I'd put 'tab tiles' high on my wish list. If you're setting a system of multiple remotes (e.g. separate pages (folders) for the TV, the AVR, the CD player, etc., being able to call a common 'tab' from multiple pages would be very handy. As it stands now, you have to navigate up and down the sub-folder chains to get to the common 'shared' folder (or totally replicate the common folder in each hierarchy and that's a real pain to upkeep). If you need input on a use case or requirements, I'm happy to provide. The UD Mobile interface seems pretty capable once you figure it out (albeit I'm still learning :- ); having this link or tab capability will make it better, especially for creating a system of virtual remotes.

@Javi Synchronizing did fix the 'spinning' tile issue. I then set the tile Display Node to the projector on/off program, the Display Status field to "Status", and the Mapping Values equal to "Idle False" or "Idle True" (instead of a variable = '0' and '1') produced the same end result -- a 'toggling' Command type tile with the changing colors and the "ON" and "OFF" text. I'm using the variable for some other logic so I'll stick with that approach, but good to know both ways work.

I have a folder ('Favorites' page) that I would like to call from several other folders. Is there a way to create a favorite that links to the folder? As it appears now, you can create new sub-folders (pages of favorites) under the parent folders but you have to re-create all the favorites in these new sub-folders. It would be easier (and less maintenance) to just link instead of copying. Essentially this might be a Favorite Type of "Link", i.e., one that points to another existing folder. I don't see one of this type in the "Add Favorite" list but perhaps there's another way to do something similar?

It's on iOS (iPad). In the "My Programs" list, I picked the name of the program that does the toggling on/off as the Display Node and the Display Status field says "REQUIRED!". Opening that is a blank list so I cancelled, and pressed "SAVE" back on the Edit Favorite screen. It returns to my Favorite page (folder) but the 'Projector' favorite now has a spinning wheel over it (that just keeps spinning forever). It's not really a problem though, as I like my int variable approach, it's a nice way to create a toggle button that not only changes color, but change the Status value to be either 'ON' or 'OFF' based on the variable. So now the along with changing the icon color red or green, the favorite reads "Projector ON" or "Projector OFF" (depending on the variable value). I don't know if there's another way to change the favorite text, but this worked pretty well. Here's what the favorite looks like (these are two images of one favorite tile that flips back and forth depending on the projector status): This 'ON' button toggles to OFF when pressed Normally, the variable value would be where the "ON" and "OFF" text are, but by using the "Set Formatted Value to" in "Mapped Values", one can make this change between "ON" and "OFF". Maybe there's an easier way to do this, but seems to work well.

Ah, that's why Advanced Config is visible in the menu sometimes, and not others. I've created a toggling routine with the Command type Favorite set to a run a 'Run if' program (if on, then turn off; else on). The object controlled is a projector turned on/off by Network Resources, so there isn't a more traditional display node (like an Insteon switch). I tried setting the display node as the program itself but it just spins until I remove the Display Node. However, it did work to set the Display Node to a variable that is set to '0' or '1' by the program turning the projector on/off. The icon color now changes based on the value of the variable (colors set in 'Mapped Values' screen). I also set the "Formatted Value" in Mapped Values to show "On" or "Off" (vs displaying a '0' or '1'). I'm also going to implement the icon color change with some of the favorites that are mapped to Insteon switches so, thanks, this will be a nice feature.

Here is the link -- I'm trying to create a toggle button that changes color (Question 2 & 3 in the post) Per your updated instructions, is that: Click the tile's menu (three dots), then select "Edit Favorite" and then...? I don't see the "Advanced Config" option (but know I have before

Trying to get into "Configure Advanced Status..." per this method posted by @Javi 'Place Favorites Screen in Edit mode, Click the Favorite Tile, Select "Configure Advanced Status Color/Value/Icon Configuration"'. However, when I do this, clicking the Favorite tile only executes it. The screen shows the blue "Disable Edit Mode" bar at the bottom so I believe I'm in Edit mode, and I've tried restarting the app. Clicking the 'three dots' on the tile to enter edit mode doesn't bring up the "Configure Advanced Status" option. I know I've seen this option before, what am I doing wrong?

