Command: mkdir "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: mkdir /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: permission denied Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: Directory /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: no such file or directory Command: mtime "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt" Error: get attrs for /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt: no such file or directory Command: put "J:\var\polyglot\nodeservers\AugustLock\token.txt" "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt" Error: /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt: open for write: no such file or directory Error: File transfer failed Status: Starting upload of J:\var\polyglot\nodeservers\AugustLock\token.txt Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: Directory /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: no such file or directory Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers" Response: New directory is: "/var/polyglot/nodeservers" Command: mkdir "AugustLock" Error: mkdir /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: permission denied Command: mkdir "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: mkdir /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: permission denied Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: Directory /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: no such file or directory Command: mtime "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt" Error: get attrs for /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt: no such file or directory Command: put "J:\var\polyglot\nodeservers\AugustLock\token.txt" "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt" Error: /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt: open for write: no such file or directory Error: File transfer failed Status: Starting upload of J:\var\polyglot\nodeservers\AugustLock\token.txt Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: Directory /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: no such file or directory Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers" Response: New directory is: "/var/polyglot/nodeservers" Command: mkdir "AugustLock" Error: mkdir /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: permission denied Command: mkdir "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: mkdir /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: permission denied Command: cd "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock" Error: Directory /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock: no such file or directory Command: mtime "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt" Error: get attrs for /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt: no such file or directory Command: put "J:\var\polyglot\nodeservers\AugustLock\token.txt" "/var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt" Error: /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt: open for write: no such file or directory Error: File transfer failed

Larryllix: I appreciate you taking the time to make the suggestion for Filezilla. I've downloaded it and I cannot get connected it connected to my Polisy. any suggestions on which port to use? when I SSH to my Polisy, I don't use a port.

I am trying to use the "August" lock NodeServer and it requires a file to be on my Polisy. the instructions for the nodeserver suggest this: /var/polyglot/nodeservers/AugustLock/token.txt but i suspect it could be called almost anything. My August NodeServer doesn't work because I don't have this file available to store my token in. I am using windows 10 SSH to access my polisy and I cannot figure out what the command is that would create such a file. I've looked everywhere. I'd appreciate any help. (also, there is not a specific forum for the August Lock Webserver, for some reason.

@waffles Thank you so much for taking the time to type in your answer. I did the same thing I opened each one, and then just clicked "save" (not necessary to click "update") and clicked "save" at the bottom of the main page and they worked. I had about 80 or so of them but it was worth the time. @dbwarner5 Thank you so much for putting together this guide. you could add this as one of the steps for those who have "network resources".

some simple "big picture" questions about polisy and polyglot.
someguy replied to someguy's topic in IoX Support
I'm still trying to figure out differences between the polyglot cloud and the PG2 or PG3 yes, I understand that the cloud one runs in the cloud and the others run on my Polisy in my basement. but why would I want them running in my basement if they could run in the cloud? (I'm assuming my internet connection is 100% stable, even though it is not) also: there is a tesla nodeserver in PG Cloud and on PG2. neither seem to work and I have a ticket in to try to get these fixed, but I'd like to understand why I'd want to run this at home if it can run on the cloud? -
I am going through this migration process and my ISY on Polisy Admin Console continues to have the banner pop up like this: and when it gets to 100%, it goes away and then comes back and starts over, counting up to 100 again. it has done this at least 5 times so far. How many times should this happen with a "Restore ISY"? also, it now is saying "Refreshing Views" in the blue window (pictured above) as it ticks across again and again. if that helps any.

I figured out that somehow, when I installed Polisy V3 onto my unit, it logged Polisy V2 out of my ISY. I don't know how it happened but when I fixed my username and password, it fixed the Weatherflow nodeserver and now the data flows nicely from the Polisy V2 Weatherflow nodeserver into the ISY. problem solved. Thank you and sorry for crying wolf.
-
I was using "WeatherFlow" nodeserver and it was working beautifully inside of Polisy v2. I then used the instructions that i found in the forum to add Polisy version 3 to my Polisy. I'm not sure if it is a coincidence, but now when I look inside Polisy v2, the data is stuck (does not update). of note, I see that I could buy the same "Weatherflow" nodeserver inside of Polisy v3 but there is no "buy" button available there, probably because I already "own" it in Polisy v2. Any suggestions or solutions to gettinvg my "Weatherflow" nodeserver up and running? I'm happy to pay the $10, by the way.

some simple "big picture" questions about polisy and polyglot.
someguy posted a topic in IoX Support
so, can someone explain to me what the difference between polyglot and polisy is? Does polyglot run in the cloud and polisy runs on my polisy "computer" at home? if so, why have it running at home if it can run on the cloud? If PG3 is polyglot 3 then I guess polyglot doesn't run on the cloud because it's running on my Polisy now. also: what is PG, PG2, and PG3 relative to one another. I understand that PG3 now permits people to charge for their nodeservers (which is surely good because it'll motivate people to make them and make them well). I guess I need a "for dummies" explanation for this stuff so I can understand it better. (I have a Polisy, and have 6 nodeservers running on it, if that is correct terminology.) -
when will "ISY" to "ISY on Polisy" migration tool be available?
someguy replied to someguy's topic in IoX Support
I was thinking of trying to move my ISY to "ISY on Polisy" this weekend. it's a snowy weekend here. I'd like to have a recommendation as to how to do so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. -
@GeddyThank you for your kind reply and help! one problem that I had was that .jnlp was no longer associated with the correct file type and I had to figure what to set it to javaws.exe detailed explanation I have no idea how that file association was removed but I had updated java.

when will "ISY" to "ISY on Polisy" migration tool be available?
someguy replied to someguy's topic in IoX Support
I believe that there should be a wiki or a "how to" moving from ISY to ISY on Polisy. here, i'll try to type one up real quick and someone can tell me where i'm wrong. presumptions: -isy is up and running. -isy on polisy is up and running. -planning on using the same plm on the "isy on polisy" as i was on "isy". steps: 1) take backup from ISY using "backup ISY" 2) use "restore backup" on "ISY on Polisy" to load up the backup created in #1. is it that simple? does the backup need to be from the same firmware on ISY as it is on "ISY on Polisy"? Thank you, someguy -
when will "ISY" to "ISY on Polisy" migration tool be available?
someguy replied to someguy's topic in IoX Support
I don't see where 5.3.0 is or has the migration tool? also, I got the same problem that the image shows above where I had a mismatch of the admin console and the Isy. -
At least once every few months my "ISY Launcher" client vanishes from my desktop and then I have to go through the process of finding it again. any suggestions? Am I the only one that this happens to?

I have my ISY set up to send notifications for various reasons and they often take 1-12 or more hours to come through to me. I am using (my ten digit phone number)@mms.att.net. I've also tried (my ten digit phone number)@txt.att.net they both quite often have a long delay. I've also tried "pushover" on Polisy but it isn't as customizable. there are only about a dozen or so options that you can have it send to you (like "on" or "off") Thank you for any suggestions. and By the Way: I believe this has been discussed in this forum in the past but I cannot find the previous discussion.
