I put away my old ISY994i, but after digging it out again I see that it just performs a "Query" command on the target of my entire ISY, which I presume means it just checks the status of every Insteon device on my system. So I fixed it on my eisy; I guess the only other question is if this program is even really necessary anymore?

I migrated from an ISY994i to my new eisy; all seems to be working fine. However, when I look at my programs, the original "Query All" program that came with my ISY994i has under Activity, "- Not Loaded -" and Status "Out of Memory". The program code itself has been replaced with a comment that says: "Warning: Unrecognized Action (program may not run) <cmd NODE="00:21:b9:xx:xx:xx" ID="QUERY"/> And the NODE= mac address is the mac of my old ISY994i. How do I fix this?

I can confirm this worked for me. I was replacing an ISY994i with a new eisy and I did the above steps. I ssh'd into the Home Assistant server, cd /config/.ssh/storage and then used "vi" to edit the 3 files using the search/replace feature. If you want to make sure you've found everything, you can do a "grep" on the mac address of your old ISY994i and IP address to confirm you didn't miss anything. Since I am running Home Assistant OS via VirtualBox, there wasn't a way for me to stop Home Assistant, so I did the edits while it was running, then rebooted the Home Assistant box after editing the files; it worked just fine.

It appears User1-9 in the File menu-> Set Userid/Password do not currently work. (Or nobody I know can figure it out!) I don't need these users to actually have different permissions or abilities than the admin user; I'd just like to have a separate username and password I can use for the new UD Mobile iPhone app that came out. This way, if my phone gets compromised, I can just change the password the UD Mobile app is using and not have to change my admin password.

Thanks for confirming that I wasn't the only one wondering! :)

I realize this is a year-old thread, but I was actually wondering about a related question - does this mean the menu referenced here: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu "Set Userid/Password" - that the other User ID #1 through User ID #9 do not work at all? I'm not interested in separating permissions; I was just hoping to have a different username and password that I could input into the UD Mobile app. That way if I were to lose my phone, I only have to change the password to a single User ID and not have to change my admin password, which is used elsewhere.

Okay, I realized I had moved my ISY994i to a non-standard port, *and* I was trying to connect with a non-admin user. So it works now, but connecting with the "admin" user. Is there some way I can configure this with one of the other users? EDIT: I'll start a new thread about using this with a non-admin user. Thanks for your quick response!

Hi! I just downloaded the UD Mobile for iOS app after seeing the email from Universal Device News. I'm having trouble setting up my ISY994i in the app. I'm trying to do a local connection; I don't have Polisy and I'd rather not use a portal account; this will be accessed exclusively over a local connection. I hit the Settings button in the lower right corner, tapped the "eyeball" to the right of Advanced Settings, and then put the non-https URL into the field called "Local IP Address", the same one that I use to access things using the web browser of this same phone. I left Local Port blank, and then entered the username and password for my ISY. I then get the popup that says: Error - Attempting Initial Connection - 1. Error Domain = Code=8 "(null)". Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

I'm finally pleased to report that my Inovelli LZW30 On-Off Switch (Black Series) finally works on this version. The "Writing updates to device" icon no longer shows after a few days, and the device added without incident, although it did still complain that it could not "securely" add the device, even though the device was added. The only other thing is occasionally I login to the Admin console and I get a message that the ISY could not contact the switch. I have no idea why it says that, since I can reach it via the web console and my ISY programs seem to have no issue turning the switch on or off. I am running firmware version 1.22, which is a beta release that for some reason I can't seem to find on their website right now. I loaded this one in order to set Parameter 51 to "0" which reduces the time from switching on from the default 700ms delay.

That sounds great, thanks!

Aha, I see - I presume the reason the Admin Console can't handle this is because it doesn't do http auth? One other options I was considering was placing my ISY-99i behind my own SSL proxy like Pound, and setting up my own http authentication such as through haproxy - I actually tried this, but that explains why I couldn't get the Admin Console to work (the normal webpages worked fine). I actually do have a suitable work-around right now; I simply block all access through my firewall and connect to my ISY-99i using an ssh tunnel. It's not ideal because it means I can only access it through a computer that has ssh setup, and I really like using my android phone web browser to check in on things. I guess for now protecting INDEX.HTM is probably the simplest thing. Does that require a firmware update, or is there a way I can tweak the settings myself?

Hi! Just a secure paranoia question: I noticed that the main /WEB/INDEX.HTM page is *not* http authenticated. The subsequent pages it calls is, but the base level page, if exposed to the internet, exposes that this port hosts the ISY-99i. I would like to know if it's possible to configure the ISY-99i to make sure that even *this* main page (and ideally, even the redirect page in / that points to /WEB/INDEX.HTM) can be password protected to keep people who are snooping for these devices on the internet from attempting more attacks. We don't know of any security exploits now, but I worry that someone may use this information to figure out that I have this device and then narrow their attacking methods.

That is a *much* better way, thanks LeeG! It works perfectly!

Hi everyone! Now that I have a nicely functioning setup, I started thinking of ways to get my ISY-99 to replace a very valuable device; my SunUp SunRizr. This device turns on my bedroom lights very slowly over a 40 minute period in the morning; I set it to do this from 6:00 am until 6:40 am, and by 6:40 am the lights are on full brightness. It does this over 1024 tiny little brightness steps, but I'm thinking perhaps I can get my ISY-99i to send increasing brightness signals to my lamp controller over 1% increments and it will be close enough. Has anyone done this efficiently? I started writing a program to do this, but unforunately it looks like the ISY-99i programming language will not let me set a variable as the brightness level; I may need to write 100 little programs that set the brightness at each level from 1 to 100, then write a wrapper program that calls each one and waits 21 seconds each between calls. Is there a better way?

Thanks for all your help. I decided to use a program instead of a variable since I'm not on V3 yet, and it seems to do the trick. Thanks for your help!
