smorgasbord

My ISP is Frontier; My email provider is TutaMail, and I don't believe they provide SMTP services (encrypted service like ProtonMail). I don't know about the "TEXT" feature - can you explain/link? thanks

Just migrated from an ISY-99i to EISY, running 5.8.4, using the default (UD) SMTP server. Email to normal email addresses works. Email to 9876543210@txt.att.net numbers (ATT wireless SMS) doesn't work. However, from my email account, messages to that same ATT wireless numbers works. Error message attached.

Great - thanks so much. I seem to be up and running. Not all of my YoLink devices are showing - I'm guessing that's because the Plug-in doesn't yet support some non-popular YoLink devices like the "Water Depth Sensor."

This is what my Configuration tab looks like, unless I'm looking in the wrong place. I just now went into the YoLink App and created/copied the UAID and SECRET_KEY variables into the "Custom Configuration Parameters". I won't post those here, obviously. Then I did a Restart and got a couple messages, one on YoLink(1) being Disconnected, then Connected. OK, and now in the Admin Console I'm starting to see devices! Still not finding instructions....

Long-time ISY-99i user and have also been using YoLink for a couple years now. Finally decided to integrate the two, and so just bought and installed my eisy. Got the old Insteon devices and scenes and programs up and running again, got the trial version of the YoLink plugin installed, and now can't figure out how to get my few dozen YoLink devices added and managed. I did an Add All Nodes from the Yolink menu, but that didn't seem to do anything. I went to Add Node, but the menu has all sorts of repeats and I can't find things like the YoLink Plug (see attached screen shot). Sorry, but I literally don't know what to do next.

I admit I haven't been paying any attention to ISY stuff for over a year now. When SmartHome went under, it seemed that Insteon might be in trouble and there was some effort in trying to get Insteon devices going again. That's about the time I started adding YoLink devices - I started with the water sensing devices since my well water tanks are located 600' feet from my house and the LoRa range they offer was nice. I ended up with some thermostats, open/close sensors and relays, and a few other things as well. At that time (a year or two?) I checked the forums here and there wasn't anything I found on YoLink, and it didn't seem like that was going to happen. It's great that it did! If you've got a pointer for me to start looking at, that'd be great, and if EISY can control my YoLink and Insteon devices with programming logic, I'll certainly get on-board and migrate.

OK, so I reconfigured my router to use the 192.168.1 IP pool instead of 192.168.50 IP pool and sure enough, the ISY showed up after reboot! Now I should probably remove the static IP setup in the ISY and do it only in the router, for when I upgrade my router again - last time was over a dozen years ago so no complaints on that. Of course, my portal lease is up, and it's now $44/year. A new eisy is $255, but considering I'm using it for my now also discontinued Insteon devices I don't have much incentive to upgrade. If eisy would support the YoLink set of devices, I'd be all over it in a heartbeat.

This the first and so far only thing I've noticed wrong. Since I changed the SSIDs I'm using, I had to reconnect all of my wireless devices anyway, and the few wired ones are all working. The ISY is the only thing so far I can tell hasn't re-connected. The portal doesn't work either, as expected when not seeing the ISY in the router's client/device list. It's good to know the ISY will function and make Insteon devices using powerline/wireless do their things, and that internet is only/mostly for talking to the ISY.

OK, so I have a new router. I think what's going on is that the new router's address range is 192.168.50.XX whereas the old router's address range is 192.168.1.XX. I don't see the ISY in the router's client list (short list since it's ethernet cabled), and I can't connect to the ISY admin console. I tried resetting my Java cache, too. Rebooting the ISY doesn't help. If I unplug the ethernet cable to the ISY, the Memory and Error lights blink, which is to be expected for no ethernet, so it does see ethernet, the router just doesn't allow it to connect. I'm using DHCP on the router and do not have any manually assigned addresses. My only thought at this point is that perhaps I gave my ISY a static IP (because I had a bookmark for http://192.168.1.200/WEB/INDEX.HTM) and now my router isn't allowing 192.168.1XX addresses. So my two options are: 1) Change the router to use 192.168.1 instead of 192.168.50 for its LAN address range 2) Reset the ISY to factory defaults (if in fact it's using a manual static IP) The ISY is functioning fine, btw, as my programs are all running and I've verified that inputs run programs and cause the right things to happen with my Insteon devices. So, are those two items what I should try, and in that order, or should I check/do something else first? thanks!

Yes, it did. Did that AND ran both cables through my LANSeeker cable tester just in case.

