Just an advisory about an annoying UI update experience:

After a reboot that upgraded IoX to 6.0.3_3, I noticed other packages that needed updating, including eisy-ui from 0.7.2 to 0.8.5. A couple observations:

1. The other updates finished quickly, eisy-ui update took much longer. Eventually the UI said it required a reboot, but the System menu item was unavailable (it said "API not available" when I tried to select it). I had to reboot eisy from the mobile app because the web browser wouldn't display the Reboot ISY button.

2. With the new version, when I first logged in on both Chrome and Firefox, the home screen was black--no menu items, just a black screen and my mouse pointer. It required a refresh to see the contents of the home screen. I thought it was a one-time issue, but it still happens when I haven't logged in to eisy for a few hours.

After the update packages did you clear your java cache and download the IoX Launcher

It would really help if UDI came up with a way of indicating the progress of an update. The uncertainty and varying update speed isn't very helpful at seeing if things are proceeding properly.

Unfortunately experiences like this have relegated my eisy to Insteon and occasional ZWave debugging duty. Everything else has moved to Home Assistant. With all due respect to the excellent support of UD and this forum, with UD there always seems to be something or some series of things I was supposed to do before or after an update besides just clicking Update, usually something I find out after it goes sideways. Although in this case I couldn't have avoided the API error, and error messages during updates are all too common.

UD support is aware of both of these issues. I reported them this morning and was told they are looking in to #1 and #2 is a known issue.
