Add me to the list of "dupe" devices. Had the v1 skill and did the upgrade to v2. Alexa sees 2 of everything (not just my ISY devices, but WeMO devices on SmartThings, etc.) Removed all isy skills, and yet Alexa still sess things twice despite multiple forget all/etc. Any chance the Universal Devices folks can open a ticket with Amazon? (I've never found a way to open anything myself). If anyone needs more info, let me know. Also tried de-linking and re-linking the Amazon Echo to no avail (Like others as well). Things seem to work fine, other than it shows most (but not all) devices twice. (shows all my Isy devices twice, and most "smart things" devices twice).

Oh how I hate java-based crap. Anyway, I'm sure I've run into this before, but can't seem to remember/find a fix. Trying to login to my ISY "web" (ha!) admin interface, which of course, really launches the java POS that we have. Immediately after authentication, it shuts down the java interface and the "web" page changes to the: http://isy:84/WEB/CLOSE.HTM (in my case, the URL that works is: http://isy:84) I don't recall what firmware I'm on because I can't get into the darn thing to see/check. Trying to figure out why the water leak sensor didn't trigger (or maybe it did, all I know is that my central AC flooded my basement and I didn't get an alert). But we'll start with why I can't start the java-based admin console (REALLY want a true web-based one).

Yes, all of that was done. I searched these forms and only found one for: portals tab empty So then I figured I'd just search for portal and found a few entries where people said you had to do a hard reboot after installing the ISY Portal module. This isn't in the WIKI But that seems to resolve the issue. How does one get the WIKI updated to add that little tidbit in there?

OK, I just updated my ISY firmware to: 4.3.26 I purchased the ISY Portal module, and had tech support deactivate my MobiLinc module. I have created an ISY Portal account and added my UUID to it. I use my web browser to go to: isy:84/admin (I've used port 84 for eons) I get the java admin console and login to it. I click on Configuration -> Portals And the tab is completely empty. There's no refresh button. Nothing. The only thing I could NOT do: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Installation_Instructions Make sure your ISY is configured with TLS 1.2 and Strength All and Verify is unchecked for HTTPS Client settings. If you are unsure, please consult this document Network Security Configuration Guide Because I click on the link for the java desktop download and it says Page not found (it also seems those instructions are for the Pro version?) So I'm kinda stuck. No MobiLinc option now and can't get ISY Portal to work either. Nothing else has changed. ISY does show: Internet Acess: Disabled (in the Help -> About). I had port forwarding on (it's still on) for MobilLinc, but from what I've ready ISY Portal doesn't need that at all. There are NO outbound firewall restrictions (just doing simple NAT on the router).

I find this very interesting. I have an isy 994i already with an Insteon PLM module. I've tried a bunch of Android smartphone apps and none of them really worked well, so I have to use the Mobilinc one with the portal so it's like $30/year. I'm debating about adding z-wave (or z-wave plus or whatever), and now I'm wondering if the mi casa verde stuff would be "better" in terms of UI/smartphone app. My roomate bought a smartthings for his dad, but by the time they figured out it wouldn't work out for him, it was too late to return, so now there's a smartthings hub at home as well. The insteon hub pro looks like it has some major issues (oh, did i mention I Have some insteon water sensors?) I'm sure the isy is "powerful", but it took me like a whole day to get the darn water sensor to even semi-work by hunting around here to find a myriad of scripts (had a power outage a few weeks ago and now I'm not so sure the water sensor is in the right "mode" now). Not terribly keen on the $30/year for smartphone support (but the mobilinc app is the "nicest" I've seen other than the actual insteon hub software, but the hub apparently doesn't work with the water sensors and the reviews aren't all that great). The pricing between z-wave and insteon seems about the same (ie, $40-45 for say, a light switch that's wired into the wall for both protocols), so I wouldn't say either one is really "cheaper". I usually buy from smarthome although I think home depot (or is it Lowes?) sells some z-wave stuff. I guess I'm at a crossroads and not sure what to do. Ideally: I'd like a hub/thingy that worked with Insteon and z-wave WITH a better software UI and smartphone app that didn't run me $30/year and lots of time to setup. I don't really have anything fancy other than: turn this on at X time, and alert me when water is spraying everywhere. Originally I went with the isy because I did not want to have a computer powered up 24/7 with a serial cable/usb cable to the insteon "hub/whatever" to use the fancy software. However, I've since setup a VMware server and run some VM's (mostly linux), so if absolutely necessary I could use some other software to do the more "easy" setup/programming --if such a beast exists. Anyway thanks for letting me blab. --Kevin

Exactly, and since I didn't know which one was which, I figured I'd just delete it and let it add it properly and then rename. But thanks again. Sorry it took so long to respond.

Thanks Brian for the hard work on this. I'm assuming that testing did not go well, as I did not see this bit on the Original Post?

That apparently was the issue. I deleted and then re-added with short names and now I can see what they are. Thank you

Thanks for the info, but the "name" on the left-hand side in the ISY is all the same. Should I not have given the device a name when I linked it manually? (Unless there's another spot to see where it added the "dry", etc. suffixes?)

I got some water link sensors (the 2852-222) at Wal-Mart for half off. Of course, the instructions assume you have the hub and not the ISY. I manually added it (linked it I should say), but it shows up 3 times in the "network" section of the admin console. But I have no idea which one of the 3 is what. Supposedly it *should* add 3, but I can't tell which one is supposed to be used for what, (I did see the stick link on how to program it, but I think I need to know which node or whatever I have to select for things to work properly http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/11566-leak-sensors-a-suggested-complete-program-package/ Or not? Thank you
