First, you need to go to the top level ZWave menu and back up ZWave. Go to Admin Console - ZWave - Backup. If given a choice do a complete backup. Now you can go to File - Backup ISY and the ZWave back will be included.

Sorry you have to wait a bit longer.

Yes, you want a State variable to trigger a program. You created an integer variable. Look at your screenshot, right above ID, it says Integer and that is the tab you are on. To the right of that is State tab. Click on the word State and then create your variable and update your programs to use the new variable. Another reason to use the naming conventions called out in my previous post. The ISY doesn't poll the systems. Programs run when they are triggered, either true which runs Then or false which runs Else. No, there is not.

You can do both, but I would suggest also checking the PG3 log, not just the node server log.

This is a long shot, but maybe a weak power supply? Try another, 12 volt DC, 2 amp power supply as a test.

Power cycling and trying again?

First, only a state variable will trigger a program, an integer variable will not trigger a program. After time, when you start adding variables, it becomes difficult to remember what type of variable you are working with. This is important for troubleshooting. Therefore, best practice is to start an integer variable with a "i" and a state integer with an "s". To insure the else section runs, add a trigger that makes the statement false when set to 0. In you original example, for the If portion try: If $Vacation is 1 Or $Vacation is Not 0

Your eisy uuid can't change. I think you need to shutdown, remove power, start up, clear Java cache including deleting applications, download a new start.jnlp from here: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp After downloading run the program and you will have a new IoX Launcher on your desktop. After clicking on the Launcher, if your eisy is not found, try https://eisy.local:8443/desc. If that doesn't work, check your router for the eisy IP address and click add in the Launcher and enter: https://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8443/desc Replace the x's with your eisy IP address. If you are still having a problem try the troubleshooting steps here: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Eisy:User_Guide#Can't_Find_eisy

The PG3 UI will be available at https://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:3000, where the X's should be replaced by your eisy's IP address. You will get a Chrome security warning, but you should be able to accept the risk and continue to the IP address. From the wiki: eisy (PG3) Dashboard You will be prompted with a security warning by your browser because eisy uses a self-signed certificate. Please ignore the warning. You are then presented with the login screen. The default username is admin and default password is admin. Please make sure you change your default username/password once you login. The login of admin/admin assumes you haven't changed it for eisy, since PG3 now uses the same login as eisy. Also, you will need to login to the portal prior to being able to login to PG3x.

Check the PG3x Polyglot log. Sounds like either PG3x is crashing or you are dropping the network connection.

One question, did you try the two presses of the multifunction button? The reason I suggested that is some early eisy's become stuck in wifi mode and didn't release to Ethernet and no connection was ever made.

Each device can have it's own Favorites. You can copy from one device to the other, as long as it is the same platform (android vs iOS), by making a backup and importing to the other devices. Instructions are in the wiki For your second issue, you are in edit mode. Edit mode is toggled on/off by the pencil icon in upper right corner. Spend sometime reading the instructions in the wiki, there is a lot of customizations that can be done. For example, changing colors for on/off

Is enabling the Vacation folder's date/time setting a manual operation? This could be automated using a button press or even UD Mobile - just something to consider. Also, your date and time is done by adding a folder condition to enable the folder for a certain period. Just be aware, that folder conditions can sometimes be unreliable. Therefore, if your program fails to run or runs when it shouldn't, check your folder conditions. Also, since the If portion of your Vacation folder doesn't contain an If statement, there is nothing to actually trigger your program to run. The folder condition just says ok, you are allowed to run, but you need an If statement to trigger run then or else. I hope that makes sense. If you only have one program, the date/time could be in the If portion of the program and eliminate the folder condition. There are several ways of doing this. Since you can enable/disable a program from a program (a disabled program will not run from the If statement, but can be run manually) my suggestion would be as follows. I would suggest eliminating the folder condition. Use your Hot Water Sink program and then add another program as follows: If: From 6:27:00AM on 2023/02/26 To 9:30:00PM on 2023/03/19 Then: Disable program Hot Water Sink Set 'Hot Water Sink / Hot Water Sink' Off Else: Enable program Hot Water Sink You can add a turn on to your else statement, or just let your 1st program turn on by itself after being enabled.

Yes, the best one is created by UD and it is called UD Mobile. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=UD_Mobile

Yes,that dongle is still supported, you just won't have ZMatter support once completely implemented. Glad you are up and running.

