Constant Subscription Settings Notification on UD Mobile
This^ is what I was looking for. My old phone stopped upgrading at android 10, so I could do a partial swipe to go to notification settings. New phone is Android 13 and I wasn't aware of the long button press. So doing that I was able to limit the notifications for subscription settings. Thanks for the quick feed back.

Can Admin Console stay open on windows PC
I run my admin console almost constantly. BUT, I notice two issues. 1. If I have any type of network interruption, the AC locks up and I have to go to task manager to kill the java app. 2. Recently, I have turned back on sleep mode and when I wake up the PC later, I find the Admin console is in some weird state, sort of functional, but not really. If I create a new program, it doesn't work completely until I restart the Admin console. If I need to review the variable tables, I have to hit refresh variables before the data is correct. So, for me, it seems if I want the AC to continuously work, I have to make sure my PC doesn't sleep or lose connection.

Constant Subscription Settings Notification on UD Mobile
I upgraded my Android phone to a new phone and with that I got new updated apps, including UD Mobile. It was version 1.1.45. Right away I started getting these Subscription Settings notifications multiple times a day. I understand what the setting does, but I can't find a way to stop them. (minor inconvenience I know, lol). So I updated my UD Mobile app a few weeks later to 1.1.51 and there has been no relief. My time out is set to 120 (minutes I assume) and I tried changing it to a higher number, but no noticeable change in the notifications. Am I missing something? Other than that, I love the UD app. Thanks for the support and upgrades on it.

KeypadLinc 3D Printed buttons
Would you upload the .STL file for us to play with? It would be nice if it were blank also, i.e. no imbedded text. Also is your white filament translucent enough for the light to come through? I wasn't sure if it needed a special translucent filament or not.

could not match node type. 500 - Error opening folder bug?
Hey all, I just updated my UD Mobile app on my Android to 1.0.35 about 2-3 days ago. Now I have a folder I had for a long time that will not open but pops up an error saying: "could not match node type. 500" I can cancel the error, but I cannot access the folder contents. Other folders are working fine. I display in integer variable on the folder. I removed the variable and now it works. I put the variable back on the folder button and it throws the same error again. I recreated it to test what is going on after adding the display variable to the folder button, it is now throwing the same error message. Obviously my work around is to display the variable as it's own button for now.

Insteon acquired and servers coming back up
In keeping up with the latest news, both Intel and AMD have now both forecast about a 20% downturn in near future chip production due to so many ongoing order cancellations. So you can probably spread that across most of the chip production industry. Not a good sign for the tech economy but it does mean that some orders are probably moving to the front of the queues. Of course that is probably only the tip of the iceberg as many buyers were placing duplicate and triplicate orders with multiple vendors hoping that one would come through and then they cancel the other orders. These chickens are coming home to roost.

Maybe they'll do the same for all the dead PLMs out there. (-;

Wow, I didn't know that any "Nokia" branded products were ever shipped. Did I misunderstand your post or did you actually get some of their Nokia products? Thanks,

Everyone on this forum that use an ISY or Polisy and Insteon should post immediately on this link. They are asking for input. Keep your input concise and focused on the benefit UDI brings to the success and longevity of Insteon and how much Insteon needs to support UDI and make the PLM available, improved and/or licensed to UDI. If enough of us do this we may get their attention and move this issue up their priority list. They want to know what will help make Insteon successful, so tell them and let them know you want to continue to buy from them. I would avoid a long laundry list and it will only water down our primary focus on Insteon's success by partnering with UDI. Make your voice heard!

ISY and Insteon 2982-222 Smoke Detector Bridge
I plugged mine in recently using my ISY 5.x and it populated in it with several items. I didn't have a compatible smoke detector so I couldn't check that part out. Now I just use it as an RF repeater. Works great for that. Here is what is showing up on the Admin console:

Any Ceiling Fans have zwave built in?
Not sure all that the Pro model includes, first I have heard of it. I have the regular one and it is great. Bond has a comparison guide here: https://bondhome.io/product/bond-bridge-pro/

Any Ceiling Fans have zwave built in?
Wow, 15 outdoor fans? Each with a z-wave fan controller? Mine all have 6 speeds plus variable speed and of course reversing. What I see on the Enbrighten controller you have to give up 4 of the speeds and the reversing of the fan. Do you add another z-wave switch for the light also? I am guessing that you probably can't do RF with all of them since most fans only offer 2-3 RF channels to operate on.

