Admin Console Out of Date

[jakevis]

 

So I have been having this issue for quite some time - and on multiple computers. I recently just formatted and rebuilt the PC, and still getting it. Yes I have cleared the java cache and the temp internet files.

How do I fix this?

Any help is appreciated... loading the admin.jnlp really sucks..

Use start.jnlp as detailed in the 5.34 upgrade instructions. Also upgrade to 5.3.4 which is the current release.  

 

See the first post on this page.   https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/33287-release-534-test-build-is-now-available/

Read the instructions prior to upgrading. It'll tell you to clear your Java cache AND use the launcher that is on the SE page as the upgrade.

Thanks, and yes, all those instructions were followed. Infact each time I launch the console I launch from https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp... and as said, the cache has been cleared multiple times (before launching).

Let me read the log for 5.3.4 - I try and stay clear of none stable releases - so was really hoping for a way to fix my current install.

WHen you clear your cache you also need to get rid of any files named start.jnlp or admin.jnlp.  Download new ones fresh.

and just to make certain when you clear the java cache are you manually checking the box to remove "Installed Applications and Applets" --- the box is not checked by default, but must be checked by you as you clear the cache.

While you’re at it, read all the posts saying that 5.3.4 is “stable”.  It has been available since July 2021 and no other updates since, so that’s a fairly safe indication that it’s good to use.  There were slight updates since 5.3 that are good just to have implemented in general.  
 

But it seems that you have an old saved file of admin.jnlp that’s getting used. 

One run of the start.jnlp you’re getting should put the “ISY Launcher” icon on your desktop to use for future access. You shouldn’t have to load anything from a website each time you want to access the admin console.

To add to what @Geddy just said... the words "test build" were a bad choice for labeling the last couple of build (following 5.3.0), it really would have been better if they had simply been labeled "update 5.3.4".  

The specific problem with labeling of releases is that 5.3.0 (which is now 1.5 years old) is that it is the officially z-wave certified release.  5.3.1, 5.3.2. 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 are all minor relases that all only contain fixes for issues found in 5.3.0... Nothing more new.  So why are the label test build?  "Test" was a bad word choice, as mentioned above "update" might have been better.  It's a sticky situation tho because 5.3.0 is the only officially certified version.  So what doesn't UDI get these minor releases certified as well?  Cost.  UDI must make a significant cash payout for The Z-wave Alliance to test and certify a new version.  

As @Geddy mentioned 5.3.4 has been available for 8 months now... there are no known stability complaints or bugs.
