Now that I have my eisy running on 5.6, I as able to test the i3 rotary dimmer model D501. Progress. The dimmer's on/off status controlled at the switch is now refected in the AC. Also the %brightness controlled by the dimmer is accurately reflected in the AC. It will beep on command from the AC. Still can't set some of the parameters. The ramp rate stays stuck at 9.0 minutes, on level and backlight can't be adjusted. When the ramp rate problem is fixed, I'd go ahead and install these. They're very attractive, intuitive and my spouse likes them a lot better than the paddles. Also I can't get the ramp rate seen in the AC when it is adjusted manually.

After some hours of random flailing about, I got it to work. What finally solved it was to reset the wifi. Two presses on the button and managed from UD mobile. I will be waiting awhile before migrating from my ISY until the eisy is a reliable machine that doesn't require too much effort to keep it up and running.

I will try rebooting the eisy. May have to open a ticket if that doesn't work. Rebooting seems to hang at eisy [1069] error resolving pool pool.ntp.org: name does not resolve.

Updated to 5.6. Eisy can't be found by the launcher even though it has an assigned address by the router. I have pulled power and reconnected. No immediate success. It is disconnected from the portal.

An alternative for wiring in a situation where the neutral is in the fixture and a switch leg runs to the box is to place a micromodule in the fixture and use the switch leg to wire the sensing circuit as shown.

If none of that works, open a ticket. I had this problem with my eisy and could not solve it despite proving the PLM and cable were good. It was some software problem with my eisy that was beyond my knowledge. UDI remoted in and spent quite a bit of time diagnosing and fixing it. Great support.

Upgraded my eisy to 5.5.9 just now. Upgrade was seamless. I am happy and grateful to report that my i3 Outlet adds each outlet separately now and that local control of each outlet is immediately registered in the AC. I am so glad the companies are working with each other. UDI is featured now on the Insteon website.

Homeseer now has a working Nest plugin. I've installed it and it handles my 8 Nest thermostats flawlessly.

And they are fulfilling orders. I purchased a couple of dimmers from them that arrived very promptly.

I'm interested as well.

There's a Hubitat app, MyNextManager that works. Takes a very complicated and finnicky setup but works. There is a new Homeseer plugin that is in beta that works like a charm with a very easy setup.

And checking in my Elk-RP software 3 is fire supervision, just as you show. Very specific set up procedure. Thanks for posting the solution.

Now that's interesting. I was looking at the instructions for the M1XRFTWM

I think fire supervision is type 2.

Volt lighting. Low Voltage Transformers for Landscape Lighting | VOLT® Lighting (voltlighting.com) I have three of their transformers with never a failure. They offer a range of voltages in a single transformer to account for different run lengths. They have a variety of control options but it happens that an Insteon on/off module fits inside the case plugged in to the outlet for the control options and the transformer can then be plugged into the on/off module making the whole setup completely waterproof.

In addition to HA, there is a HomeSeer plugin that will utilize the Insteon Hub. There's a lot of activity on that Forum from abandoned Hub users. HS is not free but is another potential solution with a very robust set of plugins (device drivers) for various automation devices.

There's a plugin for Homeseer HS3 and HS4 that also works with the hub. Very active discussion there since SmartHome went up in smoke.

Thank you very much! That worked brilliantly. Took a long time for the updates. I did buy the Polisy very early in the rollout.... Happy Holidays!

Basic question on ISY on Polisy. SSH to Polisy and following the directions for sudo pkg update, sudo pkg upgrade, sudo service isy restart informs me that isy is not found. So of course the ISY Finder can't find it. I must be missing a basic step but I can't find it in the forum discussions.

I have an Enphase solar system. Installed cost about $35K after tax credits (I live in Oregon). Payback on the system given current production will be about 8-9 years. It is a kick to watch the meter sending power back to PGE in the summer when the air conditioning is running. I have around 160 Insteon devices in the home and the solar system has not created any hiccups (as opposed to the oven, dishwasher etc.) The solar system uses powerline communications and there has been no interference either way. Very nice monitoring of the system from a web page with reports and graphs for any time period and there is an excellent plugin for Homeseer.

Smart Home keeps sending me emails telling my I need to buy a serial PLM. It links to the PLM sold out page. Not so smart marketing.

Thanks, tried this but it won't find an update. Is the update compatible with ISY 5.3?

I hadn't checked the Polisy console for about a month. All of my nodeservers are functioning. Today I see that nothing has been recorded in the log since February 11. I've restarted, rebooted to no effect. The other symptom is that I cannot get the Polisy configuration to show, only the message "please wait, getting configuration" Version 2.2.11 Status: Connected Frontend Version: 2.2.9-5 ISY Version: 5.3.0 Uptime: 9 Minute(s) 39 Second(s) (c) 2021 UDI Running on Polisy Documentation

Hope that works. MIght try replacing just one to see if the problem is cured.

Yes, that's right. Had that reversed in my post. The Nest that was problematic did not have enough wires to it for the common. I fixed it by rewiring which was something of a pain.
