You may be correct, but I've been doing it for 5 years without a hitch (perhaps with good luck on my side). I could go to weekly when I'm home and daily when I'm on vacation. Thanks, Ross

Even though it's (probably) not necessary, I have my router on an on/off module and reboot it (off for a minute) every day. I feel it has cleared up a few of these types of mysterious issues.

@FarmerGeek Put the router on an Insteon on/off module (or Kasa or Yolink) so you can reset it remotely. I have a program that turns my router and cable modem off for 1 minute each day at 5:15. I know I shouldn't have to do it, but I've had few router problems since I've been doing it. Ross

I'm not sure this is helpful, but you can use 2 outdoor on/off modules to control a linear actuator. Scroll down to see my post here: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/45156-seeking-advice-on-controlling-linear-actuator/#comment-394531 Turn on the first module, the gate opens. Turn on the second module, the gate closes. Turn them both on (or off), nothing happens. Ross

I use gmail to send emails. Here are my settings.

Verizon still allows email to text notifications. However, every once in awhile (about twice a year), they do get wonky for a about a week or so.

I have to say that it has never been a problem for me to leave the admin console open 24/7. Yes, after a few days it stops working, but I simply close Java via Task Manager and then start it up again. To my knowledge, leaving it open has never affected anything adversely. I like having it open so I can tinker whenever I want.

@photogeek54 I'm mostly a lurker, but I use this as well. I'm also timid of trying anything that is non-production! I'll gladly update when it hits the productions store. Thank you for helping us out, Ross

I don't know who has access to the Wiki, but when tidbits like this are shared, can they also be added to the Wiki? Ross

I have YoLink sensors which, via programming, control my Insteon thermostats (no plugin needed and are available on eBay) which control my heat pump. I use OpenWeatherMap for forecasting. I poll once every 6 hours.

@paulbates Paul, will you please let me know what you replace the IOLink with? Hopefully something from YoLink. Thanks, Ross

Grew up in Indiana. Most of the state stayed on Eastern Standard time year-round. The counties in the NW corner were on Central time and changed their clocks to stay with Chicago. Same for a few counties in the SW corner. The counties near Louisville were officially not supposed to change their clocks, but they did anyway to stay on Louisville time. There was a West Wing episode about Indiana's crazy time zones back then. I lived in Evansville and went to school in Bloomington. It took "3 hours" to drive to school, but only "1 hour" to drive home. We just used to call it Slow Time or Fast Time so we all knew when lunch was. Ross

I ran into this over the weekend. I recommend drinking. In Configuration - System, there is a checkbox "Query at Restart". Uncheck it! Good luck, Ross

@PhanTomiZ Worked like a charm! @Geddy had previously mentioned that I may need to update my App Password. When I went in to create a new one for my EISY, my previous App Password for my ISY said it was last used on Feb 23 - that corresponded to when it stopped working. @PhanTomiZ Please offer your "Instruction Services" to UDI and write the definitive instructions to Migrate to an EISY! I needed it this past weekend. The only thing I would change is #7 Instead of "7. For Password enter the password associated with your Account" Use this: "7. For Password enter your newly created App Password associated with your Account" Thank you again! Ross

@Geddy I will consider changing the app password; however, I might wait until I exhaust other possibilities (including opening a ticket) as I've forgotten the process and will need to do some research. To answer your other question: I send to both a text email (Verizon - I know, archaic) and a once/day email to another Gmail account. My last Sent email was Feb 24. I'm good with UD Mobile notifications, but my wife just wants a text. I prefer the texts myself. Thanks, Ross
