  1. Try turning your output powers to about 25% and check again. Some of these router's antennae cannot handle that much power without distorting the waveforms IMHO, and work much better with less power output. Alternatively, try turning down just the 5GHz strength and leave the 2.4GHz turned up.
  2. I use scenes and programs like this, Alexa...turn on xxxx lights Alexa...turn on dim lights Alexa... turn on very dim lights Alexa...turn on TV lights (slowly dims and colour tunes bulbs before bed every 30 min.) Alexa...turn off xxx lights These all control programs that may operate scenes and/or WiFi bulbs together. Create scenes with useful levels, as needed, and work with them.
  3. There is a file in the ISY that dictates the UUID number that acts up with some older ISYs. UDI had a fix for me. I can't remember how but one module needed to be updated or retimed.
  4. The only thing I control with my Alexa speakers are ISY programs, and then they can operate, and do, whatever I want them to. All devices have the same vocal syntax ...Alexa, Turn On dim lights ...Alexa, Turn On very dim lights ...Alexa, Turn On bright lights ...Alexa Turn Off all lights ...Alexa, Turn On Christmas lights ...Alexa, Turn on TV lights ...Alexa, Turn On red lights No set or level commands ever used. It keeps it simple and easy to remember.
  5. I didn't think the ecobee remote sensors send a battery voltage. My stats just report no response from a sensor when the battery gets too low. That indicates to me it's just a time out lack of response.
  6. Either way you will likely have purchase the USB to microIDE adapter. I did this to upgrade my polisy and I can't believe how easy it was. The adapter was about $11 CAD and came in 2 days from Amazon without Prime. The hardest part was taking the screws out of the case and putting them back in again. Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk
  7. The difference is "status" vs "control" verbage. "Switched" is a bit of an assumption by users now.
  8. If your polisy BIOS is too old things may not update and brick the polisy. @Michel Kohanim gave me a link to a USB/micro -IDE programmer on amazon. I removed the SSD inside the polisy and ran the programmer with image he supplied and my polisy came right up. Then I updated to the latest version and I was back in business. IIRC the USB/microIDE programmer adapter was about $11 CAD. Contact UDI support, and open a ticket. They will help you through it pronto.
  9. Remove the system and give a rebate. We have seen this before and it usually doesn't result in a happy ending.
  10. No screenshots. Right click on the program title in the program tree and select "copy to clipboard" Then paste it into a code box in your post. '<>' All the details will be there and the format much clearer.
  11. Just enter the admin console and click "upgrade" on the rightmost tab. Then open your java setup app under "Control Panel" in Windows, and delete all java files (three check boxes) Re-install Iox Finder https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp Execute the start.jnlp file it installs in your computer. It will install a further link with a nice UDI avatar in it. Move to your favourite launch position. When executed it should automatically find your polisy, or eISY. If not manually install your device URL into to and show it the way. Note:java will likely complain about installing a new version. Do it.
  12. First time for this one.
  13. I own two polisys and two ISY994s. The ISY994s won't do what I want without a RPi as a bridging unit to talk to my WiFi bulbs so I upgraded to a polisy. The polisy contains my own software and works quite well. I run v5.8.0 and AFAIK the polisy and Eisy are equivalent to each other, as far as firmware goes, for home automation things. If you have a polisy, I would stick with that for the next few years unless you see some clear reason to upgrade for some reason. If your ISY994 does the job, for the same logic, keep it working. Get a few more years out of it.
  14. I have owned many routers over the years and not one ever had a separate area for static IP assignments. I use many static IP address but, they are always fixed within the routers LAN assigned area and made static by using the router's DHCP reservation table. I have experienced way too many IP address collisions over the years, and the results are not always obvious because your router is not aware of them. Collisions can plague your system for months before finding them with random unrelated devices acting strangely. It's your only option with ISY devices now.
  15. Static IP addresses need to be assigned by your router's DHCP reservation table to avoid potential massive LAN problems. UD and followers got tired of newbies constantly messing up their LANs and it was eventually disabled in ISY boxes Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

  17. I am only a very seldom user of ISY mobile and only use it on vacation out of the country mostly. I have used some graphic gui interfaces on other softwares and prefer less gui for so many devices, over the visual scanning over tiny icons and trying to remember what they are supposed to be with their 16x16 bit graphic blurs. The other option would be graphic displays of rooms with icons strewn around the picture. Text lists of objects with real words that describe objects work much better for me. Maybe 4K monitors or phone screens are not enough as I haven't ever carried a magnifying glass, yet. Coming from am 8 bit and text environment I find the mobile app very worktable, not fancy but I have no idea how one would improve the idea...4 directional scrolling to look for that temperature sensor?

  18. I have heard many claims regarding Java running under a unix workalike but nobody ever seems to know how to make it actually work. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  19. Copy and paste your program into a post here using admin console so others may see something. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk
  20. Do you have a condition in your folder?
  21. WoL is an option inside the Win low level setup and could be disabled. Also, as I was informed here, when polISY/eISY was newer and didn't support WoL, some devices use a different command protocol than the older WoL style that ISY uses.
  22. Looks like more of the same problem. You have changed platforms and the names of the programs have not been arsed into the proper links to make your system work. As per @paulbates in the other thread. Try editing each program and saving it. Don't forget to hit the "save" button after. IIRC you must edit the program before saving it or the ISY AI may assume it isn't required. This is the problem I was attempting relay in my last post. Internal linking inside ISY is done by numeric location, not names. Programs don't run other programs by their names, but rather by their numeric location. When moving ISY contents to another platform, the problems, I had, were due to not "recompiling" the system and expecting it to work with everything scrambled into new locations.
  23. Be very careful and aware that links inside ISY are based on the numeric location of items such as programs, variables, and networking module elements, etc..., and not their names. If you have deleted a program and reinstalled it the reference number will likely be different and things like ISY Portal/ Alexa/GH connections will not work anymore. They do not work by names.
  24. I do not use any looping timer programs without as many as four times each day that restart each program. In addition they all use the [Run at Startup] to restart them upon power failures or reboots. DST time changes have been argued about here for almost a decade. There are many different types of cases where no one algorithm is not going to work. I really doubt a complete solution will ever be offered. Any X minute loop programs will never execute any logic between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM when the clocks move forward, be totally confused, and cannot offer a solution, that pleases all cases, when every minute between 2:00 AM to 2:59 AM occurs twice during the same night. It would seem the only solution for automation programs using loop timing is to stop the governments from changing the clocks twice per year.
  25. @Geddy I think you hit the head on the nail there. There is no such ISY syntax as And ( switchB is on or switchC is on ) It seems like the OP is using multiple "Switched on " logic statements, dependent on each other, which can never be both true at the same time. Again ACTUAL PROGRAM NEEDED
