@MrBill is right. HA was an excellent solution before UD Mobile arrived. But now I mostly use UD Mobile on my phone and also on my computer (using Bluestack). But HA is pretty good and ? I paid one year in advance so I am trying to make best use of it. Also, I am an active user of Chromecast and that is very user friendly on HA.

Thanks, HA DOES discover both my ISY and IoP, but for a weird reason it does not connect to my ISY as before, even though I am 100% sure that I put the correct URL:port and username/password. I have tried numerous times.

My issue is different..... After linking ISY on Polisy to HA the latter no longer links to my ISY. Supposedly HA can link to more than one ISY. I removed IoP from HA and tried to link ISY back again, but systematically it shows "not loaded".

I also have issues with the PG3 version and I also reverted to using the PG2 version.

I actually use 9 calendars with HG but this shows only a few. If you still have issues, then pm me with your phone nr and I'll try to guide you over the phone.

I will send you a picture in a moment, but did you add the Google Authentication Token ?

In configuration you will see the name (s) of your calendar(s). In Calendar Name, you must copy/paste, in a separate Add Value for each, the calendar(s) for which you want a Today and Tomorrow node to be added to your ISY and then click on save. Instead of copy/paste you can just type the name but I find it easier to copy/paste to make sure that I have the exact spelling.

Same as what happened when updating 1.0.1 to 1.0.2, when updating to 1.0.3 the message to update does not go away even though the update appears completed.

To clarify (just in case it makes a difference) I run both ISY and ISY on Polisy. The reason is that I have some 80 Zwave devices and there is no Zwave migration tool yet. I manually moved some 12 Zwave devices (2 rooms) to IoP, so in fact I "split" my home in 2. When the PG3 came out, I removed the PG2 and installed PG3 first only on ISY where I have numerous programs using Holidays Google. This caused the issues described earlier. I removed and re-installed the PG3 several times, but the problems remained. I then decided to go back to PG2 on my ISY but kept the PG3 version on IoP. On IoP I have no programs running Holidays Google. Thinking about your explanation, I am not sure that it explains as initially I was no longer running PG2.

@bpwwer The good news is that you were able to replicate my error. The other thing is that when I restarted the Node server on IoP (to get latest version) it did indeed show 1.0.1, but in the dashboard it still showed the message that I needed to restart to get new version. I tried several times, but ended up to delete and re-install the Node server. That worked, but now in the Administrative Console instead of True or False, it shows 1 or 0 :

I had several issues while using Holidays Google of PG3 and went back to PG2. With my Google Calendar sub calendars, the Node server created several nodes, 2 fort each sub calendar and 1 for the controller. Some of these nodes seemed to work properly but show "0" on either the day or year. When I restarted the Node server in PG3 to see if this would be corrected (it did not), none of nodes showed in the Node server "Nodes" and in the Administrative Console, the "Holidays Node server Online" shows " 1 " and I am pretty sure that it showed " True " before. In the log I notice an error " 2022-04-22 11:53:24,892 Thread-2 udi_interface ERROR holidays:parameterHandler: Error getting credentials: (invalid_grant) Bad Request " I deleted and re-installed the Node server a few times, but the same situation happens again (some nodes 'date' or ' year' appearing as ' 0 ' and the nodes disappearing in the PG3 Node server Dashboard. Furthermore, in PG2 on several occasions, if I had an event the following day the Tomorrow node would correctly show True but then at midnight the Today node remained at False, with the Tomorrow node still (incorrectly) at True. Firstone looked several times at my logs and could not find anything wrong and together we concluded that maybe one of my many Holidays Google related programs somehow created a problem. HOWEVER, when I installed HG PG3 on Isy on Polisy, and not having any programs using HG on IoP, I noted that the same happened. My understanding now is that the issue is not because any of my programs (because there none on my IoP). The issue still happens from time to time on the PG2 version and in fact last night when I entered an event today in my Google calendar, the relevant Tomorrow node remained at False until I rebooted Polisy. I am not techie enough to understand whether or not the rebooting of Polisy was the reason of the correct node status. As mentioned above, I have gone back to using the PG2 version of HG. This is one of my favorite node servers and hopefully the cause of the day mis-match can be identified.

