Add user device
If the phone is not showing on UD-Mobile > Notifications-Tab > Setting (gear icon), then it is likely the device is signed into another Portal account. Multiple Account support requires that the Node Server is installed again with the API key for the other account. Edit: See Jimbo's comment below.

Confused with Occupancy Geofencing!
UDI Mobile is not UD Mobile, I know it's confusing. Please provide the link to this documentation and I'll point users to UD Mobile setup. See https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=UD_Mobile#Geofencing. for Geofencing instructions. There is a setup video at the top and Occupancy setup at the bottom of this section.

Constant Subscription Settings Notification on UD Mobile
Without seeing the Notification Content I'm only guessing, but I think this is the keep alive setting. Older versions of Android required a persistent (non-swipeable) notification whenever an app was running in the background. Then there are a few versions which required the notification but allowed users to swipe it away. The newest versions of Android show this in another setting (bottom of expanded settings in Running Apps). The default was "1" or "2", so the Notification should disappear 1 or 2 minutes after closing the app. The setting is intended for only a few minutes, none ("0"), or negative (infinite). The issue with none ("0") is switching between apps will kill the connection, so on return there could delays while UDM refreshes values. If you are on a good internet connection and have a small/med system you may not notice any difference between 0 or a few minutes. If you are on a poor connection, have a large system, or have multiple systems connected to UDM then refresh may take a few dozen seconds. Android OS also allows users to hide these persistent notifications in Android settings if you truly want the app to run in the background and not see the notification. If I remember correctly long pressing the notification will show which types of UDM notification channels to hide. It is also possible that some versions of android do not remove the notification after closing. If this is true, it has not been reported.

UD Mobile - Android
Version 1.1.50 Added Thermostat Favorites Tile. This should be displayed automatically for users with firmware 5.8.0 or greater after synchronization. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/UD_Mobile#Custom_Views Known Issues: Moving Favorites may be broken, will try to get this fixed soon.

Home screen now missing both of my polisy boxes
1.1.49 removed the ability to hide systems nodes on the home tab, so they were likely hidden prior to this release. I'm pushing version 1.1.50 now which should show root nodes even if hidden. Google play has been publishing updates between 2 -12 hours, so try checking for an update later today.

Outdoor Video Camera Recommendation?
They don't offer this to third parties

Outdoor Video Camera Recommendation?
If I remember correctly Ring API only supports short clips, not a live camera feed. This is a Ring limitation. It may be possible to show short clips, but I don't think the Node Server has added this feature.
-
Outdoor Video Camera Recommendation?
It should work with any rstp cameras supported by VLC App. Do a quick Google search for the "Make/Model", "VLC" and "RSTP" to see if anyone was able to connect the Make/Model to the VLC app. I know Arlo cameras use proprietary rstp encryption so they will not work. Ring does not work.

One Device Missing from UD Mobile
First check if they are hidden, press the edit button at the top, if they show up hit the plus icon then disable edit mode by clicking the edit button.

Clear All Notifications?
Maybe a disappearing undo button instead of confirmation.

Clear All Notifications?
Will add to our list, need server side implementation before we can implement as badge updates would trigger too many refresh requests.
-
Clear All Notifications?
I think I misunderstood the request. The acknowledgement will only be cleared if the notification is clicked. Added in Android 1.1.47. Not yet implemented for iOS.

Clear All Notifications?
Will try to get to this in the next few builds.

UD Mobile Error
Did this correct the issue?

UD Mobile Error
Is the app working, besides the error during synchronization? The error appears to show an empty file. If the app is working, then it could be that Node Server needs to be configured before this file is populated.

UD Mobile Error
Do you have a Node Server in slot 5? Is it functional?

Goodbye Universal Devices
Thanks for the feedback. With regards to 994 and Java they both continue to work it is likely a misconfiguration or there is a system malfunction. Most Admin Console features are also available in UD Mobile if you have upgraded your system to the latest 5.x firmware. The "overpriced Celeron-based box" may seem unneeded today, in ten years it may be seen as not enough. Our long product lifespan and free tech support during the product's lifespan is one of the major differences between us and our competition.

UD Mobile Custom Tile Testing
UDM Colors are currently not passed to the file, it is on the list of known issues. If implemented the file will need to apply the color to elements. With the current implementation the file's creator can change colors if desired. To help creators the example-tile is intended as a simple example. The button is an example of a Command without Parameters, the slider is an example of a Command with parameters. I plan on adding more complex examples, including examples for programs/variable nodes, in the future. Fixed.

