See this post:

I have the pro version too (and a 2nd non-pro i bought for experimentation). I don't really feel gypped, but I also was an early decider that bought it pre-production. I've also been around long enough to know that development at UDI is slow but steady, so I'm not particularly surprised we aren't there yet.

Most of the answers to your questions are covered in threads in this sub-forum. At this point in the game UDI should rename this, or if renaming isn't possible at least open a new sub-forum in the same bread crumb (this is Home > Polisy > Geek Batch). Wifi (other than joining a network) and Bluetooth control haven't yet been developed. To move from PGC to local, there is no automatic path. Close the Admin Console, stop and delete the cloud instance of the NS, reinstall it as local. In general, it's not all bad to leave the instances that talk to another cloud service on PCG. Examples include the Weather nodeservers, and MyQ... and really most of them. NodeServers that talk directly on your local hardware on the local network are the Nodeservers that must be installed locally. This is why you see 2 different stores lists... In some cases the nodeserver can't be cloud based, sometimes both can exist, and other times cloud is only suitable. The Rachio NS also draws a special mention from me. It only talks to Rachio's cloud API and has local versions and a cloud version. The local version requires and open port tho, therefor I run it on PCG so that I don't need to open a local port. Why 3 network connectors? why not? in reality we don't know, today only one is used. In the future they might be used for direct connection of a network appliance, which would allow direct traffic that doesn't travel via the local network. I don't believe the motherboard is UDI's original design, it's a board they mass purchased and built a box around, exposing connections they thought would be most useful in the future.

Its an oddly named forum, "Geek Batch". It really should be renamed.

If anyone else installed V1.1.0 besides me you'll want to sudo pkg update sudo pkg upgrade isy sudo service udx restart sudo service isy restart before you try to add portal.... V1.2.0 fixes that... ? UDI was super fast when I reported the issue.... We really did new a place to discuss the alpha versions of ISY on Polisy besides this thread....

@Michel Kohanim That's awesome!!! So far only added to my second Polisy. Two topics with questions: 1) The java admin console is the tool to access? Obviously I got there via that method, but I'm asking the question because I thought this version was going to be browser based rather than java? or perhaps that's a future step? 2) you mentioned that ISY-994 backups can't be restored on Polisy ISY, is there or will there be an approach for moving or importing anything? Devices of any type (Z-wave or Insteon) and/or programs? Is there a Z-wave dongle for Polisy? Is there a method to move an Insteon setup over? or will it require starting with an empty PLM, and building from scratch? Nothing about this is critical or meant to put you in a defensive mode, I'm simply asking questions that many will have about two topics in the path forward so that we can approach this in an informed manner. Congratulations!! This is an awesome milestone to have reached! It's awesome to have a faster, more powerful device at our disposal!!

I had forgotten about the DB9, but for some reason I thought it was the dedicated console port, but apparently the console port isn't exposed on the back-panel, it's on-board only. So the DB9 must be where Insteon goes. Thankfully I never throw away cables that come with a device.

I've been wondering what the hardware configuration is for Insteon ISY on Polisy. There are USB serial ports, but I don't believe there is a port compatible with 2413s. Since it's apparently in testing maybe @Michel Kohanim can give us a hint about things to come. I have two hypothesis, but I'm not sharing them because they are both nothing more than my wild *** guesses.

Except he's counting with the variable... its appears he's limited it to 0, 1, 2 but I'm not sure yet how that was accomplished.

Larry, Let us see the program that the 10 motions are using (or one of them if it's 10 similar programs). My concern is that if you are using your Integer variable as part of the IF statement (to prevent it growing larger than 2) that we have effected that program with the change to state variable. In general, State Variables and Integer variables are very similar. However State variables can be used as a Trigger in an If statement, Integer variables can only be used as a Filter in an If statement. State variables can also be a filter, but there can be adverse side effects if there is an Else statement. (that's a lot of complicated thoughts reduced to 2 sentences!)

Re-reading your first post again, Option C is definitely what you want, change to using a State Variable, and use the two program method. Then with your program that sends the notification you'll want to use If $stemp_test <= 2 then send notification.

Option C is possible as long as you are using a State Variable. The trick is if the variable might change while we are waiting the hour then you need two programs. In the simplest form: aaaa test - [ID 00E8][Parent 0001] If $stemp_test is 2 Then Wait 1 hour $stemp_test = 0 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') will reset the variable to zero after an hour. the problem is if the variable CHANGES during the hour the timer is stopped and we never reach the $stemp_test = 0 If It's possible that the variable might change you could use Two programs like this: aaaa test - [ID 00E8][Parent 0001] If $stemp_test is 2 Then Run Program 'bbbbtest' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') bbbbtest - [ID 00FE][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Disable Program 'aaaa test' Wait 1 hour $stemp_test = 0 Enable Program 'aaaa test' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Option A is also possible, but Option C using a state variable is likely the simplest way. Option B doesn't sound like what you want to accomplish anyway.

