  1. This seems to have done the trick... it's a plug-in siren that has a built in battery backup. I pulled it from the wall outlet to force it onto battery then performed write changes and it updated all of the icons to what they were before in the admin console. The "write changes" is still there however I think it's working now. Thank you!
  2. I tried to "write changes" from the admin console first and then from the web UI and nothing happens... looks like that device is somehow stuck for some reason however it's showing the alarm state itself, so I'm not sure what's going on. I've created a support ticket, I'll post back what we find. Thanks again.
  3. Well it looks like that kick-started all of the Zigbee devices (they seem to be reading states now in the admin console) however I am still getting that same "Pending Operations" message and now see this in the web UI when I hover over the device: The Zigbee menu across the top of the Admin Console is now live and working correctly... so wondering if there's something that needs to be done and triggered now that the dongle is awake?
  4. Thanks Guy. I'm currently trying a graceful powerdown (Eisy button press x6) then a power cable pull for a minute... will report back if that jump starts anything.
  5. I'm running a first generation Eisy with the latest IoX (recent update). I have the Z-Matter Dongle where I have my Zigbee devices communicating to the Eisy system. The dongle is directly connected to the Eisy's USB port on the side, no extension cable in the mix. This setup has worked flawlessly for years through many updates and rebuilds... I've never had any issues with Zigbee devices suddenly not communicating. I performed the update as instructed by doing the Z-Wave backup first, backing up IoX, PG3, then updating and everything seemingly went just fine except Zigbee is failing to communicate. I see a lot of threads where Z-Wave and Zigbee seem to be a special case, so before I just start clicking things to try to get it to work and make matters worse, I'd like to see if anyone can help troubleshoot this. I'm getting this message when I query any one of the Zigbee devices. It seems that there is possibly one node from one device that is working (alarm siren) however all other nodes from this device seem to be blank and unavailable... I just can't remember if they were like that before or not. The alarm sensors (water alarm sensors) all seem to be failing to communicate. When I query it I get: Here's a list of these devices (my only Zigbee devices): When I log into the web UI, I get this yellow banner across the bottom left which as you can see is clearly related to the Zigbee issue(s): Also in the Java Admin Console, I'm seeing this when I click on the Zigbee menu across the top: Also, yes, it is all turned on in the configuration pane: Not sure where to go from here, if anyone could please help it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
  6. Issue #1 and question in Issue #3 remain if someone could please let me know if you have thoughts there. I cannot find anything wrong with the Zigbee device that error is referencing, so I don't know what to think there. Thanks in advance.
  7. Thank you for your help. I reviewed the info and backed everything up. I then performed the upgrade from the Java console and it seems to have gone through just fine. But I'm having issues. Issue #1: When I load the web UI, I now get this error in the lower left corner. It's clearly talking about one of my ZWave devices, so I'll have to chase that down... that's never been a problem before. Issue #2: The programs no longer control my Hue lights at all. I can manually control them through the UI but the programs do not trigger them at all. Other things with the programs trigger (insteon lights and switches) but the Hue light bulbs no longer trigger, even when I right click and say "Run Then" to manually trigger a program. I don't get this as I can manually control them from Nodes. This same exact behavior is true from the Java admin console. Well, now I'm seeing what happened. It basically abandoned the Hue nodes that have been there forever and created new Hue nodes with different IDs. It also dropped the 0-255 light value and is now running on a 0-100 range, so I had to rebuild everything... groups are all a mess too, lots of duplicate "unknown group" entries that seem to be dupes of "All Lights", had to clean that up then go back through all of my programs and re-point everything to the correct nodes/devices. That was super annoying. Issue #3: Not sure if this is by design or not but I can no longer access PG3 directly from the web URL (https://eisy.local:3000/), I get this error. Wonder if that's intended because it's now forcing me to go through the new UI, because I CAN get to it from there. Is this normal behavior?
  8. So it's been some time since I've updated my Eisy. I have the original Eisy, whatever hardware revision was current right before the newer version of it was released (bought it within a couple months of that release). Below you will see the screen shot of my versions from the Web-UI. I guess I don't know if I do "update all" or if I do one then the rest, or if some of the others should be updated BEFORE doing the OS update or vice/versa. Should I be doing this through the web version, or should I be doing this through the OG admin console? Obviously I will be backing everything up the config and PG3 config first and also doing a fresh reboot of the system before triggering any updates so I have a fresh OS bootup without months old cache running. But can someone please help me understand what the best actual update process is in my case? Thank you in advance!
  9. Yes, I realized I actually had a different compatible installation I was trying to get working and removed it all then realized all I needed to do was follow the Wiki and it would take me to the correct link which you have above. Thank you
  10. This is a long path of rabbit hole after rabbit hole. I was able to install openwebstart and even had to re load java 8 so I could grab that vm runtime environment and can now get the acutal start screen to come up but it will not actually load the admin console.
  11. Unfortunately this is what I was afraid of... so not sure what to do now. Uninstalled the old version, installed the new JDK version and everything is showing correctly when I look at the version info in terminal. I launch the start java app from IOX and this is what I get.
