nothing seems to bring the IP back in the GUI or makes eisy.local work again

Try deleting the .state files from UDI. Also clear Java Cache (temporary internet files) and download a new start.jnlp file from the UDI site (click on "My ISY" on the top right).

(not the same problem, but it's where stored information is kept)

The issue of reliably getting the friendly URL to display (I've found anyway) is a local network issue. Either router or device times out during the handshake and cannot get it to reliably show. I'm sure anybody with more network experience will contest this, but from personal experience I've seen some routers never auto find, sometimes auto find, or always auto find the URL. Because of the issues people have had over the last year I've tested with some "old" routers I had access to and the process was fairly inconsistent. Some of the worst offenders were "mesh" router systems. 

Also, some people have reported that IoX Finder window sometimes will report both the IP and the Friendly URL address. That's fine, and has been confirmed as "normal" by UDI. Both go to the same device and since they are discovered automatically are unable to be deleted. 

Once you have either/or in the IoX Finder window you can SAVE the list locally and then LOAD it should the list ever not populate.

Reading through this thread I see an earlier version seemed to have some similar problems with regard to showing 0.0.0.0 as the IP.

I think the steps above might help this issue too. At least clearing the Java Cache and starting admin console fresh might help. 

One last question - are you experiencing any of this on a laptop that you sometimes use outside of the home/network or with VPN? I've found if I'm on my laptop and travel with it and try to log into the ISY my "local" addresses will drop off the list while I'm gone. Typically they will auto discover next time I'm in the home network.

So I fiddled some today determined to see what's going on.

When the IoX launcher starts up, the EISY is responding to a broadcast UDP query. But it's responding with the address that I see in the UI... https://0.0.0.0:8443, which is most likely being ignored by the IoX Launcher client so nothing gets displayed.

If UD can get the reason behind 0.0.0.0 instead of the real IP of the EISY appearing in that field in the UI fixed, we'll probably see resolution of eisy.local by the IoX Finder app fixed, too.

I think you may be having trouble with a service called mDNS [multicast DNS], which uses port 5353 IN/OUT to create local records to simulate a DNS server on the local network. I found this was causing me trouble related to the eisy.local:8443 name resolution. If you have a local host firewall, it may be blocking these ports and services.

Windows svchost.exe is directly involved with this.

You can search for mDNS and find many articles, but here is a reasonable post:

Exploring mDNS was among the many things I went through today; the EISY isn't using mDNS or at least if they think they are, their service is dead and they aren't listening on the port. :) It's listening via UDP and responding to requests that the IoX Finder is sending out; I captured the whole exchange in Wireshark and examined it. Now IoX Finder is also making a variety of other sorts of queries, and I see all sorts of devices on my network responding, including mDNS and NETBIOS name queries. But the only thing coming from the EISY is the UDP packet data I posted above.

I can interact from my desktop using mDNS with all sorts of devices on my same network. Nothing is getting blocked there.

Here's all the mDNS related packets that occurred during my test:

192.168.3.200 is my desktop
192.168.3.41 is the EISY
192.168.3.1 is my gateway/router
192.168.3.7 is my DNS

In fact, during the entire test, there was only one single packet on the network from the EISY -- its response to the UDP query that also went out when the IoX Finder was launched:

 

No.	Time	Source	Destination	Protocol	Length	Info
1317	5.143901	192.168.3.41	192.168.3.200	UDP	1230	20036 → 20036 Len=1188

 

 

In any event, whether the EISY is supposed to support responding to mDNS queries or not, it probably would respond exactly the same way it's responding to this UDP query... with the IP address it thinks it knows -- 0.0.0.0 -- so that really does need some attention from UD I think; then we'll probably see this function reliably.


Here's the UDP query that the EISY is responding to, BTW:

@DSwallow seems like you've got more experience to try to troubleshoot stuff and digging deeper than most would go.

If this is an issue causing you not to be able to access the eisy then I would suggest you open a support ticket for specific help from UDI rather than user-to-user support mostly found here. Their troubleshooting process might be better suited to fixing what might be causing this for you.

Yeah, I know. I'll get there and open a ticket soon. But one more little investigative nugget to follow... :)

SO, I looked through some logs on the EISY and found a clue about what's likely leading to the issue of the IP not being available by whatever code needs it to respond to things like displaying in the Java UI or replying to network queries to resolve eisy.local.

From /var/udx/logs/debug.log, the latest boot includes these messages with regard to nics/network operations:

I would sort of guess here is that there's some sort of disconnect between whatever triggers this program to be querying IP settings from the re0 interface and how they may not yet be current, like if the DHCP request just got processed and some signal is sent and then a query made and those settings received aren't quite yet wherever the program is querying them, then it just spews out an update to the MQTT service storing those settings that it read, even though they're bad. And likely anything else wanting to use or display some of those settings is querying that published topic from MQTT and using it.

Might even be more plausible considering the timestamp on /var/db/dhclient.leases.re0 where a record of the dhcp client leases is kept is one second after the log output above where the bad info is reported in the log file.

[admin@eisy /var/db]$ sudo stat -F /var/db/dhclient.leases.re0 
---------- 1 root wheel 1141 Oct 31 12:49:06 2023 /var/db/dhclient.leases.re0

 

Anyway, I then tried seeing if I could force it to update, maybe by disconnecting/reconnecting the ethernet connection. All that did was make it go unresponsive on the network; Insteon stuff was still behaving, but I could no longer connect to the IP. I had to restart the EISY to get IP connectivity back. When I then went back to the debug.log file, I saw an interesting addition to the end... it now had an IP address in the logged line sending the update to MQTT

Though looking at the earlier entry where it was also sending an IP, there are some entries that are still missing here, specifically the activeIP and activeNIC keys in that message, so I do think this is somehow part of the problem:
 

"activeIP":"\"192.168.3.172\"","activeNic":"\"re0\""



Now, on to opening a ticket and pointing them to this info.

