FYI: restoring the backup did the trick so that at least EISY is working again.

Yes And since I disconnected my EISY this time (as opposed to other times in the past), it's UUID changed. Now nothing is working on the EISY. Do I have to re-recognize all of my devices (or perhaps just restore my backup)?

Thank you for your suggestion. It led to new information which is in itself baffling. My router does not recognize the Polisy at all, even though the LED lights on the back of the Polisy indicate that there is network communication going on. (The EISY is not connected.) Is it possible that my Polisy died a quiet death during the time it was not in use? I have rebooted everything twice now, my router, Polisy, my computer.

In answer to your question, I switched from Polisy to EISY somewhere around December 20. At that time they were running the same firmware and the same data file. I don't think there has been a change in the firmware in the meantime, but I'm not sure. The data file in the EISY has changed and the Polisy has not been used since then. If I rephrase your suggestion as follows: "If so, remove power from the PLM and the eisy, wait about 15 seconds then connect the PLM to the Polisy, power up the PLM, wait 15 seconds then power up the Polisy", that is exactly what I tried and it did not work. Again, my ISY/IoX finder would not recognize the Polisy.

How can I temporarily revert back to Polisy from EISY? I am using the same Power Linc Modem, model 2413S, for both Polisy and EISY, with the appropriate adapter for EISY. I attempted to switch back by disconnecting the EISY, connecting the Polisy to the PLM, and then starting up the Polisy, but my ISY/IoX finder would not recognize the Polisy. (EISY is now reconnected and is properly recognized.)

Incidentally, one reason I care about the path for beginners is the desire to ensure that UD is sufficiently successful that it sticks around for a long time to come, and continues to make the kind of advances we have seen to date. (Of course, one might not want it to be so successful that it gets bought out by some giant corporation or goes public. Sorry, Michael.)

I definitely would not want a dumbed down version in terms of capabilities. I don't think there has to be a trade-off between that and easing the path for beginners.

I totally agree, and apparently, hopefully, that is what UD is in the process of doing.

In the posts on the announcement regarding this (to which I am unable to reply despite being logged in), it says that the new administrative console will be web-based. Will it, hopefully, also be available locally for those instances where Internet communication is down or poor? Also, will we be able to continue using the existing administrative console until the new one is fully compatible with Z-Wave?

Got it. Thanks. You are right, the data at the URL does match what I'm seeing. And since you and I are seeing the same thing at our different locations (this afternoon it is still 20% for today followed by all zeros), and since it doesn't match my other weather data, it sounds like OpenWeatherMap itself is having a problem. Thank you for your time, attention, and assistance.

Interesting, today my Administrative Console is showing the same predictions as yours: 20% today followed by 0% for the remaining days. I am not seeing a URL buried in my debug log, but I am getting some seemingly strange lines including the following: 2024-07-13 14:24:40.933 Thread-2 udi_interface WARNING owm:parameterHandler: Please enter a valid API key 2024-07-13 14:24:40.936 Thread-2 udi_interface WARNING owm:parameterHandler: Please enter a valid location 2024-07-13 14:25:17.521 Thread-6 udi_interface.interface WARNING interface:db_getNodeDrivers: forecast_0 not found in database. 2024-07-13 14:25:19.531 Thread-6 udi_interface.interface WARNING interface:db_getNodeDrivers: forecast_1 not found in database. 2024-07-13 14:25:21.510 Thread-4 udi_interface.interface WARNING interface:db_getNodeDrivers: forecast_2 not found in database. 2024-07-13 14:25:21.543 Thread-6 udi_interface.interface WARNING interface:db_getNodeDrivers: forecast_3 not found in database. 2024-07-13 14:25:23.515 Thread-4 udi_interface.interface WARNING interface:db_getNodeDrivers: forecast_4 not found in database. 2024-07-13 14:25:23.564 Thread-6 udi_interface.interface WARNING interface:db_getNodeDrivers: forecast_5 not found in database. My full debug log is attached. debug.log

Interestingly, after installing 4.0.2 my chance of rain today is now 18%, which has a certain ring to it (comparing to the 1800% I received under 4.0.1). My two weather channels are both predicting about 10%. And, again, the remaining days in my predictions are all zero compared to Weather Channel and Weather Underground predictions ranging from 5% to 10% over the next six days.

Perhaps OpenWeatherMap has changed something. They used to match reasonably closely to the percentages I got from The Weather Channel and Weather Underground. Anyway, thank you for checking.

Installed 4.0.1. Chance of rain on Forecast0 (today) is now 1800%. All days thereafter are 0%.
