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.

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.

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.
