You don't have to declare anything. Just create the variable (in this case, $s.KitchenLights is a state variable, which is why I prefix the name with the 's' - If it were an integer variable, I would have named it 'i.KitchenLights'). Once you've created the variable, it's available to use in programs. You have to select the ">" symbol in the AC program interface to select the % or variable you want to use. See screenshot:

Easily done, Here's an example (all the 'sld* devices are Insteon SwitchLinc Dimmers): KitchenLights - [ID 0077][Parent 000A] If $s.KitchenLights is not 1000 Then Set 'Devices / dirKitchen / sldKitchenSink' On '$s.KitchenLights %' Set 'Devices / dirKitchen / sldDining' On '$s.KitchenLights %' Set 'Devices / dirKitchen / sldKitchenIslandSouth' On '$s.KitchenLights %' Set 'Devices / dirKitchen / sldKitchenIslandNorth' On '$s.KitchenLights %' Set 'Devices / dirKitchen / sldTrackLightSouth' On '$s.KitchenLights %' Set 'Devices / dirKitchen / sldTrackLightNorth' On '$s.KitchenLights %' Set 'Devices / dirKitchen / sldUnderCounter' On '$s.KitchenLights %' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This program is used to interface with Alexa, and uses a STATE variable ($s.KitchenLights) to set a brightness value for the lights in the kitchen. "Alexa, set the kitchen lights to 50" will set the STATE variable to 50, which causes this program to run.

Currently, the app runs on M1 and M2 Apple machines.

I find Z-Wave group associations to work, but they're a bit sketchy. I don't really have any useful advice. You might look in this thread to see if there's any useful information:

Right click on one of your Z-Wave devices, then you'll see the Z-Wave | OTA Firmware Upgrade menu items.

Confirmed here. I didn't notice as I don't use that function.

I believe the correct answer is "both".

I use the "say" function, which generates a predetermined TTS message to play on the selected speakers. Example: when someone approaches the front door, the motion sensor in my Ring doorbell activates, which activates an ISY program that plays a TTS announcement, such as, "Someone is at the front door", on a selected device. Here's what the "then" stanza of a program looks like: Then Set 'Devices / dirPolyglot / ST-Sonos / ST-Sonos / Sonos Living Room' Say Someone is at the front door Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The "sayall" function takes longer to actuate, as it creates a Sonos group out of all your speakers before it plays the TTS announcement. It used to struggle a bit returning your Sonos back to the original groupings, but I haven't used the feature in a while. I don't use the MP3 clip function, so I don't know how that works.

Here's a link to look at on how to get "associations" working in Z-Wave. They work with devices in close proximity, but not with the elegance of Insteon scenes.

@Geddy, there is no "Update" button, and the "Install" button is still present. My results on reinstalling are the same as @GTench. Nothing interesting in the YoLink node server log, and below is a snip from the PG3x 3.1.27 log during the upgrade. Doesn't seem that there are any errors or issues: /28/2023, 14:40:03 [pg3] info: Starting log stream for pg3frontend_9AEIN :: /var/polyglot/pg3/ns/0021b9026016_10/logs/debug.log 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: Installing 78312440-23ea-4ed6-9361-9cdc2d5e7c6b 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: [00:21:b9:02:60:16_10] :: Creating Nodeserver 'YoLink' 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: [YoLink(10)]: Stopping Nodeserver 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: call_udx: Making reqeust to socket for /rest/pg3.stop.ns 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: call_udx: /rest/pg3.stop.ns on socket happened. 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: call_udx: /rest/pg3.stop.ns on finish happened. 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] error: getNewLicense: TypeError: Assignment to constant variable. 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: call_udx: incoming chunk {"status":"success"} 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: call_udx: /rest/pg3.stop.ns returns {"status":"success"} 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: YoLink preveously installed, re-installing... 5/28/2023, 14:40:20 [pg3] info: Adding customparams entries to custom database 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: Adding nsdata, oauth entries to custom database 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: [00:21:b9:02:60:16_10] Set nsdata 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: [00:21:b9:02:60:16_10] Set oauth 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: call_udx: /rest/pg3.stop.ns on close happened. 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: Pushing notification {"title":"YoLink (10): Disconnected","body":"from PG3"} to UD Mobile 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: checkLicense:: YoLink Valid perpetual license found. 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: Deploying YoLink's files to node server directory 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: call_udx: Making reqeust to socket for /rest/pg3.install.ns 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: call_udx: /rest/pg3.install.ns on socket happened. 5/28/2023, 14:40:21 [pg3] info: call_udx: /rest/pg3.install.ns on finish happened. 5/28/2023, 14:40:26 [pg3] info: [00:21:b9:02:60:16_4] controller reporting command DON 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: call_udx: incoming chunk {"status":"success"} 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: call_udx: /rest/pg3.install.ns returns {"status":"success"} 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: Installing YoLink on IoX 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: call_udx: /rest/pg3.install.ns on close happened. 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: [00:21:b9:02:60:16_10] 'YoLink' installed into Iox successfully... 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: Installing YoLink's profile files on IoX 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: installProfile: YoLink :: read /var/polyglot/pg3/ns/0021b9026016_10/profile/nodedef 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: Uploading nodedefs.xml 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: installProfile: YoLink :: read /var/polyglot/pg3/ns/0021b9026016_10/profile/editor 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: Uploading editors.xml 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: installProfile: YoLink :: read /var/polyglot/pg3/ns/0021b9026016_10/profile/nls 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: Uploading en_us.txt 5/28/2023, 14:40:27 [pg3] info: Installation complete.

