  1. Very reasonable.
  2. Excellent. Not only does this reward the authors, but it also motivates to keep nodeservers up-to-date. Bravo !
  3. Thanks. You just confirmed what I had understood. When is PG 3 available ?
  4. Can you explain to me as I am confused by the terminology ? Is PG3 versus PG2 the same issue as getting ISY on Polisy, or are these unrelated ? In other words, can I upgrade to PG3 even though ISY on Polisy is not yet ready ?
  5. As I have posted before, I have one switchbox in my home where it is practically impossible to get a Neutral wire. My initial solution was to add the Ecolink switch control and this worked, but it is battery powered with heavy consumption (frequent change of batteries). It also does not have the nicest look. However it works ! Then Inovelli came out with their No Neutral needed switches and, after sweat and almost tears, I was able to include that switch to my ISY. After a few months it no longer responded in my ISY. I first did a factory reset of the switch with no result, then replaced it with a similar Inovelli switch, which also did not work, and finally went back to the Ecolink switch. A few days ago I noticed the GE Enbrighten 52252 switch which is also supposed to work without Neutral. I received it this morning. It actually does not have a Neutral connector, so it can not be used if & when you want to use it with a Neutral wire. The installation took a few minutes and it connected right away to my ISY and so far it works perfectly. I used to be impressed by Inovelli, mostly because of their innovative products, but I often have issues with their switches and light bulbs. A few months ago they posted about their future strategy and I concluded, from their explanation, that they are not very profitable and that may explain some quality issues. I wish them the best and hopefully their new strategy will work and give them a long life, but for the time being I stay away from Inovelli, focusing on GE/Jasco and Homeseer Zwave devices, though I am now also impressed by Zooz.

    Zwave Three way

    Zwave is backwards compatible but will slow down to the oldest Zwave series. I still have some pre-500 devices. My assumption is (but would like confirmation) that the speed depends on the mesh route taken by a device. If I put a 700 series switch (once the dongle is 700) closest to the ISY-Polisy, and that device reaches the ISY wihout going through another mesh device, I assume that it will work at 700 speed. If my assumption is right, I should starts replacing my older devices with 700 series, from close to the ISY, from the center of the circle gradually to the far end of he circle. Am I right with my assumption ?

    Zwave Three way

    1, Dont know yet. I generally prefer GE/Jasco or Homeseer, but keep an eye on Zooz. 2. Basically ALL non-battery Zwave devices include repeater

    Zwave Three way

    I have the same hope and once we have the Zwave on Polisy, I will gradually change my switches to the 700 series. I probably have more than 40 Zwave switches in my home, so it will be a gradual and expensive experience.

    Zwave Three way

    1 a and 1b work only when manually clicking on either switch (1a) IF Switch 1 Control is ON THEN Switch 2 is ON (1b) IF Switch 2 Control is ON THEN Switch 1 is ON The same with OFF to switch OFF 2a and 2b work not only when manually pressing the switch but also in the Administrative Console, UD Mobile or in a ISY program. (2a) IF Status Switch 1 is ON THEN Switch 2 ON (2b) IF Status Switch 2 in ON THEN Switch 1 ON and same for OFF There other possibilities and most likely others in this forum will suggest something else, but this works.

    Zwave Three way

    There are several ways. First you have auxiliary switches working as 3 -way. Inovelli switches (and maybe also Zooz) can work as 3-way with the "slave" switch just a plain old standard switch, and lastly you can use 2 Zwave switches working together as 3-way with a program in ISY.
  11. Please let @Teken and @lilyoyo1 know of your availability ?
  12. Exciting future
  13. Hey, I am KJ4QYF
  14. I like the granite kitchen top I put mine where it belongs..... in the Polisy. That way I won't lose it.
  15. Now you got me confused...... Let me ponder on this for a few days ?
  16. @Teken time for a nice cup of tea.....
  17. Strange indeed. Mine arrives tomorrow, even though it may be a while before Polisy is ready for Zwave.

  19. no(t yet)
  20. As you have several of the same Honeywell devices, have you tried to exchange locations and see if you may have a defective one ?
  21. I have about 80 Zwave devices in my network. A lot depends on the brand that you are using. Generally I prefer Homeseer and GE/Jasco, though recently I have added Zooz devices. I have become less positive on Inovelli devices, thoug sometimes they have features that other brands do not (yet) have. If you have 50 devices, and if most of these are non-battery, then you should not really need repeaters, as all non-battery Zwave devices function as repeater as well. What is the device that gives you grey hair ? (What brand ?).
  22. @MrBill is right..... I just looked at those that had been active most recently, and I should have done a better job at it. My apologies ! I really hope that we can make this a reality and get together with Michel & team in LA. In fact, I would use the opportunity for some of you to look at my ISY programs and give me some serious ideas for improvement
  23. @Jimboit would not be anything without you
