Is it advisable to mount the Zwave antenna remote from an extension? I recently turned the eisy a bit to get over a couple missed calls from my Schlage doors. I noted also at the same time that eisy was rather warm. I'm guessing that is the nature of the beast!

I'm trying to figure this phaseout - out. Am I understanding that in lieu of the AC you simply log into the eisy through the web address, in my case, 192.XXX.X.XXX? When I tried that I get an entirely new format. Is this what I need to learn? Thanks

I may well be the slowest guy on this forum! I managed to upgrade the unit to the new firmware - no issues that I can see so far. Took less than 20 minutes... I had to do the usual Java deletes in order for the AC to work - no problem there, Then I notes that the desktop icon was gone and the only way to access AC was through http://isy.ip/admin.jnlp . Worked fine. But I've tried everything I know to re-establish the UD icon for faster logins. The old tried and true way will not leave an icon.

Thank you. Is there a reason why these three programs went yellow?

I was going through things prior to the upgrade and noticed that the "FACTORY QUERRY" was "not loaded" and "out of memory" was shown in yellow on the program summary page. In looking at the program (not really sure what if anything it does for me), I see this in the comments: IF : time is 3:00:00AM THEN: Warning: Unrecognized Action (program may not run) <cmd ID="QUERY" NODE="00:21:b9:00:f7:f7"/> ELSE: no action One of my holiday programs had the same, but it was a program I don't use anymore so I just deleted it. Do I need this "querry"? If so, how to modify?

Figured it out. I think along with the many "glitches" I've experienced in the transition from 994 to eISY, I think that some of the Scenes also were corrupted in the move. I deleted this particular scene and rebuilt it and just like that it works. Moral of my story is a complete audit of all the remaining scenes and programs. This whole thing started with the backlighting not responding. That issue required each and every switch needing to be factory reset, deleted from eISY and then re-added back in. After that the backlighting adjustments worked perfect. I'm appreciative that everything works now, or will as soon as I get through the rest. I'm thrilled with my new eISY, and it's worth the minor inconvenience of these issues.

Let me try and elaborate. I have a scene, "NIGHT" which I push button "F" and the scene has a half dozen SWL's in it. Some dimmers, some just switches. I have set the ramp and % brightness in the scene under each unit. I push the button and they all go to rogue settings. In addition I have a dimmer mated with a KPL button that when the button is pushed would likely go to 33%. It goes full bright even though I have the level set to 33%. I know I'm missing something simple

I've had a boatload of issues with backlighting and today one thing led to another and many switches needed to be reset. I reset them to factory and then reloaded them into the eisy. A single lone switch was Ok , but scenes were all in need of reprogramming. I got the main backbone done, then I noticed that the scenes when triggered by a KPL button were not setting SWL's t the proper level. Can someone tell me how to program the ramp rates and brightness for each SWL in a scene. Also I thought by simply entering ramp/brightness in a SWL would tell the switch how to perform when the switch rather than a KPL button was pushed.

For what it's worth - I posted on the ISY site as well...

I started with UD back in the early 2000's with a an ISY-26. I think I paid <$200 for it. It served me very well for better than a dozen years. I then moved into the 994, it too served well only and until the mail notification stopped (not due to anything UD did wrong). The 994 cos around $200. When it became apparent that the 994 was going to be sidelined - I procrastinated for months. I finally, even though advised by UD to just hang on to it and give up on the email notifications, and knowing of possible issues I might have integrating my Schlage locks into a new eisy, I bought a new eisy for ~ $400 something. I even sold the old 994 for $100 to a guy who needed it for what it was! The transition from 994 to eisy could not have gone better. No issues - and I mean NO ISSUES. The locks were seamless and other than a few switch(s) that have had to be factory reset and restored my system has been 100%. Granted, I don't have a huge setup, < 50 total switches. My point being that I feel that UD (and more importantly Michel) are worth every penny I ever paid them. Their product works as advertised and support is second to no one. I will never utilize the eisy for 5% of its capability, but that's OK. I like stuff that works and my ISY(s) have always done that.

Thanks Indy. I'm on it

Thanks Dennis

A few weeks have passed and this morning I noticed two more switches are full bright back light all night. I'll remedy the same way, but not sure why (or how) they are changing. Any ideas? It has to be the new eisy and firware. The backlighting was rock solid for many years on the 994. Not a problem, but just extra work.

Could someone provide a link to directions on how to add a plugin and then configure it for use?

They told me that the "hub" would run ~ $210. Sound about right? Also, could you post a link to how to install an eisy plugin. I searched and can't find the step by step. This will be my first, so I'll be a pro after the HD. Thanks
