    If using beta repo for upgrades I would first verify the issue, is the status slow to update or is the program scene slow to execute. Open the event viewer on you phone before you walk into a room if the status change immediately and there is a delay then investigate that path. If status does not update immediately then investigate that path. For the latter, try removing the devices and specify long range (only available in beta) during inclusion. An alternative, if both devices support local linking add both as mesh in a scene (although this may cause other issues depending on your setup).
  2. Programs are re-evaluating very frequency. Not an issue but is the cause. The programs list is scheduled for virtualization which will correct, but not sure on the time frame. All improvements to original grids/lists are deferred until virtualization is complete. This is also needed for mobile implementation so is high on the list.
  3. It will not trigger inside the folder. What I reference is in a program an if condition can be the status if another program (e.g. the folder), in this case it's not the folder's conditions triggering the program it is the folders's status triggering the program.
  4. #1 No. A folder status must be true for automatic condition (IF) evaluation of children. It does not trigger evaluation, this still requires and event/status-change/etc. You could have a sibling program (to the folder) run a programs (IF) condition when the folder becomes true. This may even work in the program itself. Be aware that if the programs condition condition is an event, it will fail (IF), as the event is not true (is not happening). If the condition is a status and is true it will run.
  5. Perfect, I added an issue for investigation. ID: /udi/issues/21 We have a backlog currently due to eisy-ui roadmap, but have replicated the issue.
  6. Ok so is the issue is the selected state does not persist after reboot?
  7. I don't follow, maybe attach an image of the scene or program being used. Batter devices need to be awake to write, so writing is not something that should be done programmatically in most cases.
  8. For insteon there is not direct control of a button other than the load button. To control buttons they must be in a scene, so create a tile for the scene that has the C button.

    See https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/47131-is-network-resources-still-supported/#comment-407536
  10. No changes, it is still supported. View/Edit exists in eisy-ui beta. However there is a UI bug that has issues with escaped chars, better to use admin console to edit until fixed. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/47042-eisy-ui-is-getting-there-heres-where-we-stand/
  11. Javi replied to BobM99's topic in eisy
    To check you may need to be local?
  12. Javi replied to BobM99's topic in eisy
    There is a new beta today, please switch to beta (not staging). Upgrade to 6.1.2_7, wait at least 10 min then reboot. if issue persists please open a ticket.
  13. Javi replied to BobM99's topic in eisy
    What is the firmware? If not on 6.1.1 or greater please upgrade.
  14. Javi replied to DNewkirk's topic in eisy
    Thanks @Techman and @DNewkirk , I have repliacted added issue ID: /eisy-ui/issues/71 For the other Items @IndyMike is correct. The only values reported are in the property boxes at the top. Anything in a command is just default, although sometimes defaults are linked to a property value (init). This is one of the reason in 6.1.1 ( and in UD Mobile) the commands are grouped together without displaying a default until issuing a command. This prevents confusion with current state.
  15. Javi replied to DNewkirk's topic in eisy
    Can you please attach a screen shot showing in AC and missing from eisy-ui. Then right click the node in the list > Configuration > NodeInfo (requires eisy-ui beta), similar in Admin Console.
  16. Are you using firmware 6.1.1 or greter?
  17. Javi replied to dennisric's topic in eisy
    go to my.isy.io and reset the password.
  18. This comment is my own and not that of UD: IMHO matter has it's place but not in lighting or sensors. It should be limited to complex devices that already run independently such as thermostats, sprinkler controllers, etc. These devices usually cost more and have a better matter implementation, and the MFG is unlikely to make a Z-Wave/Zigbee product. Many of the devices we tested, especially the low cost ( less than $50) had issues eventually, in may cases you get what you pay for. Also many consumer WiFi routers are not setup to handle a large amount of devices and start to drop connections. So if planning to have more than a handful of matter devices a user needs a high-end router. The next issue is routers. What happens when you replace your router? Be prepared to reset all your matter devices. This is fine for a few devices (a thermostat and a sprinkler controller) but spending a day trying to get my light switches/bulbs back online is not something on my TODO list. Does your router force the same SSID for 2.4 and 5GHz networks? Some Matter devices try to connect to a network that is not supported so may cycle between connected and disconnected, so you need to run 2 independent networks. There is another issue with most devices, who is the admin and how is network connectivity established? Some devices are self administrators (e.g. nest) so you can manage other admins and network connectivity from the device itself. Other devices require an administrator to setup admin and network, when having network issues or changing routers this is a huge obstacle ofter requiring a factory reset.
