Im a bit unclear about the program you suggest. I have a variable $Int_1. Should it be if $Init_1 is -99999999 Then What do I put here?

Ok ill try. Thanks

I logged into the ISY to try what you suggested and before doing anything, it seems to be running fine now. Not sure why. If it happens again I will try your suggestion. Thank you

I am having problems with the ISY running very slow. Mostly the programs. I recently moved and have yet to install all my insteon devices so every time I opened up the admin console I got a bunch of messages saying it cant communicate with the devices. I disabled all of those devices and still have problems. I also upgraded to 5.3.4 For example if i put my water sensor in water, the "Wet" on the admin console, shows "On" very quickly but if I go to the programs where I am supposed to receive an email when the device is wet and I click the "Run Then" option, it takes a few minutes or longer for the program to react. Using the "Run Then" option on any program takes a long long time to react. Also all of my status Icons in my programs are showing a white icon, if that tells you anything. Thanks in advance

Ok been a while since I installed the ELK and forgot that you can change the NC/NO status on the panel.

Just bought a new house and I hooked up two existing dsc motion sensors and door sensors to my elk m1 and they seem to be NO because the motion detector is violated when there is no motion and normal when there is and the door is violated when closed. This is shown this way in Agave and on the panel. How do I reverse this? On the sensor it shows that it's connected to normally closed. Thanks

I find myself on the forum constantly hoping for tidbits of info from Michel on any progress on the purchase of Insteon. I am very hopeful for this and the possibilities as UDI is such a great company. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I'm wondering what the best device is for powerering existing manual vertical and horizontal blinds using zwave. Thanks

Wow, that looks better than the IOLinc. Thanks

What zwave device has the same functionality as the Insteon IOLinc? Thanks

Great thanks

I have my insteon lights turnnon when the system is disarmed so I'm assuming zwave will be no different

Is there any issue with Elk and zwave working together?

Thanks for the replies

Is there any hope of a replacement PLM now that Insteon is OUT OF BUSINESS? If my PLM breaks, I have about 30 insteon devices that are useless? I heard UDI was going to make one, is there hope of that?

Thanks again

Is there a typical minimum distance from the PolISY to the nearest first Zwave switch? I would imagine walls and doors play a part like you mentioned but from experience in a average house, what would you ballpark guess for distance? Thanks

Thank you

Thank you so much for that tips and tricks post. That is exactly the type of detailed info I need when trying to get into zwave. Very helpful!

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

Thanks guys

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!

I used this post instead of creating a new one on the same topic. Once again I was just relaying what they told my uncle. take it for what its worth. Ignore it , take it with a grain of salt or be a bit polite and give your opinion. Just stop being a rude jerk about it.

Maybe you should read my message when i am saying its not about the discontinued product but more about what was said by Insteon. What was said by Insteon was 100% correct and accurate. Yes Mr. Bill makes a good point and is probably right but no need to be a jerk about it. Unless you own Insteon you have no idea if they are going out of business or not. You are just speculating like anyone else. I didnt create this thread so I guess Im not the only one worried about my investment.
