Rebooting either an eisy or a polisy (yes, I have both) that is running IOX 6.0.0_4 causes an update to 6.0.3_3 , WITHOUT any update being requested. Why is the update occurring when no update was requested? After the reboot and automagic update to IOX 6.0.3_3, eisy-ui / settings / system shows the following additional updates now available:

UDX available update from 4.0.4 to 4.2.0

PG3X available update from 3.3.23 to 3.4.6

eisy-ui available update from 0.7.2 to 0.8.5

There is no release announcement for IOX 6.0.3 . Will there no longer be release announcements?, or was the one for 6.0.3 an accidental "miss"?

UDI hasn't said anything about what's new in 6.0.3, but here are the change descriptions in the sysconfig.txt file:

My understanding from a while ago (maybe 6 months or more) is that UD did not (at least at that time) have anything that would auto update and did not plan to have anything “auto update”. If your system is updating then you need to open a support ticket to see what is happening for your system.

UD Has not posted updates for minor releases. When so many things are getting little updates at random times it is not as easy for them to post updates. Sadly, many don’t know there is an update until they randomly run the update packages process then look at the sysconfig file to see what changed. I, as well as many, would like to see release noted BEFORE I update, but know that’s challenging when there are so many moving pieces. It would be best served to contact UD through their site to see what is updated.

There are no cases where updates would be done automatically.

Whay may have happened is an upgrade packages being done, either using the Admin Console, UD Mobile or eisy-ui, with no reboot. In that case, only at the next reboot would version updates. That may look as an auto-update.

@Geddy, The solution to your struggles is eisy-ui.

1. If an update is available, you get a notification at the top right that tells you an update is available.

2. You can look at the releases notes BEFORE upgrading within eisy-ui, on the upgrade packages page.

3. The upgrade itself is more convenient as it clearly tells you what's happening during the upgrade.

Hmmm, this happened on two different boxes, an eisy, and a polisy. In both cases, prior to the reboot, they were running IoX 6.0.0_4 . I could see that maybe I accidentally clicked on update on one of the boxes without realizing it, but seems less likely that it happened on two different boxes. The only package that actually "automagically" updated was IoX, so if your theory is correct, I would have had to accidentally done the update on both boxes before about 12/1, otherwise other packages would have updated too....Anyway, thanks for the pointer, good to know.

I happened to reboot yesterday after deleting and installing a few insteon devices. I did not hit update iox. When eIsy came back up and I opened the A.C. I was notified that I was running a version of launcher that was out of date. After doing the java thing and downloading launcher is when I discovered I was in 6.0.3

It seems likely that the update to 6.0.3 is happening "automagically" on reboot without the update button having been pressed. If anyone else has experienced this, please post and let me know, so I can be absolutely certain before I open a ticket.

My 6.0.3 happened when I did a reboot, I didn't use upgrade packages.

I have opened a ticket. Will post back with update once it is resolved.

Explanation from Michel in response to the ticket I opened as to why 6.0.3 installs automatically upon reboot (without update button having been pressed):

"...the reason is that 6.0.0 had an issue with libxml-2 library. So, once the packages were upgraded, it would no longer start and thus would not even give you the ability to login to the Admin Console to do the upgrade. Since we removed the capability for upgrade using the front power button (it had its own issues), our only choice was to reinstall it upon reboot. "

@bmercier, since your statement above that "There are no cases where updates would be done automatically" is not correct (per Michel's response above), if possible, please remove the Solution tag from your post further above.

Thanks. I upgraded on a reboot too. Good to know what happened.
