UDI Supporting i3 Products
I have one and everything works on it. See the discussion in this thread

Support thread: IoX 5.6.0 Release
"When you try to set these options you might need to click the button to the left rather than "Write Changes" at the bottom of the window. If you are just changing the setting then pressing "write changes" it's a UI issue/bug/annoyance since the start of 5.x firmware (commented on here often)" @Geddy--Thanks! that worked. I didn't think the label would be an active button 🙂

Support thread: IoX 5.6.0 Release
Interesting. I can't get the AC to write to the device at all. I've deleted it and added it back a couple of times without any changes in behavior. It is recognized as a i3 dimmer 0.54 when its added.

Support thread: IoX 5.6.0 Release
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.

Support thread: IoX 5.6.0 Release
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.

Support thread: IoX 5.6.0 Release
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.

Support thread: IoX 5.6.0 Release
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.

Wiring question
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.

ISY to eisy Migration Trouble
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.

UDI Supporting i3 Products
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.

Does pg3 connect to the Nest thermostats anymore?`
Homeseer now has a working Nest plugin. I've installed it and it handles my 8 Nest thermostats flawlessly.

Does Insteon.com sell dimmers?
And they are fulfilling orders. I purchased a couple of dimmers from them that arrived very promptly.

Nest Thermostat and ISY
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.

Insteon HUB (2245) cloud servers shut down
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.

Insteon Hubs on eBay going for $300 plus
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.

ISY on Polisy v5.2.0 Is Now Available
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!

ISY on Polisy v5.2.0 Is Now Available
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.

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

Polisy log not recording
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

Mailbox alert without tilt?
These are a nice product and do work inside my freezers but the range of the transmission is much shorter. They warn about condensation ruining the electronics if you take them out of the freezer to change the batteries without drying them off with a hair dryer so I wonder how long they would last outside. Battery on one of them lasted about 9 months before needing replacement just recently and the other one will need to be replaced soon. In any case, the OP's mailbox doesn't have a flap so these wouldn't work for him. My mailbox is about 100 feet away from the house. I might try putting one of the CAO Tags on the flap just to see how it compares with the current set up.

Mailbox alert without tilt?
Sorry, yes the correct url is adaptivation.com The product is called a Pal Pad. They come in different sizes and sensitivities. The pad by itself could detect a stack of mail. I constructed a weighted panel supported on four corners with small tubing that slides on screws and a center point projection that contacts the pad to make it sensitive enough to detect a couple of letters. I suppose you could do the same kind of thing with a momentary switch under a panel cheaper. I settled on monitoring the flap since I had that option.

Mailbox alert without tilt?
What I have done with this is to install a hardwired contact sensor that detects the mail box flap opening. The magnet is on the flap and the sensor is mounted inside the mailbox. Wire from the sensor runs out the back through a sealed hole to connect with a Honeywell 5816OD wireless sensor that has connections for an external contact sensor. This transmits a signal to my ElK M1G which is then read by my ISY. I get an email whenever the mailbox is opened. At night after 10 PM if anyone opens that flap, the outside lights go on, strobes flash and the outside siren goes off. You could use the Everspring Z-Wave SM103 which also has external contact connections to do the same thing with a Z-wave system. You would need to waterproof it. The Honeywell device is designed for outdoor installation. Anything wireless will have to be installed outside the mailbox. Rereading your initial post, your mailbox may not have a flap closure over the slot. Another solution I considered is to use a membrane switch in the mailbox. I experimented with one from adaptivision.com that is very sensitive and properly installed would be able to detect the weight of a couple of letters. Same kind of installation otherwise. Run wires from the membrane switch to a transmitter outside the box.

ISY994 not finding Zwave Devices
Had this problem as well. Here's the thread with what worked for me. The 500 board doesn't have the antenna that was on the 300 board. As you'll see, I had to get devices very close to add them. Once I had a few added, things went better.
