I do not own this dehumidifier but have added functionality based on interaction with another user who does. So, as you might imagine, development is a bit hampered. First draft is posted to the store, if you have a smart life or tuya enabled dehumidifier, give it a try and let me know. I expect to be making a few changes over the next few days to fine tune it, but expect it to largely work as is now. Below is the dehumidifier the plugin is designed around, though I suspect other brands will work identically. Looking at this Amazon site, you really have to dig deep to see that it uses the Smart Life App. I suspect that there are a lot of things that use Smart Life App that searching Amazon for "Smart Life" doesn't bring up because for whatever reason they barely say it. Only place I find it mentioned for this dehumidifier is in the video.

I have now added these guys. They are simple on/off wall warts. They are dirt cheap and conveniently small. I have seen them sold on amazon under a few brand names, they should all work the same, but I can't say for sure. These just do on/off, no energy monitoring or dimming or anything else. Again, this is all local control. IoX does not subscribe, it polls every 30 seconds. So if you change the status manually at the plug or using the app, there will be a delay of up to 30 seconds for IoX to show you the status change. Changing from IoX will give you an immediate update.

I expanded this plugin to include Smart Life compatible switches. I changed the name of the plugin to Smart Life/Tuya and dropped the reference to fans. These are din rail mounted switches that are shockingly inexpensive and at least after 1 week of use, pretty darn good. Smart Life App and Tuya App are two brands of the same product all using the same api/backend. They are only a bit over $13/ea when you buy a 4 pack. They monitor instant power, kwh consumption over time, amps, and volts. Of course you can remote control them on/off using their app or my plugin. You have to jump through a few hoops with these products to get all the parameters to enter into the plugin, but not that big of a deal. I put extremely detailed instructions at this url. https://lovintexas.github.io/udi-tuya-fan-pg3x/PLUGIN_GUIDE.html

It i just one command, "set armed status night".

This is the same issue I see, this is arming my Elk panel. It succeeded in arming, but I got the message. It is a command type of favorite that sets the alarm system to armed night in this instance. Arming the system also triggers some programs in IoX to run.

You could try a different computer and see if it has the same behavior. Keep in mind you had more issues than just the Java console. I would look into what @Javi said.

I randomly get those errors on ud Mobile as well. The command succeeds, yet I get an error. Unlike the op, I am not consistently seeing it.

This is where eisy ui says I am after the ssh upgrade. It appears I am in the staging repo. I don't know that I need cutting edge features on this polisy, but I would like to be certain it keeps working smoothly, especially with UD mobile.

For what it's worth, I just updated a Polisy as per the above instructions and it seems to have gone off without a hitch. It took just minutes, maybe 10 at the most, probably less. The java admin console and eisy ui both open and everything looks normal. Going forward, I assume i can update using eisy ui update page? Or will polisy continue to require ssh?

Nothing is wrong with your router if you can ping the device using the lan address. I was under the impression that your ISY wasn't showing up on the IoX finder, not that it showed up and you couldn't click on it and get a menu. If you put in the LAN address, IoX finder finds it and correctly shows the firmware version and all, but when you click on the line it doesn't pull up a menu, well that isn't your router blocking it. It sounds more like a Java issue. Completely remove Java from your computer and reinstall it and then download the "start.jnlp" file from the forum. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/24381-iox-launcher/ None of this explains why you said your programs weren't running.

By WAN side of your router, you mean your public Ip address and then you have port forwarding setup? If that works, but being a computer on the same LAN can't see the ISY, then something is wrong with your router. You could also just ping your ISY from inside the LAN. Are you sure the computer you are using is on the same LAN? You don't have it on a guest network or some isolated network? And if your computer is on the same WAN as ISY, and you use WAN:port and have your router set with port forwarding, well that usually doesn't work. You usually can't bounce out of and then back into the same WAN like that. Typically you can only do that from a different WAN. Which would also explain why you aren't seeing ISY on your local connection. Another test, from your computer that is accessing isy, open a command prompt or powershell prompt and type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx again where xxx.xxx.xxx..xxx is you LAN ip address of ISY. You should see 4 successful pings. If not, then you are either not on the same LAN (or VLAN) as ISY, or your router is doing something to block you.

By WAN address, do you mean using the portal address? Anyway, that would explain why UD mobile worked, probably you had it configured using the portal rather than a local connection. But if you are logged into the admin console, you can find your LAN ip listed in the settings section and try manually setting those into iox finder as I listed above. Did you set up your isy to have a static address in your router? Iox finder should find your ISY on its own, but if something is going on in your router, your router can block network discovery if configured to do so. I don't know how that would change all by itself, but maybe your router is getting flaky?

Are you able to log into your router and check to see an active connection and get the ip address? With the ip address, try putting http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 (substituting your ip address for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) into the java iox finder manually and see if it pops up with the unit being present. If so, obviously open it. Also, try using ssh to log into it. In windows, type "powershell" into the search box to open powershell. from the prompt, type ssh admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (again, subsitute your ip address) and then the password is also admin which it will prompt you for if is alive and responding at that ip. If you have apple, I don't know how to open an ssh session, but I'm sure you can google it. But again, I would take the earlier advice of a new power supply. I'm sure you have a suitable one somewhere in your house, just be sure it has sufficient amps. I forget what that number is, but look at your current ones amp rating and find one with at least that many amps. This is where power supplies fail, they peter out on the supply amps, so they may register 12v when under no load, but as soon as you start pulling a load, the volts drop. ISY can sort of work under these circumstances, which is seemingly your issue. Also, replacing the plm is likely to cause more issues than it solves. To properly replace a plm, you need to be able to log into ISY and tell it "restore plm" or all of the links will be wrong and that just confuses the issue more. A bad PLM would not prevent your from opening the admin console, so don't blame that on the plm. It would probably be better to boot ISY without any plm rather than the wrong one at this point. Again, my first thought would be a flaky power supply.

Might just ask the forum or chat gpt how to write the program.

I have IoX setup at my church controlling all the HVAC and lights. There are a bunch of people who I want to give access to the system, but setting them up is a bit of a hassle. No way in the world they are going to do a reasonably good job at setting up their own favorites. So, would it be a good idea to backup my own personal UD mobile, then create a UD mobile profile that is good for the church, then backup that profile and restore it to each person's phone? Then restore my own profile back to my phone. Also, do backed up profiles on an Android recover to an Apple?
