pop ups
The best way is with a 3rd party app called Pushover.... There's two ways to use it.... The older method is create messages in the Network Resources module. If you don't have Network resources there is two ways to get that, one is outright purchase, the other is subscribe to the Portal. The portal is better value, I can elaborate on that if you need more info. The second method is @Jimbo's Notification Nodeserver available via polyglot if you have Polisy (or a pi running polyglot).

Emailing variable values stopped working
Officially I don't know. But the Key sentence is: which is saying it requires hardware compatibly and A2 is a much newer specification than the design of ISY hardware, so I think A1 is what's best. I learned about watching for A1 in a Home Assistant discord chat. The guy that talked about it claimed to be an engineer that designed SSD systems for one of the major players in the hard drive industry. @Teken on the other hand swears by the "industrial specification".

Emailing variable values stopped working
Definitely. If you don't do ISY backups often, now is the time to create one.

Emailing variable values stopped working
Was the value 0 at the time you did that? See my edit to your text above. So my next question is how old is you microSD card? Might be time for a new one, you can use 16 or 32gb cards... look for the newer A1 rating.

Emailing variable values stopped working
what happens via rest? /rest/vars/get/<var-type>/<var-id> http://ISY.IP.ADDR.HERE/rest/vars/get/1/6 would be the equivalent of iDay2 in your example. Another thing to try is look at your email template and make sure it hasn't become corrupt somehow. One of my ISY's is on 5.3.0 and happily emailing me variable values at least once a day.

Spoken routines missing from portal
to get a specific answer you'll need to open a ticket, support@universal-devices.com thing is @bmercier will be the one that has to look, and he was paying attention above but went silent.

Spoken routines missing from portal
I'd try deleting the other device in the amazon website, then add the correct device for the gate in the portal, then say "Alexa, discover devices". It's possible the device has already been deleted from the portal.

Spoken routines missing from portal
In "scenes", click the scene to open to scene details and there is a trashcan in the Upper right (iOS). If that doesn't help try using a computer browser at https://alexa.amazon.com I find it's much easier to delete things there.

2477S Rev 8.2 5228 not linking
Tools > Diagnostics > Event Viewer then in the window that pops up change the "Level" drop-down to "3. Device Communication Events."
-
Status vs Control
Another way to think about it..... "Status" is what the ISY already knows, it's not based on a current event, but the value stored in memory (even if that value just changed to it's current value). "Control" is actual events being listened for and reported to the program as they occur. real-time events.

GEO Fence
Yes. You do need a portal subscription however: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Node_Server_Occupancy_V2_%26_UDI_Mobile_app_Instructions Also @Javi will need to confirm if this works with the iOS version, I'm certain it will get added to the iOS version but it actually may not be there yet. If it doesn't there is a version that does, that I've been using for a long time: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Node_Server_Occupancy_%26_Locative_app_Instructions for this one you need a portal subscription and the 3rd party app called Locative. (free version)

UD Mobile - iOS Alpha Testing
Are you using iOS? (you did post in an iOS thread) I just tried enabling/disabling a program, I had no trouble doing so--it works for me, although it uses a "dialog box" rather than "dropdown", so I wondered if you meant iOS or confused the terminology.

UD Mobile - iOS Alpha Testing
@Javi Just to follow up... whatever was causing my crashes you apparently fixed. You'll remember I never had reproducible steps to fail, but whatever was causing is appears to be gone.

Polisy disconnected from server
I agree, open a ticket with support@universal-devices.com

Port Forwarding Issue
A more secure solution than port forwarding (and more reliable) is to subscribe to the ISY portal... It works out to $1/month--paid intially at $23 for 2 years then renewable per 12 or 24 month. Other benefits it allows interface with Alexa/Google Home and access to polyglot in the cloud. While only a subset of nodeservers (36) are available in the cloud (as opposed to local). As well as a bonus Occupancy portal nodeserver than can be used as a geofence, so the ISY can know who's home. For Clarity: If you subscribe to the portal, no port forwarding is needed. Is your Spectrum external IP route-able? If it's in the range 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255 then it's not. (Also 10.x.y.z but most carriers use 100.x.y.z. for carrier grade NAT). Here's an article that explains public vs private IP addresses.

Default e-mail Authentication & Server Issues?
Hopefully you created a separate gmail account just for the ISY to send from. If 10dig@vtext isn't working, but you can send the same elsewhere then the problem is likely on verizon's side. You can also try number@vzwpix.com which is the MMS gateway as opposed to the SMS gateway. The MMS gateway will still accept just text.... (and I don't know how it is at verizon but at @att it's better to use the MMS gateway).

Error when attempting to install module
what error message are you getting?

Error when attempting to install module
it's not a bot, but it's definitely a pre-spaming spammer post... that's why I asked one invalid question along with some he probably can't answer ?
-
Error when attempting to install module
That's odd. Which model controller? What software version? Is the node turned on or off? what error message are you getting, it can't be the one shown above, that's something else.

Detecting loss of Internet
Before I wrote yesterday I scanned the nodeserver list.... I missed Ping (it's not one I use), that's likely exactly what you're looking for.

Newbie to sys nodes and strings trying to make sense of things
I'd still put something in the ELSE of the last program in the daisy chain.... In theory you will never see that message, but without it you could in theory miss an event if something weird happen to the user. You could include the ${sys.node.XXXX.YYYY} replacement for the user number just so if you ever do see it, troubleshooting is instantly easier.... The end result of an empty ELSE at the end of the daisy chain of users is that Murphy Law will apply when you desire it least.....

Detecting loss of Internet
As I recall you have Polisy, you could note that wireless tags aren't updating AND something else isn't updating or some combination and the program could perhaps assume that the internet has disconnected, but maybe that only means Polisy froze up (which doesn't often occur). Maybe tell us more about why or what programs need to disable and there might be a better answer? There's also another route you could take... it's not cheap tho, I use a Ubiquiti Edgemax router with a failover Wan... if the cable internet goes offline it switches over automatically to an LTE modem. I don't have a backup plan for if that connection fails also, but so far it's never happened and if conditions are such that it did we might want to put our head between our knees and prepare to .........

Newbie to sys nodes and strings trying to make sense of things
@mangoIf you didn't think of it, I would recommend you create a NR for "user unknown" and fire a notification using it in the last Else at the end of the daisy chain of users. Without it, if for some reason there is not a user match, there is no notification.
-
Newbie to sys nodes and strings trying to make sense of things
Thinking about this more, the double trip likely comes anytime the user number is changing. When the same user that last operated the lock the User isn't changing. If both change you get the double.... Implementing as I suggested above should resolve the problem.
