Can't create or modify existing favorites
Same issue here Javi. And it affected favorites already in use. Will have to go and change them all again when fixed.

Russound NS - MCA series?
The program you are referencing is a nighttime "cleanup" program to reset everything for the next day, so I used 5 seconds just to be safe as timing is irrelavant at 4am. However in my actual programs I use 1 second and it works fine as you can see below For turning it on, yes there can be a slight delay, but it's not really noticeable. And for turning it OFF, I use Alexa to Mute the music source (Alexa music dot line out to Russound) so that the music stops immediately, and then I take my time to turn off the zones. See second program below I also use a Remote Link to change the volume in the garage.. also works great. See third program. Overall, this is a GREAT NS with eh MCA-88.. have had no problems with it. TURN ON/OFF PROGRAM If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Bedroom Sound' Zone On Wait 1 second Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Kitchen Sound' Zone On Wait 1 second Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Laundry Room Sound' Zone On Wait 1 second Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Sunroom Sound' Zone On Else Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Bedroom Sound' Zone Off Wait 5 seconds Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Deck Sound' Zone Off Wait 5 seconds Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Game Room Sound' Zone Off Wait 5 seconds Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Kitchen Sound' Zone Off Wait 5 seconds Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Laundry Room Sound' Zone Off Wait 5 seconds Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Screened Porch Sound' Zone Off Wait 5 seconds Set 'RussoundCtl_1 / Sunroom Sound' Zone Off GARAGE MUSIC TURN ON.

System Busy issue
Try opening up the Tools / Diagnostics / Event Viewer .. then change the level to 3. Device communication events. Takle a look at what is going on.. Its there a switch that is stuck communicating with the ISY? Is there a program that seems to be in. a loop. ? Also, click on programs, Summary and see if you have a program(s) that are running in a loop for some reason. Recently I had a switch go "bad" and was bombarding the isy with signals and causing the isy to ultimately crash.. I air gapped the switch and then let the isy settle down.. it took it about an hour to clear itself up from all the bad messages from the switch.

EISY Upgrade....What a PITA
See screen shots.. do you have these options for your Yale locks? Control is accessed differently in the new system vs old.
-
Timing issues?
I use a similar approach in certain places but have always used a fast on or off when on or off as the logic. ie: IF x switch is status off and X switch is controlled fast off THEN. Can also be done in the on mode: on then fast on. Your trigger light will change twice: once with the off, and then changed to the scene of the other lights to ON. (or vice versus --> full on, then to the level of the scene) this might eliminate your issue if you were to change your "trigger" a little bit.

Unable to "Find/Replace" many programs after migrating from 994i to eisy with Matters+ dongle
good question.. I dont remember.. will try again some other day.

Unable to "Find/Replace" many programs after migrating from 994i to eisy with Matters+ dongle
I had the same results.. search.. choose programs.. a dropdown appears with all your programs... select one and hit find... it either doesn't find it, or goes to a completely different program.. I too have never used this part of the search but the behavior is definitely wrong.

iAquaLink aux randomly turning on
Could it be coming from the web interface for iAqualink... an old program that is running?

Unable to "Find/Replace" many programs after migrating from 994i to eisy with Matters+ dongle
Curiously I tried mine randomly on various programs. Very strange results: either did nothing,60% or found the wrong program 30%, or found the right one 10% Please report back after talking with UDI.. thanks.

Light bulb native to EISY
If it's a wifi device, then no, not natively. And it doesn't look like anyone has built a Plug in for EVO yet either.

Elk Armed Away – Need to turn on devices or programs – I can’t find a way to accomplish this
@zorax2 Sort of.. If the elk is armed away, then that sets a variable RANDOM =1, which enables the folder that the program above is located in. That program runs the THEN beginning every day at sunset, and then with the AND in the IF, it will stop and run the ELSE at whichever time happens first: 11:47pm or sunset plus 4 hours. We are in northern Michigan so sunset can happen at 5 pm or 1030pm!! The ELSE runs all night long , stopping 7 hours later.. When my elk is disarmed, the RANDOM variable gets set back to 0

Elk Armed Away – Need to turn on devices or programs – I can’t find a way to accomplish this
just to be clear, the random program is in a folder that is only enabled when my elk is armed away via a tracking variable.

Favorites icon colors and function
For toggling, I have been using programs where the set up is a Command favorite with the program as the command and the display is the RATGDO status. This way, whenever I touch the favorite it will run the IF of the program.. If I want to customize the action.

