I am trying to use the HueEmulator so I can control a scene from my remote in our theater. I have the trial plugin installed on PG3 on EISY after updating the ports so the hue is running on 8081 I can see the node Conected ISY connected, and I can flip listen on and off. When I go to the Harmony app to add the Hue Hub it says nothing was found, and there are no errors in the debug log in PG once the ports were fixed. I did have some major issues with the hub because it can't be found if a devices in on 5Ghz wifi, but the EISY is hard wired so I didn't expect this behavior. It looks like harmny does not give you a way to manually add the hub, Thoughts? A search of the forums didn't show this exact issue,

Ok thanks! I read that part but I guess I didn't grok. Google turned up mostly old posts. I guess where this becomes an issue is how can I manage my wife's android (I'm on IOS) to create these for both our profiles. Or do I have to create these manually on both?

So the garage door kit has two devices. The sensor to show if it’s open or closed. And a relay that you cycle to actually open/close the door. I am not finding a way to show the door status and not have to jump to another node. i have not yet looked at setting up Alexa but assume this being two devices will cause issues there also. I post in ID mobile because this confused my wife a lot and just want a simple experience.

Yes it is currently 5.8.4

I just finished migrating my polisy to esiy and followed the migration instructions. When I got to the portal migration everyting work around IFTT hooks but not anyting that uses the portal API directly eg the https://my.isy.io/isy/<bighuge UUID lookingthing>/rest didn't get migrated. So the few tools I had built that used this (I use the portal API because on my work computer when i'm on the VPN I cannot connect to the local eisy) I had to update the URL, but everything else was migrated so nicely thought I would share the heads up. To be clear this is the URL form the portal Information -> ISY Information

I just migrated from my polisy to esiy and tried to setup the wifi after the migration. I followed the instructions unhooked the wired network, went into the app, scanned, put in the wifi creds (verified with another device without issue) but but it fails with: error - .nic_status missing params Not end of the world I have wrired there from my 994/polisy there but sometimes I have had to move my controllers because of zwave issues and wireless gets me a port back and makes that easier.

Testing results, The LED lights don't have a plug on the end to dazy chain, so I took a small 5w Apple wallwart, and the wart from the eisy (I'm upgrading today from polisy) and used a splitter so the wart was in parallel with the LED lights the flashing remained. It ook a heavy resistive load, in this case a heating pad and in parallel with the LED's the flashing stopped. So I think that confirms it and that it works in parallel but the wallwart isn't sufficient for these lights. I took the multi-meter to one of the on/off outlets and when off they show 4-5V, not the 118V of the appliancelinc, I just assumed these were the same device just different form factor I guess now. So it looks like if I want to control these specific LED's wtihout having some other large load in parallel I need to not use the appliancelinc but replace the outlet with another on/off outlet which I have just I only need it seasonally. I do have spare outdoor on/off boxes I could try those nothing says you can't use them inside.

No it doesn't click without me pressing the button or controlling it from ISY. It was a comment that the relay is clicking and sounds right. So why do I have no issue with the on/off outlets? Do they not have these features are be more what you expect where the relay cuts all power to the outlet?

Ok I first though my ApplianceLinc was bad, but I found I had another one, both are older revisions of the 2456S3 V4.2 and V1.3 Both behave the same with these lights which is when on it's fine, when off they pulse every few seconds. I have newer on/off insteon outlets and have the same brand of lights in them and it works just fine. So it's confined to these old ApplianceLinc modules. I tried them both with a classic incandescent 60W bulb, and works as expected, just the LED Christmas lights do this. I put an multi-meter in the controlled outlet and I see voltage, when on ~ 121V, when off 118V, but why on the 60W would it actually shut off correctly? I would expect it to be on if it was stuck contacts, both make solid clicks. I thought it might be 'load sense' feature but following the manual https://www.electricbargainstores.com/v/vspfiles/PDF_spec/Insteon/plugin_modules/manual-2456S3.pdf Using the 60W bulb it doesn't work as expected, That is when I 'turn it on' with the tripple tap I never get the load going on and off (no clicks). Thoughts? Are these just to old and probably have some issue? I really don't understand seeing 118V when off but the 60W bulb goes off. That's why I started looking at the load sense, being unsure how that worked.

