Can the eisy be setup and configured using a PC connected to the Ethernet port just like my 994i  or do you have to use udmobile/wireless?  I was looking for documentation but couldn't find anything.  Where is the documentation located or is it available yet?  Thanks. 

I guess a clearer way to phrase my question is does the Admin Console work the same way on eisy as it does on a 994i with the browser interface?  Browse to the IP address of the eisy and wa-lah, there it is same as a 994i?

Well, the preferred way to get to the Admin Console has been with the ISY Launcher, using the file 'start.jnlp'.  It's been this way for a while now.

 

Duhhh... I thought my icon was a hyper-link and it's actually a shortcut to admin.jnlp.  It's been so long since I set that up.  Sounds like I need to get an eisy and start fooling with it.  I just hate getting stuck with trying to do everything on my iPhone but it sounds like the same interface as on my 994i will be available on the eisy and udmobile is an enhancement/additional feature.  Am I correct?  I DDNS/port forward/NAT into my 994i from the internet through my firewall and I want to keep that up & running.

For now at least, the Admin Console and Java aren't going away.  UDMobile is available for Android and iOS, iPadOS and MacOS on machines running M1 or M2 chips.  I can run it on my iMac just fine.

It isn't a substitute for the Java Admin Console yet.  It's getting there, but I don't if it ever intended to completely replace the Admin Console.  Someone at UDI will have to address that.

You can securely run the Admin Console from the UD portal, if you have a portal account.  Log into the portal (https://my.isy.io), click on:

Select Tool | Information | ISY Information

and you'll see a long URL that you can use in the ISY Launcher to connect to your ISY remotely.  Safely and securely...  No DDNS necessary, and no holes in your firewall.
