Pretty sure that was intentionally done to fix the problem of variable or node values changing before the actually fired.

Actually at this point in the game that's $70 wasted upgrade money. He should stick with 5.016C until he can spend his upgrade money on Polisy + zooz 700 series

As @Geddy mentions, just email sales@universal-devices.com I don't think they are really out...

Yes, the 3 button clicks just runs 'sudo shutdown -r now'... It's expecting you to power down after it shuts down... one thing that's no delineated is how long to wait after the command or clicks, because the shutdown isn't instant, I haven't done it in awhile but as I recall I waited a couple of minutes.

To be clear, the Philips Hue Bridge is required to use the Hue Node Server or ISY Network Resources.

who did you order from? the UDI store is here: https://www.universal-devices.com/store/ and 994's are still available... that said... at this point in the game I'd reccoment that you should spend your money on a polisy instead. (standard Polisy is fine, Pro option unnecessary at this point.)

no hub, just a Pi, a 3 will do a 4 is better. Can also be done via a VM or container on something else, easiest to maintain tho if you pick one of the options with HA o/s and Supervisor. https://www.home-assistant.io/ click "Getting Started" at the top to look thru the various options. It's an open source project with no subscription fees unless you want to pay for their cloud interface. Once it's up and running add the Universal-devices integration and the Pentair integration. If you want to drive the lights from the ISY there's a number of ways to set the control up.

By default, PG2 runs at https://<Polisy ip address> PG3 is https://192.168.1.89:3000 Ports 443 and 8080 are used for IoP, but you still need the admin console.

Personally I use the menu item in the PG2 interface, System > Shutdown Polisy or from the admin shell login sudo shutdown -n now The wiki also suggests using the hidden button on the front of Polisy.

There's a long thread that i just spent 15 minutes trying to find via google site search but I'm not turning it up. I've tried a number of things over the years. The best used to be an Autellis hardware interface that wires in parallel to the screenlogic brick. That company appears to be dark, and the product is unavailable. The new best IMO is the Home Assistant Integration that connects directly to Screenlogic via IP address. I then configured a few variables and programs to pass a few values back to the ISY. I added a Salt cell level adjustment that takes input from the UV sensor of the weather station (that's an ISY Node server piping its values to HA via integer variables). I haven't perfected this automation yet because I did it over the winter and the water is not warm enough yet for the salt cell to function. The point tho is to increase chlorine production on sunny days and decrease it on cloudy/overcast or rainy days.

PG2 will still run on a pi. PG3 was designed for Polisy only. As for your conflict... think of Polisy as an upgrade to your ISY. In addition to Polyglot, Polisy runs ISY (on the 994 it's firmware on the Polisy it's technically software). To reitherate, this will retire your 994 hardware and run both polyglot and ISY on a single piece of hardware.

You can ask. it's possible the enhancement makes sense for IoP also... it which case it maybe possible to backport it to the 994 firmware as well... or not.... anyway there's actually a place for product enhancement requests to be posted, which is a good thing... in a regular thread they might get lost.

The program is checking two things Status and looking for DOF. In DON never changes the status to On the compound statement won't be evaluated. I gotta hand it to @apostolakisl this is a cool programing technique.... I haven't moved over to Polisy yet but I've already used it..

A 2413s PLM must be plugged in and online when Polisy boots or the port won't be found. (May or may not be true for 2413u).

You should open a ticket: support@universal-devices.com

like @oberkc's response I suggest linking programs, I'd do it slightly differently. Use your existing programs for what happens all the time, the last statement of that program being to run the optional programs. One thing NOT covered in that response was that these extra conditional programs must be disabled. A disabled program still runs when commanded to by another program. EXISTING PROGRAM: If (probably blank because it's an Alexa command) then ... do whatever to turn on the inside lights... Run Program OutdoorEventLightsON (If) else ... do whatever to turn on the outside lights... Run Program OutdoorEventLightsOFF (If) --------------------------------------------------------------- Program OutdoorEventLightsON (Disabled) if Sunrise to Sunset (same day) then .... do whatever to the outside lights during TURN ON if it's day (this might be left blank) else ....do whatever to the outside light during TURN ON if it's Night out. -------------------------------------------------------------- Program OutdoorEventLightsOFF (Disabled) if Sunrise to Sunset (same day) then .... do whatever to the outside lights during TURN OFF if it's daytime else .... do whatever to the outside light during TURN OFF if it's Night out.

Now this sounds like an easily reproducible bug. One that you should open a ticket to make certain it gets attention.

I suspect this is because Polisy is much faster than 994. It's able to update "status" more quickly than 994.

Polyglot cloud is offline due to security issues. No ETA for it's return.

Note: this does not need to be enabled for the ISY to have internet access and should in fact be left disabled. It's poorly named it actually enables UPnP which is an out of date protocol that's generally no longer used anywhere due to the security issues it creates.

Both are true. You can get a 30 day free trial for a new device anytime by just adding it to the portal. Polisy also comes with a 2 year portal license. To redeem that license I believe you must email UUID number to support@universal-devices.com and they will manually extend the subscription date. NOTE: portal licensing is per device and not per account. Many users that purchased Polisy early used the free 2 year portal license on the 994 to allow access with Polisy.

It's hard to tell by your word choice, Are you saying you are using "Mobilinc Connect" or the "ISY Portal" (aka: my.isy.io) to connect your ISY to Alexa servers?

I'll counter that with, I try to keep all the magic in my local controller, using Alexa only a "dumb" I/O device. In the beginning the only local controller was the ISY, then ISY got a brother Home Assistant. In the end today it depends which controller has direct control of a device as to which controller get the automation or program or scene or grouping. My son on the other hand.. has recently had to adopt Home Assistant as he was an Insteon hub user. In sorting thru all the "stuff" he's bought and added to his house we find it difficult to make Home Assistant the brain or controller because some many of those "things" are "works with alexa" cloud accounts. At his house Alexa is ending up being a co-controller again, because there are too many cloud only devices not supported by a home assistant integration. When purchasing items he didn't make the connection between "cloud" vs "local" control. Now after the insteon debacle he wishes his "stuff" had all local control, so that he could use Alexa as an I/O device only, retaining local control when the internet is off, alexa's down, or the company goes out of business.

This is essentially the diagram you are describing, however your description has an error. should read: Top of stairs: 14/2 - Power/line in (Black as line was connected to the black screw, white is neutral) 14/3 - Goes to bottom stair switch (white neutral, black and red travelers Should read: Bottom Stair: 14/3 - Goes to top of stairs (white neutral, Black and red traveler) 14/2 - To lights/Load (black to common, white neutral). So as you have discovered, the 2nd switch needs to be the companion switch and not a second of the same model.

There's not enough info to sort out your wiring issue, but remember that will Neutral is always White, White is not always Neutral.... that's particularly true with 3-ways... especially if they are more than a few years old. There's no wiring color standard for 3-ways, and there's about 14 different ways to wire a three way. On traditional switches the black screw is common and the other two screws (brass or silver colored) will be travelers. In most configurations the common at one of the 3-way switches will be Line, and the common at the other end will be load. That doesn't hold true tho when line goes to the fixture first. With 3-ways it's important to test and figure out which of the 14 wiring methods is in use before you take it apart. typically the clue is the black screws, one should be always hot whether the fixture is on or off, the black screw on the other switch is should be hot when the fixture is on, that's load. the other two wires are traveler... it's common for white to be a traveler and not neutral.
