@dantoronto I didn't upgrade for a long time because of the same concerns you have and the horror stories I read. It's all about your mind set going into it. Know that it's going to be multitudes better once it's up and running. Hope for the best but expect the worst. Back everything up but be willing to rebuild some things. For me, most everything transferred well except I had to do some editing with my programs and my zwave devices. Since I was expecting the worst, it seemed easy because it only took an hour or so of reconfiguring. But the best part is that after you go through that, whether it was easy or difficult, once it's all programmed and set up correctly, it just works for you. It's been probably close to 2 years now for me (994 to Polisy) and I love all the new devices I have added with PG2 and PG3, plus the programs run so much quicker - with the 994, I think the delay to run a program was 2-3 seconds and with my Polisy I would say it's less than 1 second.

I have a handful of variables that change based on programs. For instance, I have a variable called $evening that sets to a value of 1 if it's sunset and sets to a value of 0 at 10pm. My question is if I reboot the Polisy at 9pm, or it gets unplugged or I lose power for a bit, the $evening variable will have it's init value of 0 which would be incorrect. Does anyone have ways in which they can handle these situations programmatically? Maybe a second script that runs at startup, is that a thing?

I use the MyQ Home Assistant integration and was able to get mine working again by following the instructions in the conversation @landolfi linked. However, the changes made were in the python files directly in the integration, so I think it's a matter of waiting patiently for @Goose66 to apply the same repair.

@kewashi since I'm not using HousePanel server now that I realize I don't have to have it, can you provide instructions on how I can uninstall it from my Raspberry Pi?

I am on PG3 and not PG3x. I didn't see anywhere that was a requirement. I will upgrade some day soon (not today) and when I do I will try again. Thank you for your time and your help.

I have the Ecobee node server and I will agree with @Jimbo.Automates that it never needs to be restarted, however, the Hue node server is the one that caused me to previously post about restarting PG3. It would stop working until restarted about 1-2 times per month. As @Geddy mentions, his suggested format for dealing with these things is best. However, if you wish to shortcut that and do a band-aid, I did write a python script that restarts my PG3 nightly. I would be happy to share it with you and if you need, help you install it but you would need a Raspberry Pi or PC that's always on (or at least on during the time you want the script to run).

I tried to post there but the topic is closed.

@tmorse305 thank you very much, I will post there. I want to confirm I'm on the right track though...in order to bring Hubitat into the ISY, HousePanel is required, correct?

My goal is to get my Hubitat devices into my ISY. I just followed the instructions and installed HousePanel on my Hubitat, then installed the web server on my RPi. When I start the web server, the RAM usage on my RPi goes up, up, up until the RPi becomes unresponsive, after about 60 seconds. Can you please help?

I currently have a Polisy with the Zooz 700 usb dongle. I am considering upgrading to Zmatter. I would love to hear other people's experiences after the upgrade. I'm not looking for information about the upgrade process, this has been extensively covered. I'm looking for people's experiences with before and after. The Zooz 700 dongle versus the Zmatter board. What are the pros and cons of each? Does your zwave network now have better range or better communication? Was it worth the upgrade? Would you do it again?

@apostolakisl can you tell me how to get an update from nodelink regarding the heartbeat?

@Geddy I greatly appreciate your help. I will consider your suggestions, and if I decide to navigate the route you have proposed, I will not be doing it through forum posts. I will open a ticket or write the developer of the subject nodes. However, I would like to point out that the subject of this forum post was to see if anyone was scheduling restarts of their PG3. Since posting this, I have written a python script that is now rebooting it nightly.

@Geddy thank you for the information. I have polisy with pg3. Do I need to upgrade to pg3x?

Various node servers often need to be rebooted on my PG3. Does anyone know of a way for a scheduled or nightly reboot of PG3?

For pushover, I use it on mobile. It's an app and sends a standard notification on your phone. You can then customize the look, sound, and message.

I use Pushover as a notify tool and it's sent within a couple seconds. You can add Pushover as a network resource and customize the messages to your liking, then add them as lines in your program.

@RRoyceusthere's no such thing as going overboard when it comes to home automation 😆. I was trying to fix the issue of the pool overflowing when we get a torrential rain. I had the sprinkler guys install a valve connected to the pool line so it could drain the pool. I have Rachio smart sprinklers so I can automate it, so right now if we get a torrential rain, I can just trigger it to open with my phone for 10 min and drain the excess water. I was working on how I can automate when it needs to be drained (I like your idea - would you mind posting pics?), when my pool guy advised against having this setup. He said if the valve failed, like if we had a big freeze, or just generally speaking, then our entire pool would drain. So now I've been considering taking it out. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Use this as a template for the logic. It's in python, but it's just math so it's all the same: def foo(myDate): date_suffix = ["th", "st", "nd", "rd"] if myDate % 10 in [1, 2, 3] and myDate not in [11, 12, 13]: return date_suffix[myDate % 10] else: return date_suffix[0] ISY also has the (%) which gives you the remainder after the divide. So if you have two variables, test and test2, and test = 43, and in your program you put: test2 = test test2 % 10 then you will see that test2 will equal 3. ------------------------------------------ The below doesn't account for 0 or over 99: I'm not sure prog1 is going to get triggered, you'll have to test all of this and report back. prog1 if test = 11 or test = 12 or test = 13 then send th email else test2 = test test2 % 10 run prog2 (if) prog2 (disabled) if test2 = 1 then send st email else run prog3 (if) prog3 (disabled) if test2 = 2 then send nd email else run prog4 (if) prog4 (disabled) if test2 = 3 then send rd email else send th email

Please forgive me for not directly answering your question, but as an alternative, have you considered changing your english to simpllfy it? "It is year 3 now" works for all numbers.

@Javi thanks so much, I'm loving the app.

Yes it integrates all of my PG3 devices alongside my other ISY devices for easy viewing/controlling.

When I click Polyglot V3 in Admin Dashboard, the app crashes

Screenshot of error when clicking "test local connection."

Screenshot of what I meant by "add PG3 to mobile"

My PG3 was previously setup and working in mobile but I noticed today that it wasn't in mobile and was prompting me to add it. After I added it, every time I click "test connection" it says that it must be saved first, but it is saved. Then, if I click "Polyglot V3" in the Admin Dashboard, it will crash the app every time.
