Yes. Minor issues, but otherwise is a LOT of new capability compared to the production version. Beta still lacks a couple of key features that make it difficult for my purposes (cannot add nodes to groups or folders, cannot see node scene membership, missing network resources) but I can fill in some of the missing features with UDMobile.

My sunset-based programs appear to be working now, presumably a result of updating to UI 1.3.6

I fear that this may not be true. It has already quit working for me (MacOS). If I remember correctly, this is the fate that awaits us all unless we keep a computer at some state in time that supports Java, and it may happen sooner than we expect..

I think I found it. It is under the menu>>>settings:

I understand that time and sunset settings are not available to be seen or modified on the EISY-UI. Still, some of my programs with sunset-based conditions seem to work, but one program has quit triggering. Is this a known condition. Is anyone else experiencing sunset/sunrise conditions not triggering?

I tend to agree with this assessment. I suspect wifi is not the best protocol for much of the home automation system. I will add that I am not sure that higher-end wifi systems guarantees better results. Or, perhaps my netgear orbi system is not as high-end as I would have expected. I especially agree with the concerns about upgrading my wifi system. The thought of re-adding 60+ devices in my house, with all the static IP addresses is not something that I want to do. I have no plans to use matter switches, outlets, keypads, bulbs, or plug-in modules. My only current interest in matter is for specialty lighting devices such as some of the govee outdoor color lights and similar, unique specialty items. For the record, I am not casting blame on the EISY for my own problems with matter. I suspect it is a broader issue than any single element.

I just noticed that you are running EISY-UI. The suggestion (and method I used) was to reinstall all plugins from PG3X. Perhaps this matters.

I do not recall mine doing this. But...I often used two devices to do this. One had google home open. The other had UD Mobile open. Perhaps this matters. I have taken a break from matter. I have tried a handful of matter devices. I have eventually (Some took multiple attempts. Most required starting with google or Alexa first, then sharing. I was able to directly pair only two matter devices.) was able to get them all linked up. I have only a single Matter-over-thread devices. The rest use wifi. In 100% of the cases, matter connectivity eventually fails. Sometimes a device loses wifi connection, but other times wifi is still connected but matter control is "offline". Sometimes the offline condition of matter affects all controllers (google, Alexa, EISY), sometimes it affects only EISY. I have decided that it is not worth it for me to spend these hours trying to figure it out, or try to fix it when it fails. Matter devices are now controlled (on/off) via smart plug or equivalent.

Ugh. Do you suppose it is related to being a Polisy vs EISY? Well founded, in retrospect.

Hey, @Guy Lavoie , @sjenkins I ended up submitting a ticket. They responded quickly and asked whether I was on EISY-UI or PG3X (my problem appeared in either case) without explanation of why or how that mattered. I was also having simultaneous problems syncing various instances of UDMobile, but did not think to try to use UDMobile to solve this problem. Their suggestion was to "reinstall all plugins" from PG3X. This seemed to work. Hopefully, whatever caused the failure originally was not a new bug in the latest versions of the EISY. Oh, yes. FYI I had tried this without much.

Maybe. I am wondering if I should initiate a ticket for this.

I guess it depends on the question. If the question is "why did my admin console suddenly quit working", then I don't see an answer in your link. I had been using the java admin console up until today. I am unaware of any changes to my OS or installed java version. Unfortunately, I am finding the current version of the HTML version takes more steps to do things. I also miss (or have yet to find) where I can see all the group (aka scene) memberships for a given device.

My plugin is "disconnected" with a notice about an update. When I choose "update", it takes me to the plugin store page. So far, so good. Unfortunately, when I choose "update", nothing seems to happen and my plugin remains disconnected and non-functional.

Well, I guess I am committed to using the new HTML admin console. My java version has started to fail (locks up during use) and I now cannot load a new one to my Mac mini. I cannot load the latest Java Run Time Environment because "because this application is not supported on this Mac." When I download and try to run a copy of the "start.jnlp" file, it fails because "Apple could not verify “start.jnlp” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy". I am unsure what changed recently (it was working a few days ago).

Indeed, it is in the current beta version. I just never found it. Thanks.