  12. Sorry for not clarifying, have an apple silicon mac, that's why I'm receiving the error, as my machine is eligible for the OS upgrade and it's warning me that my current Java version won't work after that upgrade. Thank you for clarifying on the above, I will remove my current version of Java and install the latest JDK and give it a whirl. Appreciate your help.
  13. @Diesel is it that simple? Just remove the old java 8 and install the newer JDK and run the IoX admin console again and it should fire up in the right environment?
  14. Same, shoot... didn't see these other posts before I posted mine. Anyway, same thing, don't know if it's as simple as installing JDK and moving on and/or what the process even is to do so.
  15. Same - didn't see this before I posted my topic about this. Same question, not sure if it's as simple as installing JDK in place of this java installation or not.
  16. Currently I'm running Java 8 on my apple silicon Macbook pro in the form of the IoX Launcher. I would assume it was installed this way from an old restore point when I bought this mac years ago. In any case, I've been using it this way for many years and just started recently receiving a message that the Intel based install of Java won't be supported on my mac with the new upcoming MacOS 27 update. That being said, I don't know the "proper" way of migrating over to the other version of Java. I know Java can be somewhat challenging at times so wanted to at least ask the group if there are any others that have done this or what the proper method is before I just start uninstalling and reinstalling a new version and hoping it works. Thanks in advance
  17. There was an old thread from December of '24 talking about the newer Philips Wiz bulbs... I searched the PG3x store and am not seeing an integration... didn't know if this was something that anyone was still working on by chance? Thanks in advance
  18. Yes, back connected. Thank you!!
  19. Same here… was working a couple hours ago just fine but now is reporting offline (app) and Alexa is reporting it can’t connect obviously.
  20. Well after many hours of screwing around with it and a support ticket later, it's still not working and the solution is to blow away the VM and start over with hoping the HA backup works after getting it back up. I've dug through the bhyve logs, enabled debugging and nothing is helping determine why it's just hanging upon boot. Nothing in the main log that would suggest why, nothing in the debug log either, just hangs and doesn't finish booting. I've decided now after 2 OS updates (when I updated to 6.0.0 initially and now with 6.0.3) and a 2/2 record or breaking this HA VM, I'm moving it off of the Eisy and will build it in a Proxmox environment and move on with my life... not worth the annoyance or headache it creates. For me there are no critical automations running, I just like the dashboards I've built and overall interface way better. Well my Eisy came back up updated, so this was not my issue... it was that the VM has somehow become unhappy, even with my NVMe drive in mirror mode which you would hope might help, but I guess not. Good luck with yours, I can only imagine.
  21. Additional info, hoping someone can help here. sudo vm list output: NAME DATASTORE LOADER CPU MEMORY VNC AUTO STATE homeassistant default uefi 2 1G - Yes [1] Locked (eisy) /etc/rc.conf file still looks like it contains the correct parameters from the 6.0.0 install. vm_enable="YES" vm_dir="zfs:storage/vms" vm_list="homeassistant"
  22. Not sure where to begin here, this has been working for a very long time and even on 6.0.0, but I just upgraded to 6.0.3 and it's not coming up. When I am SSHd into the Eisy, I can poweroff and when I start in interactive mode, it goes through what seems to be a BIOS boot type of screen/sequence then goes to a screen that says Booting Slot A (OK=1 TRY=1) and just has a flashing cursor and never moves. Not sure what to do or where to go from here.
  23. Thanks for confirming. So I went ahead and upgraded and now Home Assistant didn't start evidently... after the upgrade/reboot HA has not come back online. Now I have to chase that down, if there's any help anyone can provide on that please and thank you.
  24. Hi there, I'm currently on v6.0.0 and of course when I log into Admin Console, it tells me there's an update and to make sure to review the release notes, and to go to the Configuration Tab and click Upgrade Packages. So I'm thinking, this is fine, I'll look at the notes first before I do that... and this is where I get stuck because the direction is now conflicting. The release notes say: Please use UDMobile to upgrade the OSApplication Packagespkg eisyui must be upgraded to 0.6.2 To further confuse the situation, in UDMobile on my iPhone, when I click Settings > Firmware, it says "Firmware update available." Current Version 6.0.0 - PG3x-3.3.22 Available Version 6.0.0 There is a link to Upgrade Instructions in the mobile app that takes you to the old September '25 post for the original installation. There doesn't seem to be a way to actually perform an upgrade from the UDMobile app itself, so thinking that's my answer but want to make sure I'm not missing something as the instructions are branching off in a confusing way to me. Am I correct in coming to the conclusion that I should be going straight to the Admin Console after doing all applicable backups, then performing Upgrade Packages from there? Thanks in advance
  25. I setup the HA VM a long time ago when the tutorial was posted with the instructions and it's been up and running solid on top of my Eisy since. As I realize it's completely redundant for the most part, there were things about it I liked and had integrated like Home Kit and some other things but now it seems after the 6.0.0 upgrade, it's just gone. I've opened a ticket, but I guess maybe I'm just late to the party here... is this to be expected on an upgrade? I know it was a "major OS version upgrade" but I didn't expect it to be wiped out. If it has been, I want to make sure any remnants of it that may be left are cleaned up before reinstalling. Seems like if I have to do that, I'd likely need to set back up from scratch, not sure one of my HA backups would even work. Have others run into this and is this to be expected?
