Michel Kohanim Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Hello All, This is a major release that upgrades the OS to 14.1p6, includes Initial Matter support, installs HomeKit plumbing, installs eisyui plumbing, and fixes many INSTEON, Z-Wave, Zigbee, and plugin issues. BEFORE YOU START 1. It's imperative that you take a backup of your IoX, Z-Wave, and PG3 settings. 2. This upgrade is upgrading your OS. As such, the unit will reboot in the process and the Admin Console will simply get disconnected (does not close). Please do not turn off the unit till you can get back to the Admin Console. 3. If you have never upgraded your unit, it's best to make sure you have release 13.1 or 13.2 of the OS (https://eisy.local:8443/WEB/sysconfig.txt). If you do not, please do not upgrade. 4. In order to get Matter supported on WiFi, we had to change WiFi settings so that it will now use 802.11a/g which is significantly slower than 802.11ac that you are used to. Although you won't see much impact for command/control, download speeds for local Admin Console will be slower. It's our top priority to get WiFi back to the ac range you are used to. -- Polisy does not support Matter when connected using WiFi. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Backup Z-Wave and then IoX 2. Backup PG3 3. Please ONLY use the Admin Console | Configuration tab | Upgrade Packages button. Do NOT use ssh. 4. Unit will reboot and Admin Console will become unresponsive. Do NOT attempt reboot until you can get back to the Admin Console. Enhancements - Faster boot times. - Power button no longer allows package upgrade. - Homekit service using Matter Bridge. This requires a plugin that will be available next week. - eisyui service. Currently in development. - Matter Initial support for light bulbs and plugin modules: -- WiFi direct. -- WiFi through a Border Router such as Google Nest Hub or Apple HomePod. -- Thread through a Border Router. - Zigbee -- Support Relative Humidity and Temperature Measurement Clusters. -- Support thermostats. - INSTEON -- LED Control for i3 Dial and i3 Paddle. - Programs -- Added 'Unix Date/Time (seconds)' to the set of system values you can assign to a variable. - Admin Console - Log Viewer and Capture for Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and other logs. Fixes - System -- Infrequent crash at iox boot up due to timing. -- SMTP mail removing new lines. - Plugins -- Wemo/Roku support through WiFi. - Z-Wave -- Fixed problem where Z-Wave migration would fail to migrate any Z-Wave devices. - Zigbee -- Fixed problem of nodes not being created for devices with multiple buttons. -- Query Zigbee devices after they are added. - INSTEON -- Fixed problem where some commands were missing from InlineLinc devices. -- Fixed problem where INSTEON would stop responding (usually caused by using I3 Dial). -- i3 Paddle and i3 Keypad buttons default links. - Programs -- Fixed problem where node status changes caused control conditions to run (only affected plugin nodes). -- Show Unix Time status values as Timestamps - Admin Console -- Some characters not displayed correctly in Admin Console. For Developers -- Plugin timestamp support. -- Allow plugins to define their own status names in nodedefs. -- Fill in device type field for Zigbee (so Philips hue can be recognized). -- Added <rpnode> to Zigbee nodes. -- IoX events are now posted to MQTT. -- Fix ISO8601 Timestamps for node property history and events. With kind regards, Michel 4 5
