September 13, 20178 yr I know perhaps a bit off topic, but I wanted to send a thank you post for io_guy for the great and indispensible package. I finally got the EVL4 and put it all in working order (no thanks to a delay caused by Irma), and it's running flawlessly. I'm now going to retire my nests and switch to ecobees entirely because of the support for it I see in nodelink. io_guy I paypal'd youa token of thanks. Hope it helps.
September 13, 20178 yr Thanks for the reminder! io_guy just made some big updates to Venstar! Another donation from here as well. Paul
September 13, 20178 yr Indeed, NodeLink brings a whole new level of automation and there's no way that I'd go back to the dark ages. Anyone waiting forever for 5.0 to be officially released is really missing out.
September 20, 20178 yr Take a look at the sticky links in this forum. They show the list of devices that NodeLink supports and there’s a pointer to a readme about how to use it. In short, it’s a fantastic little app that you run on a separate machine (like a Raspberry Pi) and it uses the Node Server functionality in the alpha ISY 5.0.x build to add support for lots of devices not currently supported natively. I use it mostly for my two Ecobee thermostats, but it can do a lot more than that.
September 20, 20178 yr Must chime in here... Having taken a break from HA tinkering to focus on other projects, I revisited this just last week to upgrade from v0.3.0 to v0.7.3. As I struggled to remember the password to SSH in to my Raspberry Pi it occurred to me that Nodelink had been running for well over 18 months without any intervention whatsoever. That's pretty impressive if you ask me...
September 20, 20178 yr I have had similar long term success. I have it running on a pc, which has not made it 18 months without a reboot, but it always comes back up after a reboot without intervention and does its thing.
