Good lining there! Can we order? Can they ship the same time as the Z-Wave board? Pretty please...
-
Preorders yet?
-
Woohoo! Send me my invoice already @Michel Kohanim
-
Please take my money!
-
Se consigue en Unicentro That would be nice. I'd even drive down to Medellín for that. Alas, it's only a dream...
-
Now hoping Eisy comes to Colombia as fast as your download speed :-))
-
easy for you to say😂

Note the little white box on top of the stairs? That's a Sonoff/Tasmota temp/hum sensor. I compare the temperature of that to the outside temps from my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro (via MQQT node server). If the outside temps are lower than the inside temps (every night, without fail), I turn on a fan that exhausts the warmer air and sucks in the cooler night air. That keeps my cellar at around 19deg C. Beats installing an aircon unit.

These names of Pol-ISY and E-ISY sure are cute, but make google searches a bit of a PITA... "did you mean Policy?" or "did you mean Easy?" time and again... and since ISY is being retired... just an opinion... @Michel Kohanim
-
you have a good memory! yes, It has not been resolved. I think it has something to do with which account is the primary one linked into Google. Mine is the one linked into ISY, but somehow Heather's shows up as the primary on Google Home. I have not been able to change that, despite resetting the system. And I don't want to do it again until I have ISY migrated, just in case I have to do it again after that. It's a giant PITA, with over 100 devices to name, group etc...
-
Mostly a lack of patience😂. And some odd behaviour on the Google Home front, which I was hoping a rebuild would take care of. Google Home responds to my Program calls, but ignores my wife! It follows the basic open/close turn-on/off for both of us, but won't execute the program calls. This is critical, because the wine cellar is a program call (linear motor control, fan and light control). She thinks I did this on purpose!!!! She now Signals me and I make the wine call... The funny thing is I was joking about installing a toe print sensor (the access is a trap door) So I won't. I'll wait until I get the mail from @Michel Kohanim to order the dongle. Plenty of other projects to work on around here Thanks @Geddy and @bpwwer.
-
Thanks @Geddy, I already run ISY994 on non-PLM firmware, as I do not have any Insteon devices. I only have the ELK, a bunch of Tasmota/Sonoffs (already on Polisy with MQTT) and two dozen Z-Wave devices. ELK seems relatively straightforward. Cool, I was considering buying a second Polisy as I dive into developer mode, so I can keep my home stable (and my wife happy). Maybe I'll wait for the Eisy now...

Hello Asbril, That wasn't quite my intention. I wanted to migrate ISY to my Polisy PRO, initially all the non Z-Wave items, while waiting for the UDI Z-Wave dongle. Hence, my original, still unanwered question: Can I migrate everything from ISY to IoP, except the Z-wave for now? But now you bring up Eisy, which was news to me. I just found a thread on it here: This obviously begs the huuuuge question: What is the difference between Polisy and Eisy? If I already have a Polisy, should I upgrade to Eisy? If I'm a developer (budding, very budding!), should I go straight to Eisy developing, or stick with Polisy, or do they work the same? Cheers.
-
Wait, wait wait.... What is this Eisy thing now? Next gen Polisy? I was just asking about whether I should get a second Polisy for development and leave my home Polisy Pro in peace... When will the Eisy be available (hopefully along with the Z-Wave Dongle, unless that is already included)? do we have a cost yet? Cheers...
-
Thanks Asbril, A couple of reasons, why I'm waiting for the UDI dongle: 1- future support for Matter 2- separate antenna connection 3- I like the idea of having the hardware hidden inside the Polisy. Looks cleaner. 4- financially supporting UDI, who support me in my home automation journey... That gets me back to the question, if i can migrate everything but Z-Wave away from ISY to IoP... Cheers.
-
I'm chomping at the bit to get this migration started. Seems the UDI dongle is not yet available. Browsing through all of your very helpful past posts, I'm wondering, if I can move everything from the ISY to IoP, except the Z-wave (all the Z-wave sensors). Is that possible? ELK seems logical. But how to separate all the programs from the the Z-Wave... Cheers.
-
And just to make sure, I'm not confused here: I'm having problems logging into Polisy, not Polyglot (unless that is the same thing).
-
Thanks, MrBill; I haven't migrated ISY994 onto my Polisy yet. Waiting for UDI's Z-Wave dongle. I don't want to do things twice. Nor do I have PG3 installed yet, same reason as above. My main question remains at: is only the Polyglot password reset, so I don't have to reinstall/reconfigure my node servers etc... Cheers;
-
Greetings; This morning, I tried to log onto my Polisy locally, but it says "Password not recognized". No idea, how this would have changed... Looking at means to reset my credentials, I see the following statement under the MULTI FUNCTION BUTTON: Could you please clarify what "This action resets Polyglot" refers to? Will I have to reconfigure everything from scratch, or only the credentials? Cheers;
-
Thanks @bpwwer, That's good good information. Solar-Assistant offers an MQTT link already. Given my limited knowledge at this point, it will be easier to put an RPi with their software next to the inverter and get the data that way. I know Sol-Ark is working hard to improve their data connectivity. Cheers.
-
Thanks @bumbershoot, I have contacted Solar Assistant directly and pointed them in the direction of Polisy and PG3... Let's see, what they say. Hopefully they'll get interested and port their code. My question was more on the hardware side: the Polisy's USB port is available, correct? There's a ton of code on GitHub, that does manage to extract data from the Sol-Ark and other inverters. Cheers
-
Greetings from Colombia, I have a Polisy Pro. I also have a Sol-Ark 12k hybrid inverter, which has an RS485 port used to get live data out of the unit (they also have an IP connection via WiFi dongle, but it is locked up and only delivers data every 5-8mins anyway). There's a company out of South Africa (https://Solar-Assistant.io), which has developed some RPi based software, using a USB-RS485 dongle to extract data out of the Sol-Ark. My question: Can I use the Polisy's USB port for this application? I'm guessing the software will need some adaptation... Cheers.
-
Thanks for the @Bumbershoot; just checked: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on zudi/ROOT/default 25G 2.3G 22G 9% / Looks like I'm good there. Cheers
-
Thanks @Geddy; @Michel Kohanim just informed me that the 700 dongle will have an EXTERNAL antenna. I'm sold!!! will wait for it. Much cleaner implementation than a Polisy sitting above the clouds? Thanks @Techman, please see above. If the migration path exists as well, that's even better! And no, no Insteon. A friend talked me out of that and into Z-wave about 6 years ago. Foresight??? Although most of my devices are WiFi based Sonoff now (Tasmota/MQTT) - 100 and growing and only 20 or so Z-Wave... Cheers;
