Correction...

It turns out that when I took the update some of my disabled programs were re-enabled.  That's what caused the cycling

 

 

So I added a node to the interface.  Just the header and an on/off switch.  All of a sudden the node associated started turning on and off and on and off repeatedly.  I went in to admin console and could see it toggling on/off etc but there was no program running that could account for it.

I couldn't stop it - had to reboot

 

 

Thanks.  

I just performed the upgrade to the new UI.  Quite slick - I like it.

I'm trying to add a node that is a scene, though, and they don't show up in my nodes.  Is there a setting somewhere to make those show?  Turning on/off a device without affecting the scene throws my switches out of sync.

 

Thanks

Thanks Paul,

 

I'll take a look at that.  I think I had something like that installed years ago to use it as an android appdev device for my son.  I'd forgotten about it.  Now that you mention that there's probably an android VM that would run on W10 too.....

 

Appreciated.

I have an MS Surface 10 that is currently not being used.  I was thinking of wall mounting it and turning it into an HA controller but unfortunately there doesn't see to be a UD Mobile app for the Windows platform.  Is there another frontend that someone can point me at that has a high WAF?

Try adding your port number.  Ex https://192.168.0.172:8443/desc

Thanks. 

 

Turned out to be a combo of adding port number and it not being https on my internal network

Much appreciated

When you log in this way use your portal credentials.

Needs the port like @slimypizza suggests.

If you're downloading the admin.jnlp from the device itself then you've got the IP right. Are you not using the IoX Launcher? That's start.jnlp and is available from the UD website (clicking "My ISY" on the top right) or linked in the Wiki.

Thanks - I'll try that next time.  I didn't realize it used different credentials depending on where the login was coming from.

 

Appreciated1

Not my first rodeo... not even close.  20 years or so at this now.

So I cleared my Java cache, deleted all applets.  Re downloaded admin.jnlp.

I run the console and it doesn't find my local eISY.  So I manually enter the url - https://192.168.0.172/desc ..... not found

So I go to my portal and see my eISY is online with internal IP 192.168.0.172 - grrrr - seems like it should work.

OK let's try another way - I copy the url from the portal page and add it in the console.  Now it finds my eISY but won't accept my credentials.  I've encountered this before - when I try to log in via the cloud my credentials don't work but when  log in via a port forward or local network they do.

So now I can't log in to my eISY neither within my local network (as it's not found) nor via the cloud (it won't take my credentials).

Any idea what's up?

 

Since upgrading to eISY I've got my old ISY in a part time residence.  It's not worth it to me to upgrade to an eISY in this location as the installation is so small.  I'd like to use my portal/UD mobile app connection in my primary residence with an eISY to be able to control a few devices on my part time residence ISY994.  

So... to that end my rest command to turn on a light on my ISY994 would be something like http://myipaddress:myportforward/rest/nodes/10005/CMD/DOF.  This works fine - port forward and all.  But I'm struggling to turn this into a network resource that a program on the eISY can call.

What would be the exact network resource that I would need in my eISY to be able to send that rest command?  And is there a way for me to embed my username/password?  ie get/post, IP, port, path, and url encoding

 

Thanks in advance

Sorry this took so long to get back to - life gets in the way sometimes

 

Works a treat!  Thanks so much!  

Fantastic work!

 

Thanks for this.

 

I'm away from home for a few weeks but I'll implement this when I get home.  I have some old iPads kicking around that won't run UDMobile but I can at least run the switching in a browser window and get some life out of them.

Thanks folks.

That setting was in a peculiar spot - in the hamburger menu in the settings menu.  I did look for some setting that would force a variable retrieve but this was buried pretty deep

It would be a nice feature to have a 'force refresh' button or something like that to retrieve all the current values.

 

 

I have a UD Mobile page with a dozen or so increment widgets.  These are intended to adjust state variables which are identified in each widget.  The thing of it is that none of the values show upon entry to the page and if I click one of the increment up widgets then it seems to assume the value was zero and increment it to 1.  This isn't good because none of the values start at zero.

If I click on the item and load the device dashboard for it then it populates that variable and things work fine but until I do that the values don't show and worse - the widgets assumes the value to be zero on entry.  Clicking up or down will change the value to 1/-1 and I then have no way of knowing where it started from.

