  1. if you haven't discovered what @apostolakisl is alluding too above, you can Right Click a program name and choose Run Then or Run Else to test those clauses. If they don't work the first thing to look for is a folder condition anywhere above the program (folders can be nested, and folder conditions are inherited). As I mentioned already stay away from folder conditions until you really understand how IF statements the ISY work.... there is a learning curve beyond simple time based conditions.
  2. there are several threads that detail DIY replacement of the crappy capacitors. The capacitors in later versions of the hub seem to last longer than earlier versions. There are also 2 ads on ebay that may be of interest to you: Insteon Capacitors Schlyguy is also a member of this forum, these do ship from Canada but I had mine in about a week. PLM repair I can't personally vouch for this guy, but I have emailed with him and his ad has been repeatedly posted without anyone coming back to complain about the service they received.
  3. did you reboot between and Note this line at the bottom of the 121.sh
  4. Shine your phones flashlight on it.... it will reveal itself as a blue LED. Your z-wave version will also be 4.55.00. That is a 300 series board. Firmware version 5.0.16C is as far as you can go. Help > About: make sure the UI version is also 5.0.16C and not just 5.0.16.
  5. My advise is don't use folder conditions as a beginner. Advance to that in the intermediate to advanced levels of skill. the folder "My Programs" has a folder condition. it must be true for anything under it to run.
  6. Pretty sure that was intentionally done to fix the problem of variable or node values changing before the actually fired.
  7. 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
  8. As @Geddy mentions, just email sales@universal-devices.com I don't think they are really out...
  9. 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.

    smart bulb

    To be clear, the Philips Hue Bridge is required to use the Hue Node Server or ISY Network Resources.
  11. 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.)
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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..
  19. 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).
  20. You should open a ticket: support@universal-devices.com
  21. 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.
  22. Now this sounds like an easily reproducible bug. One that you should open a ticket to make certain it gets attention.
  23. I suspect this is because Polisy is much faster than 994. It's able to update "status" more quickly than 994.
  24. Polyglot cloud is offline due to security issues. No ETA for it's return.
  25. 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.
