The best way to search them out for identification purposes is to click the "My Programs" folder and then "copy folder to clipboard", paste it into notepad then do a search on [Not enabled] and [Run at startup] (don't use my strings verbatim I'm not sure If I got the case correct without looking)

I've never timed my 994 backup because I usually start it and do something else. I just did tho, backup size is 259kb in 4 minutes. Watching the progress bar different elements seem to be faster/slow than other types. SO it apprears to be not just about size but what is being packed up: does the new backup still only backup IoX or is it also including polyglot?

and programs disabled via a folder can't be manually run, nor run by another program.

@RDLSAT Simply put, UD just doesn't use that marketing method, in all the years I've been around here it's never been a thing.

I'm guessing here.. but try right clicking and disabling Garage close real and Garage close open. One of the side effects of upgrading v4 to v5 is that purposely disabled programs are left enabled. The only real reason to have Garage open and Garage close that just run another program is if those other programs are disabled? I can only guess because its not obvious what runs Garage open and Garage close. more info: When a program is disabled it can be run by another program, it won't however run because of the Condition in the IF statement becoming true.

It's NOT intuitive whatsoever... set the dropdown then push the button that says On Level to the LEFT of the dropdown.

I do it by accident sometimes. Just start another instance but clicking IoX launcher again (or running admin.jnlp again--whichever you normally use). or as @asbril points out, on another computer. The limitation is that only 10 "somethings" can create subscriptions at once. What's a "something"? examples include the admin console, mobile apps, other software such as Home Assistant, etc To see how many subscriptions are currently in use http://IP.of.the.ISY/rest/subscriptions (enter your admin console credentials when prompted for user/pass). Edit to add: for polisy/eisy you need to add port 8080 to the url; ie. http://IP.of.the.ISY:8080/rest/subscriptions Also, change IP.of.the.ISY to an actual IP address.

do you have the Java memory parameter specified? https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Admin_Console_is_very_slow_or_hangs I've actually recently discovered from a stackoverflow thread that using both -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m works best for me. My laptop has alot of memory so 1024m doesn't phase it, if yours has less you might try -Xms512m -Xmx512m

Open a ticket with UD support... you likely need more assistance at this point than a user to user forum can give https://www.universal-devices.com/my-tickets/

Are you adding the port when you manually add to finder? 994’s didn’t need it. Https://ip.of.pol.ISY:8443/desc or http://ip.of.pol.ISY:8080/desc replace ip.of.pol.ISY with the ip address. how long did you wait before you unplugged it? You could have perhaps interrupted it.

I suspect the IP address of Polisy changed. Waiting might help, or you could try to find the new IP.

try the internet, just google 3D print service... I don't currently have one I recommend, I used to use a guy that seems to have vanished (probably because he couldn't make money because he honestly didn't charge enough... I even told him he should charge more).

Really? I realize that your frustrated, but your rant above you're literally blaming Universal-devices for all your problems. That's not fair. By your own admission, in the second sentence: Then you thought about using it with Smartthings, but then got mad when Universal-devices didn't have the part you needed because it's been superseded in the product line. Then you go on to rant that your ISY is not even that old, that it was purchases in 2019... which was 4 years ago. Do you really expect to find parts for 4 year old electronics at your favorite computer store? At 4 years it's a big maybe. As far as Canadian Shipping I'm not sure specifically why UD stop shipping directly to Canada but I do know that it was exorbitantly expensive then they did. and who cares that a supplier is 3 times zones away? If I order from UD it's two times zones away! The original problem might have been that you didn't do as much homework as you should have before jumping in and ordering a z-wave lock. Depending on which version of z-wave it has the range might not be great enough without repeaters. Also not all z-wave is compatible with all z-wave. I know, it should be, but fact is it's not. Take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself if Universal-Devices really deserved to be blamed for all your problems. The truth is you don't really have any idea what you're doing, you just know the outcome that you want which is ultimately a working z-wave lock.

While more expensive I'm sure if you pay the return charges as well you can make arrangements with Nilachi Data Systems (the ebay guy, its a one man operation) to overnight the package. Still a couple days of down time, but its better than no home automation. Can't say the same for insteon proper they're a little bigger but you could certainly ask, their email queue no longer has a long delay

you should have all of these: udi_tree.state udi_frame.state udi_pgm.state udi_finder.state udi_launcher.state did you find finder and launcher at c:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp or someplace else?

what happened when you deleted the .state files?

Bingo! Please follow this instruction: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Admin_Console_Minimized/Invisible_and_Cannot_be_Restored it sounds like the admin console is either 1) minimized or 2) on another monitor (a case that occurs when people sometimes but not always plug in a second monitor. FWIW... from another section of this thread... the .state files also are how some settings can survive clearing the java cache.

more than a small team... 2023's focus for the entire year is voice control. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2022/12/20/year-of-voice/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/with-voice-assistants-in-trouble-home-assistant-starts-a-local-alternative/

The new Insteon says March for new PLMs. The new Insteon company also offers PLM repair services. There's also this repair service operate through ebay. the ebay guy also posts in this forum.

@j.rieff I'm unclear if you have reached the point that you installed the firmware on your new card. I wouldn't expect "lan" to work prior to that. Also did you try "cloud"? I explained the difference above. Cloud does not mean processing in the cloud, it is where the file is downloaded from only. Please use cloud. There is an option in the portal to upgrade firmware, i've already covered the reasons not to use that but said try it if you want... you're on your own tho if you do. I've never used it and constantly read in the forum of people in trouble from using it. I've asked publicly why the option even exists if it's not to be used and never gotten an answer.

It locates the device on your network. Should work, it retrieves a copy of the admin console from the ISY. Try cloud instead which retrieves it from UDI's server.

Note to add: disable virus/firewall protection

You should have just deleted admin.jnlp from were you were. Since you cleared the java cache, you likely need to clear it again, making sure to check the box "installed applications and applets". At this point also please remove all files named start.jnlp or admin.jnlp that are laying around, so that we aren't picking up old versions of anything. Then download the launcher again and run it, the first time it runs it should put the IoX launcher icon back on your desktop.

@asbril I don't have any of the bulbs, but here are some building blocks for you... First, you need 2 automatons. First automation: Trigger: sun @sunset conditions: none Actions: Whatever "Device" actions you need to turn the bulbs to 100% blue Second automation: Trigger: Time: at 10:00PM Conditions: none Actions: Whatever "Device" actions you need to turn the bulbs on 100% White Wait 10 seconds Whatever "Device" actions you need to turn the bulbs off.

the enclosure is for eisy... with Polisy it plugs onto the board and the antennas mount the Polisy cabinet. The enclosure is only used externally for eisy.
