jerlands Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) I have two separate ISYs in separate locations doing completely different things. I like the portal but I also like the mobile UI of Mobilinc. Portal users are supposed to be able to use mobilink, but in the event one has 2 ISYs in the portal, it seems mobilinc will always connect to only one and always the same one. Maybe my work around is to have two portal accounts, but I am hoping there is another approach. I had thought port forwarding would do it, but maybe that's not possible if using the portal. I expect Michel will clarify these things when he gets a chance. Until the portal gets straightened out for this you could use the portal for one and ddns on the other? scratch that... I had thought you could set up profiles in mobilinc but apparently not. Edit: apparently so Jon... Edited January 23, 2016 by jerlands Quote
Jimbo.Automates Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I thought you could create separate profiles in mobilinc for this. At least in the Android version if you long press the "Selected Profile" you can add a new one. I need this too since I am getting my second ISY for our vacation home.

ccclapp Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Yes, you can have separate profiles . But in all cases my remote profile for Izzy 2 will not work because if it goes to the portal it will populate with Izzy 1 dats and I don't believe I can do the traditional port forward if that isy is a member portal Sorry for the spelling of Izzy but that's what Siri does Quote

Michel Kohanim Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Hi ccclapp, The issue is that MobiLinc does not send the correct packet for subscriptions. That's why we had to use the Preferred ISY in the portal so that we would know which ISY. Unfortunately, at the moment, you really cannot use MobiLinc with two ISYs on the same portal unless you create two accounts in the portal and have the preferred ISY for each. If you go this route, you will also need two usernames. Once you have done this (create an account under your main account), then the process is the same. Make sure you approve the new account in Admin Console | Configuration | Portal. With kind regards, Michel Quote
ccclapp Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Hi, thanks. I will try that. Also can you confirm am I able to use port forwarding if I use the portal or are they mutually exclusive? Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Hi ccclapp, I am not sure how MobiLinc works. If you can create different profiles (for different ISYs), then it should work. With kind regards, Michel Quote
MWareman Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Also can you confirm am I able to use port forwarding if I use the portal or are they mutually exclusive? This works just fine... Michael. Quote
tmorse305 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I just purchased the ISY Portal today, planning to move away from Mobilinc Connect (IOS) as I purchased an Echo today. I configured it without an issue then went to the Mobilinc forum looking for help on configuring Mobilinc to work with the portal. Instead I find an announcement that Mobilinc now works with Echo! I cannot keep up! Can I switch back to Mobilinc Connect portal. Too bad I didn't know this before I burned $50 on a new portal.... Thanks, Tim Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Hi Tim, You can definitely move back to MobiLinc Connect. All you have to do is to send a request to sales@universal-devices.com and request for a refund. Please note that MobiLinc Connect might not be supporting the Connected Home API (i.e. Alexa turn on x) and instead you might have to say something like (Alexa tell mobilinc to do x). So, please do consult with them. With kind regards, Michel Quote

I ran the manage modules and have rebooted the system a couple of times but Mobilinc Connect will not reconnect to ISY. Is there something else I need to do to restore the Mobilinc portal? Thanks, Tim Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Hi Tim, No, you shouldn't have to do anything else at all. As long as you see MobiLinc Portal in Help | About, you should be OK. With kind regards, Michel Quote
tmorse305 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Actually I don't see the Mobilinc Portal listed on the About screen. It is listed under Purchased Modules as Active. Update: Fixed on the UD end, all set now thanks. Edited February 12, 2016 by tmorse305 Quote
tmorse305 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Hi Drexx3, Please make sure the host type is ISY in MobiLinc configuration and that the https URL is my.isy.io. In short, it really shouldn't matter unless there's a bug somewhere. With kind regards, Michel Reading this thread and the Wiki regarding GeoFencing there seems to be a some contradiction. The Wiki says that GeoFencing on Mobilinc will not work with the ISY Portal. But this thread suggests that maybe it should. I have my Mobilinc direct connected to ISY and GeoFencing works correctly. Does anyone know for sure? I thinking of switching the ISY Portal, getting tired of asking Alexa to tell Mobilinc.... I don't use the Notifications but the GeoFencing is a great feature. Thank you, Tim Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hi Tim, Geo Fencing does not work with ISY Portal and MobiLinc. You can instead use Locative (IOS) or Tasker (Android) to do geo fencing with ISY Portal: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Geo_Fencing With kind regards, Michel Quote
tmorse305 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Thank you for the reply Michel, Perhaps I didn't understand the context of your reply to Drexx3 that I quote. His issue was geo-fencing worked with direct ISY connection but not with the ISY portal. I'll use the wiki solution or just stay with a direct connection to keep geo-fencing. Regards, Tim Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hi Tim, I might be wrong but I do not think MobiLinc direct connection ever worked with Geo Fencing as it requires MobiLinc Connect service. With kind regards, Michel Quote
ScottAvery Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Does anyone who has used the IFTTT/Portal approach know how much battery drain the Tasker or Locative apps put on your device? Quote
Jimbo.Automates Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 This was being discussed yesterday https://tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.universal-devices.com%2Findex.php?/topic/16389-Tasker--AutoVoice-Chaining-Voice-Commands-Project&do=findComment&comment=168379 We should probably start a new topic for everyones current experience. I gave up using Tasker geofence because it was not 100% reliable and creating a robust method that only notified on entry and exit was to time consuming for what I wanted, so I just use wifi connected state.

At least it does for me. Jeff Quote
MWareman Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Does anyone who has used the IFTTT/Portal approach know how much battery drain the Tasker or Locative apps put on your device?I've been using the Tasker Autolocation plugin with no noticeable battery hit on my Nexus 6P and also my old Nexus 5 before it. This is because Autolocation registers the geofence with the OS, and since 2013 or so Android has supported hardware assisted geofencing (which Autolocation ties into). When you cross a geofence boundary, the OS tells Autolocation which triggers a Tasker profile, and you take action on that. It's all very power efficient. Full details on the Tasker Wiki page (though pardon the dust - I'm going thru it cleaning it up and adding screenshots) http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Tasker Edited February 25, 2016 by MWareman Quote
