Finally installing EISY.

For communication with other house management computers, I use REST to receive inward commands to ISY (now IXY) and network resources to send information out. Haven't tested the outgoing network resources yet. I provided a static IP address (same as old ISY) and verified that this was in use by the eisy machine and the ixy. But state variables are not changing based on rest commands. Any ideas on whether there is some setting in EISY to enable REST?

FYI it took over 24 hours for a PLM switch -- I think it would only have taken 8 hours except I had some disused links for nodes served by an old eisy08 PLM (whatever that device was called). Deleting the notes allowed the process to complete.

Sorry I meant IoX not IXY. EISY is fully up to date -- IoX 6.22 etc.

There are some odd things -- like can't change the network settings in admin console. Also can't uncheck DST box. Custom location is in use and the time displayed is Standard Time, not DST.

Well you can't uncheck the DHCP setting. You need to have it use DHCP.

I see that I have the username and password for the old ISY in my REST strings (though no port that I can see). do I need to change the username and password to the portal info? Or can I enter an alternate user/password somewhere in IoX?

@Guy Lavoie Odd to have a setting you can't change.

Doesn't allow setting a User password to "admin" -- says userid length not valid.

I have REST with local username and password using port 8080 on eISY

No, you should be able to use the old isy username and password, as long as they're replicated in the new eisy. If you log into admin console using that name and password, does it work? This has to be the url in ISY Finder with port 8443 in it. It prompts you for the eisy password:

No, connecting to port 8443 does not give any sort of connection. The eisy doesn't allow "admin" as a userid -- too short. I tried putting in adminadmin as User1 via the file menu in the admin console, trying to put in the URL in the finder (ip adress/desc:8443) as you suggested inists that the userid be an email address.

Using the adminadmin as userid in REST did not work

The format is: http://<ipaddress>:8443/desc

I am concerned that an email address won't work given that the formal for providing username and password in REST has an ampersand before the host.

http://<ipaddress>:8443/desc gives no response

https: gives an XML list but no opportunity to log on

Have you just done a version upgrade by any chance? It might need a reboot, with a good 30 seconds with the power removed.

I did reboot from the menu (several times). Behavior hasn't changed. The physical unit is in the basement near PLM but I can power it off if you think that could change its behavior (seems unlikely)

Basic local is http://<ipadress>:8080/rest/nodes
or with creds:
http://admin:admin@<ipadress>:8080/rest/nodes

Thanks! I've run out of time to try today and am reverting to ISY994i. I'll try next week. I still don't understand how to get a username as short as "admin" into the list on IoX on EISY since it told me userid was too short. It seemed to accept adminadmin but I could find no evidence that it stuck. I did not have a port in my old spec so maybe 8080 will do the trick. I'll try without authentication.