Ok I'm pretty sure it was a power event, I had a few other non-insteon devices around the house give up the ghost, was disappointed it was that one though because it's not available anymore. Through hole I'm comfortable with, surface mounts not so much. I guess I have nothing to lose.

I just had my EzFlora of many years die on me, it won't link anymore, I opened it up and didn't see any obviously burned components etc. It looks like the device isn't made anymore, and I'm not finding anything on ebay. I see several polyglot servers. What do people recommend? I need 8 zones, but would love to repair this if possible but not sure how to. Comfortable with soldering if there is a known 'replace this cap' issue with these. The board internally says Insteon Rev: A0 and the daughter board says EZRain PLM Thanks

Thanks all useful. I think this page: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY_Developers:API:REST_Interface Insteon - /rest/nodes/<node-id>/cmd/DON/128 - turn on a scene to 50% (valid parameters = 0 - 255) Along with the Fade up, Fade down buttons in the ISY UI gives one the idea that you can dim a scene which we wnated to use for a virtual 3 way. Thanks

I am running into unexpected behavior when it comes to using the REST API (from my streamdeck) to set a dim level on an Insteon Scene. Specifically using the my.isy.io URL, if I use an on-level for any value other than 0 the scene is 100% Eg https://my.isy.io/isy/<snip>/rest/nodes/992/cmd/DON/64 (100% on, should be 25%) https://my.isy.io/isy/<snip>/rest/nodes/992/cmd/DON/0 (0% on) But if I do the actual device that controls the load https://my.isy.io/isy/<snip>/rest/nodes/3C FB 7 1/cmd/DON/64 (correctly 25% on) Any idea why I am getting that behavior?

Great ok thank you.

I noticed that I was having scheduled programs not running. I went and looked on the UI running 5.7 on Polisy and found all the programs disabled. A search of the forum didn't turn up anything. I had to manually enable around 100 programs, and I'm not 100% sure I enabled the right ones because I have a few that were to be disabled. Never seen this in ~ 8 years on the UD platform. Any idea what would have caused that? Plan to upgrade to 5.8 this coming week.

Thanks everyone,

Looking at the To be or not to be blog post and seeing other references of upgrading from PolISY to eisy is polisy going EOL? Before I understood they were being supported in parallel and eisy was really a response to the availability of polisy hardware? Is there any office announcement from from UD of EOL for Polisy and we should move to eisy?

thanks everyone. Personally I work in an area i wanted to keep devices like this out for privacy reasons. Whyt i used UD and insteon in the first place. But slowly Im getting requested for features from others in my house I should figure it out. Thanks

I’m a longtime UD user but we are looking at getting Alexa or google home doe voice control. which do you recommend as an ecosystem to connect to UD or have in general? thanks

This started a while ago on my isy and carried over to the polisy. Pretty simple, every time the device reboots or loses power when it powers on after a few minutes it will shut off all devices so all lights, fans etc all shut off. Any idea what I should be looking for and what is causing that? I don't have an obvious program but I'm probably wrong.

The Schlage Connect locks didn't work even if I put the Polisy right next to them. I ended up excluding them and re-including them. This works perfectly and luckily my user codes do not appear to have been lost at all. I just need to update all the programs now that used them. Same with the repeaters never worked, just exclude include worked just fine. Weird, zwave continues to disappointment compared to Insteon with just being flaky, just too bad it doesn't have the legs and all the accessories available. Thanks, everyone for your suggestions.

