I'll try that, but I am pretty sure that is the one I selected. From Ratdgo page: Click here to launch the ratgdo ESP Web Tools flasher Choose the version you wish to install ratgdo - includes WiFi configuration through ESP Tools. After flashing the firmware, ESP tools will ask you for your WiFi credentials. After ratgdo connects to your network, you will be given the option to Visit Device so you can configure the MQTT settings. I visit the page, but do not see where to configure the MQTT settings. Will try again.

One further update: I just refreshed one of the cards using windows. Same result. After the flash, this is the screen I get before the screen I posted above. Then I click on Visit Device and I get the above screen. The reason I havent installed it yet to see if the screen changes, is that these are going in a pole barn and it's only 15 degrees here! So I want to minimize my time in the cold! Thanks.

Ok. sorry for the long string. This is where I am at: I have two RATDGO devices Both flashed successfully to where I can "see" the devices at Http://<ratdgo IP>. What I see is attached. The option on the last page of the install was "view" device, not configure There is NO PLACE on the screen to make any changes. It is more of an "operating" screen where I can push buttons and things will happen ratgdov2.5i ca0567.pdf I do have parallels / windows on my Mac and can try to flash them again via that route? Both devices do the exact same thing. So that is why I am wondering if I have to install them on the GDO to get to the area where I can actually "configure" the devices per the RATDGO Plug in directions.

Ok. have been able to connect to the device by switching cables. Have also re-installed the software, but again, I dont see any option to set the configuration per the plug-in directions. What am I missing. T NOte.. i do not have it installed in the garage yet. is that why I dont have config page?

It seems like it's a connection issue. The first time I connected I had three options and chose serial usb. Now I am only getting one option and it is bluetooth and it acts the same whether the RATDGO has power /connected or not. So am pretty sure that is one problem I need to solve first.

Trying a slightly different way I get this message. Is there a button or some other way to reboot it?

Followed the directions for installing the firmware, was successful. Followed the prompts and connected to wifi successfully. Followed the prompts and could "view" the RATDGO successfully. However, per the directions for the RATDGO plug-in, I never had a prompt nor do I see anywhere to do the following --> Note that the ratgdo configuration page will require you to set an "OTA & Web Config Password" upon initial configuration. Make sure you don't forget this password! In order to gain subsequent access to the configuration page, you must authenticate with a username of the ratgdo "Device Name" and the "OTA & Web Config Password" that you set. If you forget the password, you will have to reflash the device and start again. Configuration settings that must be changed/verified comprise: Make sure the "Enable MQTT" checkbox is checked. So I decided that I must have overlooked that step and did a re-install. This time, it went to 89% complete and then stopped. My RATDGO now has a solid blue light and wont get past the "Preparing" stage for erasing and updating the firmware. Any suggestions? thanks.

Are you using JUST UD Mobile? First set up a variable that you want to toggle in the AC.. Then follow these screen shots. It should be very straightforward: THEN..... Then....name it and set the variable for 1 for enter and 0 for exit. hit save After hitting ADD, navigate to the variable that you set up earlier and enter the value you want for entry and exit. Hit save. that is all it should take to sett up.

@ekapigian Am sorry that you are having problems. You should open a ticket at https://www.universal-devices.com/contact-us/. Michel and team are very customer focused and should be able to get you up and running confidently and consistently.

Setting this up in UD Mobile is actually very easy. Post back if you are having problems, once you look through the Wiki above.

Here is another option that is new to the market... but no integration to ISY except through Alexa. https://konnected.io/blogs/news/the-open-source-myq-alternative?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&utm_campaign=01HKZQHMFQM6KY7EYJBH2WBQJH&_kx=pqkgK1oe-WskWjWDjECYBp6l8RAPacxFnnp3YXtzKNY%3D.MJyxwm

When the outside lights turn on, does it change the luminance at the Motion sensor? if so, the Wait forces a re-evaluation of the IF and will make it turn false and so the Then will never complete.. Remove and put your wait and off settings into your Else statement and see if that fixes it. From WIKI --> The program's conditions are reevaluated each time a Wait or Repeat statement is encountered, and at the end of each iteration of a Repeat loop. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Scope,_Precedence_and_Execution_Order#Statement_Execution_Order

@Kentinada I am not clear on exactly what you are asking. Do you have an insteon MD in the same vicinity as a Ring camera and you are trying to use the Ring camera to as a validation that the insteon MD is still working? ie, Motion from ring, but not InsteonMD? If that is the case you could put them both in an if statement: If ring=motion AND Insteon MD= motion. THEN leave blank, ELSE notify. BUT the problem is that they would have to report to the isy at the same time, so this would not work directly. You would need three programs that look at each other. Prog1 IF Ring=motion Then do nothing, Else Do nothing Prog2 If Insteon MD = motion Then do nothing Else do nothing Prog 3: If (prog 1 is true and prog 2 is true) or (prog 1 is false and prog 2 is false) Then do nothing Else, wait 10 seconds (or whatever time it takes for both to report true if they are working which will stop the Else from completing), Send notification Not sure if this is what you meant or not.

