Update: Fixed! I used some different keywords to search, and found another thread that prompted me to use some different keywords, and I found another thread, which led to a post from @Michel Kohanim with the solution that fixed the issue. Since I only use Windows defender, and the Java was running, I knew it wasn't the antivirus issue, but I do run multiple monitors, so found the files noted in the Wiki and deleted them, and I am back in business. I guess the lesson is to describe the symptoms in the Google search, and it probably would have brought me directly to the solution. The question is why did this happen all of a sudden, but I guess that is Windows for you. ? Anyway, for reference: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Admin_Console_Closes_Automatically With kind regards, Michel Admin Console Minimized/Invisible and Cannot be Restored This is usually related Admin Console state files not being updated properly and especially in case of multi monitors. All you need to do is to find the following files in Java temp directory (on Windows: c:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp) and delete them. Or, you can simply search the computer for udi_*.* file patterns: udi_tree.state udi_frame.state udi_pgm.state udi_finder.state udi_launcher.state

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, neither solution worked for me. The symptom is that when I launch "Start.jnlp" from the desktop, the "UD" icon appears, and then disappears, but in task manager, the Java Web Launcher (32 bit) is running. Here are the steps I took: I uninstalled Java using the Java exe, and the remove option. Then I restarted the computer Then I reinstalled Java, restarted again, and then tried launching it again (fail) Next, I added the ISY to the Java Control Panel -> Security sub-tab -> Exception Site List -> add my ISY's IP Address as a URL (i.e. http://192.168.1.100)

I am suddenly unable to launch the Admin Console using Java 1.8.0_251 I searched, and all the threads are old. I cleared the Java cache and even tried reinstalling it, but no dice. I recently upgraded from v4.7.3 to v5.0.16C, and was able to log in after the upgrade. Fixing my scenes...that will be another post, LOL. Thanks for any assistance. Mark

DOH! I didn’t notice there was a dash in universal devices. Now, what was that I was saying about bonehead mistakes? [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks. I emailed support and hopefully this isn’t some bonehead issue of my own making. [emoji3166] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hi Michele, Yes, both devices are on the same subnet. I use Ubiquiti UniFi, and I did some rearranging of the managed switch the policy is connected to prior to installation yesterday, but I went through all the ports on the switch to make sure they were on the same network. I noticed in the wiki that the ISY needs to be on version five something and I’m still on four something, but I figured that would not affect the initial policy set up. Thanks.

I just received my Polisy Pro, and it booted up fine with the seemingly normal beep sequence. It is on my network with a DHCP-assigned IP address, but I cannot connect to it either with the hostname (polisy) or the ip address. I am not sure what is going on. I tried Chrome and Edge, but received the same message on both: This site can’t be reached polisy’s server IP address could not be found. Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

The irrigation module factors in the current EvTo, which I’m assuming factors in the rain for the prior day. my basic program is set to run if EvTo is over a certain amount and it’s going to rain less than a certain amount, then irrigate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes I did mean the irrigation module. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for sharing. I only irrigate in the early morning (starts at 3:15 AM) because I read that when you water at night you can have an increased chance of mold / disease issues. However, that may have been based upon my 100% Kentucky bluegrass turf. I also only irrigate based upon the irrigation requirement as dictated by the weather module, which I figured was the point of paying for that? I also read that you’re supposed to water once and deeply, vice frequently. This means that ideally you would only water once a week for the specific amount that the particular turfgrass type needs. I remember correctly I think it’s 1 inch of water per week generally. My soil type can’t handle more than .25” before run-off occurs, so that is as “deep” as I can water in one cycle. I’ve had this going out for around three years and it’s working fine. It has saved me a whole bunch of money in water, which is very expensive here. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Perhaps he was posting that the bulbs can’t be used in “the upside down”? [emoji41] Stranger things season 3 comes out tomorrow after all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

How does this work exactly? Is that via Polyglot? Thanks. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have never used polyglot but with announcement of the new hardware I did some quick research to see what’s available in polyglot. I found Ecobee and AV Remote items of primary interest, and others with a lesser interest, so I decided what the heck. UDI is a great company and I need to use polyglot eventually so why not get the appliance designed for that, which will make my life easier. I am in for the Pro model.

I’m in anyway. UDI is awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It said the Polisy was the future of isy, so maybe it is the next isy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Do they have any plans to introduce a 1080p model? It’s not very popular on IPCamTalk.com due to the 720p resolution and the cost. I suspect the market is not DIY, however. The other features you mentioned above are very nice! Thanks for any insight. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I use windows 10 and am up to date. If you updated ISY firmware, you also have to update the admin console. Unless you’re using the newer admin console named “start” (?) which does not require any more further admin comse updates. I hope this makes sense. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Agreed. I would even pay $20 for the app; I am not a fan of subscription models. I imagine this may be hard to do, since nobody ever created an app? Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You make a good point. I have two other 1080p cameras covering my porch and the approach to it that are Dahua Starlight cameras with the Sony Starvis sensors and when I was considering the Doorbird I only had my SkyBell on the porch. Fenderman convinced me to not get it, and I went with the two Dahua cameras I have now. [emoji44] Given the coverage I have now, a Doorbird probably would be sufficient but I would have to wire for it also. [emoji848] Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Doorbird does have good qualities (that you mention); the only problem with it is the resolution is only 720 P and the cost is kind of high so therefore it is not favored over at IPcamtalk.com We do need some better wired doorbell solutions with the Sony Starvis sensor.

I have Blue Iris and I love it; I would recommend buying it from the site below. The best option for a doorbell cam right now is the Dahua DB-11, which has less issues than the HikVision (and the various clone models) that came out in 2017. The DIY “UDI” site for cameras is IPCamTalk.com; start with the Cliff Notes, which are a little out of date with respect to specific camera models, but provides a solid foundation of information: The IP Cam Talk ‘Cliff Notes’ is a document containing a lot of collective wisdom, and is incorporated into the IP Cam Talk Wiki To access it via IPCamTalk.com, find the horizontal blue navigation bar at the top of any page, and select "Wiki", then in the "Everything Else" category, and then click on "IP Cam Talk Cliff Notes.

I don’t have any useful input on your plan, but I also have a SkyBell HD. Due to performance issues specific to my SkyBell, I am going to move to the Dahua DB-11 soon so I can use it with Blue Iris, which is my NVR software. I also have two cameras on the porch, so the motion notifications are handled by those cameras, and a doorbell camera is not really necessary, but I have a camera addiction problem [emoji848]. The SkyBell stopped working reliably for me some time ago, but this was after I added the cameras on the porch. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I may have missed it, but Is this feature available for Amazon Echo? I notice you can set the rooms in the portal. Thanks. Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

If you are into DIY, just buy the LED strip lights in a roll, enclosures for the strips (optional), and a transformer. I have a bunch of info on various BOM options I collected in a Word document when I was doing my research. If interested, let me know and I can share it via Google Drive.
