I ordered a new cable from Smartenit. It was only $15. Hopefully it is wired the same and will work. I didn't even think that it might not be the same...fingers crossed. PLM Serial Cable - Smartenit -Tim

@bpwwer Thanks Bob! You guys all have done a terrific job. Installation was a breeze, PG3 started right up, found my ISY994. After adding ISY Polisy it found it. Its all set to go. Again, Amazing job! Thank you to all!

I have read a few post regarding PG3 and wondered if I can install and run/play with it yet? If so how can it be downloaded and how to start it?

Thank you @Techman, question. Will this deleted file in any way cripple or create any grief in the future do you think? Or will it get rebuilt or replaced somehow? Thanks again, Tim

Tried to back up 994 tonight and ended twice with the following error. Do I need to restore with a previous backup or can I do something to repair the current running version?

@larryllix , @MWareman , if I can ask. Approximately how many Insteon, programs and NR's do you each have? Larry, I know you said you had 2 full days converting to Polisy. I am trying to figure out time frame for me to do the same.

@tpolito, I am sorry to hear that. I use DSC and it works great with both Nodelink from io_guy as well as the Envisalink node server from goose66. I have used up until recently Nodelink for probably 8 ish years. Switched over to Envisalink about a month or so ago. Been very happy with both.

@larryllix, thank you for posting your progress. I understand that you restored a isy994 image to Polisy. Question, did you factory reset all insteon devices then discover them in Polisy ISY? Or, for the most part they ported over to the new USB modem during the restore image process?

Hello @io_guy I have Nodelink running on Pi4 running buster. Has been working great feeding ISY994 v5.3.4 I am migrating to Polisy/ISY. But during the migration process I want to feed both ISY's Nodelink. Can I run two instances of Nodelink from the same pi4? Is it as simple as duplicating the nodelink, changing the folder name and updating the config file and running at startup? I am running DSCLink along with WCLinks. I upgraded the panel to use the evisalink network module, so I will have to turn on the repeater in one of the DSCLink's. Are there any other obstacles or gotchas I might encounter? Thanks very much, -Tim

Hi @johnstonf, I may be missing something but why can't you use a program with the reverse logic and fire the program with google? I use Alexa and can run programs true/false by saying turn on/off the program name or spoken. Or maybe google doesn't operate the same?

if memory serves it was smart home that made the change for some reason. It's been a long time.

@AAdsit Pehaps something to consider regarding your program. If the switch was pressed to turn the fan on, the program would be running true until it turns off the fan. However if the ISY for some reason rebooted during that time the program will be false after reboot so the fan would not turn off until you intervened. Same result if the fan somehow turned on without the switch being presses, for instance if it were turned on via an app on your phone or even through the admin console. If you were to use "Status" instead of "Switched" then anytime the fan was on the program would run true and turn off the fan. If the ISY reboots while the program is true, you will need another trigger in the condition of the program to retrigger the program once reboot s complete. oOr you can enable "Run at startup" as well.

I think you are right, Thank you. -Tim

I have Polisy, on v5.0.4, has been running for 3 days or so. Have 8 poly nodes onboard and am feeding nodelink to the onboard ISY from rpi4. I went to open Poly and it wouldn't open. I ssh'ed in to reboot polisy and got this message: So then ran df -h to check disk space and reported this: [admin@polisy ~]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on zudi/ROOT/default 25G 25G 0B 100% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc zudi 24K 24K 0B 100% /zudi zudi/var/empty 24K 24K 0B 100% /var/empty zudi/tmp 27K 27K 0B 100% /tmp zudi/usr/home 34K 34K 0B 100% /usr/home zudi/var/polyglot 20M 20M 0B 100% /var/polyglot zudi/var/log 249K 249K 0B 100% /var/log zudi/var/db 30M 30M 0B 100% /var/db zudi/var/run 43K 43K 0B 100% /var/run zudi/var/crash 24K 24K 0B 100% /var/crash zudi/var/tmp 24K 24K 0B 100% /var/tmp zudi/var/db/pkg 9.3M 9.3M 0B 100% /var/db/pkg [admin@polisy ~]$ After reboot the ssh screen greeting is much different and this is the df -l report Using username "admin".

