I did a GOOGLE search for "calendar node servers" but out of all the ones found, which one would be the most appropriate for use with my ISY994? I also obtained a program "ddmmyyyy.isy". Could you point me to somewhere that enplanes the use of an isy file. Does all of this require an internet connection to function? I have been programming my ISY994 for many years but only using what's generically provided.

Not all months have the same number of days, for instance Feb. What am I missing. In the above program if I set "some number" equal to 31 aren't there months that will not trigger the "then" path?

Just tried the new update but when applying it I got an error part way through the update process. Tried a second time and the 2nd time it worked. Go figure. Anyway now the VE command shows 2.8.13

My backup is in the mail. I'm still wondering what are the three devices 99, 992 and 994?

I managed to recover from my upgrade. 1- Hold the ISY99 reset button in for at least two reset cycles as observed on the serial port using Hyperterm, about 40 seconds. 2- Connected using the admin console. Note that everything gets reset back to factory defaults. 3- Did a manual firmware update back to 2.8.10 4- Restored the ISY99 state from the backup for 2.8.10 Now I'm functional although my firmware is at 2.8.10

Tried the update again following the directions at the beginning of this thread and now the ISY is unresponsive. While I was upgrading I had Hyperterm connected and here is what was output ......... note the memory error at the very last line.

I noticed in the list of changes that it says under enhancements "support for pro series". Does that mean previous updates didn't support the ISY99i-pro? Also I notice that there are three choices for downloads. For an ISY99i-Pro which link does one choose? What are the differences between the three choices of downloads?

The upgrade did not complete for me. I followed the exact instructions at the beginning of this thread but part way through the update process I get a pop that says ........... "Upgrade Failed:Failed uploading file (reported written size is invalid)" I have tried the update sequence three times with the same results. What's Next?[/img]

I just read through some of the earlier posts and noticed that it was stated that the server was chopping off pieces of the download so I downloaded the file again and am still experiencing the same problems. The file size as shown in file manager both before and after re-downloading is 3,255 KB. Since I have upgraded using an apparently corrupt file how do I recover from this? I tried using my backup and reverting back to 2.8.8 but now I always get an error.

Since I'm off from work today I decided to look into why the 2.8.9 upgrade seems to go correctly but remains reported in the "About" as 2.8.8. First thing that I did was to try and manually upgrade one more time (I have done this several times previously without errors) but this time I received an error pop-up stating "Upgrade Failed:Failed uploading file (reported written size is invalid)". If I connect using Hyper-Term and issue a "RS" command I get the following. Note that there is a complaint about a missing file. I am willing to allow a remote login if that would help. ############################## http://192.168.1.100:11080>RS Flushing all log files Flushing logger at index 0 Flushing logger at index 1 Goodbye!

Just manually updated for the third time. The update process appears to have finished correctly but I too noticed that the revision displayed in "About" still states 2.8.8 .

Thanks for the response. My setup has been on all day and as you stated the ISY eventually got whatever it needed because the errors have stopped. I checked the router and its DHCP service is enabled with the beginning address set to 192.168.1.100 with 50 users possible and 1 day lease time. I just don't like errors if they can be avoided. Thanks again

I haven't used my ISY lately but with the holiday season coming up I thought that I would dust off some of last years lighting programs. When I sat down at my computer I noticed that the "MEM' and "ERROR" LEDs on the ISY-99 were blinking on for about 1 second at what appear to be random intervals. Anywhere form a minute to several minutes. I have done and noticed the following with no change in the symptoms; 1-Changed the network cable between my ISY-99 and WRT54G with a known good cable. 2-I can open a WEB browser connection to the ISY and control various lights around the house with no problem. 3-I connected to the ISY using HyperTerm and the ISY serial port. That is where I see the message "Network Cable Disconnected or DHCP Server Error" being printed out. The message shows up and then the two LEDs blink. 4-The PLM/Info status says "E.DA.E4v72/Connected" 5-The about box shows .... My Lighting : uuid:00:21:b9:00:00:94 - Isteon_UD99 v.2.7.6 Product : ISY 99i Pro (1040) --Open Auto-DR (21010) My URL : http://192.168.1.100:11080/ Internet Access : Disabled Has anyone seen this or a similar problem and what can be done to eliminate the error messages?

I think I may have found the problem. The other day I had some problems while upgrading. Somewhere along the line the current ISY time was changed. It was off by several hours. Thanks for the copy/pate tip. I knew it could be done from reading other posts. Thanks again.

As a new ISY owner I wanted to control my Xmas lights using a simple program. My intent was to have the lights come on at sunset and go off somewhere between 11:00 and 11:30 every day. Sounds simple enough. I implemented the program below which I thought would do what I wanted but it doesn't. What seems to happen is at sunset the lights come on but some time afterwards (not sure yet when this happens) the lights go out. When I notice that the lights are not on if I use an X10 controller to turn the lights back on they stay on until 11:00-11:30. Here is the program, what could be wrong? BTW, how does one cut and paste program code into this post? I had to type it in . If From Sunset To 11:00:00PM (same day) Then Send X10 'C13/On (3)' Else Wait 30 minutes (Random) Send X10 'C13/Off (11)'

After I tried to update to 2.6.13 I can no longer connect to the ISY. It's an ISY-99i PRO. When I connect to the debug port using Hyperterm I see a prompt that says "nb>". Looking back through the Hyperterm buffer I found a line of text saying "Decomp Failed, No Valid app". If I try "BOOT" I get "Decomp Failed". If I try "Reset" I get the following " nb>ResetWaiting 2sec to start 'A' to abort Decomp Failed No Valid app Universal Devices NBUD-70-100 Monitor V1.0 Jun 13 2007 15:27:39 HELP for help nb> " What can I do to straighten this out?