  19. This is in Beta repo. Upgrade to beta or wait until released to production.
  20. Try adding from eisy-ui, inclusion has been drastically improved.
  21. We've been hearing from a lot of you — questions about what's ready, what's coming, and what still needs Admin Console. Rather than answer the same questions one at a time, we wanted to create a single place you can always come back to for the latest picture. This is that page. We'll keep it updated as things move forward. We've been working hard to bring every Admin Console feature into eisy-ui, our modern browser-based interface. We want to be transparent about where things are today — what's ready, what's coming, and what's still on the list. If you're on an older firmware, you may already see an early version of eisy-ui — but it may be missing key features, including backup. Upgrading to IoX 6.1.1 is required to use eisy-ui for day-to-day management. For the next few weeks, keep Admin Console available for anything not yet in the browser — but check back often, as updates are moving quickly. If you're feeling adventurous, a beta build may already have what you need. If you're currently on a version lower than 6.0.0, please open a support ticket for personalized upgrade instructions before proceeding. eisy-ui can receive incremental updates independently of firmware, so this document tracks eisy-ui versions specifically — not firmware versions. Why this is important nowSee https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/47002-bye-bye-admin-console-java/#comment-406740 A Note on Firmware UpgradesGetting to IoX 6.1.1 may have had some bumps. We know. Many of the issues users experienced during earlier firmware upgrades have been resolved in 6.1.1 itself — and once you're there, those problems should not come back. From 6.1.1 forward, all backups, restores, and firmware upgrades should be done directly from eisy-ui. No Admin Console required. What's Available Noweisy-ui 1.2.2 This is the stable release. It covers the core of what most users do every day. Full node control — manage and control all your devices from the browser. Variables — add, edit, and remove variables without touching Admin Console. Programs — create, edit, and delete programs entirely in the browser. Groups / Scenes — full add, edit, and remove support. *See TODO: Folder and scene selection dialog (if not working) Notification templates — create and manage your notification configurations in one place. Known Issues: Commands with multiple parameters/UOMs — Unit of measure is not being attached to commands with multiple parameters, does not appear to cause an issue but not impossible. Only direct commands, not Programs (Fixed in eisy-ui 1.3.7) Commands with decimal precision — precision is not being sent with commands e.g. 100.0% is being sent as 1000%. Only direct commands, not Programs (Fixed in eisy-ui 1.3.7) What's in Betaeisy-ui 1.3.8 This one's a big step. Device configuration is now in the browser. Add/Edit/Configure devices — add, edit, and configure device level settings. Insteon device management — full add, edit, and configure support. Z-Wave device management — full add, edit, and configure support. Zigbee device management — full add, edit, and configure support. Matter device management — full add, edit, and configure support. Node Delete Enhancements — grouped nodes are now reparented before delete, options to delete related nodes System, light, and dark themes — personalize the interface to match your preference or your environment. Networking resources — add, edit, and delete network resources directly from eisy-ui. (see TODO below for issues) Z-Wave Lock user codes — set and delete user codes for Z-Wave locks from the browser. Folder and scene selection dialog — adding to a group or moving to a folder currently lacks a proper picker. Some users have also reported drag and drop isn't working as expected or feels unintuitive. Time and location settings — edit your system's time and location configuration without Admin Console. What's in Stagingeisy-ui 1.3.8 Almost ready. These features are in final validation before release. Currently the same as Beta — check back soon for more updates What's in Internal TestingThese are features we're actively working through before they reach staging. Bug Fixes — New interface new problems, we are fixing the small issues right now. On Our To-Do ListWe want to be honest about what's not there yet. These are known gaps we're actively working to close. Favorites Page Enhancements — Use a Grid Like pattern similar to UD Mobile. Device model on the Nodes page — you should be able to see the model of each device at a glance. Coming soon. Node group membership on the Nodes page — controller/responder relationships (scene membership) will be surfaced directly on the node. Pending writes notification for disabled nodes — we'll be removing the false-positive pending writes indicator that shows up for disabled nodes. Node error propagation — errors currently only appear on the parent node. We're adding support to surface errors on child nodes as well. Hidden properties in Program Edit — some hidden properties may not be appearing in the program editor. We're tracking this down and will have a fix in an upcoming release. Color Enhancements — changing contrast for some red/yellow colors. Possibly allowing color themes. Z-Wave Secure Inclusion Event Flow Fallback secure inclusion when legacy inclusion is used for Z-Wave. Not applicable when using QR Code Insteon Device/Iox Links Table ui does not match admin console. Description Not Provided Zwave Family Page missing Secure Inclusion Setting. Description Not Provided Some Insteon Devices missing "custom commands" Options, Button Toggle Mode, LED Brightness, Button Grouping. Need Portal API to change Account Global Email Address Email address shown in eisy-ui may be the email used to create the account, does not reflect the current email/account. Add Device Model to Node Page Description Not Provided Generate Topology missing Description Not Provided Network Resource Fix error with escape chars, add test button. This is a living roadmap. We'll keep it updated as features move through the pipeline. We're genuinely excited about where eisy-ui is headed — and we can't wait for you to have the full experience in your hands. Thank you for your patience and your feedback. Frequently Asked QuestionsHow do I access eisy-ui? When connected to your local network, open a browser and go to eisy.local or