Bumbershoot

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.

As a dimmer, they work exactly as intended for my purposes. These things are in a bathroom and closet, so my use cases for them are fairly simple and I haven't exercised every possible use case I can think of, i.e., I don't know if they audibly beep, etc. I haven't installed the Dial that will be used as an on/off switch yet, but when I put it in my test jig, it worked.

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:

For the i3 dial and paddle, each device can be configured as either a switch or a dimmer, and they will be firmware upgradable (at some future point).

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]

I gave my i3 Dial a quick run in my test jig last night (running 5.5.9 on an eisy) and no data was presented in the Event Viewer when status was changed at the device. Actually, I didn’t notice any change in behavior from 5.5.7. I’m delighted that UDI is working on supporting these devices, however.

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. 🙃

@JP, you can always send an email to support@universal-devices.com

Sorry, I missed your thread about this. I've never seen this behavior, though I'll look for it. I have one where parameter 3 is set to 1 (motion sensor in manual mode), and it shares a junction box with a Homeseer Z-Wave dimmer. I use the seven Homeseer LED's as security sentinels (colors change as external doors open and close), so I'm changing parameters on that switch frequently. I'll look in the logs for motion activation when I write to the Homeseer. I have two other switches in their own junction boxes and they work very reliably. There's new firmware, but it doesn't address the issue you're describing. https://github.com/jascoproducts/firmware/tree/main/zwave/Enbrighten-GE/ZW4006/26931 - In-Wall Motion Switch%2C 500S/5.39

I understand. Mine were so-so as well, until I adjusted the motion sensitivity up to "High". That fixed it for my purposes.

This isn't OpenHab related, but what you're seeing is normal for those devices. See this link:

No, he just said that UDI has samples and documentation, and that they intend on supporting it. Nothing about which UDI platform, but since ISY994i is EOL, I doubt they'll support it there.

Like the i3 Dial, the i3 Paddle can be used as either an on/off switch or a dimmer. I hope light almond will be available...

Ken said that ISY will support the new i3 Paddle, which should be available next week. EDIT: I don't know if this link will work: https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/play/zuI1PTw_DxoCA1r1y097HYR5tkWlneU_PZjitbH2EqpV6ALLpPEb95_c_I1bKiuz9Ob8iBIQs5BNNCmX.P5J_-M_XWF9TSxgQ?startTime=1676663973000&_x_zm_rtaid=OdopTLzVQ4SnCkRoLT9Lnw.1676728532099.b153b0b239f9c5ca527bd3db2549b934&_x_zm_rhtaid=545 Passcode is: VkL0*x?d

They're not the best looking things in the world, but they're fairly configurable and very reliable. I have some in occupancy mode - where they turn on the attached load, and others in manual mode - where they send a motion signal to IoX but don't turn on the load. They respond very quickly to motion, I've found. I wish Insteon would produce something like these. I really prefer Insteon for lighting, and they make a motion sensor...
