Ok, I’m convinced this is definitely worth the effort. Am I nuts for wanting to build “new” system in parallel with “old” system? It requires that I go find a PLM and that is apparently a gold rush level of searching! I’m afraid to migrate the PLM to the new system until things are stable/tested.

Athlon- I don’t know how you found that - I searched like crazy, you’re brilliant! So either I dust off my very old Python skills or hope a developer here wants to take a crack at it (with a very willing tester!) There are a ton of LED bulbs and strip controllers who all utilize this - I’m surprised it hasn’t come up already. I’m going to set up a Polisy system in tandem with the current system (providing I can find a 2nd PLM). Thanks much for the guidance.

I've been happily using the ISY for years - full house of Insteon (some modules, believe it or not, still working since 2004). I've pretty much used up my "stock" of replacement appliance-link and dimmer modules, so at some point soon, I'll have to migrate. I've decided on Polisy as my "bridge to the future" and wanted to get some input from those that have traveled this road already. I'm looking forward to migrating to UD's portal and mobile app (currently using Mobilinc). Specifically, it looks like any number of Wifi plugs could work - the consensus seems to be the TPLink ones. That's great. What I'm hoping to figure out - I have LED accent lights all over the place - all controlled by Insteon for on/off, but each LED controller is also controlled by Wifi. These are all linked to FluxWifi (FluxSmart). Has anyone worked with those - is there a Node server available? This is going to be a journey, but glad to know lots of folks have already done this. Thanks in advance, MJ

Hi all... we're in the process of putting solar shades in and our vendor of choice is using Rollease (https://www.rolleaseacmeda.com/us/products/smarthome) Everything I have read here is about Somfy, but nothing on these guys. They can integrate with Alexa so could easily live with it not being integrated to my ISY, but if I can... I'd love to have them be part of scenes (movie time, good morning, etc.). They have a serial interface to their hub which looks like it could work, but I wanted to check in here first to see if there was anything from the collective wisdom? Thanks in advance! Marc

Resurrecting this again as it's getting colder at night - and I'm getting major push back to put the fan on a timer I need to leave the KPL alone so that it turns on and off purely - no timer activation. What I need is a trigger, say a button on a RemoteLinc2 - that initiates "turn fan on" for 30 mins, off for 30, on for 30, off for 30 ... for a total of 8 hours... with the smarts to stop the program and leave the fan in an OFF state "IF KPL OFF" is seen. I'm totally a newbie at this and really appreciate any tips as I embark on this as my weekend project Thanks all!!!

You guys rock, thank you so much. I'm going to play with some of this now!

Greetings! Recent convert from SmartHome to ISY994i here. I'm looking for any help on how to program my whole house fan to cycle - as in 15 or 30 mins on/off, repeat indefinitely until stopped. During the day when not using AC I'll leave it on constant (so just turn the KPL on), but at night we need it to cycle. I am totally new to ISY programming, I've looked at the commands and syntax, but not sure if REPEAT is the right way to do it . What I'm hoping to accomplish is: Activate KPL or Mobilinc command or voice command through Alexa "turn night fan on" 30 mins on 30 mins off repeat until "turn night fan off" command Any help or guidance is much appreciated. I searched for fan cycle and whole house fan and didn't find anything quite like what I am trying to do.
