No, there are no shortcuts when battery powered devices are involved. It would be great if Insteon made a PLM where you could edit it's device ID!

I think that was the initial plan. But even the latest release announcement tells us that you need a border router for Thread, and the Zmatter device is now discontinued.

Yes, there are now several Zwave and Zigbee dongles supported. See the list below. The ZMatter board (despite the name) isn't involved at all with Matter, Matter uses IPv6 through your network interface. So whatever Matter functionality you currently have will remain the same.

The 3 phases of learning a new user interface: Aw man is this really necessary? The old one works fine! Hmm, that's a neat little feature, maybe it will make learning this thing at least worthwhile. Hah wow, I can't believe I used to love that old thing!

I'm just trying to search for a device or variable through programs. Has a search function been implemented yet? The search (looking glass) only searches through the name list (the auto filter is nice). I'm not seeing any mention of this in the eisy-ui to-do list, so I'm wondering if I'm just not seeing it, or if it's just not there yet. Thanks.

The way UDI phrased it, it will remain available, but won't be updated. So as new features and functions become available in eisy-ui, there might come a point where it might become obsolete. If anyone else has another interpretation, please post it! Right now it's a great time to just get familiarized with eisy-ui. I've started using it to make minor program changes, just to develop a feel for it. Long time UDI users are feeling more of the "pain" in needing to relearn a new way of doing familiar things. The price of progress!

Good. Just keep using it normally. If anything unusual pops up, post it here.

No, you should just check things out to see if everything is running ok. Are you seeing unexpected things or anything not working?

Have you rebooted it after the upgrade? It will usually prompt you to do so, but you could do that (by clicking on Reboot) if not. The error messages appear to be failed communications with some devices.

You're already up to 6.1.1, which is the current version. I'm not sure what you're referring to by not seeing Upgrade Packages. Doesn't your Configuration screen look like this?

You get that error even if you choose the cloud option? That pop up error would normally happen after selecting the admin console option.

I'm also having issues with updating plugins. I click on update but nothing happens. Not sure what that's about. For Admin Console, have you tried clicking on "Admin Console (cloud)" in IoX Finder once you select your controller?

Have you tried what I posted just a bit earlier, using ssh? If it connexts and asks you for a password, use "admin", same for the sudo commands if prompted.

If you can log into the eisy with ssh, try this: sudo rm /var/isy/FILES/CONF/0.UCF sudo service isy restart Then try logging in again with admin / admin

How about eisy-ui? Tried just pointing your browser to http://<ip address> ? Can you connect to it with ssh?
