Release 3.3.1 (Beta) Is Now Available!

[Michel Kohanim]

Hello all,

 

I am happy to announce the availability of our 3.3.1 (Beta) release! For a list of changes, please take a look at this post. This is a major release with many changes to the underlying INSTEON engine as well as HTTPS (for 994) and, as such, please do be kind enough to report any anomalies.

 

Know Issues

- REGRESSION: Cannot add multiple buttons from the same KPL in the same scene

 

Things to test:

- IOLinc options

- FanLinc options

- TempLinc/Thermostats

- I2CS MorningLinc

- ELK at startup

- HTML emails

994

- SSL/HTTPS

 

 

Important Information

1. Important Brultech module is no longer supported on ISY99 Series. Please contact sales@universal-devices.com for options

2. Important If you have a 994, you will need to re-install a certificate. Please review ISY994 Series Advanced Network Security Configuration for more information.

3. Important We have removed SSLv2 support (very insecure) from ISY994. Unfortunately, the only protocol supported by MAC with Java 1.6 is SSLv2. As such, you MUST upgrade your MAC to Java 1.7 (Software Update)

 

4. Please note that Safari does not support SSL session reuse and thus might take an exorbitant amount of time to communicate with ISY. As such, when using 2048 bit SSL, it's best not to use Safari.

 

5. If you are using the Irrigation Module and are upgrading from releases prior to 3.1.5, you must edit the programs using Irrigation variables and save the programs again. Irrigation module is no longer on promotion

 

6. Upgrading from 3.1.3 and below: If you are using WeatherBug Module's Rain Today in your programs, please note that the precision has changed from 1/10 to 1/100 and thus your programs might not run properly

 

7. For a discussion of variables, please look at our Program Variables forum.

 

 

Instructions:

1. Please backup your ISY (File | Backup ISY). If you are backing up a 3.1.6 system, please note that the backups are corrupted. If you have a backup from prior releases, you should be OK

 

2. Please download the firmware for your platform - please do not unzip

ISY 99i Series

ISY 994i Series

 

3. Login to the Admin Console and choose Help | Manually Upgrade [the name of your system]

 

4. Choose the file saved in step 2

 

5. After the upgrade, ISY reboots. Please do ensure to clear your Java Cache

 

6. IMPORTANT Once upgrade is completed and ISY reboots, use any of the following methods to access your ISY's Admin Console:

a. http://your.isy.ip.address/admin - applet --- Security Warning: Due to recent Java security problems, it's best to always use method #d

b. http://your.isy.ip.address/admin.jnlp - Java application

c. http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/3.3.1 - applet --- Security Warning: Due to recent Java security problems, it's best to always use method #d

d. http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/3.3.1/admin.jnlp - Java application Best method to access Admin Console

 

Dashboard - not fully supported

- http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/3. ... board.jnlp

 

8. Please backup your system again

 

Thanks and with kind regards,

Michel

Perhaps it is just me but the download link for the firmware is just forwarding me to the sales page.

[elvisimprsntr]

Just curious why the brultech support had to be removed.

[Brian H]

The ISY99i download link does go to the sales page.

The ISY994i link does get you a download file.

[Nuttycomputer]

The ISY99i download link does go to the sales page.

The ISY994i link does get you a download file.

 

Interesting - they are both going to the sales page for me

[Brian H]

Maybe fifteen minutes ago. I got the ISY994i file.

Just now the link for the ISY994i also goes to the sales pages.

Now both are broken.

Perhaps it is intermittent I was just able to get the 994i file

[Nuttycomputer]

Downloaded and upgraded. No problems yet. I am curious regarding the FanLinc options and if anyone has a guide on what does what. This is what I show listed:

 

Program Lock

RF Enabled

Resume Dim

LED on TX

LED Backlight

Key Beep

 

All show unchecked by default it appears. Remoted into system at the moment so don't have ability to test on site yet.

[Tunaman]

Downloaded and installed on isy99i.

 

Can report that I can now have KPL and remotelinc 2 both in same scene, and that KPL LEDs do respond to remotelinc 2 keypresses.

 

Also, fanlinc backlight option now turns off the red LED which was always on before. Not sure what the other fanlinc options are for, that will have to wait for another day.

 

However, not sure is this is a feature or a bug, but I can no longer have multiple KPL buttons in the same scene. I have a KPL that i'm using as a timer of sorts, and before (on 3.2.6) I was able to have all buttons in scenes, but now I get an error message if I try to add multiple KPL buttons to the same scene.

 

KPL is a 2487S Dual Band KeypadLinc Relay v.40

[LeeG]

Is the KeypadLinc button a Controller in another Scene?

 

If so Insteon allows a button as Controller in only one Scene. Can be a Responder in multiple Scenes.

 

EDIT: I see what you mean. I have Scenes with multiple KPL Relay DB buttons. The KPL Relay DB drives my FanLinc Motor through the 3 speeds and Off. Was working at 3.2.6.

Downloaded and installed. I can no longer access via HTTPS tho HTTP is just fine. Any attempt to access remotely via HTTPS results in:

 

XML Parse error: https://my-url.org:443/desc

 

Followed by:

 

Socket Open Failed Java.lang.NullPointerException

 

I have cleared all the browser and Java caches, deleted all of the old certificates and accepted/trusted all new certificates.

[Tunaman]

Each scene had only one button ad a controller, and all other buttons in that scene were responders.

 

Now I can't have even one button from KPL as controller and a second button from same KPL as a reponder.

I confirm the change. No idea why the restriction as it worked okay at 3.2.6 for my FanLinc Motor control.

I have duplicated these results on 3 machines now. I can still connect with Mobilinc remotly via https so I'm puzzled as to why I can't get the admin console (or the Dashboard) working.

What's the Templinc mentioned in the "Things to test"? Is that the Insteon thermostat?

Hi Xathros,

 

Have you configured HTTPS with other protocols such as TLS? If so, you MUST make sure that:

a. You have Java 7

b. You have the latest UI (Help | About)

 

TLS protocol is only supported fully in Java 1.7 (unfortunately).

 

Just to test, please use Chrome and go to https://your.isy.ip.address, click on proceed, and then click on the lock icon next to the URL. Please send the screenshot to support@universal-devices.com.

 

Hi tunaman/LeeG, verified that this is indeed a bug.

 

Hi hbsh01, yes, TempLinc is a SmartHome labeled (not Venstar) thermostat.

 

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Screenshot sent. I'm using a MAC so am limited to the latest available JVM (1.6.0_33-bo3-424 both 32 and 64 bit. I am configured for SSL 3.0 both client and server.

 

Thanks.

I received a 1.7 update on my iMac. Check software updates. If not, go to java.com and click on the version check. It will recommend the 1.7 update. I'm running Mountain Lion.

Hi hbsh01, yes, TempLinc is a SmartHome labeled (not Venstar) thermostat.

Is that the Insteon Thermostat Part # 2441TH, or the Insteon "Wireless" Thermostat Part # 2441ZTH that had just been released?

 

Thanks.

[Michel Kohanim]

Yes.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

[ISYhbsh01]

Yes to which? 2441TH (Insteon Thermostat for $149) or 2441ZTH (Insteon Wireless Thermostat for $79)?

 

Thanks

[Michel Kohanim]

Both.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

[ISYhbsh01]

Great! Thanks.

[Candide]

Updated from 3.2.6 - so far so good, no issues.

[jmed999]

The last few posts in this thread are funny. I just cracked up!

 

Thanks for the update Michel!!!
