Then you will still be running. v4, similar to running MSDos. Beta means all the 1000s of devices are not installed yet. Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk

..or jack up the price to pay for a support person. People here are happy to help donating their time and actually have used the equipment, instead of just reading a fake AI monitor with a language translator. Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk

@CoolToys Yeah I thought about trying the split IP address technique. Trouble with that is, when a device connects and asks for an IP address assignment from the DHCP server, both routers would see only it's MAC address and both attempt to assign it an IP address from both ranges. There is no "steering" mechanisms. This is not "bridge mode". That could be done with most routers but then the user supplied router, in bridge mode, has it's DHCP server disabled. Only the master router assigns IP addresses and contains the NAT storage. Using the Bell HH4K DHCP server is the problem. There is no backup/restore facility. PPPoE was the real only way this could work, allowing the HH4K router to just act like a dumb modem, and Bell has disabled this function in their routers. Bell will not allow and will not support another modem on their fibre lines. The Netgear went back for refund. I am considering a different ISP now.

Looks like this will only be the second upgrade I won't install since v3.xxx when I bought my ISY994. Too scary and the upgrades don't matter yet.

I think that should have been (typo) $Timer -= 1 For more complete If $sTimer > 0 Then Repeat While device is OFF <---- avoid repeated useless comm traffic if desired Set device ON Repeat 1 time(s) Wait 1 second $sTimer -= 1 Else Set device Off Now to turn device on for X seconds, and automagically turn it off after X seconds. $sTimer = X

IIRC the automotive industry still calls them condensors. Yes. I only use five RGBW strip controllers now after moving. I have had a few power supplies go dead on me, but never create noise, that I know of. I still run them, along with 17 x RGBCW bulbs, 3 x RGBW bulbs, and 2 x WW/CW floor lamps via my MagicHome software. They all work well for the last 5-6? years. They keep bringing out new styles of bulbs and I have to hack the differences to tweak the code. The special effects are handy for notifications of people outside the door, and midnight (go to bed) reminders.

So this "condenses" down to a component that was afraid of the dark?

I wrote my own interface and had to update the firmware many times each time a new version of the bulbs came out. Then white variations use a completely different level technique also. I have them all compensated with patches now and they work well. I can control up to 10 bulbs simultaneously on the fly with some ISY program code and 3 NRs. All software is contained inside my polisy. Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk

Tariffs are starting on all sides. I buy my equipment, made in UK or S.E Asia anyway. Things are not healthy with this trade war somebody started. It's a way for our governments to take money out of our pockets and many happily support it.

Oh Jeez. You mean we are going to hear... 'are we almost there yet?' ....'are we almost there yet?' . . . . . . . .'are we almost there yet?' over and over? Reminds me of V5.0.1 Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk

Plus or minus 90 days, based on the coding world realities.

Sounds like two guys in Michigan are already setting up a date. Here's hoping you don't have to pay a tarrif on my Canadian data bits.

Complete failure. Double NAT does not seem to be a working option and turning off DHCP would hang the system with no DNS service, causing no accces to the Internet. I suspect switches, instead of the old hubs, are a problem for devices (DHCP servers) on the side as they cannot intercept packets between other devices. I tried a new Netgear WiFi 7 router in PPoE setting with the same problem. Another website suggested using ADMZ in the Bell router but it hung the router completely, every time on both Bell routers each time. After rebuilding the DHCP table (about 8-10 hours) each time I discovered another blog about Bell destroying usage of ADMZ on their routers. https://itnerd.blog/2023/08/28/a-firmware-update-for-bells-hh4000-seems-to-have-broken-advanced-dmz-functionality/ Looks like a business account is necessary (router allows static IPs and can back-up data) with Bell or another ISP that allows user equipment. One tech, admitted they cannot support and do not want any other routers on their systems. They have a hard time creating enough "AI" to support a simplified router/modem. Rebuilt the DHCP tables again. However I do notice the Bell WiFi reaches lamp bulbs around the concrete walls better than the Netgear did.

Put in a ticket and I am sure somebody will be able to help you to fix your problem. UDI is excellent for service, and empathy towards their customers.

I thought you were going to give the old humour thing. I couldn't get my lights back on to fix the problem and now I am burning the midnight oil using a flashlight that is getting dimmer. Another analogous one is MS telling you to go to www.fixYou2.com for help with your ethernet card that has crapped out. Now to return to our regularly scheduled program. Hope you get that eISY running again. I have two polisys, and they are good machines.
