@Javi running 18.5 on iPhone with UDM 1.2.6 Whenever I click on a favorite and choose advanced status Configuration, the app pauses and then quits. Have restarted the iPhone, reloaded UMD.. no change. Please advise. thanks!

Are you waiting for me or am I waiting for you? No worries or hurry, just didnt want to leave you hanging if you were waiting for me. thanks.

@Javi this makes sense now.. I replaced my phone shortly after leaving my local residence. So when the app was reloaded on the new phone, it did not save the User info.... All worked fine until I returned home and it saw the Dedicated home Network and then tried to use the admin admin.. All set.. Glad we figure it out!! I have also replaced local with eisy ip and all is working as expected. Thanks! cheers!

Thanks @Javi A few clarifications from your post above "Based on the screenshot it does not appear the app lost local connection settings". YES it did. The screenshot was AFTER I had re-entered the correct username and Password and the connection resumed. " If you try to enable automatic detection but have already defined a WiFi network then the app will show an error saying you need to remove defined networks for Automatic Detection. " Yes I have my local network defined under System Network Relations. See screen shot below. "Note that it will always be more accurate and faster if you have a reserved ip and a defined WiFi network in UDM." I am not sure if I understand this. My Eisy does have a reserved IP address. Are you suggesting to replace the Local Ip Address with the reserved IP address vs http://eisy.local for better performance locally? See same screen shot below. "The likely cause for connection error is the app cannot connect to the eisy.local address. My suggestion is to add the numerical IP address in the app with an IP reservation in your router. If permissions were changed, it was the user or iOS which changed the setting, the app cannot change iOS permissions." Going back to the original post: I have been away from my local location for 2 months. Upon return, UDM immediately stopped working. I found the cause to be that the Username and Password in UDM had reset to Admin, Admin. Once I fixed that, I have had no problems, but then tried to enable the new switch which has led to the other questions. As you know, I am an experienced user. I DID NOT CHANGE the username / password, but it was reset. This is FYI only as I have everything working and based on your answer to the above will change the local address to the reserved IP. THANKS!

Have been away from my Local set up of a few months. Returned last night and immediately, UDM stopped working. No connection available was the error. Found that in the Local settings, my username and password had been reset to admin and an unknown password. Strange. Remote settings would not connect either, until I fixed this unknown change in the settings. But when tried to change the setting to "automatically detect local connection" I get the following error. Also in this process I found that under Settings on my iPhone, access to "Local Networks" under the UDM app was turned off. @Javi any idea what that error is and how to correct it so that I can have it chose local setting when available? Thanks.

@toptierweb Just to double check the obvious, some of the node servers load in as a "group". The controller is the Top level. Is there an arrow to click on the left side of the controller node to expand the "group"? If so if you click it, it will expand and show the other nodes. If this is not what you like for layout, you can right click and select Ungroup and all the sub nodes will move out to the main level.

@greensha What @Geddy suggested above is a highly underutilized ability. Having a text copy of my programs has helped me do simply program restores if something I change didnt work. It also helps sometimes for troubleshooting multiple layered programs / variables as it's sometimes easier to see them all laid out in text vs "clicking" and "clicking" back and forth. This should become a common practice. Whenever I back up my Eisy, I also save a copy of the programs. Takes 1 minute to do.

@someguy Another option depending on what you are trying to do you can have 2 versions of your email. One that is sent when the program is true and has a line in it that says " XY Program is True" And a second email that gets sent when the program is false and says "XY Program is False"

I am not sure I understand the question. Are you looking to have in your email a statement that will tell you if a program is true or false? I am not sure of any syntax for that and unfortunately do not have access to my computer to research it a simple work around is to set a new variable to a 1 in the true part of the program and set it to 0 in the false part. then your email can report that variables value, knowing that 1 is true and 0 is false