the local IP address of your eisy unit. Why is eisy.local is not working? Some routers/PCs/Mobile-Phones may not recognize a .local address on the local network. Try using the numerical IP Address. If using ISY Portal (my.isy.io) and eisy is online, the numerical UP can be found in Select Tools > Information > ISY Information > Internal IP. How do I upgrade firmware or check my current version? Menu (top left) > System > System Upgrade tab. Your current version is displayed there, and you can trigger an upgrade from the same screen. Eisy is not online? Go to my.isy.io. Add your UUID if not already listed. Next to the UUID there is an indicator which is red/yellow/green/white hover over this indicator to see the eisy's status. If there is a red triangle next to eisy's UUID hover over the triangle for more information. How to enabled the included 1 year trial of remote access? Go to my.isy.io. Add your UUID if not already listed. Select Tool > Information > ISY Portal Access License. How do I get the Beta or Staging build? Menu (top left) > System > System Upgrade tab. From there, select the Beta or Staging repository. One important note: upgrades are one-way. We strongly discourage installing a lower version — for example, going from Beta back to Production. You can return to Production once it reaches or exceeds your current version. How do I report an issue or request a missing feature? Please open a support ticket — but before you do, take a quick look at the roadmap above. If it's already listed, we're already on it. How do I access from a remote location? Using ISY Portal (my.isy.io) > Select Tool (next to UUID) > eisy-ui What is my username and password? eisy-ui users your portal (my.isy.io) credentials for both local and remote connections. How do I edit Programs? Click the Menu (top right) > Automations > Programs. Program Edits required firmware 6.1.1 or greater How do I edit Scenes/Groups? To add a new group click the add button at the top of the Nodes Page (Menu > Nodes). To add a device to a scene right click the device > Add to Scene. To edit scene links click the scene in the node list, this will open the scene members page, click the carrot next to any controller to see/edit links. To remove a device in a scene the scene in the node list, this will open the scene members page, right click the member > Delete. NOTE: We have reports of drag and drop not working for some users, we have an update in Internal testing (see above) that will correct the issue. Why are you not supporting ISY994 with the new web interface? ISY994 does not have the hardware needed to run the eisy-ui web server. Why are you discontinuing support for ISY994? ISY994 firmware updates have been discontinued for almost 5 years. We are not changing anything with the hardware/software, and we have no way to push firmware upgrades as our current firmware, which contains the new web interface, will not run on ISY994. Your ISY994 will continue to function, we are simply discontinuing updates/support for one method of accessing isy/polisy/eisy, which is the Admin Console, due to lack of Java support from on MacOS and some Windows devices. If you have an eisy/Polisy please upgrade to use the new web interface instead. If using ISY-994 everything will continue to work, however the Admin Console may break at some point do to PC operating system change out of our control, this has already started to happen if using the beta versions of MacOS. If you choose not to upgrade we recommend creating a backup just in case your PC fails to launch the Admin Console in the future. All APIs, and apps that work with ISY994, including portal access, continue to function. What is the duration of the included Remote Access trial? A new eisy currently includes a 1 year free subscription to ISY Portal no credit card required. Why do you charge a fee for an ISY Portal Remote Access Subscription? This service is needed for network security, your eisy calls to the server to establish a connection. Without the server component your home network would need to be exposed to anyone on the internet to allow an app/website/service to call into your home (instead of eisy calling out to a server). Direct call in, is possible with eisy, but not recommended unless you are very competent with network security. It is also not something for which we offer support as this is highly discouraged by any security professional. We understand some other companies offer "free" remote access services, but as the saying goes nothing is free. Many other companies sell your data and/or required advertisements, we do neither. So we charge a modest yearly fee for the remote access service. Why is UD Mobile not synchronizing or Why does UD Mobile have errors when synchronizing? See: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/46771-new-version-just-downloaded-on-ios-sync-errors/#findComment-406912 Why is there no firmware upgrade for Polisy? We no longer test firmware upgrades against Polisy so all firmware updates are unofficial https://www.universal-devices.com/polisy-entering-a-maintenance-phase/ however if you are on OS 14 upgrades to 6.1.x will likely succeed. See https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/47009-bye-bye-admin-console-polisy-implications/ . How to check for OS version, go to http://eisy.local:8080/WEB/sysconfig.txt (eisy.local can be replaced with the IP Address) Look for FreeBSD polisy XX.X-RELEASE If XX should be 13 or 14. Upgrading from 13 will likely fail and may require flash to restore.
  22. There should be no reason to be in legacy mode unless something is not synchronizing. But I think all of these issue are resolved (the new method is the same method used by eisy-ui)
  23. Yes, already in our master so likely nest beta. From Portal:
  24. Add a favorite type Empty, will only show in Edit Mode.
  25. Unfortunately if the Portal Module was not installed then it can no longer be installed as the servers are not running. If the module was installed prior to the sunset date it would work. With that said, I provided the Problem summary in .md format for a vary particular reason, AI chatbots are very good at understanding these documents. You can likely run your own proxy on a PC just during synchronization, it just needs to add/replace the connection header with connection: close. Feed this document into an AI chatbot with your PC setup and It should be able to help. May help to indicate that connection: close solves the problem on Android.
