Thanks! I've run out of time to try today and am reverting to ISY994i. I'll try next week. I still don't understand how to get a username as short as "admin" into the list on IoX on EISY since it told me userid was too short. It seemed to accept adminadmin but I could find no evidence that it stuck. I did not have a port in my old spec so maybe 8080 will do the trick. I'll try without authentication.

I did reboot from the menu (several times). Behavior hasn't changed. The physical unit is in the basement near PLM but I can power it off if you think that could change its behavior (seems unlikely)

http://<ipaddress>:8443/desc gives no response https: gives an XML list but no opportunity to log on

I am concerned that an email address won't work given that the formal for providing username and password in REST has an ampersand before the host.

No, connecting to port 8443 does not give any sort of connection. The eisy doesn't allow "admin" as a userid -- too short. I tried putting in adminadmin as User1 via the file menu in the admin console, trying to put in the URL in the finder (ip adress/desc:8443) as you suggested inists that the userid be an email address. Using the adminadmin as userid in REST did not work

Doesn't allow setting a User password to "admin" -- says userid length not valid.

I see that I have the username and password for the old ISY in my REST strings (though no port that I can see). do I need to change the username and password to the portal info? Or can I enter an alternate user/password somewhere in IoX? @Guy Lavoie Odd to have a setting you can't change.

There are some odd things -- like can't change the network settings in admin console. Also can't uncheck DST box. Custom location is in use and the time displayed is Standard Time, not DST.

Finally installing EISY. For communication with other house management computers, I use REST to receive inward commands to ISY (now IXY) and network resources to send information out. Haven't tested the outgoing network resources yet. I provided a static IP address (same as old ISY) and verified that this was in use by the eisy machine and the ixy. But state variables are not changing based on rest commands. Any ideas on whether there is some setting in EISY to enable REST? FYI it took over 24 hours for a PLM switch -- I think it would only have taken 8 hours except I had some disused links for nodes served by an old eisy08 PLM (whatever that device was called). Deleting the notes allowed the process to complete. Sorry I meant IoX not IXY. EISY is fully up to date -- IoX 6.22 etc.

@DennisC Thanks, yes I had thought of that but hadn't gotten around to doing it.

THanks. I got it to work with the eisy. (The eisy is sitting on my network with isy"restored" from 994i backup but not yet connected to the plm or actually doing anything.) @DennisC It's because I have parts of the house I may not have been in and for example guests have left. And it's not all lights, there are other devices also. It's not a feature I use every day but it's nice to have. Thanks for your helpful suggestions, though.

@Geddy Thanks for the clarification about Mobilinc App vs Mobilinc Connect. I have the 4.17 version of the Mobilinc App also. I suspect I am still using Mobilinc Connect to connect to the ISY 994i. The Error logs contain lots of Mobilinc traffic that I assume wouldn't be there if I was going through the portal. I think i had an ISY at another house signed up for the portal but not this one. I think I didn't realize I could use the Mobilinc App through the Portal. I'll try to find the documentation for that. Thanks again this is a big help.

Yes! Sorry I meant to post that. All that was needed was to install the eisyui package. Michel was on it immediately even though I said it was not at all urgent. Typical of UDI support!

Thanks. I've looked at the wiki on UD Mobile and then clarified on the App that I can do the following that are important to me: Change variable values (wiki said you can't edit variables but maybe that means their names) Run program if and then Enable and DIsable programs There does not seem to be an option to source the device list by current status. I have something like 70 or 80 devices so it is a long list and helps to be able to sort by on/off to see what is on. In Mobilinc HD at the top of the device list there are buttons to sort A-Z, Z-A, On-Off, and Off-On. It would be great if this or something similar could be implemented in UD Mobile.

Thanks! I didn't see how to sort the list of devices by those are currently on, which I can do in Mobilinc. This helps in making sure that stray lights aren't on when I am not home. I hope that this can be added in the future if it isn't possible now.
