I’m in anyway. UDI is awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It said the Polisy was the future of isy, so maybe it is the next isy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Do they have any plans to introduce a 1080p model? It’s not very popular on IPCamTalk.com due to the 720p resolution and the cost. I suspect the market is not DIY, however. The other features you mentioned above are very nice! Thanks for any insight. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I use windows 10 and am up to date. If you updated ISY firmware, you also have to update the admin console. Unless you’re using the newer admin console named “start” (?) which does not require any more further admin comse updates. I hope this makes sense. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Agreed. I would even pay $20 for the app; I am not a fan of subscription models. I imagine this may be hard to do, since nobody ever created an app? Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You make a good point. I have two other 1080p cameras covering my porch and the approach to it that are Dahua Starlight cameras with the Sony Starvis sensors and when I was considering the Doorbird I only had my SkyBell on the porch. Fenderman convinced me to not get it, and I went with the two Dahua cameras I have now. [emoji44] Given the coverage I have now, a Doorbird probably would be sufficient but I would have to wire for it also. [emoji848] Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Doorbird does have good qualities (that you mention); the only problem with it is the resolution is only 720 P and the cost is kind of high so therefore it is not favored over at IPcamtalk.com We do need some better wired doorbell solutions with the Sony Starvis sensor.

I have Blue Iris and I love it; I would recommend buying it from the site below. The best option for a doorbell cam right now is the Dahua DB-11, which has less issues than the HikVision (and the various clone models) that came out in 2017. The DIY “UDI” site for cameras is IPCamTalk.com; start with the Cliff Notes, which are a little out of date with respect to specific camera models, but provides a solid foundation of information: The IP Cam Talk ‘Cliff Notes’ is a document containing a lot of collective wisdom, and is incorporated into the IP Cam Talk Wiki To access it via IPCamTalk.com, find the horizontal blue navigation bar at the top of any page, and select "Wiki", then in the "Everything Else" category, and then click on "IP Cam Talk Cliff Notes.

I don’t have any useful input on your plan, but I also have a SkyBell HD. Due to performance issues specific to my SkyBell, I am going to move to the Dahua DB-11 soon so I can use it with Blue Iris, which is my NVR software. I also have two cameras on the porch, so the motion notifications are handled by those cameras, and a doorbell camera is not really necessary, but I have a camera addiction problem [emoji848]. The SkyBell stopped working reliably for me some time ago, but this was after I added the cameras on the porch. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I may have missed it, but Is this feature available for Amazon Echo? I notice you can set the rooms in the portal. Thanks. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

If you are into DIY, just buy the LED strip lights in a roll, enclosures for the strips (optional), and a transformer. I have a bunch of info on various BOM options I collected in a Word document when I was doing my research. If interested, let me know and I can share it via Google Drive.

Blue Iris, an NVR software program you install on a PC, can receive commands to do this via http. I don’t know about the dedicated NVR’s, but come on over to www.ipcamtalk.com Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I use it to run pool programs where it changes the speed of my pump so that my slide will come on and so that I can turn the pool off or on if were using it outside of the regularly scheduled run time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

www.ipcamtalk.com is the best surveillance site community. This should help get you started, but it is also in the IPCamTalk Wiki https://docs.google.com/file/d/1yAKfH5S62ehVsPruZKDxD7C95qTPCj-e/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msword Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yay! Is it still a daughter board configuration? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for the reply, but a power-cycle of the ISY solved the problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Michel. However, it is still not working this morning here; do we need to do anything to kick start it? [emoji41] Good thing I still have manual control to fall back on, and it really makes you appreciate the “magical” experience of voice control. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s still not working here. Here is the message I am getting: “Sorry the device that X is connected to is not responding please check it’s network connection and power supply.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can ask Alexa to “dim [A scene]”, but it only works at some small percentage each time, so you may need to keep repeating it to get the desired effect. [emoji44] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been experiencing similar issues over the last couple months mostly with LampLinc’s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whoops; I guess I missed that post! [emoji44] Thanks Benoit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I admit I read this thread in pieces, but since we never got the thread title changed as I had suggested, and if UPGRADING is indeed as easy as you stated, maybe we should start a new thread? I guess it would be a thread specifically for upgrading from an older ISY skill to V3. We could outline these steps. I have been waiting to upgrade due to all the issues noted in his thread, and frankly I don’t need any more “techeadaches”, but again, I read the thread in pieces. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What happens after the 7-day full access trial? I didn’t see any pricing, but maybe I missed it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure if this helps, but did you see the thread (paraphrasing) “No devices discovered using V3”, which outlines some complications using V3. I really wish Sonos would have used a different name for this, like Sonos 1A (for Alexa)! [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
