Hey Eric, Give v1.0.3 a try. Please let me know. Thanks! -Tim

@Darnok Take a look at this thread Upgraded to Mac OS15.2. Lost ability to open AC....FIXED - eisy - Universal Devices Forum

Yes, I hope they give out a few more details of how it works, what's needed, etc. A teaser screen shot of the new admin console wouldn't hurt

Thanks Guy! I am hoping for an accurate answer to my query as well as the unknowns you mentioned. Maybe one of the UDI folks will respond after the Holidays... or sooner! John

Awesome! Glad its finally working. The new library has the ability to query features supported by the device so I need to do some rework on how I create the node so it properly shows the features it supports, like voltage and current.

Not to hijack the thread, but are you talking about the Insteon garage door kit that has an i/o linc? Just reply yes or no. If yes, it might be worth starting a separate thread on it. Thanks.

3.2.4 works. I can control the KP125M now. The power nodes populate but the voltage and current are 0. I don't see these in the Kasa app so I assume it doesn't report them. Thank you.

Yes, I suspect this is a factor. I have a garage door sensor that the ISY and Polisy would sometimes become out of sync with reality (communication problem). Then during queries and other events, it would sync back up and trigger things unexpectedly. My life seemed to improve as I continued to replace more of the older (power line only) switches with dual-band. Until you have established solid communication, things can happen unexpectedly... I have trouble believing that moving back to the ISY will solve communication problems and find it hard to imagine that the EISY has some sort of programming bug that is missing from the ISY. But...I suppose anything is possible. I helped a friend install a few HomeKit items in their house. In no more than a few months, it stopped working reliably. Then it stopped working altogether. Then apple decided to remove the option of having an iPad as a home hub. Even when I could manually control devices from the HomeKit app, the scheduled automations did not work reliably, or at all. Some of the problems were solved with software updates to the various devices, but that experience made ISY problems seem simple by comparison. I liked the simplicity of the HomeKit experience, but I did not find it to be something that I would choose to rely on. Yes, like you, the reliance on the cloud is further reason I would avoid it. If I could offer any encouragement, it would be to give it a rest from time-to-time and don't wear yourself out. Life can still be good without blinds that open themselves, so a few days or weeks with manual operation is not something over which to lose sleep and, sometimes, the solutions will reveal themselves after taking a break. It sounds as if your thought process and analytical mind are strong and you will figure it out. I wish I could help more, but the inability to dig into and visualize your programs in real time is proving to be a hinderance that I am having trouble overcoming.

Hi @mikek - for the big button, I have left it alone so I can reference the on and off status - even though in my ceiling fan setup I don't have a load wire installed. I just use it to programmatically turn on and off the separate light option in the Insteon fan controller. My Insteon fan controller is permanently wired "hot", so everything is controlled via the Zen32 keypad even though not physically wired. I do have the "load" wired in my "bath" setup. In that case, I also turn on and off a separate light when the "big" button is pressed.

Please try 3.2.4

I'd do it like this: If 'Motion Detector' is switched On (Control) And $Test1 is 0 Then Set 'Test Switch' On Wait 1 minute Set 'Test Switch' Off ------------------------------------------------- Override motion sensing If 'Test Switch' is switched On (Control) >>> paddle the switch ON Then Stop program 'Motion turns on Switch' Set $Test1 = 1 ------------------------------------------------- Wait 15 seconds after turning off the switch before resetting the variable (to prevent motion restarting timer) If 'Test Switch' is switched Off (Control) Then Wait 15 seconds $Test1 = 0 The idea is that $Test1 is a flag that enables the motion sensor (when = 0) or disables it (when = 1). The override program sets it to 1 to disable the motion sensor from generating a switch On command. The last program looks for the switch getting turned off manually, and waits 15 seconds before re-enabling the motion sensor to turn the light on again.

You should not have to add the HS300 manually, it should be auto-discovered if they are on the same network, if you have multiple subnets at your place then you will can add that sub-net to the list on the configuration page and allow discovery across the subnets. If your device is 192.168.1.38 the error says your IoX is not able to see that device so discovery and communication will not work. Something on your network is stopping the IoX from seeing that device. The "warn: Request for customtypedparams" is a PG3 error, so will need info from @bmercier why that is happening. The change_node_names setting should not be any issue. Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

Sorry this took so long to get back to - life gets in the way sometimes Works a treat! Thanks so much!

Is there someone who could possibly add this to the first steps section of the Wiki Eisy User Guide here https://wiki.universal-devices.com/Eisy:User_Guide This is a great way to use the add button on the IoX Launcher. My IoX Launcher stopped working and couldn't find my Eisy. I did every trick in the book clearing caches, uninstalling, and the troubleshooting in the Wiki and everything. I finally downloaded the admin.jnlp and got it working. But this fix is much better. Thanks bigD.

