  1. Thanks! My thoughts exactly, I purchased 3 Inovelli switches today to try next time I’m at the cottage.
  2. For my controller there I have Hubitat. I’ve posted this question there with all the troubleshooting everything is set as it should be so now I think it’s a Zoom brand issue.
  3. Thanks for the reply! I agree that Insteon is one of the best. For my main house I'm using an Eisy with Insteon throughout. We built a summer home and I put Zooz throughout that is now causing me these issues. I'd like to keep the Zwave infrastructure and am wondering if there are known brands people have used in virtual configurations with dimmer switches that I could try. If I was doing it all again I'd pick Insteon again, but that's hindsight.
  4. Hello all, Hoping to gather some feedback from people who have been successful with different brands of Zwave dimmers. I am currently using Zooz and the issue I am having is that if I press the non-controller to dim my lights, there's a slight delay, maybe as much a s second before the light actually dims. So much so that it's basically pointless to do it from any other switch than the controller itself, which is not wife-approved. I'm hoping there are other brands out there that are more efficient and 'sync' quicker than these Zooz. These would be dimmers and not just the on-off switches which a delay doesn't matter too much. Thank you
  5. Thank you! Any chance the directions could be added into the user guide? Think it might help others who saw it as a selling point. Would also be good if the Polyglot web interface or IoX UI could do it so it's not command line driven, thanks again!
  6. Just extra storage, like I said it’s overkill but might as well put the nvme I had lying around to lie around in some device
  7. Sounds good, one of the selling points in their email to me to update was that you can add an ssd. Odd that there’s no real documentation or use cases for it.
  8. So i popped in a 1TB NVME I had sitting around, how do I actually have the system use it? Granted it's complete overkill since I don't do fancy things with the Isy.. now Eisy, but it wasn't doing anything but collecting dust so figured I can pop it in. First I thought to go into configuration of IoX, not there. Then thought in Polyglot there would be a way to 'format' and at it. Nope. Are there instructions for it, because I couldn't find anything on the Eisy user guide I used to migrate off of ISY. Thank you!
  9. Thanks, I can read python code but am not a programmer. In the past I usually look at peoples example code and piece together something that works for me. Its ugly and time consuming for sure.
  10. Looks like home assistant can do what I'm looking for so going to install it tomorrow and tinker over the weekend
  11. Thanks for getting me this far, I certainly didn't even think of running a website and the network resource kicks off the website that runs the script, thank you
  12. Wow fantastic, yes I do have the network module, I use it to send on and off commands to other network plugs Would you possibly have an references for what network commands to use for SSH or where I could read up more on this being done? This sounds like the route I want to take. Thank you
  13. Wow very interesting thanks, I guess I don't know much about rest commands. The question I have with this approach is how does the isy actually ssh into the rpi and execute the shutdown command? The other commands I understand with the then program commands. I just reread this and you said to initiate from the Pi. See that would actually be great but not sure how I would initiate it to run, cause if I have to ssh manually, I would just issue the shutdown command. Heck, I'd love to program something where if a button is pressed for 3 seconds, then the rpi would just shutdown, but i have no idea how to do that either.
  14. Hi all, during quarantine I have built an arcade cabinet that runs on a rPi4 that the kids can use. Right now I have it set up that when a button is pressed on a keypad, it turns on the outlet that the cabinet is connected to and 'starts it all up'. Since the rPi4 is running linux, I was wondering if I could do something with programs where I would log in to the rPi, send a shutdown command, wait 10 seconds, then the outlet would turn off. Basically trying to figure out how to automate a safe shutdown of the cabinet. Is this possible? Is there a Nodeserver for interacting with linux OS's? Thank you
  15. This is actually doing what I want to do. Just tried it and works perfectly, thank you!
