if you did the full update command posted earlier in this thread (sudo pkg upgrade udx isy eisyui pg3x) your version of FreeBSD should be 14.3. Don't forget that you might need to enable the repository every time from now on (sudo repo.util prod) for upgrades to work. Yes, you should be able to point your browser the the ip address and get a login prompt, asking for your UDI account login.

For my experience, I've been running on the latest production version (6.1.1) just fine on my eisy. I try the beta stuff on a Polisy that I use for testing.

You could try redoing the interview on the one with less nodes and see if anything gets added. Right click on the device and do Z-wave -> Synchronize -> Update with Interview

Yes, that default of last action is a big time saver when programming. Yes, lots of clicks are needed when programming, which is annoying. Also, it would be nice if the variable list defaulted to state variables instead of integer. I use state variables much more often.

The number of device nodes can vary with the specific models and firmware versions of the device. I have several Weiser Smartcode locks. Some are Smartcode 10 (500 chip set) and Smartcode 620 (700 chip set), there are more nodes for the Smartcode 620.

Yes, it actually upgrades things during the reboot. It's not automatic, you need to tell it to reboot. Do : sudo reboot Eisyui does install and work on a Polisy. That's what I'm using to test out these new versions (I have three Polisys that I use for testing). Maybe eisyui couldn't upgrade because it wasn't there to begin with, coming from 5.9.1. Do the reboot, and then try the eisyui pkg upgrade again after. You might need to use "pkg install eisyui" instead of "pkg upgrade eisyui"

Failure is not an option! 😄 This is also a golden opportunity to add new functionality, and some of these new features are already showing up.

More like later today! @Techman just alerted me to a new PG3x update 3.4.24. I installed it and it fixed my plugin update issue. Thanks to UDI for the quick fix!

I just came across this, and updated to 1.3.7. But I still cannot update a plugin. It just doesn't do anything when I click on update.

Is that 6.1.2_6 ?

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?

One thing that often comes up is iffy upgrades that leave the user clueless as if it worked or not, or tried at all. There needs to be some kind of progress indicator that could indicate what happening. It could be a box indicating what is being done at various steps, such as "downloading packages" "updating files" "preparing for reboot" etc. This way, users could report what they saw when problems occur. Update packages on a Polisy should pop up a window saying that updates are no longer supported. It does in the log files, so why not let the user know, instead of showing nothing.

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
