The eisy lived up to its name when migrating from my ISY994i... easy! With the announcement of IoX 5.5.4, I decided to perform my first upgrade of the eisy. The upgrade instructions say "Once completed (4 beeps + 1), unplug Polisy." Does that mean 5 beeps? The popup when pressing the Upgrade Packages button also says it can take up to 30 minutes. 

So, it has been over 30 minutes. I haven't heard any beeps, but I also haven't been sitting in front of the eisy the whole time. Is there another way to tell if the pack upgrade is in progress or completed (i.e., how do I know if it's safe to unplug the eisy to proceed with the upgrade)? Will it beep continuously? If not and I missed the beeps, is there something I could grep under /var/isy/FILES/LOG/ to confirm the package upgrades are done? When I look at at Help > About, it now says 5.5.4 for both firmware & UI (which seems like a good sign).

At this point, I'll just wait an hour after clicking the Upgrade Packages button before pulling the plug and hope that was long enough.

 

 

I have read (somewhere) that the EISY does not have a speaker, so no sounds. 

if you have a hdmi monitor and keyboard on the EISY you can monitor the update by viewing the log after you login  

• sudo tail -f /var/udx/logs/log

If you don’t have a monitor and you are comfortable with it, you can ssh into the EISY and then view the log. 

When updating is complete the last line in the log will actual state that the update is complete. 

Another option is… if the update is still in progress, you will see a warning when you start the AC for the EISY, but I have never confirmed that the update is complete if the message is not visible.
