I don't know of anything else that uses java anymore except maybe a few vehicle O/Ses.

For non-automation controls ie: manually (human) operated, trigger a program to operate the scene in ISY. With manual operations a few milliseconds of delay is not perceptible.

polISY -------- Updated to v6.0.5 from v6.0.4. Went smoothly. Asked for and needed a reboot to operate properly. IoX needed no updating and java cache was not cleared.

I had an ISY and a polISY running together at one point in time. I set up a bank of variables duplicated in both devices. I wrote a program detecting if each variable changed and would send it via the Network Resources into the REST protocol to set the equivalent variable in the other device. Since I run most of my lighting scenes and levels via state variable already, it was a piece of cake to have one device doing logic and sensing, while the other operated my WiFi based lighting systems. Eventually all got ported to the newer poLISY but the system worked like a charm during the port over. No delays were noted.

BC just dumped DST time changes now too. A different time makes very little difference between two areas for any aspect I can think of.

Doug Ford has had a bill passed for Ontario to dump DST and it was approved several years ago. However, apparently there is some eastern seaboard group that has to approve it along with NY, PQ, and Ontario to stay synchronised, they are waiting for. Micro-globalisation? 😄

If only ISY could do conditional logic! 😆

You likely need to disable the battery operated device interrogations also. I found ISY would hang up for hours and hours if you had it enabled and had a lot of battery devices it could not "scrape". It retries for a long time on each device.

I guess that is why this is about the 20th thread asking why the links don't work anymore. I have saved links from these threads about 5 times now and every one has quit working, even the wiki links. I don't bother attempting to save them anymore.

Same here but you need to have the IoX finder first. Links to that constantly have changed and have never worked a year later after an update.

I had it bookmarked also but that quit working about 6 months ago again. That is what I am doing here again, annually...LOL

This will all come up again in a years time and I will ask again. One method has never worked more than twice yet for years now. I have given up trying to document a method that will be useless next year.. LOL

The java cache must be one of the problems here. Where else would it get v6.0.0 to report? However, the credentials input box states, to use my portal credentials and my local credentials haven't worked for a month or two now shortly after the new credential login technique started. As the OP stated in his concern, the technique keeps changing and the method of recovery works for a short while each time and other times not at all. The Iox Finder was tooted to self adapt to various versions and this would not be required anymore. My take is that the technique attempted must not have worked out.. Every time my IoX Finder tops working I post in the forum and get a different technique to recover. That seems to be the only way currently. Thanks all.

Thanks. That got me this but when run anyway, got me the windows 11 taskbar compatible launch link. Where the v6.0.0 came from, is beyond me.. However, now my ISY Portal credentials do not function to get me IoX access. The old admin/password doesn't work with this either and locks me out. Geeesh....this keeps getting worse. I guess I am sticking to the java launch icon (start.jnlp) . So tired of fighting with this every update. Every saved link, so far, has disappeared or stopped functioning. The latest install link technique never works the next update.

That never appears in my IoX Finder. Any links I had to update or load the latest IoX are defunct now, again. This happens every upgrade so I feel his pain. I have not been able to find or install the proper IoX avatar/link since the last upgrade now. The older one I am using will not install on the windows 11 task bar on the Desk top screen.

Yes they are English words and it conceals true meanings from most AI forms. I don't need to be referred to a phone number with a message telling me to go to www.BSunlimited.circle to get help from their AI where I was instructed to phone the first place. ☹️ 😀

Thanks. Worked for polisy also with" https://polisy.local:8443/desc

Careful of the names you addresss them by, and stereotypes you assume. If those AIkins become offended, we have no idea what they are capable of yet.

If . . . .you are able to program Then . . . .it can be a lot of fun . . . . While . . . . . . . .you are still young enough AND NOT stressed out

I just remembered something from the old days. When we were limited to X megabytes per day/month etc.. our ISP would send out the router reset signal and a router would take about 1-2 minutes to reset and reconnect to everything again. They controlled the bandwidth by that method. That is when I found out that all router companies support that low level signal and I couldn't buy a new router out of that nasty habit. The ISP was taken into a hearing and promised to discontinue that practice after the policing body in Canada threatened them. Again, it only works with a fully functioning router.

That sounds awesome however if your router is crashed it may not pay attention to remote signals at all. With my three ASUS router mesh I found a reboot would not clear some of the hangs and only a power cyclic would fix some of the weird things. Sometimes one of them would decide certain devices were not allowed to access the Internet outside world. Nothing would ever show a problem, DHCP table issued an IP address, they could talk to other LAN things but the flag inside that enabled/disabled WAN access must have gotten forgotten somehow. In the end I decided that ASUS did not allow enough EROM memory for all the details it need to keep and just overran the memory without warning. I think I spent half a lifetime on those routers. Nice features but a second one, and a third one did not help. Only made the problems more complicated. ☹️

Strange. With FAT = FAT16 there was only 2^16 sectors (65536) at 256bytes each = 16MB Was there different releases of the ISY hardware that could address larger sectors? Storage technology did change very fast back then. Did ISY hardware become FAT12 or FAT32? IIRC there was also some 2MB restriction (ISY was supplied with 2MB SD cards) there also and if you didn't partition the SD card at 2MB it could eventually overflow the 2MB limit and crash the system without any warning.

The only thing I remember about those pieces of junk is the unit I received had the IR sender was wired in reverse polarity and I could never get it to work properly. I could not get passed the memorize the IR codes I tried to program it with, and then ISY would not recognize it properly. When I tried to send it back under Insteon's warranty, they replied, sure..not problem but the $50 CAD cost to return it for warranty services was almost the cost of a new unit. Poor warranty for a newly purchased device. Buh-bye old Insteon failure. (Glad to see new blood there) Garbage. As IR was dying very quickly I attempted to find other ways and other equipment that didn't use IR, or also supported WiFi control.

I have thought about the eISY many times but everytime I add up the aartech.ca price and include the matter dongle (still using my old PLM) and add taxes, and shipping, it gets to be $1000 and way too big of a jumps since my $99 ISY introduction.
