Thanks. I'll look into it. I too like having the ELK voice announcements and use them for perimeter sensors around my house. Always instant.

I am only emailing to pushover and gmail. I didnt know there always another way. Do you recommend where I can learn about how to use the network recourses for pushover? I did purchase the polisy. How quick are the notifications through network recourses or polyglot? Is it instant?

I did alot of research when buying mine and I chose Ecobee. I love it and I have it connected to the isy through polyglot cloud. I have sensors for 4 rooms.

I have the ISY and ELK, sending emails to pushover and gmail which seems to mostly be quick but sometimes slow. I just but a few CAO wireless tags and the instant the tag gets moved, the app is alerted. I beleive it uses push notifications which I dont really understand how that works. Is it possible to get the ISY and ELK to send notifications, just as fast, as in instantly?

My local Coop hardware store was selling insteon for a couple years then stopped.

Bestbuy stopped selling it and I think Menards stopped selling it in the stores. Just wondering.

Just wondering what everyone's opinion is about the future of Insteon. Do you think its fading away or should we not worry? Thanks

I'm currently using the insteon door sensor in my metal mailbox and it works great

I have it ordered and will let you know. Now im worried

Thanks

Will an email come out on the shipping day? Thanks

That's awesome. I currently have an insteon door sensor in my mailbox and would be nice to replace it with this tag and one for the freezer. I was thinking about the 13 bit tem humidity tag. Which models do you guys use? Thanks

I had thought about those but I heard there is a lot of problems with range and disconnects. Im surprised about the range you are getting. Thanks

What is a good (cheap) temperature sensor for the freezer that works with ELK or Insteon, wireless or wired? thanks

From what I remember, the Polisy is shipping this month, is there an exact date? Will we be receiving email confirmation prior? Thanks

Ok the delay was my mistake. My program was when the kitchen light turned on, the variable went to 1 then waits 10 seconds then goes to 0. In my Alexa routine, I had it activated based on an off instead of an on. So it waited 10 seconds after the light was turned on then I guess more dely. I now switched it to an ON and the delay is only 2 seconds. Thanks guys. Now I hope google can do this in the future.

On the portal the "Alexa Variable" is a Device/Contact sensor, under address it says 3(Close:0). In the app it also says the "Alexa variable" is a contact sensor.

Im not sure what you mean can you explain a little more? Right now when I turn on my Kitchen light, it sets the Alexa variable to 1. Then about 40 seconds later Alexa says hi.

I got it to work but noticed about a 40 second delay before Alexa performed the task. Anyway to speed this up?

Thanks for the explanation

Instead of variables cant you just use an open status for example? I still dont see how this will make alexa speak

Portal asks for a "Contact Closed Value" to be entered. What should I put?

Oops wrong place

Thanks

Can you have the isy make the Lifx bulbs, strobe?
