  1. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking for here, but in version 5.x.x of the ISY firmware, you can save temporal data to variables (see screenshot). As for this, there are two Polyglot nodeservers, Holidays and HolidaysGoogle. I don't use either one, but I do know that the HolidaysGoogle nodeserver uses the calendar of your Google/Gmail account. You'll need to be on the 5.x.x series of firmware to use Polyglot
  2. I wouldn't downgrade. I had problems with my Schlage BE 469 deadbolt as well. A couple of things you can try: delete it from your ISY (not Exclude) and try a "Z-Wave | Tools | Synchronize Nodes" and see if it comes back with it's proper functionality. I eventually had to perform an "Exclude | Include" on the lock to get it to work properly, but I was able to do that with the lock still in place, and that's due to my having the 500 series Z-Wave board installed in my ISY. I'm not sure if everyone can get this result, as the signal might need Z-Wave + devices all the way to your lock for this to work, I don't know. It worked for me, however.
  3. I have a Z-Wave Water Cop valve and it has always shown up as a binary switch. In my setup, the status of On = Closed and Off = Open. It does, however, operate very reliably.
  4. Okay, I've got it and connected to the portal. Looks like that piece works just fine. In iOS, it appears that it uses "pull to refresh" to get a current sync of system state, but it appears that can only be done from the home screen? BTW, nice job of parsing the folder names and adding an appropriate picture for the folder.
  5. @io_guy is, though I don't think he's released an install script for the Polisy as of yet:
  6. You really should be using the ISY Launcher instead of 'admin.jnlp' See this thread: I believe the devices shown in red can be scene controllers, whereas the devices in blue can only be responders.
  7. This iOS app controls my camera just fine. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/foscam/id924381688
  8. I believe those have been gone for some time, but I’ve never shopped for them so I could easily be wrong.
  9. I just bought some last month in light almond. They were a bit hard to find on their website, but they were there.
  10. If this new PLM actually sees the light of day, then I think Smarthome might be indicating that they’re up to something interesting with Insteon. My hope is that they’re not simply placating the UDI/Indigo crowd with this device, but that they’re releasing it as a prerequisite for something new on their end. Ensuring the loyalty of HA early adopters like the folks here is important, but this crowd is also wedded to UDI. I’ll bet that they would like to grow their own ecosystem as well, which the current hub probably can’t manage. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/28097-advanced-iot-bridge-interface/
  11. I don't think it is. You can control Foscam cameras using MobiLinc, however. For that you'll need a portal or use port forwarding through your firewall. See the MobiLinc website or visit the MobiLinc forum on this website for more information.
  12. The portal has nothing really to do with this. You'll need to run Polyglot on a secondary device, such as a Raspberry Pi, and you'll need to be running the current 5.x.x ISY firmware.
  13. FWIW, here's a screenshot from the Camera nodeserver. I believe the only control you'll have is to send your camera to preset positions (I don't use that feature, so I can't report on how well it works).
  14. Good catch. I just got my email notification that all my leak sensors had a missed heartbeat, and likewise, all the values for leak sensors in the AC are blank. I'm running this set of programs: I just re-ran the "then" stanza of the "Leak Startup" program in case it didn't get started properly on startup. I'll be out of town for a couple of days, so we'll see what it looks like when I return. Fortunately, then house will be occupied.
  15. You can do this easily using the REST interface of your ISY and the utility 'curl'. Try something like this: curl -u USER:PASSWORD http://192.168.x.xx/rest/vars/set/1/3/16 This will set the value of variable type 1 (INTEGER), variable number 3 to the value of 16. If you were changing a variable of type 2 (STATE), the script would look like .../rest/set/2/3/16. Put that into a script and you're golden.
  16. You'd think that the ISY would be very tolerant, being event driven. The PLM has to be at least somewhat tolerant, given the uncertain/unscheduled nature of the i/o environment it deals with. We're not running polled SCADA systems here. Stuff happens with it happens. I would think that this might come down to something as simple as the availability of buffers in the PLM (just speculation, I have no idea how the PLM actually works). This could be an interesting experiment for someone with the right resources.
  17. Currently, I don't think so, but I don't know, and with the current PLM, it's impossible to know. But, there's a Polisy out now, and I understand that UDI wants to migrate the ISY to it. More system resources equals more links?
  18. With the new PLM in the FCC database (4000 links), then this might be practical, provided it works.
  19. Update to this thread: I purchased a reconditioned LiFX + BR30 Night Vision Enabled bulb to place in an outdoor soffit fixture. It's controlled by an Insteon SwitchLinc dimmer switch. I set the dimmers "On Level" to 100% and the "Ramp Rate" to 0.1 seconds. The purpose of this light is to illuminate an area at the rear of the house that is covered by cameras. The previous LED that was in the fixture needed to be sufficiently bright for the cameras. This caused a fair bit of light leakage around the window dressings in a bedroom. The LiFX light, however, emits infrared when turned to very low light levels (currently, I have the light set to approx. 2% illumination at night), which noticeably helps the cameras, and greatly reduces the light leakage into the bedroom. The light is controlled by the LiFX Polyglot nodeserver. The light turns on to full brightness under certain conditions when motion is detected by the cameras, and the response to motion has so far been rapid and acceptable. The color temperature of this bulb has been set to match the rest of the LED soffit lights, so the exterior lighting all looks uniform. The SwitchLinc dimmer controls this light perfectly, as long as the "On Level" is set to 100%. I haven't tried setting the "Ramp Rate" to anything other than 0.1 seconds. The switch is completely controlled by the ISY, and is almost never physically touched. In any event, this setup works fine.
  20. I know you need to enable the Java cache, so you might try clicking on the checkbox shown in your screenshot. I don't run Windows but occasionally in a VMWare prision, so I'm not certain about Windows firewall issues. I just started the AC using "start.jnlp" after completely updating my Windows installation, and Windows Defender complained. You might check your security settings.
  21. You saved 'start.jnlp' to you desktop (or wherever), and ran it from there? It sounds as if you're still starting the older version, "admin.jnlp".
  22. Nope, you need the file: start.jnlp You can download it from the link below. Nobody needs any holiday stress from their HA systems... ?
  23. Are you using the ISY Launcher to launch the AC instead of your browser? It works like a charm on my iMac.
  24. I’ll be back next week, prior to turkey day. I’ll look at my service file and repost it. I bounced NodeLink just before I left, and it started successfully and continues to run (I get several notifications daily that report changing values in NodeLink nodes). BTW, my experience with NodeLink on an RPi has been exceptional, both with Mono and now with DotNet. I’m expecting the same when I install it on my Polisy. No crashes, no nonsense.
