Michel, Why did you want the IP address? Also, it has been up and running now for almost 3 days, and I am only using the html page to see when the programs are running. I will let you know how long this lasts.

Yes and Yes. Although the HTML is also non responsive when it's stuck. 192.168.2.100 is the current address.

How do I test the PLM? If I reset the ISy without reseting the PLM, everything works fine for a while. I was able to login with no issues for the last 36 hours or so, but now it just sits there, no errors, and no login window. On Safari, the login option is gray, but in IE in Windows 7, the option is not gray, but it will not pop up the login window, and again no errors. Also, even though the choices are there, I was not able to test the PLM, or generate a log dump.

Michel, Thanks for the quick replies! I know all the quirks of using the EZRain with the ISY, BUT it has been working, and has been very stable until two or three months ago. Almost 2 years of stable behaviour. Now I notice that the program in the ISY has not run due to plants showing noticeable water stress, and when I try to login to the ISY, I am confronted with errors that do not allow me to login, so I must reboot the ISY and then everything works fine for a few days or so, and the cycle repeats itself. The issue with the valve not writing the Set Option has only occured in the past two days. It had not occurred before. Now I do not know if the PLM or EZRain devices are failing and causing the ISY to hang, or if the ISY is failing, but something is happening. In regards to the EZRain having the latest firmware, is that something I can do, or is it required I buy the latest device? Thanks again.

F.42.9Bv7A/Connected is what I get at the moment, but it is working at the moment. I can be sure that by tomorrow it will be 'stuck' again. Also, I still cannot Set Options for controlling valve number 1. It simply ignores the command and does not write to the EZRain.

I have unplugged the PLM multiple times and also performed a reset according to the instructions. I will send a version when I get home. Thx.

Hi Michel, My ISY is getting to the point where it is very unstable. Since it is controlling my EZRain, and since I live in Arizona, it is super critical that this get resolved. I need to reboot it almost everyday, and now that is not remedying all issues. 1. It locks up and is unreachable via browser. I am never given the option to log in, just get the previously listed parsing errors. 2. I need to physically reboot it. I usually do this by unplugging the ethernet cable supplying power from the PLM. 3. When I try logging back in, I am not given an option to log in, I must go to the file menu, click login, then close both windows, and reconnect to the ISY before I can get back in. 4. Now, I can access the MAIN and CONFIGURATION tabs, but the program tabs are inaccessible. I am unable to choose them. 5. On the first EZRain switch, I am unable to modify the options(run time), all other valves work fine. On the first one, it never writes to the EZRain, the popup window never comes up. 6. I have completely reset the ISY to factory settings by holding the reset button until it flashed quickly, and set it up from scratch, NOT using a restore. And I used a different IP address, currently DHCP, and did not setup the ELK to talk to the ISY. 7. I am using Mac OS 10.6.4 with the latest Firefox and Safari browsers and iPhone clients to access the ISY, when it works. I hope that clarifies things. You can also connect via the web if you want. Just let me know and I'll PM or email my address.

Michel, Thanks always for the quick replies, your customer service is second to none! No they are both static ips. Elk xx.xx.xx.9:2601 ISY xx.xx.xx.10:7972 Nothing has changed other than it is no longer stable. I should mention that I have the Elk programmed to turn on the ApplianceLinc through the F1 button for 30min, which is used frequently, and F2 to turn off in case we don't need to run the pump 30min. I will unplug the M1XEP if you think it will make a difference. Cheers, Isaac

I have a 99i with firmware 2.7.14. Socket Open Failed java.netSocketTimeoutException XML Parse Error http://MyELKIPaddress:PORT/desc THis has been occurring in the previous firmware as well which was stable forever, but become unstable and I cleared caches and upgraded the firmware with no change. I have to power cycle the 99i and it runs for a couple days and then it stops. There is no complicated programming, it is just controlling my EZ Rain and just 1 appliance linc. And living in AZ makes the EZ Rain reliability crucial, especially as summer approaches. Thanks! **edited title88

if I was limited to one word to describe UDI, it would be dependable. There are many adjectives that come to mind, but to me, dependability is king. I have been extremely busy at work lately, and as such, I have gone two weeks without logging in to my ISY-99, and everytime I do, being an IT guy, I expect to find something wrong. I expect it to have been locked up for days, just waiting for me to save it. I expect to see that my sprinklers have gone 14 days without activating. But every single time, I find that it is working at 100%, it ran all my programs, watered my grass, my trees, and my shrubs without fault, and it is eagerly awaiting new commands and scenes! The other side of that dependability comes from the superb support structure here, it is rare that a question goes longer than 24 hours unanswered, even if that answer is we need to look further. After a not so satisfying transaction with SmartHome, getting the ISY-99 was the best move I made! Thanks so much for a wonderful product, and an even better support system. Bravo!

Thanks! I just did that, next run is Mon so I will see what happens then.

I am a network geek, and programming hurts my brain... Here is what I have in the 99i controlling a SHN EZFlora Irrigation Controller: If On Mon, Fri From Sunrise For 10 minutes Then Set xx.xx.xx On Else No Action This works fine, but after the 10 minutes, the zone still shows on. Do I need to add more to this so that the zone turns off. Technically the zone gets a single run command that includes the time, so I don't need to turn it off, but for accuracy I would like it to reflect the current state the zone is in.