Deleted old version. Loaded new version. Found all devices in 8 minutes. Log set to Debug. Nothing showed up during node loading. Outlet nodes seem to be lacking details: AC load and initial values: Values are all showing correctly as off. Testing: Lanai Cans: on / off worked as expected. Set level is a bit quirky. I changed value to 100%, hit set level. The light was off, but then shows in the AC as 100%, but light is not on. Hit on, nothing happened. Hit off, and it goes to zero in the AC, then when I hit on again, it then turns the light on to 100%. Same behavior when I did set level to 80%. Lastly, when I hit On in the Meross app, it shows on to 32% but AC shows 80% . Actual is 32%. Just changed it back to 100% in the AC, now AC is not able to control the light at all. The PI seemed to have lost the connection, and then reconnected but is now unresponsive on that light. Tried a different light. PI is still unresponsive. Will restart it. Upon restart it is going thru the whole reconfiguration again. Restarted. Config finished. Same result on Outside plugs. Lanai Cans: On / off in AC works as expected from both the AC and the Meross app. Set level to 30% in AC. Again shows 30% in the AC, but light is off. Hit on, nothing happens. Hit off and AC went to Zero. Hit On and AC shows 32%. Meross app went to 100%. Actual lights went to 100%. Turned them off in AC. And back on. this time they went to 30% everywhere. Changed value to 100% in Meross app. Lights went to 100%, but AC did not change. Hit Query. No effect. Hit off in AC, lights went off. Hit On, lights went to 30% in AC but 100% in Meross app. Now AC is locked up again. Doing nothing. Meross app still is able to control the light. Attached is the log. Thanks! Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. I am no longer at that house, but with a camera I can see what some of the lights are physically doing. Cheers. Meross_5-2-2025_111435_AM.zip

-Nodeserver is stopped (from yesterday) -turned all meross switches off via Smartthings -opened AC -switched plug in log to Debug -started plug in @11:20am -blue messages of “Configuring XX type YY” for each device -seemed to get stuck on “configuring MB Accent type mss560x” @11:29am -waited until it loaded all devices into nodes.Seems to have stopped at around 11;32am -noticed I now have 36 nodes, correct count should be 34 devices The two extras are repeats of o FrontMain_1 and O FrontMain2. Both have only Node Name, with no Name section below it like the others. -Back to AC, 6 devices are showing some state of on, but they are all off. -Tried a Query on Doug's Rdng: nothing changed in AC. 11:39 -hit ON for same light at 11:40 in AC. Nothing happened. -Hit Off for same light at 11:41 in AC. Nothing happened. -Turned same light on in the meross app. It is on at 20% -hit off in AC. nothing changed. 11:42 -Changed brightness to 100% in Meross app, no change in AC. -Turned light off in meross app, still no change in AC, still showing it at 20%. -Switching to a different light Cabana. Hit on in Ac 11:44.. Nothing happened to light nor AC. Same with Set lelel, and off and query. -turned cabana light. on to 6% in meross app at 11:46.. no change in AC -tried turning off via AC. Nothing. Will stop here for now as clearly something isnt working. Log attached. Thanks! Meross_4-26-2025_114746_AM.zip

@toptierweb After following @Techman's advice, I usually like to past this into a browser: http://<eisyip address>:8080/admin.jnlp, substituting the eisy IP address into the string. This will put an admin.jnlp file on your desktop. Clicking this shortcut will then be a direct local link right into your Eisy, skipping the whole launcher process. Only works for local connections though. Enter your local username and password. cheers.

take a look at this post and see if this helps.

@hart2hart the easiest way to avoid the water hammer that @IndyMike mentions is to “overlap” each section of your programming ie: turn on the next valve before shutting the previous one if you look at my programs (I chose to break each one out separately vs one long program) you can see the overlap concept good luck!

ok! getting much closer!! -During loading, it seemed to have errors on all the "bulbs". The rest of the nodes came in quickly and w/o errors. -Many of the lights came in with a value when they are all OFF. see screenshot. -still have the repeating of 2 nodes, same 2 as before : O FrontMain 1 and O FrontMain 2 -played with one switch. Kitchen Lights. -It started by saying it was at 100%, but the light was off. I clicked off and then on and the light came on but the value didnt change. When I did it a second time, the light and the value changed correctly. -If I changed the level from 100 to 45% and clicked on set level, the light does not change, but the value in the AC changes. If I hit off and then on, it goes to zero and then to 45 and the light follows suit. However, when I change the light level it causes the switch to go offline. The switch comes back on line when I hit off or on. -Lastly if I change the level in the app, the AC changes correctly as does the light. But if I change the set level in the AC, and turn the light on and off, it does not go to that level, it goes to the last level chosen. And sometimes it doesn't go off, or on. very glitchy. Let me know how I can help you better. Do you want access to my PGX? and the meross app so you can see what is happening? Meross_4-23-2025_43316_PM.zip
