The new time format for the Programs pane of the web UI, introduced in beta 2.6.4, is great because it shows the complete time, including seconds. However, it presents a minor issue for iPhone, which interprets the first ten characters the date-time string as a phone number and presents it as a hyperlink. If the user accidentally clicks he hyperlink, iPhone offers to initiate a phone call. Any possibility of adding this tag in the HEAD section of the page? This turns off automatic phone number detection and would improve the presentation of the web UI on iPhone without having any negative effect on other browsers. -Jim

Retested iPhone with firmware 2.6.4. Confirming no more timeout issues. -Jim

Clarence - I don't know if you noticed the previous post, but the 2.6.4 firmware was just updated and released again to address a Java compatibility issue affecting Macs. -Jim

Except it happens every time on this Mac, even after a fresh restart. It looks like 2.6.4 might be using a new Java method? Java Console is reporting: Java Plug-in 1.5.0 Using JRE version 1.5.0_13 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM User home directory = /Users/jim java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.net.NetworkInterface.isUp()Z at com.universaldevices.upnp.UDControlPoint.isNetworkUp(Unknown Source) at com.universaldevices.ui.UPnPClientApplet.init(Unknown Source) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:380) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613) Michel - No need for apologize for bugs in a beta release; glad to help catch one. Admin console loads fine now. -Jim

After installing 2.6.4, I can't launch the admin console on my Mac. The error is: Applet com.universaldevices.client.ui.UDCClientApplet notinited I tried clearing the browser and Java cache (through both the control panel and manually deleting files), emptying trash, and restarting. Same symptom on the test server at http://www.universal-devices.com/27/ Not seeing this issue on a Windows PC. Anybody else try running 2.6.4 on a Mac? -Jim UPDATE: I tried another Mac and the admin console opens fine. Does not appear to be an issue with the ISY software.

I observed the following on my iPhone: 1. When connected to the local LAN via wifi, I can navigate to the device page for any device using HTTP and get the device status, but the change status buttons ("On", Off", "Dim", etc.) do not work. The HTTP response times out. 2. HTTP interface also does not work via an Internet connection (with port 80 open on the firewall). But who wants to open their private network to insecure traffic anyway? 3. HTTPS interface works fine when iPhone is connected to the LAN via wifi. 4. HTTPS interface does not work over the Internet until a self signed SSL certificate is installed on the ISY. With the default certificate, iPhone gives the user an "invalid certificate" warning. Even if you click the Continue button to ignore the warning, iPhone will give a "network connection lost" error. If you install a valid self-signed certificate, the warning goes away and the interface works perfectly. Since the HTML UI is so lightweight anyway, I don't notice any performance difference between connecting over the LAN or Internet, so I just bookmarked the public address and access my ISY from there, whether I'm in my house or out. -Jim