Any thoughts on how I should proceed? Thanks, -Tim

Upgrade went great. All poly nodes (from Polisy) and nodelink (from rpi4) working great with ISY (in Polisy). Thank you UDI team! Tim

Having trouble with upgrade. After upgrade and reboot restarting udx is fine but when restarting ISY I see: [admin@polisy ~]$ sudo service isy restart Stopping isy. 15 1 0xffffffff81d63000 8320 uftdi.ko uftdi.ko is already loaded Starting isy. [admin@polisy ~]$ Admin console opens great on lan and cloud. But I have lost the portal tab. Gui and ISY both report v5.0.3 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, -Tim

Before the update to v1.3.0 (I think I was on v1.2.0) the admin console had Node Server listed (File Link Management Node server Tools Help) but Node Server is now missing. Also in Configuration / Portal is missing. Ever since I received Polisy I have been unable to enter the correct credentials into Polyglot to access ISY. Address: 192.168.0.27 (address of Polisy) Port: 80 user name: admin Password: admin Use HTTPS is unchecked If I enter the info for polyglot running on my Rpi4 it works fine and I see all the node servers in the dashboard but when I put the config back to the ISY in Polisy I get the red banner: ISY automatically discovered at http://192.168.0.27:80 however the username and password need to be set in the settings menu. Can anyone verify they see the same thing, or is it just me? Thanks! Tim edit: Using ISY finder and selecting Cloud. When I select LAN nothing happens. If I try to use a browser at https://192.168.0.27:8443/admin.jnlp I get an Unable to Launch the Application ! window. Thanks again.

Question for @MrBill and @lilyoyo, I am running Poly on rpi4 version 2.2.10 and this version does have backup and restore. Do you think this version of a backup will be compatible with Polisy? If so couldn't the op upgrade to this version?

I am running the node server now but back in the day someone had posted on here, but I can't seem to find it now, their NR. I still had 2 of them on my ISY. Here is the command that worked for me, at least back then. I am unable to try it now as these two switches have been deleted. These were copied right from the NR. This was to turn on: 0;0;0;42;208;242;129;248;139;255;154;247;213;239;148;182;197;160;212;139;249;156;240;145;232;183;196;176;209;165;192;226;216;163;129;242;134;231;147;246;212;238;223;162;223;162 This was to turn off: 0;0;0;42;208;242;129;248;139;255;154;247;213;239;148;182;197;160;212;139;249;156;240;145;232;183;196;176;209;165;192;226;216;163;129;242;134;231;147;246;212;238;222;163;222;163 I was pretty impressed also with the speed they switched at when using the NR. They are still very responsive when using the node server. Not sure if any f/w updates to the devices have broken them from working the same or not, I hope these work for you. -Tim

It has been my experience that this is not possible. When adding other devices they will turn on and off when you instruct Alex to turn on the light. If I am wrong though I would love to find the answer. I have tried quite a few times with no success. Tim

Without the "or" parentheses would not Switch 1 and switch 2 and switch 3 have to be pressed at the same time for the program to run true?

It seems to me the first program should be as such. I don't have time to do this in the admin console but I hope this helps to make more sense. Go to the Variable tabs section of the admin console and select the State tab. Click add at the bottom of the page and name the new state variable "manual override" and then press save. Go to the program tab and create a new program and format the switches that you want to override the ms and format them similar to below. If Or ( Switch 1 is (Control) switched on And Switch 1 is (Control) not switched off ) Or ( Switch 2 is (Control) switched on And Switch 2 is (Control) not switched off ) Or ( Switch 3 is (Control) switched on And Switch 3 (Control) not switched off ) Then manual override = 1 Else manual override = 0

Every time I run a back up now it always ends with an error message "Could Not Retrieve File /CONF/NODES/UN0472.BIN" The power was suddenly interrupted yesterday after noon. Previous to this backups always succeeded. ISY994 on v5.3.0 How should I proceed? Thanks, Tim

I am running Polyglot and Nodelink on a Rpi4 with ISY994 Ir/Pro with v5.3.0 If Query at startup is checked in the config of the AC does the ISY query Poly and Nodelink? If so what order is the query, Insteon first then either Poly or Nodelink? I do notice that if the Rpi4 is not running when the ISY is rebooted the ISY start up takes forever but with Rpi running first then ISY rebooted start up is a lot quicker. For those of you running Rpi and ISY what is your method of reboot after a power failure. Do you have your Rpi boot up first then ISY or concurrently? Do you have the Query at startup selected or do you have a program that runs after reboot to do the query? -Tim

@lilyoyo1 I am seeing exactly what @DaveStLou is seeing. I noticed that in your pastes that it specifies Google Home Category, whereas ours say Alexa Category. Could it be that Alexa does not support this function?
