Also unable to download either system or error log ("Subscriber didn't reply to event: 1 [27]"). I tried both the applet and application, ssl and no ssl. This is on a Mac running OS X Lion. -Jim

Received an 8 scene unit today. Big improvement over the clunky first generation RemoteLincs. Has anyone come up with a good way to label the buttons?

Hi Michel, As others have already noted, I'm also seeing a lot of weatherbug errors with 3.1.5. FWIW, my ISY-99i completely locked up (unresponsive to events or pings) after the following sequence of errors: Wed 2011/08/03 12:44:41 AM System -140005 CLI-WBug Wed 2011/08/03 12:54:35 AM System -5012 n/a Wed 2011/08/03 01:17:12 AM System -5006 n/a Wed 2011/08/03 01:19:12 AM System -5012 n/a Wed 2011/08/03 01:49:02 AM System -5012 n/a Wed 2011/08/03 02:11:12 AM System -5006 n/a Wed 2011/08/03 02:13:02 AM System -5012 n/a Wed 2011/08/03 02:40:59 AM System -5006 n/a Cheers, -Jim

Hi Michel, I'm also having a problem with notifications in 3.1.5. I'm seeing -50001 -13 and -50001 -16 errors in the log. When I click the test button from admin console, the error messages vary: "Data Timed Out", "Password Not Accepted", "Body Timed Out". This is using a gmail account that was previously stable (smtp.gmail.com, port 587, TLS, 5000 ms timeout). My network setup is similar to Candide's; the ISY is connected to a Verizon FiOS Actiontec router via a gigabit switch. However, notifications work fine if I use a .mac account instead (smtp.me.com, port 587, no TLS, 5000 ms timeout). Thanks, -Jim

I'm observing the same behavior that wrj0 reports (and I wholeheartedly agree with his assessment of UDI's amazing responsiveness). The value displayed in programs is one tenth the value that is actually being evaluated. My system is also configured for Fahrenheit units. -Jim

Michel,After upgrading to 3.1.4, my test values for Rain Today parameters changed by value/=10. For example my code in 3.1.3 was: If Module 'Climate' Rain Today >= 0.2 " And Module 'Climate' Rain Today < 0.5 " But after the upgrade to 3.1.4 the values were changed to 0.02 and 0.05 respectively. Yesterday, we finally had some rain, and Weatherbug was reporting 0.32†rain, which agreed with my weather station. However my code to test for 0.2†<= Rain Today < 0.5†evaluated false, but I found testing 0.02†<= Rain Today < 0.05†evaluated true with the actual Rain Today of 0.32â€. Please advise. Thanks. Michel: Same issue here after upgrading to 3.1.4. Irrigation module is also installed on this system. -Jim

Michel: All three apply to my configuration, but the apparent culprit is #3 (I have an ActionTec router). I disabled Internet access and reinstalled 2.8.12. The system is stable now and works fine with MobiLinc and other REST applications. Thanks, -Jim

Firmware 2.8.12 was also unstable for me. After upgrading, I got into the admin console once and attempted to query all devices. The console hung mid-query, reporting socket and xml parse errors. After that incident, the ISY was completely hosed. I could not telnet to it and any attempt to load the admin console (locally or from http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.8.12/admin.jnlp) caused the network interface to shut down, i.e., it stopped responding to pings. I reset the ISY several times, both with and without the PLM attached, but could never even telnet to it. The ISY accepted a connection but never got to requesting authentication. I rebooted the ISY several times and ran a continuous ping. It failed to return packets as soon as I tried to load admin console. After several more reset attempts (the successful one using the reset button instead of a power cycle), I finally got to the point where I could reload firmware 2.8.11 and the system is stable again. Note that I did NOT do a restore after reloading 2.8.11 to get the system stable again. -Jim

Exactly the same outcome on a Mac; I had to apply the update twice.

Rubin, Would you mind posting a link to the updated script? The inline code is somehow getting mangled when I copy/paste from your post. Thanks, -Jim

Rubin, This is very cool! Thanks for contributing the very useful script. It also runs fine on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (however, the pQuery module, which is not not part of the OS X Perl distribution, also needs to be installed). One minor bug: the script won't work out of the box if the ISY username has been changed from the default of "admin" because there is no option to specify username on the command line. This is easily fixed by editing the #Defaults section of the script. Cheers, -Jim

Hi Michel, Port 25 is not available to us FiOS users (Verizon blocks it). Here are my observations from testing me.com on port 587 and timeout of 5000 set: 1. Test button on configuration panel works 100% of the time 2. Notifications that are triggered by programs don't work reliably 3. No error is written to the system or error log I can't speak for all users, but this bug has very low priority for me since a free gmail account gets the job done just fine. And thanks again for adding custom notifications; this is a great feature. Cheers, -Jim

One more issue in 2.8.7. Notifications are not working reliably on a mail server that does not require TLS encryption (smtp.me.com). Gmail, which requires TLS, works reliably. This is just the opposite of the bug we had in 2.8.6 The Test button on the configuration panel works every time with either server. Cheers, -Jim

Customizable notifications is a fabulous new feature. Thanks! One minor bug: if the message body of custom notification is blank, the notification fails and logs a -50001 SMTP SERVER FAILURE error. Cheers, -Jim

Hi Michel, I reverted to firmware 2.8.3 and retested. These settings work in 2.8.3 but do not work in 2.8.6. Mail providers that do not require TLS encryption work with either version. Cheers, -Jim
