  1. Some documentation is in the wiki eisy user guide found here: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Eisy:User_Guide#Can't_Find_eisy These specific buttons have not been addressed yet and are from the Polisy side so not sure if/how they apply to eisy at this time. I’m sure UD will update and provide more info as they are worked out. I’d say don’t push random buttons if you don’t know what they’ll do and if current processes don’t specifically suggest pressing those buttons.
  2. @SLiss and @EWhite have either of you tried this (from the Wiki)? https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Eisy:User_Guide#Can't_Find_eisy You might need to add manually. If you’re pinging the device (or connecting via SSH) then you know the IP Address…..follow the process to add using the known IP.
  3. @dbwarner5 mine didn't appear to be in a loop either. I never tried to figure out what was running. I just knew it wasn't doing anything and went with the second part that Michel posted and it processed the update just fine. I don't mean that you would have a choice to skip something. That process of updating should bring you all the way up to the "current version" as of this moment in time. Meaning it wouldn't update to 5.5.0 then you'd have to update again to 5.5.2. You should be able to run the command and once it updates and reboots you should be at 5.5.2. Oh, and after running the updates I think I ran a shutdown command in SSH. I then went back and ran another "Update Packages" just to be sure it was cleaned up. I think others commented about doing that too.
  4. I don't think so. There were some errors a couple of weeks ago trying to go from 5.4.5 to just 5.5.0. I thought they were sorted out, but maybe not. Check this solution offered by @Michel Kohanim. Step #2 resolved for my update problem at the time. Going from 5.5.0 to 5.5.2 seemed to work just fine. You might skip 5.5.0 if updating at this point. I forget which update got me a little worried as I had a solid left light and blinking 2nd and 3rd lights, but after a while everything finished and was working fine on the Polisy.
  5. @br928s4 Did you happen to have ISY Launcher installed on the computer previously? You may need to clear java cache even though you say it's a fresh download of Java. I ran into this issue ages ago after a simple Java update the icon went away and never added when running start.jnlp. Clear java cache (make sure all three boxes are checked). Then try running start.jnlp again. That should add the UD IoX Launcher icon (ISY Launcher has been renamed IoX Launcher).
  6. IoX Finder = ISY Finder They are the same. UD changed the name a little while back getting ready for the eisy release, but they act the same.
  7. That's okay. Moved it to the proper place. First and foremost - make sure your User Interface (UI) and Firmware match when you do log into Admin Console. That can bungle up some GUI issues. UI/FW must match exactly (including date/time code). Did you get a power supply that was proper voltage output? from the wiki: "You can try any power supply that outputs anywhere between 5 volt and 30 volts,center positive, 2mm barrel connector" (But I'm sure you checked that from your previous thread) What you're experiencing now seems to indicate some issues with antivirus software. Are you running any 3rd party anti-virus or firewall programs? You need to turn those off, clear java cache (be sure to select all three boxes in this process), then run fresh download/install of IoX Launcher (previously ISY Launcher, aka start.jnlp) that you download directly from UD site or UD Wiki. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Installing_the_Admin_Console_Icon_on_Your_Desktop Java Cache options:
  8. True, they're not available these days, but there are repair service options. One by the new Insteon and one by a fellow forum member through ebay - https://www.ebay.com/sch/nilachidatasystems/m.html Not sure how Homelinc is talking to these devices, but that's great if it's not having to talk through the ISY. And Keypads (do you mean like the 6 button or 8 button Insteon switches?) should control everything locally just as they always do. What is HomeLinc? To me that's just a garage/gate opener remote. The new Insteon is there to support their devices. If you might contact them they might be able to troubleshoot the device. Even if connected to the ISY. Otherwise, new PLMs are expected to be in stock early in 2023 so you might be able to find one sooner than later.
  9. @andrew77 not sure if it would help at this point, but in the programs tab you can right click on a program and next to last option is "Find/Replace". It opens this window: You might be able to figure out what devices was missing. It also gives the option to find "Raw Text". I haven't used this much in the past, but know it's an option. Might allow you to find all the places you have this "Response type 10" showing up and you can follow the bread crumbs back to what device was being referenced. More than likely it was a node server that either is no longer installed or not connecting correctly. If you're running node servers. Here's an old post that referenced this when upgrading to 5.x: (Found with Google Site Search)
  10. @bmarsh What device are you trying to upgrade to 5.5.2? Recently you posted about updating your ISY994. Note that 5.5.2 is only for Polisy and eisy devices. The last release for the ISY994 was 5.3.4 found in the Current Release area of the forums.
  11. Sorry...don't know about the steps. Just providing the link to the information that OP was asking for. My guess is this might be for people (like me) that are running a Polisy, but pushing data to the ISY994. So restoring the Polisy to eisy might put the ISY994 information into the ISYs menu on eisy dashboard. Just guessing. Again, don't know...haven't tried the steps. Just provided the link.
  12. General steps seem to be in the wiki. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Eisy:User_Guide#Migrating_from_994/Polisy_to_eisy I'm not sure I understand your question (or overall post as you ask the question then appear to answer it yourself). For the z-wave/ZMatter questions I can't answer that. I hadn't used Z-wave in the past so just connected the ZMatter dongle and about to setup first Z-wave device. Hope it is simple. I've always just had Insteon primarily for the ISY.
  13. Geddy replied to SHM's topic in UD Portal
    I don't think it's available any further. Seems like Portal Occupancy was also part of Polyglot Cloud that got shut down in Feb 2022. I know others use Locative on iOS to trigger geofence events, but not sure how it is being done. Perhaps if it had been setup prior to shutting down of PGC something is still working for them.
