andrewm Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The Polisy product page is very light on hardware specs, and I can't find them in the forums. It does state "3 x 1 GB Ethernet ports", which is a start but then adds "extensive I/O features" which is very vague! So my specific questions would be: - How many USB ports? - Does it have user-accessible GPIO capability? - Does it have relay outputs? If so, what are the electrical specs? - Does it have a cooling fan? Thanks in advance - Andrew Link to comment

The company is investigating Z-Wave Series 700 dongles for this support. ZigBee is also on the table but would use Node Servers for this support. The system comes with BLE, WiFi for the Pro version. There is also a slot for a SIM I believe could be wrong but this is what I recall. There is a header but haven't seen it discussed. 12V @ max 2A (when you have peripherals). But, normally 12V @1A = 12W. Temperature range is commercial. Lastly, the current system will support 1024 Nodes and 1000 Programs - For Now! Link to comment
andrewm Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to have some low-voltage I/O capability. Do you or anyone else know if it'll be possible to use plugin USB boards for that, or will we have to have separate external devices, such as Raspberry Pi? Link to comment
Teken Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to have some low-voltage I/O capability. Do you or anyone else know if it'll be possible to use plugin USB boards for that, or will we have to have separate external devices, such as Raspberry Pi? Almost anything is possible via USB. The problem though is the correct USB drivers need to be integrated with the BSD OS. That is probably the greatest failing in Unix / Linux OS as many of the common Windows USB drivers are not present or readily available for use without each maker investing the time to incorporate them.The so called Plug & Play (P&P) was a great concept more than 20 years ago. But the reality is only 70% of the most common hardware is on board Windows OS and the same support for none Windows drops to below 45%! One only needs to reference BLE!! It’s only taking the Raspberries Pi foundation three freaking years to offer a half *** solution and it’s still not there yet! I hope very much BLE support on BSD won’t take another five years?!? For I/O given the vast support via RPI you simply can’t go wrong so it makes sense to go that route if you have near term plans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment

apostolakisl Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 sounds like it has a gpio header. Of course UDI would have to write code to access those io's. And you would need to open the box and plug into the header (or solder to it, not sure if it is pinned). It also has I2C. Link to comment

Long term it would probably make a lot more sense to offer a Ethernet based I/O board similar to the ones you referenced in the past for relays.Since the Polyisy has three RJ45 ports why not use one of the two remaining instead of hacking the case to shoe horn some crappy cables?!?Another option would be to use the serial port but given that is going to be used for the Insteon connection. I’m not too sure sending multiple serial data streams through a break out box is a very good idea. Regardless, good times for all of us if and when this box becomes the next generation controller!Node Link - Node Link - Bueller - Node Link - Bueller?!?

Beaker Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Question concerning CPU temp. As of Feb 14 or so, dev.cpu.0.temperature within sysctl is no longer reported. I confirmed /boot/loader.conf and it contains the amdtemp_load ="YES" instruction. Checking kernel messages I note that dmesg no longer reports the module being loaded. Anyone seeing the same condition? Was the module removed? Cheers. Ken. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 @kkempster99, Do you see the module being loaded in dmesg? With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
Beaker Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 No. Kernel messages were noted in dmesg up till about Feb 14th. after that it's not noted on reboot. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @kkempster99, Just to be clear, syctl dev.cpu.0.temperature Returns nothing? If so, what's the output of uname -a? With kind regards, Michel Link to comment

Michel Kohanim Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 @kkempster99, This is really really odd. The only thing I can recommend is this: curl -s https://pkg.isy.io/script/update121.sh | sudo bash Before you do so, though, make sure you backup your Polyglot. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
Beaker Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi Michel, Attempted to execute the script and it errors out at the first check looking for POLISY uname -i returns GENERIC not POLISY causing the script to exit. admin@polisy ~]$ uname -i GENERIC UPDATE: downloaded the script and commented out the UNAME -i check. I was able to run the script without error. Rebooted and all is now good. amdtemp module loads and CPU temp is reporting. Additionally, uname -i now denotes POLISY and uname -a shows -p3 A few side affects with a few config changes I made for NTP and BASH profile scrip processing that I had to restore but all good. Thanks again for the assistance. Cheers. Ken. Link to comment