Sure I followed the instructions from the wiki: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Polisy:User_Guide#Migrating_from_994_to_Polisy I restored from backup to the Polisy and then did ZWave restore to the ZMatter board, insteon works without issue as I just moved the PLM. All the other ZWave devices returned from placeholder, outlets, some lights etc. The only ones that did not were the locks (I don't know the real process to 'wake up' And the repeaters. Again nothing in the aeotech docs says about waking up. The only thing I could think of is excluding and re-adding. Not a big deal for repeaters, more of a pain for locks because they are in programs etc. As for trying to add them I use as in the instructions zwave -> Synchronize -> update with interview. And it times out without any progress. Doesn't mater if I push buttons on the door, or run the door lock out (which would normally update it's status). One funny thing I noticed was that if I do run the deadbolt in and out the timeout on the interview increases. Still never resolves.

I'm upgrading to Polisy off ISY. All instion went fine, but Zwave is giving me issues. The primary issues are getting devices off placeholder: 2 Aeotek repeaters (I can probably remove and read) The main pain is 3 schlage locks. I'm not sure how to wake them up. I operate the bolt etc and get no progress when doing Update with Interview. Any thoughts how I can get them back in without doing factory resets? Prefer to not redo all the user codes and walk through all programs an update them.

Sorry if wasn't clear, I didn't get to the migration at all becaues the polisy is so borked. Polyisy isn't running at all anymore thus the errors about IoX (assuming that's the new name for the ISY software on IOX or Polisy). So I can't open the launcher for the version running on the polyisy if I wanted to to update it. I figured might have to reach out to UD as the current Polisy page says to update to open a ticket or RMA the device. I wanted to avoid that if possible, I have 2 days only to do this without causing disruption to anyone else in my home. I'll open the ticket.

I started my process of migrating off my ISY994i/zw pro today. I have the following devices: isy994 w/ZWave 6.82.01 v5.3.4 (I had upgraded the zwave module as required long ago) Serial PLM (Just found RJ45-> DB9 cable polisy, the origonal pre-order version. It was upgrading using the SSH method that did start pg3 and polisy zwave/Matter module for polisy (not yet installed) I want to complete the migration so my understanding is: * backup everything * install Zwave Matter module * move PLM to Polisy * follow instructions on wiki. So I setout to do that and to start ofcourse I try to update my Poilsy using the UI, but I noticed also in the IoX launcher that Polisy is missing. I also noticed that my two node servers are not running, Logs say things like: no module named polyinterface I also notice that my UI says: Version 2.2.13 Status: Connected Frontend Version: 2.2.9-5 ISY Version: 5.3.4 Uptime: 24 Minute(s) 55 Second(s) (c) 2023 UDI Running on Polisy Documentation Clicking on polisy settings never loads anything. I find this odd and ssh in and I see both PG3 and PG2 running: I reboot and now pg3 wont' start at all: ps aux | grep polyglot polyglot 846 0.0 0.1 12832 2304 - Is 18:18 0:00.00 daemon: /usr/local/bin/polyglot-v2-freebsd-x64[847] (daemon) polyglot 847 0.0 2.7 346212 112876 - S 18:18 0:12.94 /usr/local/bin/polyglot-v2-freebsd-x64 -w /var/polyglot (polyglot-v2-freebsd) polyglot 1371 0.0 0.1 12832 2312 - Ss 18:18 0:00.08 daemon: /usr/local/bin/node[5458] (daemon) root 5492 0.0 0.1 12824 2436 0 S+ 18:44 0:00.01 grep polyglot Looking in pg3 logs in /var/polyglot/pg3/log/ 6/10/2023, 18:45:22 [pg3] error: Getting IoP UUID failed: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8080 6/10/2023, 18:45:22 [pg3] error: Is the IoX service enabled? The IoX service must be enabaled for PG3 to start. 6/10/2023, 18:45:22 [pg3] info: PG3 shutdown complete with code: 0 So what's hosed? I assume IoX is the new service name for polyisy? What did I do that hosed my setup so bad? I cant start with my migration because nothing is running that is needed and how did I get both pg versions installed at once? Lukly I had only 2 node servers weather and solaredge, and my ISY is fine and I have current backups. Factory reset press and hold the button didn't appear to actually do anything, LED's never changed as in the documentation but I'm happy to just re-image my polisy and start fresh then import my backups and re-create the nodeserveres.
