Basically there are two things that can happen here. 1) messed up links in a device, but ISY links table correct 2) Messed up ISY links table. 1) Is easy to fix, factory reset the device and restore it from ISY You can very quickly do that to bunches of devices and I would just go ahead and do it, not just to a misbehaving device but all related devices, even most of the devices in your house. Also don't forget the plm is a device with links on it that could be incorrect. 2) is harder to fix. Delete devices from ISY, factory reset devices, add back to ISY and re create all the scenes and re-add to any programs. I have seen both, but number 2 has only happened to me once a very very long time ago and was probably related to when I first added ISY to my system and already had devices programmed manually and then imported them to ISY.

I think it has been more than 20 years since I have seen a router without option for DHCP assigned fixed IP based on MAC address. It is foolish to do it any other way since you would then need to manually keep a table of all your devices with fixed address lest you end up with multiple devices on the same IP, which of course, does not work out well. Furthermore, even if you don't manually accidentally set two devices with the same IP, with DHCP on the router, it could give out that address to some random device, meaning you would need to configure router to not give out that address via DHCP, at which point you might as well just set the router to use DHCP reserved addresses. Finally, a UPS on your router, modem, and eISY is never a bad idea. A relatively small UPS could keep them running for many hours.

PM sent.

I feel your pain. I have seen similar ghost links. The only way to get rid of them as far as I can tell is to completely delete all involved devices from ISY, factory reset them, and bring them back into the fold from scratch. I found that shooting screen shots of all the scenes and whatnot from the admin console of ISY makes recreating the scenes again much easier. Same holds for any programs. This is an issue I had many years ago and seemed to have been a result of devices that died and needed to be replaced as well as moving devices around. I have not had issues like this in over a decade.

OK, found a new site, this one I think will work forever, cuase it says it will, but we will see. https://postimages.org/ use what they call the "direct link". Yeah, but then it will only work on your lan, or you need to open a port or run a vpn back to your house from your phone at all times. The postimages.org website is one that I remember now having used many years ago and if I recall it did exactly what it was supposed to do.

After two days, MS seems to have reset the url and it no longer works. Back to square one.

Why not just leave the 994's? Do you need something more where those devices are located? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have a 994 at one of my sites and I can't think of anything more I want to do at that site and just let it keep doing its thing. Super reliable without any of the beta updates that I have such a hard time not installing. That 994 is seriously so stable I don't even think about it for a couple years now. I have a polisy at my home now and I keep having to hold myself back from installing this latest update. I don't need it, at least not at this point, but that damn temptation keeps coming after me. It is like the ring in the Lord of The Rings. I don't have that temptation with the 994.

When I create a new favorite as a command and then populate the command I want to execute, as soon as I save the command, it crashes UD Mobile. This is consistent every time and on two different android phones. Upon opening UD Mobile I do find the favorite I created successfully saved including the command that crashed it. At one point, Android gave me a message about it crashing and asked me if I wanted to clear the cache. I did, but I don't think that is the solution. Not sure if it is specific to the nodes I am using or not. The display node and command node is a webcontrol output. It happens regardless if I add a custom url for the icon or not. @Javi

Still working. I even edited one of the photos and saved it back to the MS One Drive and the changes showed up in UD mobile.

If button c is turning on button e, then your scene as controlled from button c has button e as a responder

It would be nice if there were just a folder on the phone that you can point UD mobile to retrieve an icon from. With the url over the internet, there is a delay. @Javi

I have found that MS One Drive works for icons on UD Mobile. I hope this is stable over time. Save your photo that you want to use as an icon to one drive. It can be full color or whatever but since the icons or so small, nothing detailed or it will just be lost. Open the image in one drive, right click on it and "Copy URL". Plug that URL into UD mobile custom URL.

@Javi The node maker has gotten the mapped value issue fixed it would appear. But the unrelated issue of incorrect icons persists.

Run at startup is a good idea for any program that has repeats or waits in them to get them going again after a reboot. Of note, a blank if clause will evaluate as true during "run at startup". Also, I have it send me an email if the unit reboots, again, a blank if clause so it only triggers on a reboot.

