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.

@MrBill Thank you so much for your very helpful and well-explained result. I've got it working! the wiki probably should be updated at some point but I won't complain about that.

background: I monitor my sump pumps with programs that send an email once a day that tells me how much the sumps have run. I include in that email the amount of rain for the 24 hour period. i had set this email up quite a few years ago with this variable: ${mod.weather.rain.24h} my suspicion is that this was from the old and now defunct climate module. important part: how can I make a "variable" in a customized email that sends the amount of rain from my rain nodeserver? the node is: n006_rain Thank you, someguy

@bpwwer Thank you! sounds good.

what are the advantages or improvements or differences of PG3 vs. PG2?

@Michel Kohanim Any update on this migration utility?

@kzboray: I can't thank you enough for your help. I followed your instructions and IT WORKED! I now have "another ISY" on my list in the "ISY Finder". now, I can only hope that my new PLM comes in the mail soon and that the migration software is available soon. Thank you again to all of you for all of your help. someguy

this SSH stuff may be a little more complicated than I can figure out. I tried this in a "Windows PowerShell" window:

I pressed the button on the front with a paperclip and heard a beep. and i still have the same firware.

I’m on same version of polisy. I don’t know what ssh is. I’ll look into it and try that command.

Michel or others: My Polisy was purchased (from universal devices) in July of 2020. I tried both of the options you mentioned and neither worked. any other suggestions?

I tried: https://192.168.1.105:8080/desc and https://192.168.1.105:8080 and both of those with only http://....

my isy finder app does not find my Polisy ISY. I tried putting in my polisy address into the "add" button on my isy finder app and it didn't work either. any suggestions would be appreciated.

which firmware would it be best to have on my isy to be able to migrate it to Polisy? also: once I click that button and the Polisy beeps, where do I see the ISY in Polisy? I can't see it anywhere in there.

How about the plm? Don’t I need a 2413u to use my polisy as an isy?

do I need to have installed something on my polisy? do I need my polisy connected to a PLM?

I need this dumbed down to my level, please. I have an ISY and it is on 5.0.16C. I have a polisy. I see the thread that is titled get started but what assumptions are made to "get started"? do I need to have installed something on my polisy? do I need a certain firmware on my isy? do I need my polisy connected to a PLM? part of the reason I am looking into this is because I want to be able to avoid being stuck when my 2413U plm dies. (a related question: I am reading that firmware can be "automatically updated" to 5.2.0 but my 5.0.16C wont give me that option. To what should I upgrade?)

why do some scenes or devices respond better to "fast on" than "on"? and others respond better to "on" than "fast on"? I'm trying to figure out why a scene that passes the "scene test" with all devices "succeeded" but half of the items don't go on when I run a program that calls for the scene to turn "on".

No, I didn’t reboot it (prior to this happening). But the day before I was resorting quite a few devices so I was taking the plm on a run for its money.

EDIT: I found a solution: I did a "restore PLM" and it seems to have fixed it. any idea why this would happen and how to avoid it in the future? is forgetfulness, like in people, just a sign of an aging (of the PLM)? Here was my question: My isy, just today, stopped listening (or hearing) updates from all of my wireless motion sensors and leak sensors. None are updating. My hardwired devices are updating status in isy and isy is able to control them as well. Any thoughts on what would cause this? Thank you,

how could I test mine's capacitors? I have a voltmeter.

Okay, thank you, larryllix and kclenden. i tried removing it and adding it again and it still has the same listings on the "Device Links Table". I guess she goes into a landfill. Any suggestions on how to recycle the thing instead?

I have a synchroLinc that I've tried doing a factory reset and then a restore and it still won't update in ISY. here is the "Show Device Links Table" and "Compare" Any suggestions?

I tried this mms.att.net method and it seems to work much quicker. Thank you, MrBill! Whitehambone: I also do have Polisy. what options are there there for notifications?
