There are 3 PLMs that will work with a Policy - the USB dongle is one of them. The other two are either very difficult to find, or folks are price gouging to the extreme for them.

To folks new here and looking for a new hardware solution - that USB PLM will not work with an ISYxxx - it will only work with one of the Policys.

If, and only if, he can also find an affordable PLM. Otherwise - go with a Policy when available and a ~$45 USB PLM from Ebay.

Welcome. My guess is there will be a step by step here for you very soon. In the meantime, check this: https://www.reddit.com/r/insteon/comments/u3oj4o/my_hub_is_now_offline/i4spl7s/?utm_term=39472169896&context=3&utm_medium=comment_embed&utm_source=embed&utm_name=667e0dd8-bcc6-11ec-9c09-5afb4e42df57

Igonsteon Now that's funny. ?

When I used the term 'linking' in my post I meant by reputation. I was not talking about the hardware or software.

Given how many folks from the now defunct 'Hub' community are showing up here, I hope the uniformed are not linking UD to Smarthome and/or Nokia. EDIT: By the term 'linking' I'm talking about reputation - NOT linking hardware and/or software between UD and these other failing companies.

It's not your app - it's the cloud your app talks to. (It's gone.)

From the Nokia website: "Touch a switch or turn a dial and your lights turn on. Every time. With patented dual-mesh technology, even if your Wi-Fi is down, your switches still work."

Just ordered one from Ebay - $48 including tax & shipping.

Would you recommend I get a 2448a7 as a backup to my current PLM for my Policy Pro? I have several Insteon devices.

I'm running Homebridge on a Pi. I use it as a 'bridge' from my Kasa stuff to my Velux blinds controller enabling me to do more elaborate scheduling than the Velux app allows. (There is no PG3 node for Velux.) It just sits there and works great. I just checked - there are several plugins available for Insteon in Homebridge. I have not tried any of them, but for those already running Homebridge there may be a solution there as well. Having said all of that - if starting from scratch from your 'broken' Hub - I would go with Home Assistant and watch this thread.

No issues here today. Have you've programmed your 'spokens' in your Portal? I assume you've linked your Alexa app with 'ISY Optimized for Smarthome V3'?

Just updated to 3.0.10 - I'm able to add them to programs now. Your Node server has many more options than the Kasa app has! One notable one is it looks like I may be able to set a color by RGB - and that's not in the app for these. I needed that because I've installed two of them and would very much like to match the two color-wise. Awesome work - thanks again! I won't have time to completely test everything until Friday as we leave tomorrow morning for the day, but if you would like me to test anything in particular, just let me know.

Thank you!

PM sent...

I restarted PG3 this morning and all seems good.

@JimboAutomates I've been waiting for this issue to be resolved before I send you that stuff - hopefully I won't have to if it's related:

Thanks - I'll update here if the situation changes.

Hmmm. Just realized the PG2 Node server Store is empty as well. (I no longer have any PG2 Node Servers.)

All of my Node Servers are listed as disconnected. Also - the Node server Store is empty. (It was before I did the update and was the reason I did the update.) What do I do?

Just installed one of these: https://www.kasasmart.com/us/products/smart-lighting/kasa-smart-light-strip-multicolor-kl420l5 Very cool, by the way. It works perfectly fine from the Kasa app. It shows up in the AC's Main Tab. It does not, however, show up in the list of 'Your Devices' when I try to add it to a program. I can turn it on and off from the AC's Main Tab, so it is connected to the ISY. I can also see it in PG3. And - it's the only node with more than one driver(9) in PG3. I know it's a new item - if you need assistance with testing this, just let me know. My AC is running 5.4.3 - My Kasa Node is running 3.0.9 - My PG3 is 3.0.40 I am noticing, however, that PG3 is reporting I'm running ISY version 5.3.0. (I've restarted everything this morning a few times.)

Ahhh- Thanks again. Because I have 4 mini-splits I'll need 8 applets then.

Is it possible to trigger both an on event and an off event from one node (Applet)? The Applet I created only turns the unit on. I've searched their docs and cannot find a way to use one Applet for both states.
