Art_DuVall Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 I have been a faithful ISY user for 11 years, but recently moved to a new home and elected to do a wholesale factory reset and started back down automation lane. I decided to try some Zwave devices and I’m trying to learn what I can do with polyglot cloud. So here are my two noobie questions: 1. When I added a GE Zwave light switch, the ISY created three devices: the light switch, scene 1, and scene 2. The light switch works fine, but I just don’t understand what the two scenes are for. I welcome pointers to other articles or the wiki, but I did try and search them before bothering everyone. 2. When I log into the polyglot cloud via the portal, my ISY shows up but it says unmanaged and when I go to the store and attempt to install a nodeserver, the screen jumps back to the dashboard and nothing appears to change. I am sure I am missing something obvious, but I tried the step by step directions and couldn’t make any progress. *** ISY-994 pro running 5.0.16 Thank y’all for your time.

Some of the GE switches include multi-tap capability for on/off which would be the scene 1/2 that the ISY would create. Those scene nodes could then be used in programs.

KeyPads with labels are soooo much easier! I feel you. All that makes things much more complicated. Needs to be natural for a good experience