Thanks again, @jkmcfadden. That was really helpful. I found two things I was doing wrong - (1) Trying to use LED parameter values = 1 (using the button press to control the LED) and (2) using "status" instead of "control status" in some of my programs. I'm not sure why I did that, other than I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice I had it both ways. Do you do the same thing with the big button, or are you using that as a wired relay?

Well the text says: Link WiFi-based Matter switches/plugins directly. Link Thread-based Matter switches/plugins through the Nest Hub (2nd Gen) or Apple HomePod. All through UD Mobile! I'm guessing that for the wifi based devices, the Zmatter dongle shouldn't be needed. For the thread based devices, it's not as clear. Thread is a wireless communications standard that requires a controller that acts as a router. It's like an extension to wifi, allowing a mesh network between devices, and using low power, which is important for battery powered devices. I'm guessing that the dongle will play a role here, though the mention of the Nest Hub or HomePod seems to imply that either one of those devices is also needed, or that it might be an alternative to the dongle. That should certainly all be cleared up soon enough for us. But your question is a good one: is the dongle necessary for Matter to work?

I restarted the admin console and now I see what I need to see. For some reason, the node was showing under My Lighting, but not in the Plugins menu.

Hi, I've just installed this NS to check if a device is online in my home network. How do I see the results of a ping? There's no status in the admin console.

A few improvements, a variable isn’t really needed. ------------------------------------------------- Motion turns On Switch If 'Motion Detector' is switched On (Control) Then Set 'Test Switch' On Wait 1 minute Set 'Test Switch' Off ------------------------------------------------- Override - Stop the Timer If 'Test Switch' is switched On (Control) And ‘Test Switch’ status is On Then Disable ‘Motion turns on Switch’ Stop program 'Motion turns on Switch' ** if light is on and on toggle is pressed ** I’m not sure you need both disable and stop, but disable is definitely needed. (Disable may or may not also stop, try it I can’t remember off the top of my head.) point to consider: the way you had the program, even tho you stopped the program, it would still retrigger next time there is motion. ------------------------------------------------- Set Variable >>>> (to prevent motion restarting timer) If 'Test Switch' is switched off And 'Test Switch' Status is off. Then Wait 10 seconds Enable program ‘Motion turns on switch’ ** if light is turned off once, the motion will not be reenabled, and light will stay off. ** If switch is turned off, then turned off again, then re-enable the motion. ** to always re-enable to motion just delete the “and” line in the if statement. ** the wait 10 seconds lets you get away without the motion turning the light on for 1 minute. ------------------------------------------------- Disable is under Programs on the menu. Without Disabling the program addition motion will retrigger it. Stop only interrupts the wait, and prevents the off statement from being run. another consideration: I assume you’re using an Insteon motion (which I don’t have) batttery powered motions typically don’t retransmit often to save battery. I’m not sure if the delay can be adjusted. But keep that in mind when figuring out the delay the light stays on, it must be at least as long as the time period the motion waits to transmit again.

With all the Matters, I guess only a couple really, I have two stupid questions which I am just unclear about. UDI is coming out with a pretty major upgrade in early 2025 for our eisys and it includes, "...Link WiFi-based Matter switches/plugins directly." 1). What does this mean, "Link...directly"? 2). Do I need to purchase the ZMatter USB dongle to utilize WiFi/IP based Matter devices? Such as those Matter based WiFi light bulbs and more, that hook up to your WiFI network, not a wireless connection from the dongle. Thanks! John

Browsers these days are updated every week or so and have so much power now, it would be nice to rid ourselves of another compiler/interpreter base in our systems. After using TinkerCad, browser based 3D CAD design, for a few months, it is hard to believe all that can be done inside a browser now, and with such little delay anywhere. True cloud power! Let e-ISY be (y)our cloud server, right on your own LAN!

All plugin setup should be done in the web portal for Polyglot for the specific plugin then there is usually a customization tab/button should you need to add specific information. Check the "more info" button found on the plugin page in the plugin store. Usually that will have more install and setup guidance if it's needed. It might also have examples of settings. IoX 5.8.4 has been out since late June. If you're still on 5.7.1 you would need to update. PG3x version looks "current". It was released before 5.8.4 so you might have not updated since PG3x version was released.

I casually watch the forums and indeed the Java bit seems to be a never ending source of pain for some. Time to move on.

Can you send me (message me) a log with debug enabled - I only have the old lock and it works - it may need a new Driver - I should be able to see from log
