Polisy

I'm sure UDI folks are crazy busy, UDI website was really slow today after the Polisy announcement. Answer when you have a chance.

If all my current requirements are cloud based (only ecobee now and soon to be Ring) and PGC is working fine for me, Do I need a Polisy? Of course I want one, but do I really need one before I have a need to support a local API?

Thanks,

Mike

I have never used polyglot but with announcement of the new hardware I did some quick research to see what’s available in polyglot.

I found Ecobee and AV Remote items of primary interest, and others with a lesser interest, so I decided what the heck.

UDI is a great company and I need to use polyglot eventually so why not get the appliance designed for that, which will make my life easier.

I am in for the Pro model.

    @TexMike,

    No, you don't. At least not for now.

    With kind regards,

    Michel, thanks for confirming my thoughts. I'm sure I'll end up needing to support local at some point as I continue to add devices. Looks like a great addition to the family.

    Best,

    Mike

    For those like me who want to make a comparison https://polyglot.universal-devices.com/  currently has 56 nodeservers and PGC https://polyglot.isy.io/store has 18. At least one, Ring is only on PGC, but it is still under development and apparently not ready for full release. I see some interesting differences, been interested in CAO tags for a while to name one and implementation would be much easier with a nodeserver. I'm convincing myself I do need one for the additional support.

    @Michel Kohanim one question I can't seem to find an answer. Will @io_guy 's nodes also work on the Polisy?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    @TexMike,

    Yes, I'm working with UDI to include a one-click NodeLink install for Polisy.

    @michel-kohanim Will Polisy support nodeservers for more than one ISY?

    @hbsh01,

    We have not considered this use case. Let  me get back to you.

    Wtih kind regards,
    Michel

    Just to clarify, I am obviously not talking about when the Polisy will in the future eventually replace the ISY-994. Obviously we will need a separate one for each location to be used as a ISY-994 replacement. My question is now about Polyglot/node servers.

    I am actually still on the 4 branch firmware & have not gotten around to test either polyglot nor the portal due to lack of available time. So for that matter does the portal & polyglot cloud and/or polyglot installed on a pi currently support talking to more than one ISY? I currently have 3 ISY's, one at home and at my 2 offices. if I can get one Polisy to talk to all 3 ISY's plug and play out of the box, that would definitely be a no-brainer purchase for me.

    Thanks

    @hbs01,

    Polyglot Cloud can have multiple ISYs per account. On the other hand, in-premise Polyglot has a 1-1 relationship with an ISY. We'll size supporting more than 1 ISY per Polyglot/Polisy.

    With kind regards,
    Michel

    Follow up question: does Polisy require the on-premise connected ISY to be on the 5.x.x branch for polyglot functionality?

    Sorry for my ignorance, what does "We'll size" mean? Thanks.

    @hbsh01,

    It means we'll figure out how long it takes to make the modifications and whether or not it's worth the effort.

    I am thinking of pre-ordering a Polisys but have never used Polyglot so I want to be sure it will address my need. I'm looking to use Insteon KeypadLincs to control Hue or Lifx lighting in a given room such that each Keypad Link button directly sets a specific scene (color, brightness, etc.) for the room without any reliance on Internet connectivity. Am I correct in my understanding that a Polisys will let me set that up in simple ISY programs (no complex scripting or programming)?

    Yes Polisy with the Hue or LIFX nodeserver will do this.  I do this today with a rPi running Polyglot with the Hue and LIFX nodeservers.  

    In anticipation of receiving my Polisy, any suggestions on what I could do with my (then no longer needed) RPi ?

    Is your son going to get a Polisy? If not you can use it at good house or keep it as a temporary back up should something happen with your polisy. I'm planning on adding mine too my back up ISY so I can play around with stuff prior to adding a node server to the house system

    I used a RPi 3 for a web browser for a few years. It's tucked away due to listing the house for sale at the moment. The Chromium browser has a few bugs but the speed is not bad at all.

    Seems ridiculous strapping a small cigarette package size on the back of a 24" monitor though. :) 

    What am I going to do with three RPIs? One has become a genealogy file server just recently.

    Is there agricultural software for the RPi? :) 

     

    It will be a while before my new PolISY will arrive. I am sure I will think of purposes or they will become obsolete by then. :)
