Awesome - thanks! And thanks for the ongoing work on the Yolink node server. It's worked really well in my environment, and the reliability, range, and integration of the devices in eisy is great.

These are the four devices that show up as being "Not Connected" in the easy admin console, but the Yolink app all shows them as being in a "Normal" state.

FYI - I sent you the log package via PM.

I updated to V1.0.6 this afternoon and noticed a few of my sensors don't seem to be reflected as expected. My Garage Door Controller (YS4906-UC) shows as "Not Connected" until I open or close the garage door, then it shows as "Connected". My leak sensors (YS7903-UC) all show as "Not Connected" even though the Yolink app shows them as being online. I haven't tried to manually trigger them, but can do that if it would help. I'm also happy to send you logs if needed.

While I'd like to see this product become available, I'm not sure this is real just yet. Seems like a real product announcement might include some actual technical details on the product. I emailed their customer service folks just a few days ago to ask about the new hub and this was their response: "Thank you for reaching out to us and for choosing YoLink products! We're thrilled to share that we have exciting plans to launch our new hub, YS-1605, in mid-2024. One standout feature of this upcoming YoLink hub is its capability to support a SIM card. However, as the device is currently undergoing its final development stages, some features are yet to be confirmed pending thorough testing. We kindly ask you to stay tuned to our website or Facebook page for the latest updates and further details as they unfold." There doesn't appear to be any news on their Facebook page, so perhaps this is just a placeholder to generate some marketing buzz? Plus, it's listed on their website as "Cellar hub with battery backup".

If possible, I'd like to see support for: Manufacturer Name: Inovelli Model #: Blue Series Smart 2-1 Switch (On/Off or Dimmer) Link: https://inovelli.com/products/zigbee-matter-blue-series-smart-2-1-on-off-dimmer-switch Key/desired function support: On/Off and Dimming Functions

I recently ordered and installed nine SmartWings woven shades, and I went with the Matter motor. For now, I use Amazon Echo devices to handle the automation (e.g., opening in the morning, closing at night, etc.). The Matter motor has been just okay so far. On some days, I notice a shade that didn't open or close as expected, so reliability hasn't been rock solid, but I can't say if that's the shade motor fault or the controller side. As other stated, there is always the remote. That works flawlessly, and I like that it can open a single shade or multiple shades in a group with one click. The battery operation and design of how one can customize various operational parameters (e.g., setting upper and lower limits, pairing motors to various remote channels, etc.) is really kind of elegant. I did run into a couple of issues where I needed to contact customer service, resulting in some shades that needed to be remade. On one, a clip came loose inside the rod during transit and it made an odd noise whenever I raised or lowered the shade. On a couple of shades that were supposed to be light blocking, there was a defect that allowed light through in several points where the back of the shade was stitched to the guide for raising/lowering. Their customer service folks were excellent to work with and they fully addressed the issues I experienced. Overall, I'm very pleased with the end result. The jury is still out on whether going with the Matter motor was the best decision. It adds a lot to the price, and a fully reliable implementation still seems more promise than reality at this point. Like others, I am hoping the UD team releases an update to eisy so I can run my shade automation from that instead of the Alexa app.

@glacier991 I'd be interested in learning more about your solution if you don't mind posting the info!

@DualBandAid You may already know this, but if not, Home Assistant (HA) has an integration available for Universal Devices ISY/IoX (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/isy994). There's no need for an additional PLM, as it just interfaces directly with the UD controller (e.g., ISY994, polisy, and/or eisy). I use eisy as my main automation platform and it controls most of my home automations, but HA provides a nice platform that can integrate many additional devices and I can view and control them all via a single user interface via HA on my iPhone.

@Kentinada It's pretty easy to setup. I installed it on a Raspberry Pi, and the instructions available through the HA site are easy to follow. I like eisy for most of my home automation routines, but I use HA to build and customize the user interface that controls everything from my iPhone. It allows access to those devices accessible via eisy plus many others, including the Honeywell thermostats. It also has a high WAF (wife acceptance factor), at least in my case. BTW - there are lots of posts in the UD forums re: other users and HA, so you may be able to get a sense of what they experience with a few quick searches.

I ran into a similar problem when I tried getting support from Resideo because the setup for the Honeywell Node Server wasn't producing the desired results. I went through their support chat line, opened a support case, emailed their developer support address, and followed up multiple times over several months, and never did get a response. It's now been almost a year since I started down that path. I eventually gave up and just decided to integrate Honeywell thermostats into my home automation setup through Home Assistant.

Thanks, this worked for me. My node server is back online.

I'm having a problem similar to @glarsen in trying to upgrade the Kasa node server. I've tried upgrading packages and reinstalling the node server several times but it continues to show as disconnected and won't start. The logs exhibit a similar message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kasa'

Got it - thanks! Installation went smoothly.

I'm not seeing this version in the Plugins Store yet - has it been posted?

There may be a more direct way to do this, but somewhere along the line I remember seeing the following command listed as something that could show you the versions of what's running on the eisy. https://eisy.local:8443/WEB/sysconfig.txt Look for isy in the resulting list, and it should show you the full version number.

Thanks @Geddy - I appreciate the response. I had seen the node server intro in the store, which indicates what you referenced above. The github entry is a bit more open to interpretation as it states "The Ring Node Server retrieves your Ring devices and allows you to get motion and ring events, and also control floodlights." I was hoping maybe "motion and ring events" would refer more broadly to a set of events caused by other Ring devices such as motion sensors, contact sensors, etc. Sadly, I believe it's "ring" vs "Ring" and I think that just means doorbell rings. Oh well -- I am glad for the level of support provided. Perhaps one day it will expand to include events from the broader set of Ring devices. Thanks again for commenting!

Indeed - glad that worked out for you!

I'm sure this is a silly question, but you've tried right-clicking on one of the items to be grouped and selected "Group Devices", right?

I did not go so far as to delete and re-add my I3 dimmers via the eisy admin console, but sadly there doesn't seem to be any update with respect to treating these as dimmers versus binary switches in the latest software update (5.6.4). If someone sees a different behavior, please post an update.

@Panda88 - Thanks for your response. No rush on this end ... enjoy your vacation!

I have a simple watchdog program that monitors the status of my Node Servers and sends me a message when one goes offline. I've noticed that the YoLink Node Server status (associated with the YoLinkSetup entry in the admin console on my eisy) always displays "Connected" even when that Node Server has been manually stopped and isn't running. The status of individual YoLink devices seems to accurately reflect whether they are connected or not, but not the status of the Node Server. Is this working as intended? Is it possible something else might cause that status to not change? I'm running IoX v5.6.3, PG3x v3.1.37, and YoLink NS v0.8.99 if that helps.

Sorry if I've missed this somewhere, but I'm trying to get a better sense of what the Ring Node Server supports. I am aware it works with Ring cameras and doorbells (and their associated motion sensors). Does it work with the Ring Alarm or Ring Alarm Pro, or any of the sensors connected to the Ring Alarms such as motion sensors, contacts sensors, glass breakage sensors, etc.?

Like @tazman, I still got the PG3x restart message, and refreshing the browser did get rid of it. I had to restart the Ring Node Server to get it talking to eisy again, but overall this was a pretty smooth update.

It don't think the dimmer is fully supported on IoX yet. I believe the intent is to do so, but I've not seen anything that indicates when.