Is there a way to force the page to populate the variable values contained on the page without having to go through the dashboard each time.

I note that even if I use a 'status only' type the value of the variable doesn't show automatically.

 

 

I get it - the state variable value doesn't matter - it will trip the IF anytime it changes.

I suppose I could just have one program with 14 bracketed OR's that writes ALL of the current values to their init values.

 

Thanks

That would only work if I know what statevar is...  In your case statevar is 0.  But if you don't know what its value is then that becomes harder.

What I'm trying to do is like this...

I have 14 zones in my sprinkler system.  The duration each zone runs is variable s_zone1Duration, s_zone2Duration etc.   At the beginning of the season  I have a program that sets all the values and all the init values to defaults

As time goes by and it gets hotter/cooler/wetter etc. I may need to adjust the durations.  I want to make sure that if the ISY reboots the those adjusted durations will repopulate.

So.... the <obvious> way is to increase or decrease the durations using a program that simultaneously increase/decreases and saves the new value to the respective init value.  It's clunky, though, because I need 28 programs to accomplish this.

It's far simpler, of course, to just use UD mobile to increase or decrease the value of the variable directly.

What I had hoped to do is have a program that could check if the s_zone1Duration - s_zone1Duration (init) <> 0 then write the current value to the init value

I thought this would be easy but so far it's not....

Another way to accomplish it would be to set a second set of state variables corresponding to the zone durations and make my if statement on matching_set_value - real_set_value <> 0.  That would work too - I just hoped there would be a more direct way

 

 

 

 

There doesn't seem to be a way to assign a variable to the init value either so I'm not sure I can do that.

 

 

I would like to do a compare of a variable's current value to its init value and if they're different then set the init value to the current value.  Specifically this is for my sprinkler zone durations so that if I change the duration and then reboot then it will restart with the last changed value.

Put simply

if statevar_x <> (init value of statevar_x) then (init value of statevar_x) = statevar_x

Is there a way to do an evaluation based on init values?

Has anyone added Hikvision cameras or a Hikvision NVR to UD Mobile?  If so could you share the URLs you're using to do so?

 

Thanks

Oh geez

I've used that for changing it based on the value of a variable or device. I ddn't notice that it had program run status too.

Thanks

 

 

I've written my own extensive sprinkler control program.  I have a series of zone run programs that manage the times and rules for each zone

At the moment the programs all live on a favorites page.  Their type is 'command' and the command is 'run then'.   What I'd like to do is change the color of the program icon based on whether the program is idle, running then, or running else.

 

Is there a known way to do this

 

Thanks

 

Actually you nailed it.

The trick is to ignore the A thru H letters and act as if its an A thru D controller.  Pressing D down (bottom left) then tapping A down (top left) repeatedly confgures it.  I was pressing the D button that is on mine - which is second row right.  It didn't do anything at all.

Thanks!

 

That's an interesting observation.  Might be a problem with their documentation.

I'm taking the instructions from here https://cache.insteon.com/documentation/2342-x22-en.pdf

The 'a' through 'd' on mine are the top two rows.  I continue on with 'e' through 'h'. 

Not sure what to make of it but so far I'm getting nowhere in making it 8 button toggle.  Could be I'm not understanding the functionality

 

 

I just received a new 2342-222 8 button remote.  I've been struggling to turn it into an 8 button toggle controller.  I'm following the instructions about holding the set button 3 seconds a few times  and all the lights flash appropriately.  But when I get to the end it tells me to press D and a down arrow followed by A and a down arrow.  There are no up or down arrows on this controller so I don't know what they're referring to.  I figured they meant dim or bright but this has no dim/bright.....

 

Any advice would be much appreciated

 

Well I did a restore PLM and that did nothing but when I removed and re-added the device the messages started being received again.

Quirky but at least it's working now.

Thanks

 

Thanks for the link.... interesting read - seems like a bit of an enigma solved only by restoring or readding devices.

I did, actually, do a diagnostics and then restore on the devices in question.  I stopped when I didn't see any messaging from them in the diagnostics viewer.  I guess the next step would be to remove them and re-add them.  

Sigh.

I guess I'll go give that a try next

 

Thanks again
