Release 2.6.15 beta is now available and may be downloaded immediately .

 

For fixes and enhancements, please peruse our beta forum at http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=930. You may also post your comments/questions and issues relating to 2.6.15 to this forum.

 

This release provides the following important features:

1. 99i Series Optional Modules (Help->Purchase Modules)

--> Webserver Module: allows you to use your ISY as a mini webserver to serve up your own files, applications, etc. You need this module for the REST interface (see developers forum)

2. i2 Support

Please make sure you go back to automatic mode (Link Management->Advanced Options->Automatic). In this mode, all database communications are in i1 mode (except for motion sensor) and all i2 applicable commands use i2. This is the best mode to use.

to_lighter,

 

We never figured out why you cannot upgrade your ISY while I can remotely. If you don't wish to find the root cause, then please send your URL + userid/pwd to tech@universal-devices.com and I'll upgrade it for you remotely. On the other hand, if you would like to figure out the root cause, then please set up a time with our tech support.

 

Drosen,

 

Hi, hope all is well. Is this a 99 or 26? And, did ISY reboot after it finished the upgrade?

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks Michel,

 

Must have been some kink of network quirk. From my laptop I could not upgrade the ISY with either Safari or Firefox over WiFi. From my desktop, which is connected to the network by ethernet, the upgrade went without a hitch.

 

Cheers!

I've noticed that sometimes when I come into the Admin Console it will show the Ezrain status and sometime they are blank. If I go out and turn the first zone off then it updates the status. This has been happening for quite a while. It wasn't important, but I'm curious. Is this normal?

Just upgraded one of my 2 ISY units which happens to be the ISY-26. I observed a successful upgrade and reboot, HOWEVER, in the "ABOUT" drop down, the version remains 2.6.14. I think this is a bug as the code is indeed different. (I actually verified the "...display device links... " COMPARE bug is fixed.)

 

I don't know if this is the same for the ISY-99i, but will do that upgrade later today and report.

Hi Dave,

 

It seems that the upgrade is failing. We have been able to reproduce this problem and are working on a fix now.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

 

Well, this is very weird...

 

VE does display 2.6.14, but the upgrade obviously got loaded, rebooted and came up successfully.

 

Is there a possiblity that the link to the new f-w is pointing to the .14 version?

I upgraded from 2.6.14 to 2.6.15 without any problems. One thing I did learn when I first upgraded my firmware is it does not like NOD32 Antivirus. So I simply disable NOD32 each time I upgrade the Firmware and it works great every time now.

 

So if anyone has problems upgrading to the latest firmware you might want to try disabling your antivirus first and then enable it once you finish installing the firmware.

 

I also noticed with 2.6.15 that the Keypad LED Brightness button is working. 8)

 

Thanks,

Steve

We have released a new firmware version "2.6.0" to fix the issue upgrading the ISY-26 to this latest firmware release. Please follow the steps detailed in the 1st post of this thread. In short:

 

- download/install firmware 2.6.0 (do not use a previously saved copy)

- download/install firmware 2.6.15

 

Sorry for the inconvenience!

One minor thing I've noticed with 2.6.15. When I start the ISY interface on the list of devices, it seems to indicate that the I/O Linc Relay is on when it isn't. When I do a query on it then it changes correctly to off. It is a little disconcerting because the I/O Linc is connected to our gas fireplace.

Hello dss,

 

Thanks so very much for the feedback. We will get right on it. Is it the output or the input that has the wrong state? If the output, is it in any other scenes? If the input, is it controlling a scene?

 

With kind regards,

Michel