UD Mobile Custom Tile Testing
Happy Holidays to All! Starting with UD Mobile for Android 1.1.45 and iOS 1.1.47, which should be live soon, we are opening Custom Tiles for developer testing. The purpose of testing is to verify all needed properties are available to creators prior to final implementation. Custom Tiles allow users and developers to create their own Favorites Tiles in UD Mobile. During Testing the files must be hosted, but we will soon have a methods to save on eisy possibly in the profiles directory for Node Servers. I have a simple file hosted at my github which can be used as a demonstration, see https://wiki.universal-devices.com/UD_Mobile_Custom_Tiles for instructions. Detailed instructions for creating/hosting your own Custom Tiles can be found here: https://github.com/UniversalDevicesInc/html-node-views. Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or requests.

Notifications for Dummies
Great work! I'll add that when UDM automatically creates a notifications a new program is created. Also the "Portal" Node Server is the "Occupancy Node Server". Create at least one notification from UD Mobile by following the YouTube Video. UDM will automatically configure the Notification Node Server with your Portal API Key. When creating a new Notification (program) from UDM, UDM will create the "UD Mobile Event Template" if it does not exist, UDM will create a new "UD Mobile Event Template (1)" (number will increase if 1 already exists) if the user modifies the original Template. Note that the template is shared by all notifications programs created by UD Mobile, so it is best practice to copy the template, or create a new template, if you would like to change the content.

Best ISY supported "smart" water main shutoff valve?
I installed the YoLink Meter and Valve over the holiday after main line replacement, the meter and valve appear well built off the shelf items, so if the YoLink functionality does not work, or stops working both devices can be connected to a Z-Wave or Networked interface. YoLink Hardware: Purchased the FlowSmart Control Meter and Valve Kit and YoLink hub for $402 with 20% holiday discount. Without discount I may have purchased something else. https://shop.yosmart.com/products/ys5006-dn20s?_fid=6d7d771f3&_pos=5&_ss=c The valve: This appears to be an off the shelf TONHEFLOW valve rebranded by various companies. http://www.motorized-valve.com/A20-Stainless-Steel-motorized-valve/DN25-1-inch-CR501-NSF61-G-motorized-ball-valve-with-manual-override.html Similar Zwave variant exists for $439/$387 https://shop.homeseer.com/products/z-wave-smart-water-valve?variant=38150151700655¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOoqjv61AvRc8ldg6CAnMaAIpkzwhWodbGCHFcmxNIBPUWmfkZuhNOCs https://www.zwaveoutlet.com/collections/water-control/products/leak-gopher-z-wave-water-valve-control I found at least one company which bundles a Z-Wave Relay with the same valve for $159 which shows a wiring diagram https://innovativehomesys.com/products/z-wave-water-shutoff-valve-package?variant=43566407778467 Same Valve with Insteon Implementation diagram https://innovativehomesys.com/collections/e-hvac/products/motorized-brass-water-shutoff-valve-with-feedback?variant=1183422031 The Meter: This appears to be an off the shelf meter rebranded by various companies Similar meter $160 https://www.ekmmetering.com/products/3-4-water-nsf?variant=33025363869757&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google+Shopping¤cy=USD&country=US&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7aSsBhCiARIsALFvovxeTScOYja2OCipXHLBf5q1ZEe7ha-y_5EJNcRGkvs8lOEXh8tbvBwaApmpEALw_wcB Similar meter with Z-Wave interface (in brass which may not be suitable for potable water) $229 https://shop.ezlo.com/products/fortrezz-flow-meter-75-z-wave-plus/?srsltid=AfmBOorHA2Tq5R_AwABCU8OKOn-susXq5fEedyopce0Pqowd7n6_wABCi8s Final Thoughts: The YoLink interface has a battery (backup when on AC) and AC connection, which is not the case for many of the Z-Wave Manufactures, although without local connections, this may be moot. I'm not sure I'll keep the YoLink interface if their new, yet to be released, hub does not support Local Connections. While the 20% discount pushed me to pull the trigger on purchase, I would have saved money by purchasing the off the shelf parts separately, although meter integration may have been difficult. It would be great if Fortrezz sold the Z-Wave interface decoupled from the meter as the brass meter may not be approved for potable water. Interfacing the shutoff valve with Z-Wave appears to be straightforward, so I may go this route. Interfacing the meter with Z-Wave, Zigbee, or network, may be difficult. There are various European companies which sell Zigbee pulse meter counters but not sure if the would work. The interface needs to send the pulse count not each pulse, which may be an issue.
