I was wondering if it is possible to support multi-channel devices? I have an Athom Tasmota 4-channel relay, and multiple topic payloads can be set buy rule to control the various channels, but it believe this node server only supports a single cmd_topic per device? I hope that makes sense. Thank you.

And when can we expect you to focus on the PG3 migration?

That is unfortunate. When they fix the PG3 migration, then I will have to put in a ticket for them to change the IP address via SSH, unless someone can point me to the required commands where I can insert my own syntax for my 10.10.2.x network? Thanks.

Another vote for static IP control via GUI...not only via SSH. For my use case, I have a control system that I use to call my ISY scenes and devices via http get, and I need a static IP address outside of DHCP to support this functionality. If I have to figure out how to change that via SSH, that is going to take me probably a couple of hours, which is unnecessary time I don't need to waste. I am going to sit on the sidelines waiting to deploy my eisy until this issue and the PG3 migration tool is resolved.

Correct.

I am currently using a Polisy Pro, and IoX v.5.4.5, and am wondering if I should update to IoX v.5.5.2 in preparation for migration to eisy? Background I read the various posts, and understand that the migration tool to go from Polisy PG3 node servers to eisy PG3 is not ready, so I am just waiting until it is. I just want to be able to migrate both the Insteon devices and PG3 node servers at one time. I am currently on IoX v.5.4.5, and while the eisy user guide states that v.5.4.3 is required, I know there might be a caveat in that we should migrate from the same exact version. Thanks for any insight. Mark

Thanks. I feel dumb, lol. I am sending him two Keypads for repair. Mark

I sent him my old PLM for repair a couple of months ago, and asked him if he repaired keypads, but he never responded. I guess he is too busy now, lol. Mark

I don't think this is totally related to this issue, but I upgraded to Ecobee PG3 several months ago, use Auto all the time, and had subsequently set up programs to adjust the cool set point down as the temperature from OpenweatherMap went up. This worked fine in the beginning, but then it stopped working. If I make the adjustment to the temperature on the GUI of the thermostat, the change sticks until the next scheduled change in the program schedule. The failure point behavior for my program is that the set point would change, but then within a minute, it would revert back to the auto temperature setting. In case there is a problem with the program logic, here is an example. Thanks. Mark

Her is the direct link: https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/SBP22342/ I am personally not happy about making the enclosure smaller, and the same form factor as the LampLincs, as they are fragile, but I guess it is not handled frequently where it could break. Mark

Yes, I restarted the admin console, and it is still displayed. Interesting. Thanks. Mark

I just installed MagicHome Polyglot v3 on the Polisy. Everything works fine, but the device in the ISY Admin Console shows "Writing" state constantly. Is this normal? Thank you.

The load does not work remotely either. Thanks guys. I will look for eBay auctions. Mark

I just had an 8-button keypad fail, so desperately need to find a replacement but the prices on eBay are around $100, so not an extreme markup from the old $79.99 MSRP. It is the load button that no longer works, and this is the second keypad in my system with the exact same failure. They were years apart and in different locations. Should I just purchase from eBay? I just had my spare PLM repaired and I did ask the guy if he made any other repairs but never got a response to that query. Signed, desperately seeking advice. ?

Great idea about the fire tablets how do you mount and power them? Another way to use touch screens with a browser to command ISY events via http get HT Web Remote: https://github.com/nicko88/HTWebRemote Mark

Good afternoon, I have a Polisy Pro purchased in June, 2019 (received December, 2019). I am following this guide, and I am stuck on this part to update. When I enter the first command after rebooting: cat /usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/update13.sh | sudo bash The response is: No such file or directory. My current release retrieved via "unam -a" is: FreeBSD polisy 12.2-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p6 r369564 POLISY amd64 I am not sure where to go from here. Thanks for any guidance. Mark

I did not write the code, an AVS Forum member did, and he is using it on a RPi. My initial thought was to get a Pi and copy his code over, but then I was wondering if I could run it on Polisy, so I posted here. I'm not sure it makes sense to get a Pi only for this, function, but I will think about it. Realistically, it is probably over my pay grade, since I do not even know where to enter the syntax. That said, I have not searched for any step-by-step guides that may exist. Now if someone made a Polyglot where you could just paste in the code, then I could probably manage to figure that out. Thanks again for the input.