I believe a post at the bottom of this thread by bpwwer provides the best possible explanation: I'm not sure what that link does. My assumption is that it sets a variable telling the Polisy that it should install PG3x instead of PG3 when doing updates. It should also remove PG3 and install PG3x. and then restart everthing. When PG3x first starts, it will check to see if it needs to migrate the database/node servers from PG3 to PG3x and will then proceed to do that. Depending on how many node servers are installed, this can take some time. It should send notices to the PG3x UI for each node server it migrates. Expect at least 30 seconds to 1 minute for each node server. If you interrupt this process you'll probably end up with some node servers migrated and some not so don't be in a rush, take your time. It also logs the migration progress in the PG3x log file so if something does go wrong, downloading the PG3x log and attaching that to any support request (ticket or forum/PM). I believe it does not try to start the node servers after it migrates them so they should all be in the disconnected state and you have to manually start each one. The migration should not effect any configuration or existing nodes. My testing involved migrating 30+ node servers multiple times (so yes, it takes quite a while to run) and I didn't see any issues, but I can't account for all the different environments and combinations of node servers. There's no easy way to go back to PG3. In theory, the variable can be cleared, PG3 can be re-installed and restored from a PG3 backup and it should work. There's probably some other stuff that PG3x did that will need to be cleaned up, but it should work. This hasn't been tested so for now, best to consider it a one-way migration. If you try https://polisy.local:8443/rest/pg3x.enable and it doesn't work, please submit a support ticket.

I am using Schlage door lock with no issues using UD's new Zwave ZMatter dongle found here: https://www.universal-devices.com/product/zmatter-usb-enclosure/ You need to follow best practices for adding ZWave devices (for example excluding before adding) and then it works fine.

Sounds like this step was missed from the instructions: Restore from PG3 backup on eisy using the "Migrate from PG3 Backup" option.

Short answer is yes, you could do this by testing for running programs or by using a variable. However, for specific assistance, I think it would be best if you pasted your existing programs here. To do this, right click on each program name and at the bottom of the pop up list select copy to clipboard. Then paste here in a reply. After posting your programs tell us what you would like to have done.

Tell us more about your system, what ZWave dongle are you using? Firmware version 5.4.5 had a bug that caused the upgrade packages function to get stuck in a loop. If you know how to ssh in to Polisy you can verify this is what is happening. If you don't know, you best wait for UD support. To verify, ssh in to Polisy and type: sudo uname -a Post the output here, this will provide the package information. Next, type: sudo tail -f /var/udx/logs/log Then press the multifunction button one time and watch the ssh log you previously started. Check the output to see if the same entries keep repeating.

With eisy plugged in and turned on, check your router logs to make sure your router is not blocking eisy from receiving an IP address. It you don't find anything, try pressing the multifunction button two times, then wait awhile and check your router DHCP table for the eisy mac address. If you still find nothing at this point, pull the power plug, wait several minutes, plug power back in and check your router again after about 15 minutes.

Reboot Polisy

If you change the PLM you need to do a restore PLM. From the wiki: To replace a PLM: Unplug ISY from the power outlet Unplug the PLM from ISY and power outlet Connect ISY’s port A to the new PLM Plug the new PLM into a power outlet Plug ISY into a power outlet Go to Admin Console and wait for system initialization to complete If you have PRO Series, click on the Battery icon at the top. This will prevent ISY from trying to update programming on your RF devices which are probably in sleep mode Click on the Restore Modem (PLM) menu option In case ISY cannot communicate (or decides not to if an RF device/PRO Series) during the process, you will have a series of nodes with green 1011 icons in the device tree. For each one of those nodes: If an RF device, ensure that the device is in Programming mode Right mouse click | Write pending updates ... If the above procedure fails on many of your devices, it's highly recommended that you follow the instructions for Restore Devices. Restore Devices Selecting this menu option starts the ISY to use the current configurations settings stored within ISY, and reprograms all the INSTEON devices based on them. Upon completion, this operation reboots ISY and closes Admin Console. This operation is most useful when a PLM is replaced or if INSTEON devices and their logical representations on ISY are out of synch. This scenario might happen if INSTEON devices are manually linked without using ISY’s GUI. Please follow the instructions below: If you are replacing a PLM: Please make sure you reboot ISY with the new PLM before doing anything else Click on File | Restore ISY and restore a good backup. If you are replacing a defective PLM, choose a backup from right before the PLM died. This is a very important step Once ISY reboots, wait for the query to complete If you have PRO series, click on the Battery icon on the top right corner of the tool bar. This prevents ISY from trying to restore battery operated devices since they are sleeping and will not respond Please make sure ISY is in Ready state Click on File | Restore Devices - this will take a long while In case ISY cannot communicate (or decides not to if an RF device/PRO Series) during the process, you will have a series of nodes with green 1011 icons in the device tree. For each one of those nodes: If an RF device, ensure that the device is in Programming mode Right mouse click | Write pending updates or Write updates to device... For some newer INSTEON devices, you might have to repeat this step a couple of times since some devices may not go into linking mode If you have PRO series, click on the battery icon on the toolbar so that ISY goes back to normal mode. If you can still access admin console, I would suggest you make a back up from the File menu.

Honestly, I'm learning about the Ring node server with you. But if you want to post the log .maybe something will jump out at one of us.

Just to confirm, is the following under Control and not Status? Ring / Ring / Front Porch (Motion)' is switched Motion One other thing I think I remembered reading, are you using PG3x? Ring may not work with PG3. Is remote connection in PG3x enabled? Remote connection must be enabled Settings are in Portal under Select Tools | Maintenance | PG3 Remote connection Is there anything else in the Ring node server log besides what you already posted? Make sure ring alerts are enabled in app.