As @larryllix points out what you want to do is "adjust scene". Your program would look something like this: If From 12:01:00AM To Sunrise + 1 Minute (next day) then In "Scenename" set "SwitchThatContolsPower" to 35% in 0.1 second In '2nd Floor Hallway / 2nd Fl Hall Lts (Guest) Ctrl' set "SwitchThatControlsPower" to 35% in .01 Second In '2nd Floor Hallway / 2nd Fl Hall Lts (Chris) Slave' set "SwitchThatControlsPower" to 35% in .01 Second In '2nd Floor Hallway / 2nd Fl Hall Lts (Stairs) Slav' set "SwitchThatControlsPower" to 35% in .01 Second Else In "Scenename" set "SwitchThatContolsPower" to 100% in 0.1 second In '2nd Floor Hallway / 2nd Fl Hall Lts (Guest) Ctrl' set "SwitchThatControlsPower" to 100% in .01 Second In '2nd Floor Hallway / 2nd Fl Hall Lts (Chris) Slave' set "SwitchThatControlsPower" to 100% in .01 Second In '2nd Floor Hallway / 2nd Fl Hall Lts (Stairs) Slav' set "SwitchThatControlsPower" to 100% in .01 Second Effectively this reprograms how the scene works at midnight and sunrise (next day). To program lines like those Choose "Adjust scene" as the Action: Yes you should wind up with 4 lines in your Then and Else blocks, one for the scene (ISY is the controller) and one for each of 4 controllers. EDIT TO ADD: As an afterthought this does generate 15 or 20 seconds worth of Insteon traffic when it runs, I adjusted times above by 1 minute to move it away from other events that might occur at midnight or Sunrise, you could adjust that as necessary. The point being to maximize performance and minimize errors or collisions adjust the time to when the system won't also be generating other events.

Your backup should work. OP had issues upgrading, his issue is resolved, I've been helping him directly.

What switch are you using? Insteon? Z-wave? Model?

Correct.

It starts over. I wasn't sure, so I created this quick program: AA testor - [ID 016B][Parent 0001] If $stemp_test >= 1 Then Set 'LR Lamp 1' On Set 'LR Lamp 2' Off Wait 5 minutes Set 'LR Lamp 1' Off Set 'LR Lamp 2' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') to start $stemp_test was 0, I turned on Lamp 2 manually, lamp 1 was off. then I changed the value of $stemp_test to 1 and as expected lamp 1 came on lamp 2 went off then I manually turned on lamp 2 again then I changed $stemp_test value to 2 and lamp2 turned off again, lamp 1 stayed on.

Happy to hear you got it working, not completely sure what you did but it works!

If you want to fix it so that the program will always finish it needs to be broken into two programs: Program 1 If $WirelessWaterSensor is 1 Then Run Program 2 (then) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program 2 (Disabled) If (nothing) Then Disable Program 1 Send Notification to 'Email' content 'Swamp Tank Full' Set 'OR-Xmas_Austrian' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'OR-Xmas_Austrian' Off Enable Program 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Reminder Disabled means that a program won't run because of a change in the evaluation of the If statement. A Disabled program will still run when called by another program. (Disabled doesn't mean Never). It should also be noted the second program must disable the first or the same issue will occur as when it was one program.

He's running a version of polyglot that doesn't yet have backup.

The default port for polyglot on polisy is 443. Should be that unless you changed it.

I believe 11,27,29, and 38 refer to the ID number of the network resource that caused the error. In other words it's telling you which Network Resource caused the error.

It's actually fixed as of 5.3.2... but don't stop there just go to 5.3.3 where it's also fixed. After 5.3.3 is loaded you will need to get all the queued items written by putting the device in programming mode and writing updates to the device (it's on the device right click menu) once they are all written they shouldn't come back from using "adjust scene"

That's the part I assumed but never tried. Natively the device has to keep the cloud server up to date, otherwise the reverse proxy feature of the app could never work when your outside the local network. When your phone app is suddenly used away it has to know how to reach the module being manipulated.

From the way I understand it the local API is 100% local, it's just not documented (or not documented by tp-link, there's a lot of reverse engineering discussion available online). They do "phone home" tho in the form of some cloud instance that allows you to reach them via the app from outside your network. If your local network allows you to create traffic rules I'll bet you could block the device from making its cloud connection and it would still function via the local API, that's only a guess tho. They work perfectly local only with the nodeserver/ISY. The 4-pack is always like 24.99 (if it's not wait a few days and it will be again.) resulting in normal everyday if purchased in 4 packs ~6.25/each For Prime day they've been getting a lot of press out of discounting the 1 and 2 packs to about the same level, but the 4 pack stayed at its everyday price. I was hoping for a deal on other model that reports load, but it so far doesn't look like it's going to get a prime day discount. I only need 1 of that model tho so if it's not discounted I'll just order it.
