Is there a port forward I can set up so that I can access eisy.local from a remote location? I've tried forwarding to my eISY ip on both 8080 and 8443 but neither one brings up the eisy UI from remote. I'd like to work on my tiles and pages while I'm away from home but can't seem to find it.

I've also tried using both the admin console URL from my portal and the ISY URL from my portal but again - no eISY.local UI

Thanks

Hello,

Unless I am misunderstanding something, I believe what you really want/need to do is set up remote access via the ISY portal at https://my.isy.io/index.htm

It does have a minimal annual fee and also facilitates the new eisy-ui as it matures to a real web interface.

I may not have explained myself well.

I have a portal account. Have had since the portal was created. I've been on ISY since inception.

From within my home I can browse to http://eisy.local and that brings up the eisy-UI dashboard from which I can add and edit tiles, pages and so forth. I can't seem to access that same dashboard from a computer outside of my local LAN. I assume there are one or more port forwards that I can set up on my router so that I can get to it but I can't seem to work it out.

ISY Web Access from the portal takes me to the older, blue ISY web access page.
URL to ISY under information takes me to a page that doesn't load
URL to Admin Console takes me to a page full of XML results

@MarkJames if you log into the UD Portal there is an option in the tools menu for "eisy-ui" that should open up the dashboard that you're looking for. No need to port forward or other really long address like with the admin console.

Mine doesn't look like that

Looks like your eisy is not current (shows 6.0.4). I'm on 6.0.5. It might have been a recent update to include that with the portal. Although, word of caution I believe there was some issue with an update and z-wave or zigbee so you might want to look around on the forums for people mentioning that if you use either. I'm not sure what the issue was and if it's been corrected. (Looks like it was z-wave related. Not sure if "resolved". If you use a lot of z-wave I might open a support ticket to see if it's "safe" to update or just get clarification about the prior issue mentioned in another thread (page 2).)

Ahh - thank you.

I have no z-wave so not an issue for me. I'm purely insteon. There was no z-wave when I started lol - just Insteon and X-10

Interesting

I have 2 eISY's on my network

Both are at 6.0.5

Both are accessible via ip address to eISY UI

Both of them shows the eISY UI tab in the portal

One works, the other reports file not found.

File not found: eisy-ui-1.0.8-4/index.html

Any ideas ?

After reading this thread I just thought I'd see how my own portal access would come up. Interestingly, my three Polisys do show the "eisy-ui" menu option, though none of them have portal subscriptions. My eisy, which does have portal access, doesn't show the eisy-ui option. eisy-ui does work fine locally though, and has portal access permission enabled. All my units are running 6.0.5.

As it turns out the eisy-ui interface isn't gonna work for my purposes anyways. I have a windows surface tablet I wanted to repurpose as a wall mounted controller but I don't see a way to run programs or change variables from this interface.

I guess I'll just pick up a used android tablet and use that instead.
