Release 5.9.1 discussion

[Guy Lavoie]

Now that it's officially out, lets discuss our observations and questions.

My question is about this in the release posting:

- 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.

 

Where does that leave the Zmatter dongle? Not functional yet, something else?

This release just dropped today (2/10/24). 

Who's installed it so far?

[TUhl01]

Installed about an hour ago.  Do not see a tab to add a Matter device.  Other, all seems to be as before update.

[Mark Sanctuary]

I upgraded without issues. It was smooth. The UDI phone app kept sending notifications about the progress. INSTEON working fine. I don't have any Zigbee or Z-Wave devices.

Looking forward to the upcoming plugin mentioned in the release notes that will enable homekit.

I have also installed with same issue of no clear way to add device.  No option for this on UDMobile either.

[Mecheng70]

I just upgraded without really knowing as I just happen to log in a the system was requesting a reboot.  Then I clicked the upgrade no realizing it was a major upgrade. (saw email post click) Unit has been down for 30 minutes now (1240 PST).  

 

Edit: I am currently at an hour and the unit is not back up.  OS was at 13.2 last time I checked

Same here.  Glad to hear I'm not the only user not seeing Matter in either application.  A ticket has been submitted on my end. 

Just received this reply regarding my ticket on Matter not appearing:

After the upgrade, it's no longer sending the MAC to a router but a DHCP UID number (which is much longer) - anybody with DHCP reservations be sure to update them!

Confused on this as I do have DHCP reservation and managed switch.  when I ping eisy, I get:

How are you determining the DHCP UID?

I just checked my DHCP server, was much the easiest.  It's standard BSD though so I'm sure you can find it via ssh as well.

I think that I am hosed.  can't ssh into the eisy.  not accepting my password.  I may have to put a ticket.

Same here (I upgraded my test Polisy, I'll do my eisy once the new version kinks are worked out), but the admin console logs in fine. I now see the new "Matter" heading, after turning Matter support On in Configuration. My Polisy has the zmatter board in it.

Wait, there's more!

I got in by doing "ssh admin@192.168.0.137"  (the IP address)

After the update to 5.9.1 my router still shows the eisy mac address

[Mecheng70]

My upgrade isn't going so well.  can't ssh into the device with the admin username and password.  Can't connect with bluetooth, adding a monitor is able to see the login screen but the login screen will not allow me to pass it with the username/password (username and password was not and has not changed).

That's known. For ssh, try

ssh admin@<ipaddress>

that doesn't work.  I have a monitor and keyboard connected and the username and password do not work. also have quite a few errors.

[Guy Lavoie]

Looks like your OS upgrade didn't go so well.

[larryllix]

Looks like this will only be the second upgrade I won't install since v3.xxx when I bought my ISY994. Too scary and the upgrades don't matter yet.

[johnjces]

Looks like I won't be an early adopter! 

How long did this upgrade take for those of you that were successful?

Thanks.

I did not see any issues at all after I left it alone for a half hour, came back and logged in, then let the admin console do the query all, looked at the devices and programs and seemed normal.

Also, no issues with all of my javascript routines that scrape the rest interfaces of nodes, status, log, program, variables.

I thought I might have an issue with some of the Polyglot nodes, but it turns out I just had to wait until they did their next polling cycle and then the status of the devices updated.

So, all working BAU for me at least.

About 10 to 15 minutes, but this was on my test Polisy, with very little devices and programs (if that makes any difference).

[oberkc]

Upgraded here.  It took not much time, probably less than 20 minutes.  All appears well, but I have not tried anything other than logging in and noting that the Admin console looks normal.  (I don't see anything related to matter other than the ability to enable it under the configuration tab).

Now...time to see if I can figure things out.

[Guy Lavoie]

I just updated UD Mobile on my android phone (new version dated Feb 10), and the settings now show an option to add Matter devices, using QR codes. I haven't seen any options anywhere (in UD Mobile or admin console) to define Matter routers, however that's done or configured.