What Insteon did right......
I'm waiting for the person who puts an OFF/ON lamp module on their ISY so they can reboot it from remote if it locks up. ?

I have yet to try the IR feature, so I can't speak much about it. But I may try it in the near future.

2 of my fans came from Lowes and they were their Harbor Breeze models. One old one probably came from Home Depot and it is a Hunter. These are very common brands. But even then the Bond can be programmed to work with non-listed devices as long as they are RF and IR compatible. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding ones that work. Mine were already in place before I heard of Bond. I have two other very old fans that have no remote control at all, of course they don't work with Bond, yet. (-: EDIT: Thinking again of your question "would I recommend them?", I assumed you meant because they work with the Bond device. But if you are asking me for a "quality" recommendation, I am pretty satisfied with all of them. I try not to buy the cheapest fan available regardless of the brand, but the Harbor Breeze models I bought were in the $150-$200 range 5 years ago and have been very good.

What is amazing about the Bond is I just powered it up, logged in, added all my fans and I was in business on their app. No wiring, no switches, nothing. It even works from one end of my house to the other. Then I added the Bond node and the ISY was enabled, etc. When/if I move, I can just unplug the bond and take with me. In addition it fully supports all available fan speeds (not just 3) and reverses the fans when needed as well as controlling the lights. It is only $99 on Amazon, what is not to like? I wouldn't even consider adding any smart switch in the wall even if it was just for one fan. Then there are the many other RF and IR devices it supports. And as far as I can tell, it still works without Internet, but probably not the app, but I don't ever use that anymore. This has been one of the best "smart home" devices I have owned.

What Insteon did right......
I was a big X10 fan early, early on. But it really was a fight all the time keeping everything talking. I almost gave up on smart home automation in the early 2000's as the smart meters rolled out and rolled over most of my X10 signaling. I pulled almost every X10 and gave them away. Then I took another chance a few years later with ISY and Insteon (quickly moving to dual band) and really enjoyed SH projects that work and work well, especially using the ISY. I'll be holding on to my Insteon (especially since I have plenty of spares) for a long time.

Insteon HUB (2245) cloud servers shut down
This isn't good for anyone hoping to take over the IP and other assets in a reasonable time frame. With courts involved it will drag out a year or two and the biggest asset, the customer base, will have moved on. Technology is like groceries, it does have a short shelf life. Users of Insteon cloud will probably have switched protocols long before this is resolved. Insteon will be relegated to the X10 category, only of interest to the most hard core user like us UDI fans. IMO.

If you have an account on Ebay sell it there. I put mine up for a 3 day auction at $100 with a buy-it-now for $250. It went in 1 hour for $250. People willing to pay these prices want it now, not in 7 days. In 7 days the prices may have crashed as people come to their senses. It cost ~$13 to sell it and they paid the shipping. Also, list it as "New(other)" and explain why you don't have a box, but it powers up and is unused. There seems to be a big difference in new vs. used $$ and for good reason.

Default Startup page is no longer Favorites Android .139
My old Android phone died so I don't know what version I was on previously and I lost the local backup of UD Mobile of course. Just installed it again on my new Android version 10 phone and added lots of favorites to the favorite screen. When I start the app it doesn't automatically start on the favorite screen instead it starts on the "home" screen, unlike on my prior phone. I've looked and looked thru the admin area, settings area, forum and wiki and can find nothing about this ever existing as a feature. So I am not sure if I am doing something incorrectly or maybe it only existed in the alternate universe that I came from. ? Any suggestions on turning this feature back on? After all, it did save me one extra click each time I entered the UD Mobile app which is my favorite place to be on my phone. ?
