A way to notify us that there is an update in the app and what it fixes would be helpful. If we're having problems, we can view how many versions we're behind and what each one fixes. then a simple click to update would be great

Keeping DHCP as default is fine. Taking away the ability to configure static isn't.

I have a small segment for DHCP on my network. that DHCP segment is for workstations, laptops, phones and other things that come and go. And they get reclaimed and reused after the lease. I have reserved the upper portion of my /24 network for my hardware devices, cameras, consoles, surveillance cameras and so on. They are all static. I then ensure any necessary hardware things don't change. Using DHCP and reservations works. Yes, but you're not going to have happy customers here. People will move on. This is a competitive space and my 994 has been a rock solid solution. That's why I'm still here. I've got my eisy all mounted and ready to go but waiting because I have ~20 zwave devices including mounted Bali shades that I will need to migrate. I really don't want to take each shade down and move them over to the eisy to pair them to the new system and then set everything up again. I hear there will be a way to migrate zwave soon. I hope. If not, then maybe I stay on the isy and return my eisy, zwave/matter and cable until the bugs are worked out. I have about 50+ insteon devices and like I said about 20 zwave with 100 or so programs and variables. If there is a migration tool (maybe this is the backup/restore) that brings everything over including static IP, then it would be as simple as a backup, turn off the ISY, restore to eisy and test. Maybe the zwave pairing with the old board in the isy will make the zwave process not work. hopefully there is a workable solution. Waiting on the sidelines for now. Maybe this weekend I'll dedicate to trying to migrate this the first time.

Oh my gosh (I had a different word here). I finally found where to sign up for more info... This REALLY IS NOT EASY to find. For those who don't know... I had to go to the UDI site, then click on my account, log in with my ISY portal, (what happens if I don't have that?) and then check all the boxes. I was expecting a simple form to sign up to the newsletter. Anyway, I've checked ALL the boxes. For all of you telling me I'm not paying attention... I am now I guess. Oh, and I've been a customer/member since 2014

I've also wondered about this... I couldn't find out why there were color differences.

OP here... I'm extremely busy with work, family, home projects and other things. I'm a DevOps engineer and IT for many years. I follow TONS of rags and some things I can't 100% keep up with. I'm learning python, docker, ansible, kubernetes and other automation technologies for work and I'm 110% busy. I helped @simplextech test his integration years ago (I think I was the first) and discovered that the thermostat needed to be on Manual for it to work. It was fine till it got upgraded and I needed to set it up again. I did and then it got changed again and again (I'm not sure but I stopped banging my head). So, I figured set it on manual and go on my way. I've been checking the UD store for the "sold out" polisy's hoping that they would be in stock some time (about a year?) but there wasn't any news there that they were going away. Then they were taken off the site. I do get emails from UDI. But seems like there hasn't been much. Maybe sales[at]universal-devices.com isn't the right news list. https://www.universal-devices.com/insider-scoop/ doesn't have anything on it. For the past 10 minutes, I've been looking for a link to sign up for the emails people have been talking about without success. Nothing on their website I can find. So, I've got the website, the Wiki, and the forum. that's pretty much it. The https://polyglot.isy.io/ site doesn't allow logins (maybe broken for me) but I think it did earlier this week. I go to the forum when I need help... My inbox from universal devices... Check the dates on the right (I don't delete anything... LOL): I went to fix it because I'm between home renovation projects because of the upcoming holidays. I didn't know PGx was no longer for the ISY. I went to the polyglot store, I went to the wiki, I went in circles trying to figure out how to get it up and running again. I do have a Pi and maybe PG2 will work for me. I don't want to start that unless eisy is far away (which it sounds like it's very soon). I'm going to remind that I love the product and I have to wait now. That's fine. Just seems like the obvious places to look for news aren't working for me. When searching the forums, I find old irrelevant posts that seem to steer me in the wrong direction because of out dated products. I get it. There should be a post on the news and announcements saying that the Polisy will be replaced by eisy soon and why (make the post title obvious). Up until yesterday, there wasn't anything easily findable. I don't even see a signup link on the main website for news but since I'm getting emails, I figured I was on the right list. Maybe not so... Where do I sign up? So, that's why I posted... How do I get on the list to get a eisy? ...Less confused Ed

