Question about eisy version for upgrade

[andrew77]

I went to the page from this link ( https://eisy.local:8443/WEB/sysconfig.txt) in the announcement but I see many differing version numbers. 

This is at the top

udx-3.9.0_9
Name           : udx
Version        : 3.9.0_9
Installed on   : Fri Apr 11 12:19:36 2025 EDT

If the version is supposed to be above 13.2 I'm way behind?

I read the part where my system could be bricked and want to tread lightly.

This is the version number on the login window popup if that's what I'm supposed to be looking at.

At the very top of the page your OS version is indicate in the line below *** OS ***

What you posted is the UDX version.

*** OS ***
FreeBSD eisy 14.1-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p6 #4 releng/14.1-n267727-74b6c983723c-dirty

I'm looking at this as well.  The first line of my sysconfig.txt says:

FreeBSD eisy 13.1-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p7 #9 releng/13.1-n250182-00935d2e533c-dirty: Tue Feb 28 19:35:27 UTC 2023 

Which seems too old.  According to this link I should purchase a USB flash drive to upgrade:
https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/45672-os-143iox-6-release-is-now-available/

Is there no other way to upgrade?

What if I choose "Upgrade Packages" under the Admin Console Configuration tab?

 

On a side note, my Admin Console is 5.6.0 which seems old.  I am out of the loop and not sure the proper way to do updates anymore, or what updates I should be doing.  EISY OS updates?  Admin Console updates?  BIOS updates?.  I will need to research.

 

 

[andrew77]

So my version then is this? Which seems to say 14.1

*** OS ***
FreeBSD eisy 14.1-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p6 #4 releng/14.1-n267727-74b6c983723c-dirty: Fri Nov 15 12:13:25 PST 2024     root@bsdev14.isy.io:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/eisy amd64
*** Package Information ***

If this is correct then I can just go ahead and upgrade?

As Michel clearly states on that post " If your OS is below 13.2p11 please do not attempt the upgrade. It will brick your system."

Either order the USB flash drive or file a ticket with UDI Support and ask if they'll send you the fw file to create a flash drive yourself, but DO NOT try to Upgrade Packages in AC!

Yes, your installed version is 14.1 which is newer than 13.2p11 so good to go. Be sure to take an IoX backup in AC and a PG3x backup.

Thanks I re-read, and you are right it is very clear!  Thanks for pointing out.  

Just getting confused with some of the terminology as well.  IoX is the traditional Admin Console?  PG3 is Polygot (which I don't believe I use at all).

Yes. Make a backup in Admin Console (File...) and nothing to lose if you also take a backup in PG3x. They are free

[MikeB]

Honestly I don't even know how to get into PG3.  I migrated from an ISY and have not used any newer features.  I use the ISY Launcher to open the Admin Console.

How do I open PG3?

*** EDIT - never mind, found it!

Thank you for clarifying, I'll back up now

Just getting ready to upgrade. I'mm assuming if I don't know what ssh is I don't have to worry about it?

Instructions:

• Backup your Z-Wave if any (Z-Wave | Backup)
• Backup your IoX (File | Backup IoX)
• Backup your PG3 
• Click on Upgrade Packages in Admin Console | Configuration tab. Do NOT use ssh as it will brick your system.

Correct. You won't have to use SSH. Just follow the directions in the announcement post form earlier.

Will it let me know when its done?

I started about 54 minutes ago and the last message I got on my phone was PG3 is starting and that was 42 minutes ago

[andrew77]

I'm still waiting for something on my computer telling me its okay to reboot etc.

Its been about two hours since the last message which said PG3 is starting

This is what my toolbar looks like

I still have a red flag at the bottom of my GUI as well

The release note seemed to indicate there would be an indication as to when to reboot. I have not updated yet so not sure if it does. I think after 2 hours would be okay to reboot. More than likely (are you on macOS?) the admin console window lost the connection to the device and isn't updating. If your mobile device said the device restarted it might be fine to force a reboot. Since I haven't updated not sure what to expect. Letting all you early adopters go through this before I take the plunge. I'm also not local to my device and don't want to blow an evening trying to update it just for a web ui that I don't really want/need to use.

I logged in today and it seems to work fine. It asked me to use my Portal information and says the version is 6.0.0

Everything looks the same. Should it?  Should I be logging in to a different spot?

I'm assuming you're using IoX Launcher to get the Java version of Admin Console. The "eisy-ui" is a different method of attempting to use the admin console. It's still in the early stages of working, but seems to be good for most that are trying it out. I haven't tried it yet.

When I updated my Polisy, it did say that a reboot was now required, which I did from the Admin Console Configuration screen. I imagine that the eisy will be similar.
