Now I just need to figure out how this works.

This would be a good start

First impression, I clicked to create a tile and got a list of my nodes.  Every folder was fully expanded by default.  The standard admin console seems to do this too.  This kind of defeats the whole idea of putting things in folders.  You should have them all default to closed and let the user drill down to what they want.  Having all the folders expanded is almost the same as not having folders.

Some will prefer "All Expanded" to start with. Eventually I will add Expand All/Collapse All buttons at the top.

In addition, I would say that instead of drilling down your folders, the search function is probably best to quickly get to the node you want.

Collapse all would be appreciated.  Expand all would not be a button I would ever press.  

Search function is super helpful when you know the name of what you are looking for, but it is not uncommon to not recall the exact name of what you are looking for. 

Why someone would want them all expanded is lost on me.  If that is what you like, save yourself the extra work and don't bother making any folders in the first place.

I have been following this topic very intently.  I finally got eisy-ui installed using ssh.  I have tried all combinations of commands to activate the new eisy-ui but to no avail. I finally tried http://eisy.local and https://eisy.local and the a login screen was presented.  I put in my e-mail address the changed my password (had forgotten it) and the system give me a message about an internet server and would not let me continue.  Anyone have any idea how I should continue.  Thanks in advance.

After conversing with bmercier about this issue, it was determined that my eisy UUID was not register on the portal.

UPDATE

[apostolakisl]

@bmercier

Is the eisy ui intended to only be a user interface or an administrative interface?  As a user interface in my situation would get very limited use, but using it as administrative interface would be golden.  

Writing programs, creating/editing scenes, working on notifications, network resources, all that stuff.  The java admin console is just always hanging up.

this folder issue was brought up a while ago in the alpha.  the response was that the fix comes with the next major isy update (perhaps the one @bmercier refers to above coming next week).

Troubles here.  I can only assume it is related to this update, but not sure.  I haven't done anything else.

Things in my house weren't working.  I Logged into admin console to see what was up, it had a pop error "loading nodes: retry".  It said "linking" in the bottom left corner.  Never seen this before.  It kept doing it and doing it.  I finally power cycled. 

Opening iox finder, listed was just a single ISY at https://mylocalip/desc    After I did the upgrade yesterday, it listed multiple versions of ISY at different ports.  Now just the one.

I now had to use my portal user/pass to log in even when selectin "lan".  OK, I think that was to be expected.

But what is up with it stuck in "loading nodes" and not doing anything.

@bmercier

 

EDIT:  One good thing seems to have happened now.  My java admin console is now staying alive.  Prior to this, the admin console would lose connection after just 10 or 15 minutes and I would have to re-login.  It has now been up continuously for 19 hours.

Just to be more specific;

When logging in: 

If uuid is not in the account, eisy-ui will offer you to add it to the accunt.

Also, if uuid is in the account but not "approved" in the admin console, it will auto-approve.

There was however a bug related to that logic, and it is now fixed.

It is intended to be both a user interface (The home page), and an admin interface (the other stuff).

Next big piece under development is Programs. One of the goals is to get rid of the admin console.

This means that IoX is somehow having trouble. That is not related to eisy-ui.

The "loading nodes" error you see in eisy-ui means that it is requesting /rest/nodes from IoX, and it is not responding.

Are you still having trouble? If so, you need to open a ticket. 

If you were able to load the admin console, that tells me that IoX is actually working (even if you connected through port 80 or 443).

That could be explained this way:

If IoX is having intermittent troubles, that would kill the subscription, and thus, force you to restart AC.

But getting the subscription from eisy-ui, this means eisy-ui has been up all the time without errors. It gets the events from MQTT. Even if IoX restarted, or even if MQTT restarted, eisy-ui reconnects in the background and continues to feed the active subscriptions.

No, what @apostolakisl describes is a design choice to hace all folders expanded by default. The only change coming regarding this will be buttons to collapse all/expand all.