Updated to FreeBSD 13.2p9 yesterday w/o any problems on Polisy! Congrats to @Michel Kohanim and team. I think this is the 3rd or 4th upgrade, using the button in the AC w/o any problems. This has been a long road as the team at UD has moved us from 994i to Eisy/Polisy and Polyglot to Nodeservers to Plug-ins. It hasn't always been easy and I can image at times a nightmare for them trying to keep up. A 3-4 year journey? (from an old post--> we will be performing maintenance on Polyglot Infrastructure on Tuesday June 9, 2020) But through and through, they have always been there to sort out the issues. Developers of Plug-ins have grown in their sophistication as well. And NOW... we have one of the most versatile and powerful integrator platforms for the Prosumer available on the market! And one that is set to usher in Matter as it develops as well. CONGRATS!

There is a FIND and REPLACE command in the programs to make changes like this if needed. right click on the top My Programs folder and you will see the option. Is very useful to also just Find something in a program you cant remember .

Upgraded on Polisy w/o any issues... Thanks @Michel Kohanim

My Polisy is on the second floor, my PLM in the basement, connected via ethernet. A very long run w/o any problems.

It's not clear in your posts if you are using the Portal to create the link between Alexa and the Eisy. See post above as an example of the Portal from @Goose66. Alexa cant discover anything that is not in the Portal, as this is where the link is made for all the connections between Alexa and Eisy, which then has the connection to the Ratgdo. No skill for Ratgdo is needed in Alexa. If you are using hte portal, then there is something different going on which may be the Universal Devices Skill in Alexa isnt working properly.

As long as your Eisy connects with Alexa, and the Eisy is talking with Ratgdo, then you can make them talk. This is done through he UD Portal to set up "spoken" commands which can be anything: light, program, scene, variable etc Once you get the link of Alexa triggering a program in Eisy, then you can do anything from there. Example: Set up a program in Eisy to set the garage door and call it Shut the Garage Door Set up a spoken in the Portal --> Alexa that chooses the above program. Set the spoken to be gibberish such as shutthegaragedoor. Ask Alexa to discover new devices Set up a routine in Alexa that is "shut the garage door" as the verbal command and add the above spoken to it Now when you say Alexa, shut the garage door, it will trigger that routine which will run the then of the program you set up. That is the most simplest of examples. Do the same thing with Open the garage door, etc. I am not familiar with what or how the nodes are showing up for ratgdo, so you may be able to go directly to a "light" and have Alexa trigger it w/o a routine or program. More here https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY_Portal_Amazon_Echo_Integration_V3 Post or DM if you need help after attempting.

A few ides you have probably tried, but just in case: hit the play button on the routine and does it run w/o the trigger? Change one of the items in the routine, resave it and try both the trigger and the play button to see if re-saving hte routine will kick it into gear again? double check the trigger element in the routine to ensure "detected" is checked and that it hasn't changed? and if it is, change it to not detected and save it, then change it back and save it? Just looking for ideas to see if the routine will re-engage.

This sorta cracks me up. while most of us agree that the Java interface is far from a sleek and updated web interface, it serves the purpose well and diligently. For someone to complain about it and then recommend a RPi instead seems a bit ironic as most people would pick up the JAVA Admin console far before they could figure out an RPi. Anyway. between the service, the historical rock solid performance, the new UD mobile app, Node servers and upcoming Matter compatibility, there isnt anything out there that compares at double the price to the Eisy. For 10x the price you can get a Control4 and pay a tech service guy to change your living room light from 85% to 60%, but I dont think most people on this site want that either. UD, from Michel on down actually care about their customers and their products. Frankly, I dont understand how they are actually making a living with such LOW prices. Just MHO.

Per this thread: I have found a second way to delete / manage scenes. Simply go to the Portal and edit the spoken and change it to a light. Then do a Discover new devices and then it will show in the normal device list and can be deleted. Be sure to delete it also in the portal or it will get rediscovered.

yes it did. See below.

I just tried two of my Alexa variables: -first where ISY initiates a change --> Alexa worked as expected (configured as variable in ISY and Device\Motion Sensor in Alexa) -Second where Alexa initiates the change --> ISY responded as expected. (configured as a variable in ISY, light switch in Alexa) So its does NOT seem to be a system wide issue.
