Local PG3 configuration page served through portal?
Thanks, I'm probably heading back that way. Right now there is a W10 PC in the house that is getting a bit Swiss-army-knifed including "jump box" functions. Older but more than enough power (8) +2ghz cores and 24GB ram.. I use realvpn secure to access it from my ipad but need to start thinking about something else as the multiple uses sometimes bang into each other. I have the Merlin FW for my Asus router and it serves wireguard and open vpn directly, with more than enough horsepower: (4) 1.8ghz cores and 1GB ram and stability for my use cases. I consider Asus/Merlin to be the "ISY of routers".. Meaning It's a solid design, overpowered and just works. There's a lot of "plugins" / optional software for it and an active community writing things and supporting it. On my previous asus router I configured its open VPN server and used that for my travel job prior to retiring. My hesitation now is that I used DYNDNS to find my home's IP, and the router log showed that after doing so, it attracted a lot of attention to "things" trying to probe my network. Maybe I should see how security has changed in 5 years.

Local PG3 configuration page served through portal?
Would it be (or is it) possible to serve the local pg3 configuration page through the portal? Specifically I'm looking for what's served at x.x.x.x:3000/nsdetails/<UUID> that I manage my pg3 on eisy at home. The logical place would be on the PG3 menu on the portal. This functionality would parallel the remote access of iox remotely without opening firewall ports or needing a vpn. I'll be traveling for periods and the chance exists i need upgrade, get a log file, etc.

Yolink (3): Failed, then immediately re-connected
I started getting a few of these Failed notifications & immediate reconnect, vs occasional Disconnected and immediate reconnect. The frequency is low in both cases and that doesn't impact operations. I recently signed up for virtualarm.com monitoring through yolink and this started happening since that time. I'm fairly sure my setup is ok but wanted to validate that it's ok. I'm PMing my yolink debug level log.

Ceiling Fan Turning Off
It seems coincidental that the light goes off exactly 5 seconds after the change to 100%. I take it one or more programs is causing this. The group is Alexa Lights, are there Alexa routines involved? I'd start with starting the event viewer (highest level) sometime earlier and hope it runs during this time. Other ideas are to simplify by temporarily and systematically by one at a time disabling programs or its participation in alexa and see if it stops

Portal, Alexa & Samsung
I set up Alexa through ecobee. All went as expected/remembered in getting amazon/ecobee/isy connected When I looked for Samsung, it needs a smarthings account as a proxy. I stopped there. @sjenkins .. I'm willing to test what you have: 👆 those are all I'm looking for, if HDMI source is part of it (assuming its part of remote). I've carried remotes from older Samsungs forward, and the generic remotes from Walmart always doing the basics.. if that translates to the API, I'd be good with a "that's all this plugin does, nothing else" Appreciate you giving it try to see what's possible.

Smoke and Smoke/CO Sensors
Updating the profile did change the iox content on recommended self check. That and your notes are good.. I'd like to know if a detector should be checked even if I do it manually. To follow up on the first post, when I go to create and iox program to check that info, its not available in the drop down in the "If" under control.. these are the current options:
-
Smoke and Smoke/CO Sensors
Ok, I found it, "reinstall here". I'll take a look in iox
-
Smoke and Smoke/CO Sensors
Thanks. I stumbled around in the plugin store.. I can see how to reinstall all plugins, but not just yolink. I don't want to do that. I'll be ok waiting for your update with everything else. Thanks for the quick response. I can help with testing if needed
-
Smoke and Smoke/CO Sensors
Ok.. and glad to help check. Let me know. Thanks

Just installed Yolink hub and a couple devices - purchased PG3x Yolink nodeserver
You'll need to restart the plugin if you've installed the devices after setting up the hub and connecting it to your eisy. The devices will discover and load then (if that's the case)

Smoke and Smoke/CO Sensors
Question / comment 1: There aren't a lot of options for the If for smoke / smoke co like battery, is it possible to get those? A comment is that the temp/humidity sensor if statements are under Status, and the Smoke/Smoke CO under control. Question 2. When looking at iox, there is a field for "self check" that appears as "1'. I would l Iike to create notifications on failed selfcheck through the notification plugin as well. Provided that self check appears as part of making an "if", I'd like to know how to interpret. Guessing "1" is a pass as I self checked them all with the app, and "0" would be a fail?

Write Updates to device
If you haven't, pick a few devices, right click on them one at a time and pick "restore device".

Some devices arent responding to voice commands
That's what I would do. The plm losing it's pep could mean it's dying. Trying to fix insteon on the old plm will turn into charging your tail. if you can, do this Set up eisy with USB plm Pick an isy back up from before you started having problems if possible. Otherwise the plm problems may move to the eisy Restore the backup and restore plm. Plan on this part thougha while as the insteon problems get addressed here Deal with wireless devices and problems Back it up Review fix programs back up again

Some devices arent responding to voice commands
If you're going to upgrade to eisy directly, right now, and not continue using your isy, then I would get the USB version If you'll keep using your isy for some period prior to upgrading to eisy, you'll have to have the serial model. Because of the effort to migrate to a new plm, I would do it in a way that you only do it one time
-
Some devices arent responding to voice commands
The isy has a serial port, and the eisy has USB. If you get the serial now, they make a cable as a converter... I would really suggest that and not starting over again when you get an eisy
-
Some devices arent responding to voice commands
If you have an isy 994, then yes

Ecobee stopped working, on upgrade, and errors in log
Yep. I've been using the ecobee plugin for several months and don't have any problems with it
-
Ecobee stopped working, on upgrade, and errors in log
Unfortunately you are the victim of bad timing. On of the underlying pg3x support libraries changed (MQTT) and caused new installs of of plugins to break. I see MQTT error messages in your error log above. UDI will work to restore it tomorrow, read this thread

Copying program contents to a new program
You can also simply right click and "copy" the entire program and then rename it and "remove" the if and replace it with what you want

Configuring eisy to boot from an NVMe SSD without losing VMs
Right, understood Mark. I'm wondering if installing the drive makes it a different volume, etc, so that that HA vm script wouldn't work (?) Paul

Configuring eisy to boot from an NVMe SSD without losing VMs
Related question: I haven't added home assistant, and have no immediate plans to, but .. If I do this ssd upgrade process to my stock eisy, and at some point want to execute the script to add an HA VM to my eisy, would that script be exactly the same on the HW modified eisy?

Any way to change "unchangeable" EISY ports?
I would submit a ticket as this is something other users haven't run in to. I have to believe UDI will help you navigate this.

Portal, Alexa & Samsung
It was a close competition. We wanted to go up one screen size from the prior TV. Costco had 2 competitive TVs in that screen dimension, one Samsung and one LG. The TV I sold with my house was an LG and I told my wife that LG was a better UI, including that pointing cursor remote. But side by side, the picture of the Samsung was better and I would have regretted that.. the picture is really good. While LG also had pages of boiler plate to accept, they didn't have an HA solution being pressed on me.. setup was on the TV and much more simple