Oh good on the hardware coming in weeks and not months. I'll keep an eye open. I've always loved UDI and how well it works. That may be a disadvantage as I forget about my automation and/or having to deal with it because it runs so well. Thanks for the info. Ed

The UD Mobile app looks like it's gotten a lot of upgrades since I tried it last. Because I haven't been following how UD has been changing things, I'm a bit confused how to get this back up and running. It has Polyglot in the Admin dashboard with no explanation that it only works with Polisy. So, what you're saying is that there is no way to connect my ISY994i to a polyglot server online any longer. Right? And the only way to do so is by installing PG2 it on a Pi or Linux machine and going that route or buying the old Polisy (ha! I thought this would be the new device going forward. I was fooled) And I assume that since UD isn't selling the Polisy any longer, there won't be any development. I'll wait till you guys get the new eisy. I feel it would be better to create something that doesn't require UDI to produce hardware for. Something that can run in docker or K8s or just on a Pi. The Wiki and forum don't have an easy way to find that this functionality is just gone unless you use a Pi. Sorry, without the knowledge you guys have for years, finding stuff that's still relevant on UDI isn't easy. I'll go the Pi route. Sorry, I may sound frustrated because I am now. I love my ISY but it seems the documentation on where to go today isn't great. Don't let the bus run you over as you stumble in the road guys...

I've got my trusty ISY994 running (for like 10 years or so) and missed the "Polisy" purchase (since I think they are no longer building these) and want to get my NuHeat up and running again with my ISY. I guess Polisy isn't coming back so now what? (don't answer this without helping out below). But... the polyglot server v1, v2 seem to not work and V3 is just for the Polisy. So, I'm now totally confused on how to get this node server back up and running. I've searched and searched the forms and WIKI for instructions. It seems like it's now all in the UD Mobile app... Is that correct? I've setup my UD Mobile and went to Admin > Polyglot V3 and I get the error: LOCAL IP ADDRESS is not set for the system. System Name: Home. 500 If I can get help fixing this, will it let me get the Nuheat node server up and running again? If not, then what do I do? thanks, Ed

So this uses their IFTT service at wevolor.com (or where ever he has it)? And he asks for a donation. If his services goes away, they stop working. Right?

Ok. Reset the dimmer and then restored the device. That fixed it! All you guys are great!!! I guess I'm really lucky the two devices were right next to each other. The switch was right next to the door and the light for the switch was on the outside of the wall. I was wondering why those lights were randomly off when they should be on. Then yesterday, I went through the door and the light went on and off. I was like... What the hell is going on? Opened and closed the door and the light responded. Checked the ISY and there was no link. So, if there was some random INSTEON linking between any other two devices, I think I would have gone crazy trying to figure out what was going on. Is there a way to see the links between Insteon devices outside of the ISY without having a INSTEON Hub? Thanks again guys!!

Found it. I'll reset the device and I guess I'll do this on all of them. This has never happened before

program lock... Is that in the ISY? I've never seen that. I need more cookies

Will do. Maybe tomorrow. I'm going to sign out for the night. Not sure how they got linked. Neither one has been messed with for years and years. I'll follow up.

I have an hidden door sensor that's been in place for years. Now, suddenly... whenever it's open, our outdoor garage lights turn on. When it's closed, they turn off. The only thing this is setup to do is to trigger a resource which sends me a push to pushover. I have around 100 programs (all organized of course by room) and I don't see any programs that are using it and the device shows that it's not a controller or responder. Ideas on how to track this down? I have no idea when it started. Sometime within the last few months. EddieRock
