Thank you guys. lilyoyo1: I will take a look at the link. MrBill: you said zooz 700, is that the dongle or just the brand of zwave devices? Also, do you mean there was a specific CAT cable that came with the PLM? bhihifi: is the insteon dongle that your referring to, for zwave? Thanks

I have been using isy insteon for years and bought the polisy when it came out. I have been wanting to install isy on polisy but from what I'm reading, I need a USB plm. Is this correct? If so, I can't seem to find any to buy. I bought a new house and need to add more switches but as I can't buy more Insteon, I need to go with zwave. So what hardware would I need to buy to get zwave 700 switches working on polisy? Seems like I'm stuck, can't add more insteon to the isy and can't use polisy for zwave because I can't get a USB plm. Thank you

I know nothing is future proof but I am wondering what you guys think is the way to go for home automation, going forward? I have all Insteon and despite the debate, my personal opinion is that Insteon will soon be done if not already. I hope I am wrong but I wanted to know what the other options are that are out there that you might suggest, like Z wave or future protocols like Matter (which I know almost nothing about). I would prefer to keep using the ISY/Polisy. Thanks Merry Christmas!

Ok thanks

Im very happy to see that we are finally here but I wonder if its best to wait to upgrade the Polisy? Is this a beta? Is everything working fine? Thanks

Alexa works fine but Google cant turn on the lights

In the past when Michael was in the forums talking about the upcoming Polisy and answering questions, at no time was it mentioned that UDI may not support Insteon or the PolISY would not be used as an ISY. If he did then I for one never would have bought one and Im sure alot of others wouldnt have either. I only currently use the Polisy for Ecobee and Harmony and those I could have lived without for the price I paid. Now I am hearing this information for the first time they may have plans of not supporting insteon and it does very much worry and upset me. I bought it for the future of a more powerful ISY which I am happy to hear Michael giving us some details about how good it is. I didnt buy it as a RPI replacement because I never owned a RPI. Maybe it is not UDI's fault the way Insteon treats them and by the sounds of it Insteon isnt very smart, not supporting UDI. I dont own a single Zwave product and own probably 40 Insteon devices and I have always been happy with both. I have recommended to 3 family members and 4 friends to buy both Insteon and ISY but now I am not so sure. As I said I hope I can continue to enjoy insteon and ISY and hopefully soon, get my money's worth out of the PolISY soon.

To be honest Ive been so busy I forgot I posted this question. Now after reading the responses Im shocked and afraid. Am I understanding correctly that the PolIYS may not support Insteon? If so why did I even buy it? All of my devices are Insteon so where would that leave me? Please tell me I'm reading this wrong.

Both programs had the same IF for the ELK so not sure if it got confused once it couldnt find the fridge. The reason i have it on the little bar fridge is the hum is too noisy so it only turns on if im not home or in bed

Ok I found the problem and it is weird. A couple days ago I unplugged my appliance module that I use to plug a small fridge into. I have a program that when the elk keyfob is pressed to arm, then the fridge turns on and disarm turns it off. This is a separate program from the lights. I plugged the module back in and everything works fine.
-
All other programs seem to run fine. Ive take a look at your link. thanks

This program stopped running the then part ALARM DISARMED Boba and Bathroom Window on - If Elk Area 'Home' 'Armed State' is Disarmed Then Set 'Scenes / Boba and Bathroom Window 7 to' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The Scene "Boba and Bathroom window 7 to Bathroom Window light Livingroom plug Bot Livingroom Plug top When I disarm my ELK alarm, the bathroom light turns on and 2 plug lights in the livingroom. Has worked fine for a couple years. Last few days when I disarm the alarm, those lights do not turn on. Watching the ISY program when I disarm the ELK, the program turns green so it recognizes that the ELK is disarmed but does not run the "Then" part of the program. If I right click on the program and click "Run Then" the lights turn on fine. I cant figure out whats wrong. Thanks

Ok thanks

Been away for a while so was wondering what if any progress there has been to being able to use the Polisy as the ISY. Thanks

Not sure what you mean by smart display. I guess mine doesnt have it.

Based on the ideas you guys have given me, I asked my uncle who knows a lot about electronics to take a look at the PCB of the wall button for the opener and he suggested where to solder wires so it can connect directly to the I/O link. After doing this, I am now able to open and close my Chamberlain opener with the I/O link. So maybe save you guys some money and time if you want to try this. Thanks for the help

Does this work with the I/O Linc?
-
What does the FilterLinc do? Do I still use the I/O linc with it?
-
My previous Genie opener worked fine with the I/O linc. Now I bought a Chamberlain garage door opener (C203C) and the I/O linc wont open the door. My opener says it is "myQ" compatible, what do I need to buy to be able to open the garage door with my Android phone? Thanks

No power outage. I would have to check the devices next time it happens. Thanks

When I close my bedroom door, my ecobee sets the temp down. The last couple nights it hasnt worked. I checked the Polisy and ecobee says its connected but in the ISY the Ecobee is not displaying an accurate temp. How do I make sense of where the trouble is with the polisy? I clicked restart on the Ecobee poly and that seemed to work. What causes this? Thanks