I have a i3 paddle that I haven't installed. I wanted the Mrs. to get a choice between the paddles and dials, and she chose the dials for this application. The paddle worked just fine when controlled by IoX 5.6.0, but local manipulation events using the paddle were unseen, so the status never changed in IoX.

Not sure what's up, but the motion nodes don't have any displayable properties that indicate motion. As for the programs, did you restart the AC after you installed the node server? Be sure to use "Control" in your programs instead of "Status". Below is a program that I'm using, and it's working like a champ. Outdoor Motion - [ID 00CC][Parent 000F] If 'Devices / dirPolyglot / Ring / Ring / Front Door (Motion)' is switched Motion Or 'Devices / dirPolyglot / Ring / Ring / Deck - West (Motion)' is switched Motion Or 'Devices / dirPolyglot / Ring / Ring / Deck - East (Motion)' is switched Motion Or 'Devices / dirPolyglot / Ring / Ring / Side (Motion)' is switched Motion Then Resource 'Device Notification' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I don't use it, but in my YoLink node server configuration, I have an empty slot for "TTS0", and "NBR_TTS" has a value of "1". Just guessing, but have you tried putting some text into the "Value" field of the "TTS0" key? You might try entering some text there, restart the node server and possibly the AC and see if you have a value you can pick in the AC. I suspect that the "NBR_TTS" value in the configuration will indicate how many TTS (text to speech) nodes you want imported into the AC, and the TTS(0,1,2,3,etc.) value gives a distinct name for each TTS node. As I said, I don't use this so it's just a guess...

I know you need a Ring account to link with the node server, but I don't think you need a subscription to the protect plan. I see that the node server has a free trial account, so nothing would be lost to give it a go and find out. The motion detection of the doorbell and cameras works well and is quite useful.

I just purchased/installed it, and all my Ring cameras and doorbells are now available in IoX. Very glad to see this happen. @Geddy, will there be a sub-forum created for this node server? Thanks @bmercier! The previous iteration of this node server was rock solid.

I'm running on an eisy, and I just upgraded. Can't answer your questions, though.

Odd, I'm able to adjust the ramp rate. I have mine set on 0.5 seconds, and I can change it. I do notice that to get the green "Writing" icon to quit displaying I have to toggle the dimmer on/off from the AC, then the icon goes away and the ramp rate is set properly. I haven't tried the backlight yet, as I'll likely never change it due to where these dimmers will be located.

Bug Fixes Insteon I3 Dial status not updated after turning dial Tested, and now the status is updated correctly. I have six of these things to install, replacing Zooz Zen77's.

@bpwwer, this is the first indication I've seen that the Ring node server may come back to life. If it's true, then I'm very pleased to hear it!

I make a backup of IoX every time I make changes, so I can likely survive an IoX update that doesn't go well fairly easily. However, upstream FreeBSD package updates can now break things in ways that would never occur on the ISY994 - node servers seem particularly vulnerable to this - so I'm very much in favor of some sort of update management that UDI, and only UDI, control the content of. Disallowing (or at least not supporting) command line updating has been a good start. For my particular purposes, once IoX reaches feature stability (after Matter is enabled and hopefully settles down), then I'd suggest an option for automatically updating outdated installations to one version behind current after a new version is released, in order to maintain free support. By this I mean IoX/PG3x versions, not FreeBSD versions. It would be up to UDI to manage the host OS. This would put the onus on people to either maintain a Portal account or update their systems periodically, which would no doubt cause some users untold anguish and cause others to abandon the platform. Personally, I don't expect UDI to support every outdated version of IoX/PG3x/FreeBSD that was released, forever. That's crazy. At some point, for some folks, there'll be some pain. For remote installations that do not maintain an Internet connection, or for installations that just fall behind, then some sort of paid update service wouldn't be a terrible idea.

This has been going on ever since the move to FreeBSD/Polisy:

I don't understand Z-Wave nodes all that well, but I suspect that the node you're trying to report on doesn't support an "ST" value. When you use the X-Ray utility, select "Node Info" instead of "Node Definition" on the device, and look between the <properties> ... </properties> tags (if it has any) for the property id to query. I don't have one of the devices you're asking about, but I think I'd have to use the "CLITEMP" property if I wanted to report on the temperature reported by my Z-Wave multi sensor. <properties> <property uom="51" formatted="100%" value="100" id="BATLVL"/> <property prec="1" uom="17" formatted="63.5&#xb0;F" value="635" id="CLITEMP"/> <property uom="36" formatted="0 lux" value="0" id="LUMIN"/> </properties>

There is. See this page in the wiki: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series_INSTEON:Networking#Dynamic/Custom_Page_Creation In the example below, the values from a couple of moisture sensors are inserted into a csv file.

It looks like minor UDX/IoX updates dropped (along with 100 FreeBSD updates). No idea what the changes are. Installed packages to be UPGRADED: udx: 3.3.9_1 -> 3.3.9_2 [udi] Installed packages to be UPGRADED: isy: 5.5.9 -> 5.5.9_1 [udi]

My i3 Dial doesn't send updates to the AC when the state is changed manually, but it does update appropriately when the state is changed in the AC. The release notes indicated "initial support". It's not all the way there yet. EDIT: Nothing appears in the Event Viewer when the device state is manually changed. I choose to understand that "initial support" indicates that it's likely that these switches are now safe to purchase. 🙃
