stevehoyt Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 After a few bumps in the road, I think I am almost there. I have my Polisy up and running. It sees my ISY running on a 994i and connects to it. If I bring up the ISY launcher either local or Wan I see 3 entries now. My old ISY and 2 new ones for Polisy on secure and unsecure ports . If I enter the polisy ones I see entries for polisy and openADR. Under Polisy there are no ISY nodes. I have checked Insteon support in the Polisy support and rebooted. So my question... Should I be seeing my existing nodes in the polisy list or have I missed something. Do I have to add something like the node server ISY inventory for it to work. I have included a couple pics of my status windows below. Thanks Steve

You added a Polisy running Polyglot and ISY so now you have 2 ISY controllers (the i994 and Polisy). You've configured Polyglot running on Polisy to connect to the i994 controller. If those above statements are true, then I believe you've got things set up correctly, but just misunderstand what Polyglot should be doing. Polyglot doesn't replace the ISY admin console. It is a separate frame work to manage third party plug-ins for other devices and services. Insteon devices (and z-wave devices) are built in to the ISY but if you want the i994 ISY to control say a Wi-Fi light bulb, then you'd add a node server (plug-in) to Polyglot for that brand of bulb. Then Polyglot + the node server will act as a translator so that you can control the light bulb from the admin console (or programs) just like you would an Insteon LampLinc device. You use Polyglot (what you're calling Polisy above) to setup/configure these other devices and services you see in the Node Server Store menu. Once configured, you'd continue to use the admin console to add them to programs, view their status, or manually control them, just like you have been with Insteon or Z-Wave devices. 1
stevehoyt Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding. I'll try and be more precise in upcoming posts. The interconnections and module relationships are is still sinking into my head. Yes I now have 2 instances of isy running, on the Polisy and the i994. I deleted one device from the i994 and added it to the polisy version of ISY. All went well. I seem to have hit another deadend. I have 3 node servers installed. I may have some configuration issues with them yet to clear up, but they say running and connected. I have tried configuring my polyglot to connect to the version of ISY running on Polisy using its static ip address. When i run the admin console and connect to Polisy I see the node server option at the top. The node server slots are there but only 1 node server shows up. If I reconfigure the polyglot to point to the static address of the ISY copy on the i994, I do not see the node server option at the top of the admin console when I connect to the ISY. I have restarted both polyglot and the isy versions on each hardware platform Looking at my polisy dash board in each of the above cases, it appears to have made a connection. When connected to the polisy isy version it shows 5.2.0. When connected to the ISY on the i994 it shows version 5.3.2 . Any idea why I would have the node server option on the Polisy admin console and not with the i994 admin console. I have also cleared java cache and reloaded the admin software am using version 5.3.2 Thanks Steve Edited December 9, 2021 by stevehoyt
