I'm getting SOooooo tired (and the whole household) of hearing 'sorry I couldn't reach Universal Devices' and everyone goes 'NOT AGAIN'... how can this be made more reliable?? I'm using Google devices, others using Alexa, apparently, so it's not on my/out end...

Would be great to know what happened, and can any steps be taken to prevent again in the future?

Just means you have UD-Moblle running... So exit that, and it's disappears... In got me for a bit too... could be worded much better imo.

ok, so as long as i'm backing up my isy, never any need for zw backup then, correct? thanks

When I'm backing up my ISY, it asks for filename, then puts to a file. Where does the Zwave backup go to? (Internally onto the ISY??) (If it gets backed up into the ISY somewhere, should i do Zwave THEN ISY backup, in that order?)

Thanks Mr Bill! That was it... i took a chance and just upgraded to pro. Even if i had purchased in past, its worth it just to support UDI (and i probably didn't, and thought i had). I didn't have time to figure out the nodeserver thingy, but would like to at some point. Now happily adding devices!

i don't see a choice tab, but i now have pro and do see icons for automatic write options... all good

Where can i get a node count? Sounds like Pro issue may be bang on... i suspect /fj

Thanks! I was sure i purchased the pro... but on v4... Would i have to re-purchase v4 to v5? I don't see any module purchases at https://www.universal-devices.com/my-account/ I have isy portal account to run my Google devices... is that not pro module? I can't 'add' my device, as i don't know exact date for 'purchase date' (so i can't see what i've purchased, or purchase more)

I'm on V.5.0.16 I was trying to add a mini remote 8 button, and it stopped at first 4 buttons. Tried several times, same result. So after 4 buttons, tried another one, NONE of the buttons, just error. Seems like I've hit some kind of limit. Tried rebooting ISY, same results. See attached... Fred

Hey Larry, that was just what I was looking for (and a bit extra LoL)... Thanks! Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Ah, good one, I'll try that! Thx! Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Hey Larry! I'm on Google, so I then have to say "Hey Google RUN XXX" instead of "Hey Google TURN XXX on/off", which others (ok my wife) finds really hard to remember to say. How do you speak it on Alexa?

I have an emergency light that turns light off when power is applied, and on when power is off. (a battery backup LED light that comes on when the power goes out) I'm using it as the light in my garage, so I use an Insteon plug-in module to turn the charger to this light on and off on a normal day-to-day usage (and when the power goes out... poof, it's on) I would like to reverse, so when i say, hey google turn garage ON, it turns the Insteon switch OFF. I have my mini-switches working by using a program, so i can reverse the "then" logic. Any ideas?

Thanks for your honesty Michel! I figured it was either ddos or a config issue (i've done that with my load balancers too). At least it's something that can be fixed... this time... In the wild... I'm really concerned with the latest level of ddos attacks, MikroTik router vulnerabilities, etc, (that CloudFlare can't protect) so keep working on improving cyber security all the time... it's only getting worse with these, billions of IOT $5 devices with vulnerabilities, yada yada Steve Gibson... "someone somewhere has built, assembled, and is in control of a horrifically powerful botnet, unlike anything seen before. It consists of upwards of a quarter of a million MikroTik routers, nearly half of them with IP addresses in the United States. And as I said, I'm sure those brief 60-second attacks against Yandex weren't meant to harm them. They were meant to give the attackers some sense for the scale of this new offensive weapon they have created. So they must be feeling quite pleased with themselves now. Nothing can withstand 21 million web requests per second." Go to https://voip.ms and watch a company going from viable to on its knees in days... due to... yes... ddos ransom

Well of course, I don't even know how you could set this all up without having local to start with because that's how you set it up and then you add on the cloud so I'm still not sure what lesson I need to learn. Of course I can change it locally but I can't teach everybody how to use interfaces and have apps on their phones etc. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Is isy cloud some kind of club we belong to and all have responsibilities in? What were the lessons I was supposed to learn? Sounds like maybe a configuration problem, but if this is open source, how do we work on it? Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Hi Larry, I'm a tad confused... who is the 'we' you speak of? Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Has anyone figured out what hppened or is happening? This was a HUGE pain!

My ISY was horribly slow, rebooted, now fast and online again. What happened, or is happening?

I am down too 503 error to https://my.isy.io:443/isy/blahblah ddos attack maybe?

Any updates on this issue?

I use Mobilinc and run about 20 widget shortcuts, all from turning on/off lights, blinds 20,40,60,80%, siren off, fresh air on, off, etc... super handy, all done via tasker tasks, and it has plugin to Mobilinc. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Is there a Tasker Plugin or a way to put shortcuts / Widgets on home screen in Android using UD Mobile?

Well... didn't know that... it works, thanks! Also +1 for @Asbril idea. I had huge headaches with scenes WAY back, and have avoided them like the plague, and I'm so happy i haven't gotten into that mess again... I just live with 95% great. So having a solution without scenes would be appreciated.
