Geddy: The information provided in the link was in context with the version of MacOS at the time. The Privacy and Security settings tab has been revamped in Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2. There is a Developer Tools subtab which you can specify apps which can circumvent the security restrictions but the jnlp file cannot be selected to be added. The jnlp file is grayed out.

Under System Settings | General | Local Network, the IOX Launcher doesn't appear in the list, nor is there a visible way to add additional apps to the list. Not sure what the references to other posts are relevant - if I try launching start-8.jnlp, MacOS returns an error indicating that the app was not opened because Apple could not verify the file was free of malware.

Hi Geddy, I'm running macOS Sequoia 15.3.2. It's not clear how one adds apps to the local area network access list as no controls are visible.

Hi there, I have an ISY994i running the IoX Launcher on a Macbook. I tried launching the Launcher today and the Admin Console failed to start because of a certificate error. I don't understand the ins and outs of security certificates, self signed certificates. I tried reading the wiki pages about self signed certificates and it is above my pay grade. Does anyone know how to correct the issue easily to be able to launch the Admin Console? Thanks!

I want to write an automation script to notify me when my dryer load is completed. To do this, I think I'll need a plug for monitoring the load change on the dryer. Does anyone on this forum know a ZWave plug for this purpose that works with the ISY994? Or, if I'm barking up the wrong tree, is there a better way to accomplish this task?
-
I believe if you run the Airport Utility on your Macbook Pro, you can see your router and see all of its clients attached to it. You can look for the MAC address of your ISY to find its IP address and try manually adding it to the Launcher using the Add option.

Home Assistant seems to have a good model for this. If the update doesn't work, there appears to be a feature allowing rollbacks. I have no experience with that, as I have thankfully never had HA not comeback from an upgrade. But their model seems pretty sensible.

If you're concerned about the ramifications of using this node server, you can always use an IO Linc with your setup to generate the momentary contact necessary to open and close the gargage door, then use a door sensor to monitor if the garage door is open or not. I have a magnetic contact sensor mounted on the floor of my garage and the other component mounted to the door. Use a program to trigger the necessary contact to open and close the door and monitor the state of the sensor. This works pretty well.

Read your post and tried to think out of the box here. Any possibility of taking one of the modules and giving it to another user for adding it to their system? That might confirm if the device is bad or if you have comm errors.
-
Have you looked into a device called Broadlink? Apparently a lot of people use it for IR functions. It sort of operates like a Harmony Hub, but is purportedly easier to deploy. They're reasonably priced too, available on sites like Amazon. I personally have not tried the Broadlink device since I have amassed a collection of Harmony Hubs over the years. But it would be a device I'd consider. In addition to IR support, it also supports RF.

When using a UPS, is it a good idea to plug the UPS into a Filterlinc? This is presuming that the modem is not plugged into the UPS, but the eISY's power supply is.
-
I don't know what the cause might be, but I have a guess. A bad power supply for your ISY? Something I would try if I had a situation like this is to replace the power supply with a known good working one and see if that cures the reboot problem. I vaguely remember having some issue with my ISY a long time ago that was cured by replacing the power supply. I think most people at the time suggested the power supply or the memory card as being the culprits.

Here is the reference: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Amazon_Echo_Integration_V3 Under the heading "Instructions for using Multiple Echos Smart Home": To support multiple Echos with different Smart Home devices, you need multiple ISY Portal sub-accounts with each their own user profile. Have your Echos tied to different amazon accounts In ISY Portal, configure a sub-account and user profile per echo: <etc> <etc> <etc> Is this no longer relevant, as oberkc suggests?
-
Thanks to all who replied. There is a reference in the wiki page about the need to create separate accounts for each Echo device. Can anyone explain the rationale behind this?

I think there's supposed to be a way to say simple references to turn on lights in a room that has an Echo in it without using the long name and unique name we all give to different lights in the house. I did read the wiki article on Amazon Echo integration, which suggests setting up each Echo with different accounts to do this. Isn't there a less complicated way of doing this with groups? If what I'm asking isn't clear, let me provide an example: If there is an Insteon dimmer switch called "Master Bedroom Light", I'd like to be able to say: "Alexa, turn on the lights" in the Master Bedroom, but also be able to say the same thing when I'm in the garage to turn on the lights there, without having to say "Alexa, garage lights on" I have a Alexa group called "Master Bedroom" and another called "Garage", in which "Master Bedroom Light" is in the group "Master Bedroom" and "Garage Lights" is in the group "Garage". There is an Echo in each of these rooms.
