What people may overlook is that you may have changed or deleted a device/node that was in the program. When that happens, an green error message appears in the program and then icon goes yellow. This happens to me also when I tinker with a nodeserver, such as removing the nodeserver and re-installing it. I have learned from experience that I then often forget programs that include a node from that nodeserver.

- ISY 994i ZW, Z, or ZS Series (Z-Wave/Zigbee and/or if you do NOT have a PLM)

BTW ISY is my work horse and the Administrative Console ( as mentioned by MrBill) is not browser based, I use Home Assistant in my browser to control my devices. This is even more the case now that @MrBill showed me how to control my ISY programs in Home Assistant. So if you like to use your browser, as I do, use the Administrative Console to create/modify your scenes and programs, and use Home Assistant to control your devices and programs. Home Assistant is also available for your phone, but the new UD Mobile works great on the phone. In conclusion this is my setup : Administrative Console on my windows computers to add/remove devices; to create and modify scenes and programs. In my browser (Chrome) : Home Assistant to control devices, scenes and programs On my Iphone : UD Mobile and also Home Assistant (*) (*) Home Assistant requires monthly subscription to use outside of your local network, so UD Mobile is right now the ideal solution. I believe that eventually UD Mobile will also work in your browser, at which time HA becomes a secondary option.

The Administrative Console is (still) Java based and is the most logical way to create and manage your scenes and programs. You must make sure to exactly follow the steps listed in the version of your ISY ( https://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/15-current-release-betas-and-bug-reports/ ), including the launcher and Java instructions. Let us know if you have further questions/issues.

Thanks, I just added the favorites widget !!!!

Though it is really quick & easy to click on Favorites, I would also like to have Favorites as the first screen when opening the App.

I created Spokens with Open and Close, and never use On and Off.

I am curious.... What exactly are you looking for ? I have a Zwave curtain system that, through ISY Portal, work with both Google Home and Alexa.

and I will add another 2cts...... I have MyQ. As I mentioned before, my setup (condo with private garage) requires that the MyQ is connected to the building's public wifi, which works 99% of the time. On the rare occasion that it does not, I just open or close the garage door with the keypad, in-vehicle remote or hand held remote.

I'd be happy to give you tips how to make optimum use of the Holidays Google Nodeserver, It is magical for me.

I am a little bit lost with ISY on Polisy..... I understand that it is in Alpha stage, and therefore I am not yet going there, but I just want to understand the ultimate objective and know where we are right now. Objective : Access Polisy and Administrative together with same user name and pw ? Current status : My existing ISY would not yet show up in Polisy, and only a "new" ISY " ? No Zwave right now ? UD Mobile : Will eventually do exactly the same as Administrative Console ?

I use @firstone's Holidays Google nodeserver and created a calendar that I named 'Trip". Whenever we go out of town, I add a whole day event for each day using the 'Trip' calendar. In my ISY I have numerous programs * (wake-up, curtains, music) that act or not on the condition of the Trip node created by the Holidays Google nodeserver. This sounds more complicated than it really is and works great for me. BTW I created 9 calendars for different type of events (ex when cleaning lady comes etc) and these are all incorporated in programs. IF Trip Node Today is Not True AND Time is 7 am THEN Curtains open

I have been using the App (IOS) extensively for weeks and never had an issue of delay or otherwise.

Thanks so much for your extensive explanation. The quoted above is exactly what I believe, in that Inovelli can not afford substantial more Zwave innovation. I wonder whether the company will ultimately survive. My experience with Inovelli switches and bulbs is that, yes indeed, they bring new and interesting products but I also have more issues with Inovelli than with most other brands. The light bulbs give me constant coms error messages in the Administrative Console, even though they work fine, and the 'No Neutral Needed' switches as well as their other switches, either need the occasional factory reset or other remediation.

I just read this post from Inovelli's Eric on their roadmap. https://community.inovelli.com/t/2021-2022-roadmap/8699 I note their direction of Zigbee for mass market and Zwave for techies. As I have not given much attention to Zigbee, I am not sure to understand the logic. Other may have a better understanding.

Do you have a ISY Portal subscription ? That would be the easy solution. Access would be with ISY Portal username/password.

I need some help as I don't see Polisy in my ISY Portal

I never (or maybe almost never) have an issue loading UD Mobile (which is a real cool App). On the other hand, The AC launcher fails at least half of the time, sometimes with the message that it could not load the nodes and at other times it loads everything but with 100% or 0% instead of ON and OFF. Today I experienced with increasing -Xmx512m to -Xmx1024m. It may be my imagination but I believe that ISY loaded faster and I will observe whether the failing launches still occur.

@Javi Does @MrBillhave a point in that my extensive Zwave network may the issue of my AC launch fail at least 50% of the time ?

I have not figured out yet the difference between local and cloud and I can connect with both. I assume that cloud is related to ISY moving to Polisy, but am not sure. My issue is that at least 50% of the time I get an error message ( 'ISY was not able to load nodes' , or something similar) when launching the AC and then I have to re-launch till it fully opens. At other times, the AC opens with only 100's or 0's instead of On or OFF. I think (and hope) that this will be resolved when ISY moves to Polisy and/or when Java is getting rid of.

my suggestion is for you to exactly follow the steps in 5.3.0 including clearing Java. I have made mistakes in the past by not following all steps. BTW why no straight to 5.3.3 ?

Yes...... It happened to me a few years ago. If you have a Polisy, then use the Inventory nodeserver to identify how many nodes you are using.
