I did use the Alexa Venstar skill in the past but after I moved I thought I would try to keep access local and within the UD environment. The previous versions of the ISY skill as I remember didn't really support a thermostat. Skyport makes it very easy to configure the thermostats and remotely control them. The one setting on the thermostat that needs to be turned on is 'Local API" in settings.

I set up a Venstar thermostat on the eisy. All works fine. When I add that thermostat to the portal it is acknowledged by Alexa and added to the device list. The problem is that when I send an oral command to that device, like set mode heat the NS doesn't seem to understand what was received. Alexa shows waiting for UD. Also the current room temperature isn't received by Alexa. Shouldn't this work? Thanks.

I had used that prior to moving but this time I thought I would try to keep the communications local.

Also logged the following after a command to set mode to heat. 026-01-31 18:46:20.793 MQTT udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_message: QUEUING incoming message command2026-01-31 18:46:20.793 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_parseInput: DEQUEING command 2026-01-31 18:46:20.793 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_handleInput: PROCESS command message {'address': 'c0a81e4b', 'cmd': 'CLIMD', 'value': '1', 'query': {}} from Polyglot 2026-01-31 18:46:20.793 Command udi_interface.node ERROR node:runCmd: node c0a81e4b command CLIMD not defined

I set up the Venstar CT thermostat and communications works fine using the Admin Console. After adding it to the Portal Alexa discovered it with no problem. The issue is that when I issue a command using Alexa it repeats the command like it had been executed but when I check the device on Alexa it says it is waiting for UDI. It is defined as a thermostat on the Portal with no other choice available. Any suggestions would be apricated. I did delete and re-add it to the portal. I rebooted the eisy. Version 6.0.4 The falling is what I see after a command is issued via Alexa. 2026-01-31 18:20:37.406 MQTT udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_message: QUEUING incoming message command 2026-01-31 18:20:37.406 Command udi_interface.interface DEBUG interface:_parseInput: DEQUEING command

Can this node server also control the humidity set point? Thanks

To start eisy-ui just type https://1.2.3.4

I had some flickering issue and found it to be that the Instron switch was adjacent to a dimmer in the switch box. Another solution may be to install these devices. https://www.insteon.com/collections/accessories/products/led-flicker-glow-eliminator

I have two Syncrolinks and they both don't always follow the Holdoff seconds set in their configuration. They may turn on or off instantly at any time. I'll probably correct this by using a program but was wondering if this may be an issue with the Syncrolink. Thanks

I keep getting this error when trying to 'Scan for Bluetooth devices'. Thanks V.6.0.4 Also V.6.0.3 New Text Document (3).txt

I did receive this response to 'does a Roku stick respond to query broadcasts?'. Just some info. I'll check to see if the broadcasts are making it from ethernet to the wi-fi network Thanks Yes, the Roku Streaming Stick (HD versions included) does respond to network query broadcasts using the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP). This protocol allows programs and devices on your local network (such as the official Roku mobile app or smart home systems) to automatically discover the Roku device and its IP address. Update. I have found it works fine when connected to the 5GHz Wi-Fi network.

I have a Roku ultra that has no problem being discovered by the Roku NS but I just received a Roku streaming stick HD but it can't be discovered by the NS. I see the broadcast being sent out but no response from the Roku stick. I do have the allow app to control the Roku enabled. Just wondering if there are issues with the streaming sticks. The ultra is on Ethernet while the stick is on Wi-Fi, but both are on the same network. Thanks

Thanks so much. Just ordered.

I am suspecting occasional clunk sounds in my Audio Player may possibly be related to the power supply. Could someone recommend a replacement power supply for the eisy. Thanks

Several times the audio player has stopped working. Started with latest updates. Just now after it stopped working I noticed that no node was listed. Restating the NS restored the node and allowed the player to once again work. Also multiple tries to play the audio will sometimes start it working again. The pattern is that it will stop working after a day or two. I turned on debug , so next time I should be able to provide more information. AP version: 1.3.8 Using audio output jacks. IoX version: 6.0.0 PG3x version: 3.3.22 Thanks.

No luck with trying to set chrome to full screen. Chrome proprieties are not available for adding command lines . Found a tablet that runs win 11, so I my go in that direction. Thanks for your help. Found that the Hermit browser does exactly what I needed.

It doesn't look like I can use F11 on a tablet. The on screen keyboard doesn't have the capability for using F keys. Please let me know if it is possible without using a physical keyboard. Thanks.

I can only use Firefox on a tablet in order to not show the tab bar and at least scroll up to not show the address bar. Was wondering if a future release may include the ability to go full screen to eliminate completely the tab and address bars. Would make for a nice clean display. Thanks.

I just updated to 7.0 and I can now see my programs but eisy-ui isn't being updated with data like Insteon light status or weather link data. I did a hard reboot but no change.

A problem just started with my tablet and laptop pc that has been logged into eisy-ui for many days. I now get "Error Loading Profiles". When clicking on nodes i get "Error 404" Programs and states seem to load ok. It does work ok on my desktop pc. Any suggestions. UPDATE: Problem fixed. Had to use https.

Thank you. I did install eisy-ui. Just tried using port 80 for the AC and it now shows portal status. Again thanks.

For whatever reason my eisy lost the Portal connection causing Alexa not to work. I rebooted the eisy and the connection was restored. Not sure if rebooting was the solution. But I now noticed that the portal page in the AC no longer shows the Portal status. I just get this response (Bad Request) when accessing the page. Thanks for any insight

Not sure if I am creating the correct setup for sending an https command. The message that is returned is Read Response Failed Net module Rule 28. I have no idea what that rule means.

In a browser I initially get the request to ignore the not secure message. After that the commands always work in the browser until a time lapse or defiantly the next day.

Thanks you for the reply. This is the link to all available http commands. https://www.wiimhome.com/pdf/HTTP API for WiiM Products.pdf There may be an issue with the certificate where as the eisy can't replay to ignore the non secured message. I had to do that initially on the browser. Again thanks for any help.
