TexMike Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Now that Polisy shipping date is approaching I am wondering about the pros/cons of moving cloud based nodeservers local. I currently have ecobee and Ring running on PGC and it's working fine. Any reason to move those to Polisy or should I just leave those as is and use Polisy for local? Also, can mods please created a dedicated Polisy thread? Thanks, Mike

I believe that Ecobee and Ring have cloud based API's, so moving them local probably wouldn't solve much, other than giving you a degree of local control (and I believe you're stuck with PGC for Ring). It would mean that you have more things you have to maintain - though that may be a good thing for some folks. Personally, I don't mind offloading server management to UDI when/where it's reasonable. I intend to use Polisy for nodeservers that don't have a PGC installation. 2
MWareman Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 You are indeed ‘stuck’ with PGC for Ring - because Ring needs the server hosting the poly to be accessible to their API with a trusted certificate on a static URL.To host on a local device (like Polisy) - everyone would have to contact Ring to get their own API key and register a URL for their callbacks. This is not really possible for most people. 1

This is not really possible for most people. To add to this Ring aka Amazon are not giving out API key's or developer access easily. I was completely unable to get even a e-mail reply from multiple inquiries for developer access.
