This is not specific to the MyQ Nodeserver. Home Assistant has the same issue and apparently same with Homebridge. It appears that MyQ deliberately blocks 3rd party applications to connect. My assumption is that MyQ wants to develop/promote their own paid ecosystem.

I still have a couple of these, but they are old Zwave 300 and I replaced them with Kasa light bulbs. I noticed that there are ZigBee Smart Light Bulb Sockets on the market. There even may be equivalent wifi devices. I also found these on the internet but $ 50 seems expensive and they are different from the ones I have.

Smart suggestion..... This is probably my favorite nodeserver and it works, so I am leaving it alone for the time being.

I have seen the same for several weeks and now just ignore that update.

It is interesting and frustrating at the same time how these things work differently. In IoX I was able to create programs that include announcements made on Alexa. With Home Assistant I have been unable to do the same with Alexa, but succeeded with Google Home, using a input_boolean helper.

Is there anything I can help with ?

As previously mentioned, I use the Holidays Google calendar nodeserver. In your Google Calendar you can select any (and multiple) calendars of interest, including US holidays, Jewish, Muslim and even sport calendars. These can then be used in IoX programs in IF. Note that this nodeserver only acts on whole day events, which should not be an issue with holidays.

Interesting, but I am not sure that I need this. I have 4 Alexa voice routines that run as part of wake-up programs (*). The same IoX programs that set the relevant variable to 1, do set the variable back to 0 after a few minutes. Would I need your program as well ? (*) these wake-up programs themelves are initiated by events in Google Calendar

I have a few Alexa routines that are triggered when a specific IoX variable is set to 1. Earlier today I tried to do the same with GH, but no success (so far).

I do not have Insteon, so keep that in mind However, it should not matter if you go through IoX and ISY Portal account. Others may chime in. While I have both Google Home and Alexa, so far I have only implemented Alexa routines.

One way is to create a program without IF and in THEN set variable X to 1, ELSE set variable X to 0. When you have guests you run THEN and when guests leave you run ELSE. In my case, I have a few programs that act on a condition in my Google calendar (using Holidays Google Nodeserver) . In your situation you would create a calendar named " Guests" and in that calendar you would create an all-day event on the days that you have guests. In the Administrative Console, IF Guests Calendar is True THEN Variable X = 1 There are other possibilities.

I have seen two different issues. Initially after migrating to eisy, it happened a few times that eisy would not recognize the Zwave usb. Usually this was resolved after a eisy power cycle. Fortunately I have not had this issue for quite some time now. The other issue that I have seen, including recently, is that after a reboot some Zwave devices show empty in the Administrative Console and then also do not react on a program command. When I click on Query or ON or OFF on these devices, they come back.

No.

Same as me. I have not had this issue in a while and I don't remember how it was resolved. Sorry not to be helpful. I am sure that UD will follow up on your ticket and get this resolved.

Are you on Polisy/Zooz/ZMatter or eisy ? I have had this a few times in the past but not lately. What version are you on ?

I don't see a gear icon at the top right of the Notifications tab of UD Mobile.

or you can go to Polisy without Zmatter board and just the Zooz 7 series dongle.

Most of us are partisan to our existing setup. The real question is what would we recommend to someone starting from zero.

This is an ongoing debate and the concensus in this forum is that Insteon is better than Zwave. I don't dispute this from a technical view point, but as someone who ditched Insteon 9 years ago to switch to Zwave, I disagree that "zwave is a nightmare" . It has its issues but there are many more products and my system works well. We have seen what happened to Insteon recently and we still have to see whether the new ownership will succeed, though I wish it all the success of the world.

@gduprey (1) All tech products have a eol and not surprising that it now happens to isy994i (2) Polisy is still being serviced for time being and upgrade to eisy or ZMatter on Polisy is not (yet) required . (3) Is it not commendable that UD gives us the option of a product with Matter compatibility as well as more power ? If change from ZW to ZY is that big of an issue, then simply stay with Polisy without ZMatter.

The change from ZW to ZY is for everybody. Which 3rd party integrations are impacted ?

My eisy does not crash frequently, but occasionally it does. My solution has been to put the eisy on a Kasa switch and then in Home Assistant, or directly in the Kasa App on my phone, I power cycle eisy. It makes it easier and especially useful when traveling.

I did and in the store it shows that the ns was updated today. However in the dashboard there is no update message and even when I restart the ns anyway, it remains on 20. Not at all urgent for me, but just fyi.

3.0.21 not yet available.

I am grateful to all developers of nodeservers. Most likely they have day jobs and other more important things to do. That is why I have been arguing that nodeservers should have an annual fee, so that developers are motivated to update their ns. I am sure that nodeservers may stop working for a variety of reasons, not necessarily because of the nodeserver itself, though sending the log to the developer makes good sense. I understand that we will soon have the option to remotely access PG3 and that may address part of the concern. Nevertheless, being able to create a program that restarts a nodeserver, when it stopped communicating with Polisy/eisy, would be very helpful.