Except the red square is a UD provided light bulb icon. We are talking about the upper left icon in my pool folder that I have screen shotted above. Perhaps it is because it erroneously put a custom icon in the spot and then colored it red. And sometimes it does erroneously put the custom icon in that spot, usually just for a few seconds before correcting itself. And I only see this swapping around of icons in this one favorites folder. It is the only folder I have used custom icons. Is something going on where all the icons in the same folder can get their icons swapped (temporarily)? I never see icons in other folders acquire any of the custom icons used here or do anything else weird. The creator of the node thinks he knows why I can only program the advanced mapping attributes to an icon while the node is in the designated state. He is going to update later today.

Here is what I have discovered. The node must be in the state that you are setting the advanced config for, while you are setting it. In other words, if you want a different icon while it is on, you must first turn it on, then while it is on, set the icon in the advanced config section. I am quite certain I did not do this the first time I programmed it when I was using Nodelink. I do not know whether this is something that has changed in UD mobile or if it is something to do with the node. Still the issue of the wrong icons showing up either for a few seconds or until I close and reopen the screen. Like just now, the pool lights are on, but instead of getting a red light bulb icon, I got a blocked out red square. I closed the favorites page, reopened it, and now it is a red light bulb. Edit. To be clear, the wrong icons showing up was happening since I was using nodelink. Not new with pg3x node.

@Javi OK, I switched it now so that instead of changing the icon when on, it changes the icon when off. And that works. Still have goofy stuff about putting the wrong icons in there.

I just tried deleting the app, reinstalling, and syncing with ISY, did not restore the backup. Created the favorite from scratch and it still doesn't work. Of note, it crashed UD mobile when I saved it and I had to reopen. I went ahead and restored the backup.

@Javi just tried creating a second favorite in a different folder doing the same thing. To my surprise, when I went to the advanced status config, the settings I created for the other favorite were already there. And when I changed the settings, the changes also showed up in the other one. Then I deleted (remove from favorites) both of them and recreated it. Again, the advanced config stuff was already there. And it also still doesn't work. It seem like UD mobile is tapping into conflicting or duplicate data bases or something.

This is the only page I am using custom url icons on. There isn't anything that looks like a fountain in the standard icons, so I went to a custom. I am using the custom mapping feature in lots of other places to have the standard icons change color when a value hits some number. Like temp turns red above 100, blue below 32 and green otherwise type stuff. I have not noticed any issues there. But these are all using the standard icons from the menu, I am only customizing the color for various states. I don't know if having these things grouped in a folder does something to other items in the folder. Saying this because the pool lights icon is currently and has always been the default icon (light bulb), and yet it is, at times, showing the custom url icon. I have that icon (the standard light bulb) set to turn red when the light is on, but otherwise it is "stock". FYI, the three icons at the bottom, the two temps and the light bulb, I don't recall them ever doing anything funky.

Yes, fountain low is the one I'm talking about here. But all the others are the same. And this is an output that is either on or off. There are no in between values. The icon name "water percnentage" was just a random icon i clicked on for testing. There is no percentage here, it is either on or off. That particular icon is just set to "default". But some of those other custom icons are wrong as well. And they switch around from one thing to another without changing any settings. EDIT: And I should note that these icons are generally not correct. Like above, the "pool lights" icon show a waterfall instead of a lightbulb which it is supposed to show. I just opened the screen again, it showed the fountain and then after a few seconds it changed to a light bulb. And then i opened it a 3rd time, it kept showing the fountain, then I clicked on the edit button and it switched to a light bulb. EDIT 2: I also should note that the icon you see for fountain off is a custom url that is not what is programmed there. And when I open this screen sometimes fountain low also shows that same icon, then it switches to the icon you see there, which is what it is currently set to.

@Javi The node server creator fixed the min max issue. I get no error message, but it doesn't work. I updated node and synced UD mobile. I created a mapped value, but nothing happens to the icon when the output turns on.

So did the unit change its MAC address? I don't know how else it would not follow the DHCP reservation.

And you will need to manually run the second program "run then" to get it started. Unless you reboot ISY, then it will run automatically. A "run at startup" program with a blank "if" will execute "then" at startup.

That program should never work. Every time the co2 level or voc level update, the program will terminate and start over.