The general understanding is that your Zwave mesh network will run at tle lowest common denominator. I have some 80 Zwave devices, a few of which still are of the 300 series, most are 500 and a few are 700. One of the most important benefits of 700 series is longer distance and faster speed. In my specific case the distance is not an issue as I have more than enough Zwave devices to have a well working mesh network. Theoretically the speed of my network should be at the lowest common denominator of 300 series. However I believe that it depends on the route taken by each device. If a device uses a 300 series on the route to the ISY, then that route will be at 300. However if the route only uses 500 series (or 700) then the speed should be of the 500 series. In my case the 300 series are in a specific corner of my home and I don't think that they are used by (m)any other devices, so they should not slow down my network. I am slowly transferring my Zwave devices from my ISY to the ISY on Polisy. The latter has a 700 series USB dongle. I think that it is impossible to keep up with the changing Zwave standards (my name is neither Gates, Bezos or Musk) because by the time I would replace all my 300 and 500 series devices with 700 series, the 800 series comes out etc etc. Generally the speed of my network is fine, except in programs that run on a motion sensor, where there can be a seconds delay.

I have mine setup with 1 click is ON 2 clicks is OFF

I am not sure that this is correct. I have some 65 Zwave devices on my ISY (plus some 15 on IoP). The ST Inventory Node server on my ISY lists 267 Zwave nodes. My interpretation is that Zwave allows for some 232 Zwave devices, with most devices having several nodes.

I assume that this includes the PLM. If so, as long as you Insteon fans can keep the PLM and switchs alive till then, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. If they started selling in 2006, then most likely the patent is a bit older.

How old is Insteon's patent and when will it expire ? I remember (was it Lutron's ?) the Zwave status reporting's patent expiring in 2016, so what about Insteon ?

Yes you can order the Zwave 500 dongle for ISY but a much wiser move is to get Polisy with a Zwave 700 stick. The initial expense is higher, but by far a smarter move. Also, starting a Zwave network on ISY on Polisy is easier than migrating Zwave from ISY to ISY on Polisy.

You are right. The condo came with 4 plain old fan wall switches. As it happened in 3 of the 4 switch boxes I had space to add a switch, and in the other case I was able to cut out in the wall panel to add a box. I was lucky and I understand that this is not always easy.

Of course !!!!!!! I just wanted to share an alternative.

Reading the above posts, I read up about the Bond bridge. It probably (reading the posts) works well but if you already have a Zwave setup, I prefer my solution. I have a dimmer switch for the Fan Lamp and a Fan controller switch for the fan, and no need for an alternative system to make it all work, as it is perfectly integrated in my ISY with both manual control and in ISY programs as well as UD Mobile. No need to spend more than $ 400.

I use one (Zwave) dimmer switch for the light and another (Zwave) fan switch for the fan. I have 4 fans in my home and this works fine.

I understand and yes there are alternatives. For me the Holidays Google is the Node server that I use most. I have 9 sub calendars in my Google calendar with many programs managing my lights, curtains and music.

That would work for holidays that always have the same date (December 25), but not for 'floating' holidays. However you can create a floating calendar "holidays", and then manually create a whole day event in the calendar, using that calendar. I have done that for the coming five years and it took me probably 10 minutes. Then create a program in ISY using the respective node. It sounds more compliacted than it is.

That is what I did with Google Holidays. I created a sub-calendar named Holidays in my Google calendar. On a particular holiday, let's say that I want Cinco de Mayo, I will create a all-day event on May 5 using the Holidays sub-calendar. After that in ISY's Administrative Console on May 4, the Tomorrow node for Holidays will be True and on May 5 the Today node will be True. This allows me to run programs using the relevant Tomorrow and/or Today node. I have some issues with the PG 3 version of Holidays Google, some are the same that I sometimes have with the PG 2 version but I also have some other issues. I have sent a pm to @firstone with the logs.

Michel, if it ever happens again then I will try to remember to get my Son's ISY log, but the reboot resolved the issue.