OK, did the reset while connected to the EZIO8SA, per instructions. Got the confirming double-beep a bit after I let go of the SET button. Connected to the PC and got this: So not 80 00 00 06 but 00 00 03 06 Does that help identify where the problem might be?

So for "Factory Reset" that's the Press and Hold the SET button in while plugging the EZICOMM back in and hold SET until it the beeping stops. Then it'll buzz/beep again. I should do this while the EZIO8SA is connected, right to it, right? There is no separate EZIO8SA reset that I know of. Then go to ISY Admin Console and try to add the device? Or, unplug the EZIO8SA and connect the EZICOMM to the computer and run Docklight again? Thanks much

Thanks @Brian H, but if you don't mind, can we get specific on the steps I need to take? I think they are, in order: Connect PLM to EZ8IO with ethernet cable Plug PLM into power Plug EZ8IO wall wart into power ??? I'm not sure what I'm debugging here. My problem is that my ISY isn't recognizing the EZ8IOSA device properly. It comes in as "unsupported device." Do I reset the EZIOCOMM while it's connected? How am I using the connection cable from the EZIOCOMM to the PC if that means the EZ8IOSA can't also be connected at the same time? Sorry again, I'm very confused at this point.

I also connected the SHN utility and tried connecting through that: But, I don't have any instructions or idea of what I'm doing. Note that when the PLM is connected to the laptop, the EZIO8SA box itself is not connected to anything, since there's only one RJ-45 out of the PLM. So, I'm a bit confused as to what I should be doing. Sorry for all the newbie questions. I actually am reasonably technical, but not at this kind of low-level stuff.

OK, got DockScript and the PLM.ptp file and did some of the preliminary commands: What's my next debugging step here? TIA

Sorry guys, but I'm having newbie problems. I got the cable from Smartenit connect it to my EZICOMM (which has just been reset) and to my laptop and I see that it's using COM5. I then try Hyperterminal, configured thusly: But nothing works. When I type characters I get these weird symbol characters: What am I doing wrong? Should I use something other than HyperTerminal? I'm on Windows 10 but also have a Mac.

OK, just to update - I got my cable and now need to hook things up and run some software. I'm going out of town later tonight, so won't be able to pick this up again until Mon/Tues next week. Thanks for all you'alls help here.

Ugh, so I looked everywhere and I don't have the RJ-45 to RS-232 cable. Do I need to make one up from parts, or can I buy one somewhere?

OK, time to dredge through my boxes to see if I have a PLM cable....

I don't have a cable to connect my EZICOMM to a serial port. How to I buy/make one? I reset my EZICOMM by unplugging, waiting 10+ seconds, holding down the SET button while plugging it in and holding until it beeps. I tried both startup sequences in terms of applying power - no change in outcome. Even when I specify the type it changes almost right away to Unsupported. Thanks for all your help and suggestions, btw.

Still comes in as unsupported device. I do have a USB to serial, I have the SHN program and have used various terminal programs before. What I don't understand is how to wire from the RS-232 to the PLM thingy - it's got the RJ-45 port only. Do I need to build a wire to go from RS-232 (and which pins) to RJ-45, or something else?

OK, so I changed the ethernet cable (another very short one) and tried again, this time specifying the EXIO8SA type. Same results, unfortunately: EZIO8SAAdd.txt Something has changed since I was able to add the EZIO8SA some time ago. I have an ISY backup that has the EZIO8SA added properly, but it doesn't respond to my ON/OFF requests. If I remove it and try to re-add it, it adds as an "unknown" device. I'm OK trying to debug further, but I'll need to know what stuff to get and how to configure. Any help/pointers much appreciated!

I'm using the wall wart that came with the unit. I just measured it at 12.03 volts, so it's good. I did reconnect in the order you suggested, and still can't add it. Here's the log file: Log.txt At this point, do I assume the PLM is bad? Anyone want to sell me a working EZIO8?

OK, Did the Restore Device for the EZIO8SA. Didn't change anything. Is that done through the SHN utility? What do I need to be able to try that out? thanks!

Given the lack of support or replacement parts, are there other low voltage contact closure relays I could use with my ISY to interact with another system? I do have a few IOLincs, but getting more isn't cheap and that's only 1 relay and input per (now) expensive module. For instance there's the "Zooz Z-Wave Plus S2 MultiRelay ZEN16" unit. I don't have any Z-Wave in my ISY system today, what would it take to use that?
