Just received this if anyone is interested: As of June 1, 2023, the RadioRA 2 main repeater, all starter kits containing the RA2 main repeater, and all Grafik T RF controls for RadioRA 2 will be discontinued.

Well, for the "While I am waiting to see if INSTEON comes up with a new PLM in the 1st Quarter of 2023" I am replacing some of my critical modules and wall switches with Zigbee units. Working fine so far, Oh I do have (1) Z-Wave module also, it is on my 2 cup coffee pot that I keep forgetting to turn off after I pour my coffee. Working fine... turns the unit off after 6 minutes of "ON" time. I am now trying to link Home Assistant to Polisy. Getting there. The brain is giving me a run for my money, slow process.

Could very well be the 4 motion sensors in a row causing the issue. He should probably tape them all and remove the tape one switch at a time (while monitoring the signal) to see if that is the problem and give him an idea as to what the safe number of switches with motion sensors in a row he can have active.

Interesting Z-Wave byproduct, a possible problem....? Buffering and WiFi audio issues? Check out this video and you be the judge. Linus Tech Tips has 15M subscribers and does make some good points. Check out his video about this.

A few years ago I decided to change out the original whole house surge protection with the Levinton unit below. I have not had any real issues since then. Since then, the highest AC voltage monitored on the incoming power lines was I believe 128volts, I am not sure, although I could dump the db. We do get a lot of power outages whether it is for a second or two to a few hours and I am thinking that when the power comes back on may be the issue. I believe I counted 30+ of those outages this year with most being just for a few seconds. For the short term I am going to install a few of my Zigbee outlet modules, but I am planning to hold out for the RA3. I just received an email from U-D that the Matter card for the Polisy is shipping now. Back to Amazon for Zigbee modules and a wall switch or two to keep the wife happy

@MrBill The PLM versions are (1) 24135 (V2.3 or V2.4)Trashed years ago (2) 24135 V2.5 [471B] (replaced the capacitors with no luck) (1) 2413U V2.6 [452B] (died a few weeks ago) As far a as I am concerned, it is time to switch from Insteon to Lutron or something like that. Heck my X10 held up from the late 70's into the 2000's with little or no problems, still have a box full of X10 modules, remotes and other accessories in the shed, that all worked when I switched to Insteon years ago. I am not interested in WiFi or a Cloud based system. I will download the node server for something like the RA2 (since there is nothing available for RA3 yet) and start changing out the Insteon devices. Not sure, but I do not remember seeing any Remote Modules or AC Receptacles for the RA2 or RA3 so I may have to find a work around for those 6 items. Was looking at Zigbee (not sure of its future), but leaning more toward Lutron now.

Over the years I have gone through 3 RJ45 versions of the PLM and now my last one which is a USB version, died. So, I believe it is time to move away from the Insteon product line to one of the other options. Now I just need to narrow down which to go with. Not a big fan of Z-Wave, looking more toward the ZigBee type. The hunt is on

It has been a while and I was just looking at my Polisy "To--Do" list and came across the "Ecobee Forecast" info. I would like to access some of the forecast fields that are in the forecast but for the life of it I have no clue as to where to start. I am sure I will need to do something like Node red or something like that. The only thing that I have running using ecobee is the attic fan based on the difference between the outside temp and the attic temp. Hints

I just got back from Chicago and noticed that there is a 5.0.16C available now. I take it from the posts that the 2843 modules are still reporting false "Open", even in .16C. I had to get on line in Chicago because my mailbox 2843 was malfunctioning more than the normal and disabled it. I put a new battery in it prior to heading up north, so that is not the issue. I now have all 10 2843 sensors disabled. Down to SimpliSafe with "Alarm" only as I dropped the interactive "Alerts" to use the Insteon sensors on the perimeter entry points (gates, screen doors....). Thinking about reinstating the SimpliSafe interactive and reinstalling their sensors (Alert's) on the gates.... Will probably just wait for good news on newer ISY updates before going to the new version.

I do not see the green eco+ on my app yet. I just put the thermostat up to 80 in our long term departures.
