  1. Not really enough information, but is your Portal subscription expired? All of the intermittent UD issues I've had with Echo's were due to Amazon changing something. If not your Portal subscription, I would try relinking the skill. If that doesn't work, try deleting and redo the skill. Not updating in ten years could also be an issue. 🤨
  2. Upgraded with no issues on eisy.

    Well, since you said "Goodbye Universal Devices" a few minutes before this post and you want to control your Insteon devices, I would say the Insteon Hub is your only choice. It's certainly not "plug and play" as you will have to start over from scratch with your devices, scenes, and programs. I recommend a factory reset on every device you have and start rebuilding from there with the Hub. There are other issues you will run into, but since you seem done with UD, the Insteon Hub is the only choice that I know of. Good luck.
  4. Same. The two portal accounts affected came back online three hours ago.
  5. I have two different UniFi routers at different locations. UD Portal went offline for both of them. I have a third portal account on an AT&T router that is still good. Looking in the UniFi app, it shows both UD devices connected to the internet. Anyone else having this portal problem with UniFi? Thanks.
  6. When I set a few of these up for fanlincs a several years ago, I followed the wiki instructions. I don't remember exactly the problem I had, but it was similar to yours. My pure accident I discovered that if I deleted and readded the controller of each scene the keypad worked perfectly. I think after I discovered that I started adding the scene's controller last. I can't remember if that worked. Regardless, deleting and readding each scene controller worked for me. I can't explain why that makes a difference, but it was consistent. Just an idea.
  7. It added one node named "YoLink Valve" with a NodeDef of "yomanipu." Restart log attached. This package is a Valve Controller 2 with an Evo Valve Operator. I thought this would fit my existing valve, but it doesn't. I'm saving it for another location, though. I'm going bite the bullet and install a 3/4" and 1" version of this package. That won't happen until January. Different valve actuators, but it's the same controller. I've reconnected it after node server testing. It's just sitting on the floor. You can have access. Let me know how that works. YoLink_12-7-2023_64527_PM.zip
  8. I'm pleased to report YoLink's Valve Controller 2 works with the node server; even though, it's not on the list of supported devices. This controller has valve control and sensing, but only one node was added. I opened and closed the valve on the admin console just fine. I also opened and closed the valve manually with the handle. That also correctly reported open and closed on the admin console. I don't know where it's getting its information from, but it works. I've only used the node server for a few days with many leak detectors, but so far, it's rock solid.
  9. Is your Hue bridge on a DHCP reserved IP or static? Have you tried a custom key with the bridge local IP address? https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/36609-new-router-now-hue-node-doesnt-work-all-others-do/?do=findComment&comment=343219
  10. I had a MyLink setup with an ISY-944 in a condo I used to rent out. I used network resources to control it with Alexa and keypadlinc buttons. Still works as far as I know. I found the MyLink specifically (and Somfy in general) has terrible range, but I finally found a spot to plug in the MyLink that worked. I'm still using an Autelis and urtsi in my own place also controlled with network resources on an eISY. Autelis is long gone so if it fails, I'll need a new solution.
  11. Flicker is one thing. My previous strobe-light effect was really annoying. Interesting that Lutron flickers. Mine only happened/happens with Insteon powerline traffic. And only with loads connected to keypadlinc dimmers.
  12. Minor update now that I've lived with it a bit longer. The camera-like, strobe light flashes are completely gone. However, I do get an occasional flicker with Insteon traffic. The minor flicker is dimmer, rather than, lightning-like. I'm completely satisfied, but the solution doesn't 100% fix the problem. Further stabilizer experimentation could possibly yield perfect results, but I'm happy with the way it is.
  13. Pretty sure the answer is no. It may unofficially or partially function. You'll need an eISY for new products. The last update for the 994 was almost two years ago.
  14. I updated to it yesterday with no issues. It would be nice to have release notes beforehand. The update didn't require a power cycle to function this time. Just the usual reboot. No differences noted, but my setup is pretty basic.
  15. Coming back to post the fix that worked for me if anyone is interested. Someone on Reddit said he had the same problem only on keypadlincs and stated LED dimming stabilizers helped but didn't fix the problem completely. I remember reading about them on this forum last year but forgot about the post. I have 4" retrofit cans with two lights on one dimmer and four on the other. I ordered the sample pack. The company recommends trying one yellow, then one blue, then two yellow, and lastly two blue. On the two light circuit, I installed one yellow in one of the light housings. Fixed the problem completely. I tried the new lights I bought. Same--worked perfectly. On the four light circuit, I tried one yellow at the keypadlinc. Slight communication flicker. Same with one blue. Removed the device. I put the remaining yellow in one of the cans. Fixed the problem completely again.
  16. Thanks. I actually did that almost six years ago. Wagos were indispensable for testing (and installation.) Current lights had good dimming, no flickering, etc. I didn't see the communication flashing until after installation. I was hoping someone found something that works without the trial and error again.
  17. I did a major remodel almost six years ago and put all LED lights in. I have some 4" cans on keypadlinc dimmers. When the recessed can lights are dimmed, they flash bright with Insteon traffic and only Insteon traffic. You would think it's lightning if you didn't know what it was. After all this time, I thought I would try to find a replacement. I found some nice but expensive Halo lights tonight at Home Depot to try out. They dim great, but flash even worse. So does anyone have a suggestion for lights that don't flash? I wish I could disable powerline communication on those keypadlincs, but I don't think that is possible. Light requirements: 4" gimballed and flat retrofit 3000K 90+ CRI dimmable to at least 10% (5% preferred) Thanks
  18. OK, sure thing.
  19. Looked into it. They did. CEO of Sonos: For now, Google Assistant is absent from both speakers. Sonos says this is due to changes that Google has implemented for companies that want to run the voice service on third-party hardware. Patrick Spence claims it’s unrelated to the ongoing legal battle between the two companies and insists Assistant is now more of a “heavy engineering lift” than it was before. “Right now, we don’t see it being worth the effort. We hope Google will take another path that will allow us to continue to offer it in more of a lightweight manner the way we do today. But we also feel well covered with what we have with both Alexa and Sonos Voice Control.”
  20. Not that it helps at all, but I found it interesting Sonos dropped support for Google Assistant on their latest speakers. I'm guessing Google pulled a vintage Apple.
  21. Thanks. I looked for but didn't see that support thread, but my comments are still the same about 3.1.25 on eISY. All good, except having to repower to get everything running again.
  22. I assume this topic is for eISY and ver 3.1.25. Upgrade went fine, except the restart after upgrade didn't work. I couldn't open the Polyglot page. I tried three restarts and then repowered the eISY. That worked. I haven't had to repower in the past few updates, just restart.
  23. Making Hue scenes, rather than programs, work well for me.
  24. Definitely. I never understood why Smarthome treated UDI like they did many years ago, especially since UDI was the reason many of us used Insteon at all.
  25. Mea culpa. I missed that part. Good to know Insteon is more helpful than in the past. And to answer your question, no. I would rather support come out as it is able to like it is now; even though, I have no near-time use for i3 products. I'm just glad UD support for Insteon is continuing. Especially considering past UDI comments saying they would never go through that again with Insteon. Clearly now, I see things have changed for the better.
