Any word on HomeKit? Just upgraded to eisy and purchased an Apple TV in preparation of the integration…

Homekit support will likely be something that will come in a later version, so could be a little while yet.

Took the plunge after returning from a 2 week vacation. My Polisy never seems to take updates well but this one worked like a charm. About 25mins to complete and all seems fine.

First Apple TV can be used as a hub and without an apple tv or a full time mac, homekit wont be available outside your home.

That's good, but if you're looking for push notifications, unless UD Mobile works on AppleTV, which it doesn't as of now, you will only get Security notices (Locks, garage doors, window sensors, etc)

 

As far as the date, it is in late Alpha now. It is not ready for prime-time beta testing yet.

I was told that HomeKit is being tested right now.  They're still ironing out some issues but this is promising.

Upgraded to 5.9.1 and now the Hue Emulator Node server keeps reporting as Connected then Failed then Connected... in UD Mobile - anyone else experience this?

NEVERMIND - stopped after another reboot

Where have you heard this latest from?

 

[Guy Lavoie]

The announcement in January mentioned adding the plumbing for Homekit. I wouldn't call that "being tested" just yet.

EDIT:: FIXED .. change SMTP timeout from 1,000 to 5,000 is fix for SMTP on 5.9.1

 

Was there any fix for the SMTP issue?   I just updated the EISY today (update went smooth, just used the update package button in AC).    I have tried changing the default timeout from 1,000 to 2K, 5K and 20K.      Using smtp.comcast.net, was working on 5.8.4 and is still working on my ISY994 on 4.9.1.

 In the AC, if I go to Configuration > Emails/Notifications > Settings/Groups and click on Test, several seconds go by and then a window pops up with "Mail server failure" and "[[SMTP_ERRORS--1]]"  (same as reported in this thread 2/15)

 

EDIT: 

For me changing the timeout from 1,000 to 5,000 and ensuring I retyped the password correctly (uumm ya, that part is on me..)   fixed it.    So .. still outstanding Q on what changed for SMTP with 5.9.1 but the work around is to up the timing as prior noted in this thread.

Your port should be 587, and TLS should be checked

[junkycosmos]

Thx  and for the 1st time in 15yrs the timeout should be tweaked to be 5 sec instead of good old default 1 sec.   

Good thing we can handle a potentially extra 4 sec delay in mail messages showing up.

I did the update and now my IoX seems bricked.  It is not showing up in the Admin Console finder or is it being assigned an IP address through my router.  

I am able to access it through https://eisy.local:8443/desc only.  When I do I get a long error message.  I have attached a picture of the message below.  

I also tried factory resetting it by pushing the button 10 times then 5 and nothing changed.  

Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried replacing EISY local with the IP address?

Can you SSH into it?

Also a second reboot is needed sometimes.  You may have to do manually.

@matthewjocko

After the update did you clear your java cache and download a new IoX Launcher?

What was your firmware version prior to updating?

I was replying to Matthew Jocko so you should address Matthew

for me JAVA cache does need to be cleared but if not it gives you issue when logging in.  His is that it wont show up at all.

it is not requesting DHCP from my router / not being assigned an IP address.

SSH does not work

I tried a second reboot but still not working.

Do you remember when you last updated it? Within the past couple of months, or much longer before that?