Thanks Larry, Sounds like it is doable, but unfortunately not possible for me to do this on my own, as I would have no idea without a step-by-step, lol. Mark

I realize this is probably a dumb question, but I was wondering if it is possible to run Python scripts on the Polisy? A member of AVS Forum wrote and shared basic script that retrieves the numeric volume level from an Audio/Video Processor (The Monolith HTP-1) and displays the volume level on a Video Processor (the Lumagen Radiance Pro). The HTP-1 does not have an OSD, and if the unit is behind a cabinet door, the display on the unit cannot be seen, so this is a very handy tool. He runs this script on a Rasberry Pi, but I figured this might work on the Polisy Pro. I looked at the NodeServer store, and if there is something in there that would facilitate this, I missed it. Here is the post, for any interested in the provenance, and below is the code he wrote. Thanks for any input / advice. Mark Python: # A very basic example showing how to do # Lumagen OSD volume messages from HTP1 using Python 3.7 # Probably very bad. But it does work. import asyncio import websockets import json import re import time import serial # edit to be host name / IP address of HTP1 htp1ip = "192.168.10.185" global volume volume = 0 # This function actually does the listening for JSON on websockets, # working out if it is a volume message and setting it if it is async def htp1(): print ("start htp1") global volume uri = "ws://" + htp1ip + "/ws/controller" async with websockets.connect(uri) as websocket: while True: message = await websocket.recv() if message.startswith ("msoupdate ["): # strip the "msoupdate " from the returned message message = message[10:] jsonlist = json.loads (message) for jsondict in jsonlist: # if this was a volume message, set the volume value if jsondict['path'] == '/volume': volume = jsondict['value'] await asyncio.sleep(0.01) # This function sends simple OSD messages to the Lumagen. # It is lazy and sets the OSD colours every message as that # avoids dealing with any messages from the Lumagen. async def lumagen (): print ("start lumagen") global volume prev_volume = 0 ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0',9600,timeout=0.1) while True: if prev_volume != volume: prev_volume = volume osdStr='ZY4180000000\r\n' ser.write(bytes(osdStr,'ascii')) osdStr='ZY4181FFFFFF\r\n' ser.write(bytes(osdStr,'ascii')) osdStr='ZY4182000004\r\n' ser.write(bytes(osdStr,'ascii')) ostring = str(volume) ostring = ostring + "\n" ostring = "ZT1" + ostring ser.write(bytes(ostring,'ascii')) await asyncio.sleep(0.01) # main loop, if there is an exception sleep for 5s and try again. async def main(): print ("main loop") while True: try: taskhtp1 = asyncio.create_task (htp1()) tasklumagen = asyncio.create_task (lumagen()) await taskhtp1 await tasklumagen except: print ("An exception occurred.

Thank you very much. I don' have a Z-Wave menu, so I will upgrade the firmware.

I decided to just check on the last few updates, since I am on 5.0.16C. It seems, based on my (limited) research that the releases have been primarily focused on Z-Wave. Since I am not using Z-Wave, there is no need to upgrade? Thanks for any guidance. Mark

That sounds like what happens to me once in a while and the fix is in their wiki; you have to delete some files to get it working again. give it a shot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Update: Fixed! I used some different keywords to search, and found another thread that prompted me to use some different keywords, and I found another thread, which led to a post from @Michel Kohanim with the solution that fixed the issue. Since I only use Windows defender, and the Java was running, I knew it wasn't the antivirus issue, but I do run multiple monitors, so found the files noted in the Wiki and deleted them, and I am back in business. I guess the lesson is to describe the symptoms in the Google search, and it probably would have brought me directly to the solution. The question is why did this happen all of a sudden, but I guess that is Windows for you. ? Anyway, for reference: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Admin_Console_Closes_Automatically With kind regards, Michel Admin Console Minimized/Invisible and Cannot be Restored This is usually related Admin Console state files not being updated properly and especially in case of multi monitors. All you need to do is to find the following files in Java temp directory (on Windows: c:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp) and delete them. Or, you can simply search the computer for udi_*.* file patterns: udi_tree.state udi_frame.state udi_pgm.state udi_finder.state udi_launcher.state

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, neither solution worked for me. The symptom is that when I launch "Start.jnlp" from the desktop, the "UD" icon appears, and then disappears, but in task manager, the Java Web Launcher (32 bit) is running. Here are the steps I took: I uninstalled Java using the Java exe, and the remove option. Then I restarted the computer Then I reinstalled Java, restarted again, and then tried launching it again (fail) Next, I added the ISY to the Java Control Panel -> Security sub-tab -> Exception Site List -> add my ISY's IP Address as a URL (i.e. http://192.168.1.100)

I am suddenly unable to launch the Admin Console using Java 1.8.0_251 I searched, and all the threads are old. I cleared the Java cache and even tried reinstalling it, but no dice. I recently upgraded from v4.7.3 to v5.0.16C, and was able to log in after the upgrade. Fixing my scenes...that will be another post, LOL. Thanks for any assistance. Mark