Light bulb native to EISY
Have you tried do it the other way around? Having the Eisy change a variable that is a "motion sensor" in Alexa that then triggers the bulb to come on or off via two routines? I do this with a garage light and it seems to work pretty well.

Again "Sorry the hub ... is connected to is not responding, please check the network connection..."
@NinjaNun Are these are AMAZON bulbs, or Philipps? If amazon, go to the app, find them under devices... are they there? are they showing as "unresponsive"? if so you can probably delete them, and then re-add them to the amazon app. If they are Phillips Hue bulbs, then you need to do the same thing using the Phillips app. If they are in there and working (ie you can control them), then you link between Phillips and your Alexa account needs to be refreshed.. In the Alexa app, disable / delete the Phillips Hue "Skill" and then re-add it, following the directions to link your hue account / hub to the Alexa app. Hope that works for you. And yes, this forum is primarily geared for people using Universal Device's home automation controllers.

Sunrise off 1 hour this morning
Just checked my Polisy running 5.8.0 No problems: Time is right, sunrise is right and sunset is right. not sure if it "cleared itself" but all is good on my system

New Elk user, can't get ISY to control Elk
this is a key that is often overlooked..Elk can only have one connection to it at a time. "you must have the RP2 software "disconnected" for PG3(s) to connect to it. "

Problem using to from time.
I usually put my time constraints first and then use (AND) for the rest of the statement. Theoretically it shouldn't make a difference, but it makes it much easier to read, but maybe it does make a difference that I am not aware of. Example: From 3:00:00AM To 2:00:00PM (same day) and (Alarm / INTERIOR / LIVING ROOM MOTION' is switched Open And ( 'Alarm / DMP' System Alarm State is Armed Stay Or 'Alarm / DMP' System Alarm State is Armed Sleep ) ) See if that triggers as expected.

Google Home, Programs from new EISY
I don't use GH, but I use Alexa.. it's the same in Alexa.. a program in ISY transfers over as a scene in Alexa terms. You run the THEN by turning ON the device and the ELSE by turning off the device. For example below.. "Alexa turn on the Air vent" and the THEN for my program Air Vent Alexa, runs. Notice that the isy category is program, while the Alexa category is scene.

Favorites screen not properly updated
Have you done a sync lately from the settings in UDMobile. I have found that if I have made changes in the AC, sometimes it can be slow to populate until I do a sync.

How to detect Ecobee Vacation Mode from inside EISY programming
AS always, there are many different approaches to things. My ecobee is in a home that I use, rent and can be vacant. While I am sure the ecobee can do all these modes, I get tired of learning new systems and relying on me doing something separate / in addition to all the other things I have to do to "set" the whole home in the mode it needs to be in when I leave it, or a renter leaves it etc. The other home with two thermostats are not ecobees, but older Honeywells with Zwave. No way to link them natively, so the isy is perfect, and because one is much smaller and upstairs, it requires different offsets to the main level one so as to not do "all the work" or vice versa. Again, ISY manages that really well.

How to detect Ecobee Vacation Mode from inside EISY programming
I often get caught up in the "battle of controllers" : ISY, Alexa, Ecobee etc.. As a result, whenever possible I default to using the ISY for control. So in both of my houses, even though I have "smart" thermostats, I basically never touch them and let the ISY do all the temp management. When either home is in "Vacation" mode, then EVERYTHING to do with the house being vacant gets managed on one controller.. the isy --=> security, temperature, water pump, random lights at night, etc. This has helped to keep my sanity around trying to remember which controller is doing what. A few other temp related examples of isy vs thermostat control: -if I tell Alexa to set the thermostat at house 1 to set the AC temp to anything above 80, isy takes over and runs the fan 30 out of 60m minutes, and holds indefinitely the tempt 85.. But as soon as I ask Alexa to set the temp to anything below 80, isy takes over and adjusts the temperature to the schedule I like which includes 4 or 5 adjustments between 11pm and 8am to keep the house circulating and cooling. -at house 2, I have two thermostats. if I tell Alexa a temp for either one, it will adjust the other one automatically to be in sync. (upstairs / downstairs). and depending on the outside temp it will adjust them either plus 1, even of minus 1 as I have noticed they run best this way at certain temps. -using seasonal input, temps and schedules and modes adjust automatically. All of this would be a nightmare to do on a thermostat. cheers!

Remote access to PGX
@Javi Javi, see screen shots of when I click on Ring and ecobee.. and when I click on ELK--> I get nothing.. just a blank screen with a spinning wheel. I have restarted my iPhone with same result. Thoughts? thanks. All other ~10 PI are working as expected.