I tried the solution above (uninstall existing 'beta' version and reinstall from production store in the same slot). Overall, it worked (now on 2023.1.9 [Production]), although I had a bit of weird behavior (one parameter (device) not populating with their IR 'buttons' but 'borrowing' from other parameters). But I've seen this before and usually re-pasting, re-starting the IoX and UD Admin screen a few times gets everything in sync. Thanks.

Your corrected database worked, I was now able to upgrade the iTach-IR server. However, it still shows as "Beta" but the version is 2023.1.9 (without zeros) Per the sending of Global Cache commands with some erroring out, it's a wired (not wireless) IP2IR, and I tried connecting to it via a web browser and it was very sluggish. A power off/on reboot seems to have fixed that, at least for now, and I am able to send IR commands through the UD Node Server to the target devices.

When I press the described "Update" button under "Purchase" and "Available purchase/install options", nothing happens (no dropdown or action other than the button going inverse to show I clicked it. I tried this button when accessing it via menus: "Plugins Store" and "Purchases" as well as under the "Dashboard > iTach-IR(1) screen > Update button" -- always the same result, just an empty click. It says I'm on PG3x Version 3.2.20 and IoX version 5.8.0. Ideas?

I'm starting to work with the iTach-IR Node Server again (after not using it for the last year) and am getting some inconsistent operation -- sometimes a Global Cache code is passed successfully and works, sometimes an "Unknown Error (see Logs)" appears (and don't see much explanation in the node server log). I noticed I am on version 2023.01.09 [Beta] and it says there is a new 2023.1.9 version. Not sure if the update will solve the problem, but clicking the "Update" button (on two different pages) does not seem to update the Node Server. How do I force the update?

Thanks @Javi, I was able to connect with just a local connection and still use the iTach-IR Node Server I set up. I see the Portal license is reasonably priced so I might go ahead and get that as well.

I'm receiving a "System Closed" error when I open up UDM and it suggests trying a reboot (did that) but still receive the message. The eisy box appears to be working normal and I can login and control lights from the Admin Console. I can still open the Favorites section and the devices/buttons appear but clicking one returns an "Access license is expired." I recently migrated from a ISY994 that I had for many years, and it mentioned "Portal licenses" and a 30-day trial. Is this something to pay for now? I've bought modules in the past (e.g. Network Resources). I looked in my profile under the portal but can't find anything like "Buy now" or details. Or is there possibly another problem with the system?

Good to know on the Favorites, especially if I happen to notice a previous Favorite button missing. For the Sherwood receiver that I'm creating favorites, I have noticed that some (like Power On/Off) are working, while others (like Volume control/mute) are not. I figured this may have been because the "Sherwood" codes I downloaded from the GC Control Tower, were not for the same unit that I had (usually the vendor codes are common across a line, but I suppose not always). Maybe there was a bad code in there? I'll have to do more research as I do have the codes for my Sherwood recorded from a previous iLearn session that I did for my iRule controls. Thanks!

UPDATE: I went into Polygon and found "sherwd" in a previous test node server "iTach-IR(4)". I deleted the "sherwd" line/node and nothing changed (message-wise) but when I deleted the whole "iTach-IR(4)" node and then synced, I received the message that I received yesterday about the values to be removed. So I assume the "iTach-IR(4)" node deletion triggered the 99 missing values this time (not sure what did yesterday) and the "sherwd-NAME" in iTach-IR(4) was part of the problem. After backup, I selected the "Remove Unused Values" and synced. There was still a sync error: "1. could not match ND paramName error" but there was another old/test Node Server in Polygon, "iTach-IR(3)", and after deleting that and syncing a couple times, all the errors had cleared. So it appears those messages are 'normal' if there are unused things, or something has been deleted and changed. Good housekeeping rewarded (hopefully).
