In the new eisl-ui, there are 3 update repositories. Production, Beta, and Staging. This give UD the ability to tell you they could use your help or you need a feature/fix not yet ready for all users the Beta level or in rare cases the Staging level. The reason I asked is the 6.1.2 only shows under the Staging level from my view.

ARe you using the Staging Repo?

Just updated. Took about 15 minutes from start to reboot! First look at programs in eisy-ui looks good. Great job UD team!

I have it and it works with the Rin plugin.

What version of eISY and FreeBSD are you currently running. If it’s old, that’s when a full usb stick is required.

I have REST with local username and password using port 8080 on eISY

Thanks, Javi. Is I the fix for this coming relatively soon? Not rushing.

I will do the upgrade this weekend. Can anyone comment on the enhancement to scenes?

FWIW I’ve got a couple of the simplenet ezrain 8 zone controllers if you’re interested in a parts box if you’re interested.

I don’t know if MobiLinc still works. The last time I used it, it still worked. You could move back but I’d be surprised if that was needed since you only have Insteon it should be a slam dunk. Just make sure your PLM is either USB version or get the USB to serial device. Locate the official directions and follow them. UD Mobile works great and is what replace MobiLinc for me. I only used geo fencing with it a bit and dont know how extensive your setup is. Alexa does not require MobiLinc. You will use UD Portal. If you are using MobiLinc for that you’ll have to remove it and add the Alexa Skill for UD Mobile and enter in your spokens. Lite just has less RAM-and disk. R2 was spec’d before the price of RAM and ssd drastically increased so UD simply decreased them to all that was actually needed for most users needs to get price lower.

So I’m clear, what do you need to remove from local settings so it will only use portal?

@Goose66 i went ahead and added it and ran discovery. It show up immediately! The attributes shown are Temperature and Battery Level. Is Connection status in the Venstar API so it could potentially be added to the node server?

@Goose66 Does the node server support details like connection status and battery % for the WiFi remote sensor? I was doing a few searches before I considered installing one that I’ve had in box for years to see if it did that in skyport and came across a post that it was available in Home Assistant.

Thank you. So sorry I’m clear, the fix will be in eISY update — correct? I have great cell service and sync goes very quickly.

With success. I’ll open a ticket.

Reboot and same result on synchronization. I’ve also fully removed the app and added back including restore favorites. Tested both local and remote connection from app with success.

I just downloaded latest version of UD mobile on iOS. I’m getting many errors on sync. It had been great until this version. No control even for Insteon devices I can’t select all the errors but here is a screen shot from top

Yes, they will all change. It’s a little tedious but not difficult. Getting the full list of programs in a text file is an absolute must for the migration. I do it all the time as part of my normal backup sequence. I think I renamed all the nodelink nodes by adding a Capital _B at the end of their names so I could use my preferred names with the plugin nodes during their setup. Then I updated the programs to use the desired names before deleting the nodelink function for say DSC nodelink.

I used nodelink too and used it for a short time after the migration to eISY. Io_guy was great developer but nodelink no longer has active support. Therefore I moved over to the DSC polyglot plugin and it is excellent. The author bpowers is fantastic developer providing support. Took a little time but was not hard. Planning was biggest work I don’t know about CAI. If it’s in the plugin store, (forum has a sub-site for each one too) it likely is good but some of the plugin authors are better than others. Until it breaks, you could continue to use nodelink. I used several of its nodes and migrated them one at a time to plugins.

Yes, upgrade. I have a more complex system in number of devices and plugins. The only issue I had migrating was some older Schlage ZWave deadbolts. With Michel’s help got them over. Eventually replace them with new WiFi and matter versions to get Apple Key. As mentioned, it’s been relatively quite here but UD team are busy making big investments in the ecosystem to move us all forward on the eISY hardware.

Let me know if you think more about it, I replaced original DSC keypads with touch screens. You’re welcome to keypads if I still have them and can find them.

Not trying to spend your money but did you look at their EyezOn Uno direct replacement for DSC panels?

I brought about 6 back to life with capacitor replacement. I’ve still got many switches and dimmers installed from 16 years ago that are single band so accees points keep device communications at high reliability. I bought several dual band replacements during a smarthome 40 or 50% off sale before they closed. I install them as devices go bad but I’m guessing 70-85% are still original.

I was going to give same advice. Keep in mind you can only replace switch with switch and dimmer with dimmer.

MobileLinc is third party app. The initial version was loved by everyone even got screen time in maybe a Verizon commercial. The developer Wes upgraded it to Moblinc X ( I think) and it moved to a cloud model with subscription pricing. The blow back here was instant. No one wanted cloud failure point. I believe MobiLinc pro was launched in reaction to keep control local but damage was done. I’ve still got original MobiLinc on my phone but never use it — NOT just looked UD Mobile is my go to and it does a great job for me. I’d suggest you install and try it out. If good for you, you can consider dropping MobiLinc. BTW Wes was a great resource and developer. I don’t recall seeing here in forum for a bit.