Link to comment

I had an online session with UD support a little while ago, and ultimately the issue was caused by a delayed response to the DHCP request when the EISY boots up. The EISY has a 10 second timeout and then continues its startup/initialization, and at that time there's no IP address assigned, so it just works off the 0.0.0.0 address. The DHCP request did ultimately complete, but nothing in the EISY sees that as an event to trigger any operation to reconfigure itself appropriately. I'm told that when the lease is renewed (or if the Ethernet cable is unplugged/reconnected or the device switches over to WiFi, if configured) that the EISY would see the event triggered and go through the same process of initializing, though may still encounter the DHCP delay and continue having the same IP address issue, and not resolving eisy.local.

We moved the EISY to connect through the built-in switch in my router (a UDM-SE) and went through the reboot process and now saw the DHCP request get responded to immediately, the IP address was properly configured, it showed up in the UI and eisy.local resolved.

Now on my side the DHCP delay was caused because my EISY was connected to a Dell PowerConnect 2848 switch, and apparently there's an issue in the way the Spanning Tree operations configure on a port when the port connects, which it does when rebooting the EISY (i.e., the ethernet port goes dark during the reboot). It then is in a learning mode on the port and blocking at least some of the packets, perhaps the broadcast ones. The solution is to enable the "Fast Link" option on the port on the switch. This leads to the port coming up in Forwarding mode immediately while the port is then monitored to ensure it isn't in a looped connection.

A couple articles I discovered doing a search:

https://serverfault.com/questions/305788/dell-powerconnect-2824-dhcp-takes-30-40-seconds-to-respond
https://www.mcbsys.com/blog/2010/02/gigabit-switch-spanning-tree-causes-slow-logon/

The documentation from the switch about the "Fast Link" option:

Fast Link — When selected, enables Fast Link mode for the port. If Fast Link mode is enabled for a
port, the Port State is automatically placed in the Forwarding state when the port link is up. Fast Link
mode optimizes the time it takes for the STP protocol to converge. STP convergence can take 30-60
seconds in large networks.

So, I will monitor it more closely for a while, but it does seem to be consistent and behaving now. And I'm not sure what other devices I may have that are using DHCP on that switch but I've turned on Fast Link on all the ports except those connected to other switches, so I may end up cleaning up some other odd delays in reboots/initializations.

A few of you folks previously mentioned having a 0.0.0.0 IP address showing in the UI and eisy.local not resolving, so here's a few things you might try to investigate...

One of the EISY services can be restarted which will re-initialize parts of the network operation so if there was an initialization delay getting an IP, once it is configured, this would configure things again. After restarting this service, I did get eisy.local resolving (though we didn't look at the UI specifically to see if the IP was there now, it probably was).

sudo service ud_net_detect onerestart

 

You can also look at the logs to see if there are entries referencing the IP address not be available:

sudo vi /var/udx/logs/log

Look for items like this:

Wed Nov  1 19:21:46 EDT 2023|/usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/eth.ops: error, no ip address for re0 ...
Wed Nov  1 19:21:47 EDT 2023|/usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/eth.ops: error, no ip address for re0 ...
Wed Nov  1 19:21:48 EDT 2023|/usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/eth.ops: error, no ip address for re0 ...
Wed Nov  1 19:21:49 EDT 2023|/usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/eth.ops: error, no ip address for re0 ...



Side effects... when I reboot the EISY I usually have a command prompt doing a ping to watch when it is back up, and with the fixed DHCP, the operation is noticeably quicker.

Without Fast Link enabled on the switch for the connected port:

Daylight Saving Time ended last night. Woke up this morning and none of the stuff that should have happened happened. Programs not running. Open admin console and find that all 300 programs are set to 'Not Enabled'.

Required manual intervention of 'Restart IoX' to correct.

Try power cycling your unit. IF that doesn't work, try restoring a backup.

My Polisy has sunrise and sunset off by an hour this morning as well.

I would suggest power cycling Polisy. Mine was fine this morning.

Also, verify you are on the latest build, v5.7.0_5. 

You can run:

https://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8443/WEB/sysconfig.txt

Substitute your IP address for "x". You may need to click through some warnings. You can use Ctrl + F to search for ISY to locate your version.

Similar issues with my eisy after the time change.  Programs quit running and I had to manually trigger them and they had been running since 11/3 6:55 after I installed PG3 3.2.14 and rebooted.  I rebooted again this AM and what was interesting is that UD Mobile reported the update was complete, again.  But it appears the reboot after the time change fixed everything.

On the latest version for sure and just pulled power for a minute and then booted it back up.  No joy.  Still has both one hour off.  Has them both an hour early.

In response to your post I looked, and sure enough, my sunrise and sunset are both an hour early...

I had a similar problem long time ago for my location in Albuquerque. UDI had to change the rules. 
 

The list of Locations shown when selecting the AC Change Location button is wrong for Albuquerque. It shows the Albuquerque Daylight Saving Rule is America/Phoenix, it should be America/Denver. Phoenix does not change to Daylight Saving. I wonder when that rule was changed. I've never had this problem before.

@Michel Kohanim  I didn't take a screen-shot  :(  What I encountered this AM is my exterior lights didn't go off, and when I dug into it all the last & next run times were blank.  I look at a photocell & turn the lights on and off.  Somewhat similar to the problem I had when programs flagged run at startup never ran that Chris took a look remoting in and saw enough to understand and it appeared to be fixed now in earlier updates.  But after I rebooted it fixed itself this time.  They all worked Fri. night & Sat. AM & PM without intervention but something to do with the time changed cleared all the last/next run times...  ???
