Yeah thanks. I thought I'd try here first to avoid burdening Support, but I've now gone ahead and contacted them as you suggested. For those interested in this area, Michel kindly responded that I should use "Emporia Vue, for which there's a node server" The product guide for Emporia is on their website here. I suspect that the node server will have to go out to Emporia to get its data rather than communicate directly with the meter as at present. My preference would always be to do as much locally as possible, rather than be dependent on external services, but it's not a deal breaker.

I've got the 21050 Smart Meter Module installed in my ISY 994 to obtain usage info from my electricity meter. I couldn't find much mention of the equivalent functionality wrt ISY on Polisy. The only smart meter Node Server I saw obtains its data from ISY I did receive a recent email from UDI regarding the Zmatter module which says "Easy migration from 994 500 series" though I don't see the "500 series" label in the UDI store to determine if this is relevant to me. But that email also implied the Zigbee radio isn't yet activated So is there an upgrade path for ISY on Polisy that will still allow continued retrieval of data from my smart meter? If so where do I find the information on doing that? If not is there another approach that people are using? Thanks - Andrew

Just upgraded from 5.0.16c to 5.3.0 and I'm seeing an artifact / error on some of my switches related to the Beep: I don't recall it being there before, but I can't be sure as I don't live in this UI! This particular switch is a 2476D. I didn't check all my devices but I'm seeing it on other 2476D's but not the 2477D. Also some Lamplincs but not others. I assume it's older devices which don't support the Beep functionality; in which case a better indication would be to disable the widgets rather than display gobbledygook.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to have some low-voltage I/O capability. Do you or anyone else know if it'll be possible to use plugin USB boards for that, or will we have to have separate external devices, such as Raspberry Pi?

The Polisy product page is very light on hardware specs, and I can't find them in the forums. It does state "3 x 1 GB Ethernet ports", which is a start but then adds "extensive I/O features" which is very vague! So my specific questions would be: - How many USB ports? - Does it have user-accessible GPIO capability? - Does it have relay outputs? If so, what are the electrical specs? - Does it have a cooling fan? Thanks in advance - Andrew

I had a very similar issue to others here which stumped me for a while. I have multiple scenes in the kitchen, one of which is "All kitchen lights". At some point that scene stopped working via Google Home - the lights would turn on then immediately off, or some random combination thereof. But it worked fine via Amazon Echo. I guess Google is trying to be clever by interpreting the world "all" and then controlling all the related "devices" it knows about, which given they are scenes has weird results. The work round is to use synonyms for "all" (entire, complete, everything) but that's effectively whack-a-mole, because Google will eventually work out the synonyms and I'll be back at square one. Google should instead try for a more exact / literal word match against the spoken before trying to add interpretations based on word meanings. So much for Artificial intelligence!

Ha. Maybe AI can fix the damn AllOn problem!

I have the same problem as the OP. It seems like Google decides if any words match and then turns on all the matching devices. I think it does indicate in its confirmation whether it has a unique match (eg "Turning on normal family room lights") vs an approximate match (eg "Turning on 3 lights") - the number in the latter indicating there are multiple matches. Unfortunately, though, there's no way to know which lights (ie devices / scenes / whatever) it's decided to turn on - it'd be nice if the Activity Detail included that, and it'd be nicer still if you could feed back to Google the fact it got it wrong!

I've recently upgraded my ISY 994i with the High Powered Zigbee Smart Grid (SEP1.1) Radio so as to connect to my PG&E smartmeter. I do have connectivity and am receiving meter usage info, but no pricing information. Looking around the forums I found a post that mentioned changing the firmware when the new radio was added. There were no instructions provided with my hardware upgrade, so I hadn't realized this was necessary. However now having changed to the ZS firmware, I'm not seeing any change in functionality - it's not working any better and I'm still not getting pricing information. Our PG&E plan is based on net metering with Time-of-use (TOU). Should I be getting that pricing info from the meter? If so, how do I work out where the problem is? - Andrew

I'm ok now as well - thanks

I had exactly the same thing happen to me today, and I'm currently stuck in the same position as you - unable to add any programs. In my case I believe I'd got up to 12 entries and everything had been working ok. But then I decided I wanted to change the UI to show all entries at once, by changing the number of entries per page from 10 to 25. At that point suddenly I was left with only 2 entries. After restarting the browser / rebooting ISY it didn't sort itself out so I selected the option to delete all entries. I could then re-add scenes, but not programs. Trying to add entries for programs I'd added previously (before the delete all) fails with "Device already has a spoken". Adding an entry for a new device doesn't return any error, but there is no new entry listed - then trying to repeat the operation will fail with "Device already has a spoken".

I agree - it's more memorable and personal (think "Siri" or "Alexa"). Could be worse though - eg "Aye-Ess-Why-9-9-4"!

Thanks Lee, I stand corrected - I hadn't realized it handled more than the credit card remote codes, which in my case are programmed into my universal remote. I agree 511 nodes would be a little much to pre-add to ISY! It would be nice if the IRLinc pre-assigned the 12 nodes for the standard credit card remote in its 2nd database, in which case ISY could optionally pre-populate them when the device is added, But it sounds like that's not the way it works. What a pity - I guess I'll have to do this the long way. - Andrew

Michel, Thanks for the information - I'm glad it's operating as expected. I do find it a bit strange though the way the IrLincRx works in comparison to the RemoteLinc remote control. The IRLincRX has only a finite set of IR codes that its remote transmits - it's not like it learns any old code from any remote. So it is basically similar to the RemoteLinc, in that the device subnoodes are predictable. In fact the IrLincRx has an advantage over the RemoteLinc in that the IR receiver unit is continually connected to the Insteon network, as it's not a battery device. Yet the RemoteLinc subnodes are created when the device is added to ISY, but that's not the case with the IrLincRx where the subnodes are only created in ISY on a button-by-button basis. I presume this is more of an Insteon issue though, rather than an ISY issue? - Andrew

Hi Michel, Well that's good news - or would be if it worked! The first node on my old device is as follows (there are 5 others, because of the buttons I have defined): <node flag="128"> <address>F 5A 50 1</address> <name>FR - Remote A</name> <type>3.6.0.0</type> <enabled>true</enabled> <deviceClass>0</deviceClass> <wattage>0</wattage> <dcPeriod>0</dcPeriod> <pnode>F 5A 50 1</pnode> <ELK_ID>I08</ELK_ID> <property id="ST" value=" " formatted=" " uom="%/on/off"/> </node> The only node on my new device is as follows: <node flag="128"> <address>22 7B 56 0</address> <name>NewIrLinc-22.7B.56.0</name> <type>3.6.64.0</type> <enabled>true</enabled> <deviceClass>0</deviceClass> <wattage>0</wattage> <dcPeriod>0</dcPeriod> <pnode>22 7B 56 0</pnode> <ELK_ID>O12</ELK_ID> <property id="ST" value=" " formatted=" " uom="%/on/off"/> </node> The types are not identical, but I don't know if they are identical enough? I don't get the option to replace my old with my new device. Attempting to restore my old device results in an error as the attached log shows. So if the 2411R is restoreable / replaceable, the fact I can't restore mine and I get an error in the log implies it's probably bad? But then if the reported types are close enough, which can't I do a replace with the new device? - Andrew ISY-Events-Log.v4.2.10__Sun 2014.09.28 02.07.12 PM.txt
