Sorry to hear about your troubles, that is a mess. Being in Texas (lots of lightning storms) I have learned years ago to always have a isolation transformer on critical equipment with or without UPSes. Surge protectors and even UPSes don't stop a large hit. I have two APC Line-R isolation transformers at critical areas along with a whole house surge in my breaker panel. The weak link on my UDI Easy controller is still the PLM if you put it on the unprotected side of the transformer where it needs to be to work correctly for power line communication. So I just keep a spare around just in case. Old story, I put a fully isolated UPS (hard to find now days) on a file server in a bank on a hill next to several radio towers. The bank got hit directly by a massive bolt from the blue. All the electronic equipment in the bank fried, including the ATM. My file server was the only computer to survive. So I do believe in isolation transformers. Cheap insurance.

Hi Bob, Thanks for the Ping plug in. I recently upgraded to eisy and PG3x from PG2. I use the Ping plugin to monitor several IPs. Just after the upgrade, I changed out my main PC I use and I changed the IP address from my old PC to my new PC in PG3x Ping config. It works fine, but now I have two identical devices (for my PC) in the Admin Console plug in for Ping. One works and one is blank. The problem is I can't delete the one that is blank to get rid of it. It is not listed in my PG3x Ping configuration, only in the AC. Any suggestions?

Just curious, does UD Mobile and Bluestack5 survive and work after a PC has entered sleep mode and reawakened? The AC doesn't and requires exiting and logging in again after a PC wakes up. Thanks.

Before I give up and just add all my PG2 plugins manually into PG3x, I thought I would ask again for input. Anyone have any ideas? @bmercier @bpwwer Thanks.

Hi All, I finally purchased my eISY and will run it on a separate IP from my ISY994i-ZS. I did a test migration by restoring the backup to the eISY and it seemed to go well. The PG3x console shows most of my plug-ins but they are all unmanaged with "no details available". Now I am ready to do a new restore to the eISY and get the PG3x server working as my primary controller. I can find little on the PG2 to 3x migrate. It seems the PG3x server only has a "migrate" for PG3 or a restore for 3x backups. So the question is, how do I get all my PG2 plug in settings over to my PG3x? Do I have to setup up everything manually? I assumed I would have to purchase them from the PG3x store, but is that before I can "migrate" the settings, if that is possible? Thanks for any help to get me going in the right direction. --Leon

Thanks Larry, looks like a good workable solution. If memory serves me, networking for the ISY, which I have, was an optional module add on. Is that the case with Eisy or is it built-in on them now? I didn't notice it on the sales page as on the Eisy or available for the Eisy.

Hi all and Happy New Year. I have a 994i-ZS that reads my Oncor meter directly and has done so for about a decade. It works so well that I hate to give it up coupled with the fact that the ZS option is not available on Polisy or Eisy. So that has stopped me from moving forward with new hardware. But I think the time has come and I need to find an option to move forward. So, I was wondering if there is a straight forward way for a new Eisy to run in parallel to my 994i-ZS and for it to be able to take data off the ZS every minute or so to present to me as a variable on the Eisy and the UD Mobile? Any suggestions are appreciated. I know there are hardware solutions also with taps in my breaker box, but I'd rather not follow that path unless I have no other options. Thanks for your input. --Leon

@Geddy Thanks, local DL worked. 😊 Now I'm having lots of insteon "failed to communicate" and various other related errors and nothing seems to be talking to the ISY. Sounds like a bad plm 😞. Only got 7 years out of this one. Running the PLM links table comes up blank. Glad I bought a spare back in 2019! Thanks for the help. -Leon

Thanks for the suggestions. Java cache cleared twice, no joy. Rebooted router, no change. I can't download anything as I have no Internet on my lan right now. Java is now throwing the error: unable to load resource: https://ISY.universal-devices.com/launcher/ISY.jnlp followed by a lot of file names saying unknown source. Everything was fine before power outage and now no Internet.

I have an ISY 994i, I lost power for 3 days due to a major storm and still don't have Internet, but power is back up. Lots of minor issues with ISY system I'm trying to fix, but I cannot get ISY finder to work to launch admin. When running start.jnlp I get "application error, unable to launch the application." In details it says: java.net.uknownhostexception: ISY.universal-devices.com. I have to assume it's trying to connect through the Internet. UDAjax and ud mobile both connect to my ISY. I didn't think UD Admin was Internet dependant. Any suggestions?

As a future FYI for anyone researching this topic for an answer, Javi said it may be a bug in the app and will be possibly corrected in the next update.

Hi Dennis, restoring the backup puts everything back the way it was after the sync I suppose. But it leaves me with the same 25 unused values as before. I guess this is a work around if nothing else works. I am not sure, but "cancel" may be the same thing in the end with out the hassle of restoration. Thanks,
-
Javi, Hi Javi, Is what I quoted myself above not what you are asking me to do? If not, I am not sure what you are asking. Every time I click "delete unused values" it blows away all of my variable icons and folders. I either have to manually add all the variable icons back in or restore the backup. <edit> Just to be very clear, I am not technically getting any "error" messages, just the notification show in the first post about "unused values". I am guessing that the sync is thinking the variable displaying icons are "unused values". Thanks,

Hi Javi, Thanks for the quick reply. I am not sure how to validate the "heavy load" on the ISY. Is there a way to see CPU utilization on an ISY while I run the sync? I have no related issues otherwise. Yes, it has been rebooted regularly (almost daily) and is still doing this over a couple of week period. It is 100% repeatable. Also, I have a new phone as of about 2 months ago, so the process is very quick, especially compared to my old phone. But I have almost always gotten these messages for the last several months or more when syncing, even on the old phone. The only difference is I have never (that I remember) told it to delete the unused values. Thanks,
