Went smoothly. No issues so far.

[Mark Sanctuary]

Successful upgrade here. Running as expected.

[lawr1000]

I had a little trouble with my upgrade but I didn't follow step 7 closely.

Clearing the cache and launching the console again the right way and it works nicely.

 

The In-LineLinc Dimmer can now be checked for On percentage in a program (if you let it autodetect when adding the device).

 

I do have a question about the Dual Band 240 Load Controller (2477SA2) support. When I add the device I still only see the Control Part. As I understand the 2477SA2 also has load sense capability with links for both On and Off. I have added with auto-detect and manual selection. Am I missing something?

[garybixler]

All went will. No problems.

 

I tried to relink the EZIO4O v.ff but the i2 did not work.

 

Was hoping to get to the internal timers.

 

v.ff doesn't seam right but there were no version labels

on the unit.

 

Thanks

Gary

Whether I2 works depends on how new the device is. Many of the internal PLMs indicate an I2 engine but do not support the ALDB command.

 

How did you add the EZIO4O, Auto Discovery or explicit Device Type.

 

If you are on a PC and have a PLM connected to the PC you can use the SHN Utility to configure all the EZIOxx options.

Hello Mike,

 

You are correct!

 

Updated UI is at

http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.8.1 (applet)

http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/2.8.1/admin.jnlp (application)

 

Already fixed for the next release (UI only issue).

 

With kind regards,

Michel

[garybixler]

Lee hi

 

I did an Auto Discovery.

 

Maybe will consider an additional PLM for the PC

but it's not that pressing at the moment for timer access.

 

Thanks

My 2.8.1 Beta installed with out a hitch.

[k7zpj]

Installation completed with no issues.

Everything seems to be running fine.

[jkraus]

Notes say that there is now support for ezxx devices. The only one I have is ezx10rf. Any changes or new features for that product?

[lawr1000]

You mention support for the 2486SWH8. I have one of these devices and had been using it under 2.7.15 and it appeared to work correctly. Can you tell use what has changed? Should I remove it and add it again under 2.8.2?

[Michel Kohanim]

Hello all,

 

If your EZX10RF works, then there's nothing new.

 

Support for 2486SWH8: did the Admin Console provide you with the correct model number for this devices or did it say Unsupported Device. Furthermore, did you add this device using brute force (in Admin Console the firmware version is v00) or did you use Auto Discovery or Linking?

 

With kind regards,

Michel

[danswatman]

Upgrade went fine for me. Is there upcoming ELK support in this series of updates?

 

Thanks,

Dan[/b]

[Brian H]

I found the error log is now a separate item.

That could be a help in troubleshooting things.

[Michel Kohanim]

Hello Dan,

 

We are still working on the ELK solution. I really cannot give you an ETA but it's actively being developed.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

The admin console reports the correct model number. I added the device using auto discovery. BTW this device was a 2486SWH6 that I converted to an 8-button. In both configurations it was automatically detected correctly with Auto Discovery.

Went very smoothly.

One thing I noticed is that on the Electricity Tab I see a what appears to be an Optionbox on the lower right portion of the screen with a label of "S" (see image below:

 

 

Here is a screen shot of my About screen:

 

 

I also had this same issue with the previous firmware v2.7.15

[guy]

when I click on Trend (chart) it gives this error and gets stuck with system busy and a busy mouse icon:

I was using local jnlp file

 

Just tried it with http://isy/admin and http://isy/admin.jnlp and see no errors but graph is always blank

 

And now even local file doesn't produce any errors (nor graphs), the only change was the changed submenu, so maybe the resaving jnlp helped somehow. I works but it still warns

Could not launch from cache. Will try online mode. [Given JNLP is newer than cached copy!

 

Thanks[/code]
