I upgraded without issues. It was smooth. The UDI phone app kept sending notifications about the progress. INSTEON working fine. I don't have any Zigbee or Z-Wave devices. Looking forward to the upcoming plugin mentioned in the release notes that will enable homekit.

This release just dropped today (2/10/24). Who's installed it so far?

@Michel Kohanim Looks like the code examples for matter.js have been updated. There are both old and new API examples. https://github.com/project-chip/matter.js/tree/main/packages/matter-node.js-examples/src/examples Have you made any progress tying any of it into the ISY code?

@Michel Kohanim Looks like matter.js 0.9.0 (2024-05-14) is yet another big list of changes! And they introduced a new API not that long ago. So does one develop now in hopes its finally stable.?.?.? sheesh

Thanks Michael! Can't build a house if the foundation is not ready. Just digging around the GitHub for Matter stuff. I think (just a guess and could be wrong) Michael and team is using matter.js implementation. Looking over the ChangeLog they have indeed done a bunch of work recently. https://github.com/project-chip/matter.js/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md https://github.com/project-chip/matter.js

@Michel Kohanim, You mentioned the Matter support might require a boarder router. I think that works for many since a lot of us that use HomeKit have Apple TVs, HomePods. And if not Apple I am sure they have SmartThings or something else like it. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help support this development.

Initiated update, rebooted when prompted, cleared Java cache, logged back in. Updated Polisy without issues.

@Michel Kohanim mentioned Matter a bit a go. I think Matter support is coming from UDI shortly...

Always good news when the UDI team has a new development "very close" to ready. Looking forward to seeing the new HomeKit support.

I did the update and it finished. Rebooted when the popup said it needed a Reboot. Programs seemed to be OK without any changes.

I had issues with being stuck on PG3 v3.1.23_1. After many attempts with [Upgrade Packages] and rebooting several times, I did some reading around the forums and finally realized I had not done the PG3 to PG3x upgrade. I found the Upgrade to PG3x process in the UDI Wiki. Followed the steps and after two tries, cleared Java and browser caches, etc. I finally got my Polisy updated to PG3x. One final try to upgrade to PG3x v3.2.2 with clicking the [Upgrade Packages] and rebooting it worked.

Good catch IM! Thanks Michel!

Not sure if it helps but I had a while back some SwitchLinc Timer switches that went bad which made the ISY lockup until I removed and replaced them with new regular SwitchLinc switches. I did not figure this out though until I unlinking a bunch of the switches from the ISY to systematically isolate the problem.

The thing about the ISY programming is it can easily loop back on itself when you try to check something your going to change. In order for this to work without issue you will have to do it like this... If From Sunset To 10:30:00PM (same day) Then Set 'Outlet' On Set 'Lantern' On Else Set 'Outlet' Off Set 'Lantern' Off And to improve this further you can put them in a scene and then you would only need to do this... If From Sunset To 10:30:00PM (same day) Then Set 'Outlet and Lantern Scene' On Else Set 'Outlet and Lantern Scene' Off

2.8.4 Beta

Brian is correct. The official firmware updates are the only ones that currently use that feature. The beta firmware updates are manually upgraded and come every few months. The official version updates are more like yearly or so. The amazing thing about the beta updates are they are in most cases very stable and worth the time to apply. You will always find the beta software available from the forum section... Current Release, Betas, and Bug Reports Thanks,

I think the replace device and restore device commands are some of the best commands in the ISY. They save so much time! Thanks,

Thanks! This has worked well so far, no one has yelled out, "I'm in the dark, can you PLEASE turn the lights back on". Thanks,

I use this in conjunction with the Bathroom fan timer program. Thanks,

I use this in conjunction with the Bathroom lights motion program. Thanks,

Round two. I reworked this program, the first version had places where it could go awry. This version also will have the basic function even when the motion sensor does not work or batteries go. Thanks,

Here is what I came up with for our bathroom lights with adding a motion sensor. I had to come up with an idea on how to avoid it shutting off the lights when someone is in the shower where it won't pick up the motion, so I have included a "bathtime" schedule where the delay is longer. Master Bath Motion If Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Motion' is switched On And Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Motion' is not switched Off Then Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Check Bathtime' (If) Master Bath Lights Switched On If Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is switched On Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is switched Fast On Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is switched On Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is switched Fast On Then Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Check Bathtime' (If) Master Bath Lights Switched Off If Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is switched Off Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is switched Fast Off Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is switched Off Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is switched Fast Off Then Stop program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 5 Min' Stop program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 30 Min' Set Scene 'Master Bath / Master Bath' Off Master Bath Lights Check Bathtime (disabled) If From 6:00:00AM To Sunrise + 1 hour (same day) Or From Sunset - 1 hour To 11:00:00PM (same day) Then Stop program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 5 Min' Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 30 Min' (If) Else Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 5 Min' (If) Stop program 'Master Bath Lights Delay 30 Min' Master Bath Lights Delay 5 Min (disabled) If Program 'Any "Master Bath" Lights On' is True Then Wait 5 minutes Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Switched Off' (Then Path) Master Bath Lights Delay 30 Min (disabled) If Program 'Any "Master Bath" Lights On' is True Then Wait 30 minutes Run Program 'Master Bath Lights Switched Off' (Then Path) Any "Master Bath" Lights On If Status 'Master Bath / Master Bath Main' is not Off Or Status 'Master Bath / Master Bath Tub' is not Off Thanks,

Here is an example of my bathroom fan timers. I have found that having two different options is more than enough, so I utilized the two basic functions of the wall switch the "tap" and the "double tap". Master Bath Fan Start 15 Min Timer If Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Fan' is switched On Then Run Program 'Master Bath Fan Delay 15 Min' (Then Path) Stop program 'Master Bath Fan Delay 30 Min' Master Bath Fan Start 30 Min Timer If Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Fan' is switched Fast On Then Stop program 'Master Bath Fan Delay 15 Min' Run Program 'Master Bath Fan Delay 30 Min' (Then Path) Master Bath Fan Delay 15 Min (disabled) If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 15 minutes Run Program 'Master Bath Fan Off' (Then Path) Master Bath Fan Delay 30 Min (disabled) If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Wait 30 minutes Run Program 'Master Bath Fan Off' (Then Path) Master Bath Fan Off If Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Fan' is switched Off Or Control 'Master Bath / Master Bath Fan' is switched Fast Off Then Stop program 'Master Bath Fan Delay 15 Min' Stop program 'Master Bath Fan Delay 30 Min' Set 'Master Bath / Master Bath Fan' Off Thanks,

Talked to my wife and she did not like the idea of the fan on unless in the shower so the fan coming on a few minutes after the light is turned on may cause this. I guess she does not like the noise, especially the one in our guest bathroom where the fan is a louder unit. Anyways so I have the fan setup with timers and have asked her to make sure she turns it on when in the shower. I may figure out a way around this but I still need to brainstorm some more. Thanks,

I will have to play with that idea Rand. The one thing I will have to work around is when a light gets left on after a short bathroom visit. I think with the motion sensor I can. Thanks for the suggestion, its a good one. Thanks,