  14. Geddy replied to AlexE's topic in eisy
    How are you trying to connect to the web interface? If just typing in the eisy IP make sure you add :3000 to the end of the IP. So it shoudl be: http://<eisy.ip.ad.here>:3000 Otherwise you can access it from IoX Launcher: (Selecting Polyglot V3 option) If you can't access it how do you think you can tell it's running?
  15. Geddy replied to MFBra's topic in ISY994
    No, I meant like a 3rd party app or UD Mobile. Even though some will suggest that 170001 errors are informational and could be ignored I wondered why you had "[UDSockets] RSub:32 error:6" following that. It was as though a 3rd party app was leaving something open in a connection with the ISY. Perhaps that the node server, but don't know enough to say for sure. I had seen Mobilinc put errors into the log with UDSockets in the past (long, long time ago) so made me wonder. Indeed. If you've worked with the node developer and they suggest it's ISY related perhaps the best step is to open a support ticket, provide the error log from the ISY. What device are you running the node server on? What version of Polyglot are you running? Are you using a Polisy or 3rd party device running PG2? If might be good to also include the Polyglot log package in your support ticket. Submit a Ticket: https://www.universal-devices.com/my-tickets Good luck! Post back how this gets resolved.
  16. If you had searched the forums you probably would have eventually found those links. They've been posted in many places. It was just recently that UDI offered the kit for making the conversion. I had been suggesting that recently, but with that out of stock (currently) if it's mission critical then Amazon to the rescue. Otherwise, hopefully UDI gets some back in stock and can ship soon.
  17. Geddy replied to MFBra's topic in ISY994
    @MFBra A few questions to try to help us out: 1 - what firmware are you on? 2 - please confirm UI and Firmware match (admin console Help -> About) 3 - What are you attempting to do that is causing this error? You just mention sending commands, but why? 4 - Are you running an app to access ISY? If so, which app? 5 - Are you on macOS? It appears from screen shots to be macOS. 6 - What's your general location? Early in your first post it appears to be using a time server in Brazil. (a.st1.ntp.br). If you're not there then you need a different NTP server. The wiki has a long list of error codes to check - https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Errors_And_Error_Messages Additionally, it would help us out if you explained what issue you've been working on with @xKing that brought you back to needing ISY help. Ultimately, this might need to be handled through a support ticket with UDI, but with answers and more information perhaps somebody on the forums can help get you squared away somewhat.
  18. It might, but most have been getting this (or something similar) and making their own connection as @Brian H points out above. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00006IRQA (DB9 to RJ45 Modular Adapter - F/F) Then check your serial to USB that you might have. If not you can get this: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00IDSM6BW
  19. @andrew77 are all devices the same type in Alexa? Some might be a switch and others might be a light. There might be a difference. Just a guess/hunch. I've just always used "set x to y" for simple use.
  20. Looks like a release might be pending. Are you able to hit "no" and proceed into existing admin console session? This should probably clear up during the day.
  21. @skydvrz Do you think you have a program stuck in a loop? Have you recently added/edited any programs? If you're able to get into the admin console look at the programs tab then summary and see if something keeps running. You can sort the programs by last run time to see what has run recently. As @matapan you might want to check the power supply as well. If acting normal the ISY should mostly just have a blue light on (I often say it's brighter than the sun because it really lights up a room). If it's not super bright then it's possible your power supply has gone bad and something is running to cause the ISY to power cycle when it's not getting enough power.
  22. Personal preference. Not required to update if you aren't considering changing what you're doing. The current Firmware would be 5.3.4. There are some significant steps to read through, but if what you're saying is that you have a fairly basic list of programs then it would probably be easy to upgrade. My tip for anybody upgrading to 5.3.4 is to copy your programs to Notepad (or any plain text editor) by right clicking on the root program directory and selecting "Copy to Clipboard" (last option on that menu). Paste that into the text editor and save it so you have all the data needed to repair/replace any programs that might get messed up in the process. Mostly just "adjust scene" programs needed a lot of manual help. Others were fine, but disabled programs sometimes become enabled so you would need to know what to disable again. If you're staying with the ISY994 and not running a Polisy or eisy to put node servers into play then 4.9 is just fine. If you're wanting to try out UD Mobile then you would need to upgrade to 5.3.4. But mostly that's your call.
  23. Geddy replied to bigDvette's topic in eisy
    I think you mean your ISY firmware is 5.5.0. I have not had this issue with setting the time or the location. Sounds like it might be UI issue. I'd suggest clearing Java Cache and reloading IoX Launcher (fresh download of start.jnlp). What computer OS are you using? Win, Mac, other? PG3x on eisy should auto discover the ISY running on the same system. It should appear in the ISYs tab with a checkmark next to an active ISY UUID. If try to add manually and you can't get it to load with "localhost" then use the ip 127.0.0.1. You shouldn't need to add user/pass in this step. Though I haven't attempted this to confirm. Mine just worked right away. eisy/PG3x has moved all the password settings into IoX so if you change the password for the system through the admin console it will update everywhere (this is a huge change from Polisy process). Make sure you check out the eisy user guide in the UD Wiki for additional setup steps or troubleshooting.
  24. @andrew77 looks like you might be on macOS. That sometimes has issues with Java and IoX Launcher. If you run into trouble again you should search the forums for mac and launcher issues. I remember specifically @Bumbershoot made this post that might help. Not sure why it's tricky this way, but that's life with Java. Some complain...most have no issues.
