I guess even Aqara should be fine because eisy will handle Zigbee, so I should be good with the Aqara just handling Thread devices (multiple brands/generics) to eisy. At least, that seems to be right?

I have decided to start taking a limited plunge on Matter/Thread devices because this allows more flexibility when I add/replace devices than just Zigbee and Z-wave (still using Insteon but Zigbee/Z-wave and some Matter are more cost effective). I know to add Matter/Thread devices that I need a Thread Border Router but I am thoroughly confused about the choices. Specifically, I was about to pick the Aqara M100 but it states "compatible with Aqara Zigbee (** Not third-party Zigbee devices)." I don't want to lock myself in to ONLY Aqara devices in the future. Am I misunderstanding that this WILL NOT add generic Matter/Thread plugs/devices? Are there any (hopefully inexpensive) NON-PROPRIETARY Thread border routers that will work with eisy?

Am I misunderstanding all of this or are these limited to their own brand's devices? I am not an Apple person so I don't need Homekit (or whatever it's called) compatibility and I have only a couple Alexa devices that I am close to unplugging (long story..).

After an "Upgrade Packages" and a reboot, seems to have "fixed" it.

I'm having the same issue now. One of my Insteon devices no longer shows in the admin console "Main" (devices/nodes) but does show up in eisy-ui. Problem is, it has messed up all of the programs where it exists because admin console "thinks" it no longer exists. Reboots have failed to bring the device back. I am now trying "Upgrade Packages" to see if that will nudge it back into existence.

I haven't been able to check this forum since I posted the original. I checked the day of and next day and then things "seem" to have settled with no Alexa "the hub you are referring to is not available" which WAS happening almost every day. I only know because my wife is the only one in the house that uses that infernal Crapazon thing to turn on lights. But NOW I have another issue .. I'll probably start a new thread and likely file a ticket .. one of my Insteon devices has gone AWOL in the Admin Console and when I try to re-add it (assuming that eisy deleted it for some unknown reason) it errors "device already added" but still AWOL. If I use the eisy-ui, it shows as a device and I can control it but it errors out in all programs I access that have set up with it. eisy-ui also errors out when I try to get it to show the program(s).

Since I updated packages to use the new eisy-ui, I have had a problem for several weeks when I try to use "Alexa" (I mostly loathe Alexa) to turn on a light or other. "She" constantly says that the hub is OFFLINE. I can still turn things on/off locally but when I go to myISY it shows OFFLINE. I have found only a reboot via the U-D app or Admin Console fixes it for a day or two and then it happens again. Any suggestions why I am having this problem that I've never had before?

I'm starting to think that it's a problem communicating with my RemoteLinc. I try to add or remove the ZW to the button "scene" and put the RL into the set mode (long press button bottom) and I never see the blinking change which I kind of remember when I originally put this RL in service.

That's what I tried to do in the AC .. several times .. but it just won't work. I started thinking maybe it's not possible?

Maybe this is a dumb question .. I have a RemoteLinc2 (8-button) and my old Insteon ApplianceLinc has apparently died. I have replaced it with a Z-Wave plug and it is working fine for manual control from the Admin Console. I tried to add it to my "RemoteLinc Scene" button and I have no control. I put the RL into the blinking set mode several times and it just won't control it. Can I not control other devices (other than Insteon) with a RemoteLinc? Maybe that's the problem.

Probably a stupid question but I have a lot of LMS players and have used the Squeezebox players (now defunct but the server software is still very much alive and maintained) since around 2007. Is there any way for the audio player to work with LMS?

NM: I was using the wrong UserName and Password. I'm having the same problem. Just upgraded packages and rebooted the eisy and still getting "http failure response for https://eisy.local:3000/auth:401 unauthorized" error. I would like to access PG3. This is an eisy that has been in service since January 2023.

New problem: after getting back access to the AC, yesterday as I went to the desktop and clicked on "start.jnlp" I now get a popup context "How do you want to open this .jnlp file." Thus, until I resolve this issue, I can no longer access the AC. Never Mind: I must have turned off browser control in the java control panel when I was trying to resolve the previous issue. Working again.

Windoze. Was already using 391. First thing I did (before I posted) was un-/reinstall Java (I think I did it twice). Rebooted several times. Still can't tick the bottom 2 boxes.

I updated packages (had no idea it was a major release .. just was having issues .. haven't been here in a few weeks) and tried to delete all of the java crap and "cached applications and applets" and "installed applications and applets" are both greyed out (can't access the check box). I can't access eisy using start.jnlp. I assume it's related to not being able to delete java items. LATER: I was able to finally connect via Iox Finder by a power cycle of eisy and the PLM. But now, I'm curious why those two buttons in the Java delete box are greyed out. I have previously selected those when I needed to update IoX. Not sure what changed. And now, my Insteon Mini Remote 8-scene is displaying all Red exclamation marks, so I am going to try and figure that out.

Another power plug device. I bought these in 2022 but I think they're "current," FWIW. I had a couple unused in the drawer and had to replace a failed Z-wave plug today. Brand Name: Seedan Model # YT-m010 (some discussion that this is the same as "eWeLink SA-003-Zigbee" but I'm uncertain). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LD7Q81J
