Every time I log in I am told there is an upgrade to install. However, it does not appear that this is the case.

Not sure what that is.

6.1.1-6.1.2

Just did an update packages from eisy ui. It seemed to go fine, didn't take terribly long. Though I needed to restart all my plugins after the update. Something I hadn't seen before is that opening the admin console told me that iox finder was on the new version and iox was still on the old (6.1.1/6.1.2) It asked if I wanted to update iox, I said yes. I was then able to immediately re-open the admin console, so I don't know what update happened, couldn't have ben much in that ime. I have seen the opposite of that message before where I had to clear out Java. I believe this is the first time I have updated from the eisy upgrade packages vs the admin console trigger, not sure what if anything that changes.

Power surges often take out the power supply or make them flaky. I would try that first. Next, try pinging the ip address of your ISY. See if is even booted up. Or just try to ssh into it. Depending on your model, check out the led lights on it. Wouldn't be surprised if you need to open a ticket. Though if it is not an eisy, they no longer support the older stuff.

I have what I believe to be a bug free update to the Pentair plugin in the beta store adding intellicenter support. I'll be moving out over to production here shortly. This single plugin supports two api's and will auto-detect yours. Both work through the same phone/web app, username/password. It is cloud based, there is no local connection option, if Pentair shuts down their server . . oh well. If you have an intelliflo3 and/or a color sync device directly connected to he internet, you are on one api. If you have an Intellicenter where all of your devices first connect to that and then to the internet, you are on a different api. The intellicenter api is tested to work with intelliflo pump, intellichlor, intellichem, color sync, and aux device connections. Pentair does have a few more "smart" devices that I have not had access to. The prowler, intellisync, intelliconnect, and ChemCheck I believe rounds out the list of stuff not in the plugin. Likely these things could be added. If you have any of these devices and are willing to share access with me, I likely can add them in.

Pentrair_beta is now posted to non-production store. Adds Intellicenter functionality. Pentair has two completely different api's that both reside on the same server/login structure, so regardless of whether you have intellicenter or just direct connect of pump/lights, this plugin, username/password setup works. The plugin self-discovers the correct api to use based on how your account in pentair was configured.

@macjeff The possibility is that you are using a different account than your stuff is registered to. Logging out of your account on your phone app and then logging back in manually entering the same username and password that you used in the plugin will test that. The second is maybe more likely and that is you are using a different system that runs everything behind intellicenter. I really don't know the details on how pentair has evolved their system. Currently, I believe they have gone to a system where the devices all connect directly to the cloud, but you may be on a system that everything connects through intellicenter. My pump and my colorsync both have their own wifi and both log directly into Pentair server. Pentair says an IntelliCenter account should now be accessible through the Pentair Pool/Home app after migration, using the IntelliCenter account credentials. Have you done a migration? This is how my app looks on my phone where it all connects directly to the pentair pool app. Are you using this same app or a different one? This plugin may just not work using that different system. When you login, 1) are you using this app, and 2) does it list all your items as primary items or does it list your intellicenter with other things under it?

Please use this thread to ask any questions or comment on my plugin. This is my first plugin, but I think I got it bug free. The Levolor plugin connects directly the Levolor InMotion Hub. You will need to install the InMotion app on your phone and set up your blinds using that if not already done. From the app, if you tap the "about" page 5 times it will report the api key for your hub. You will need this key, plus the IP address of the hub. You should set your router to reserve that IP so it is always the same. From there, install the plugin and set the two parameters (ip address and api key). The plugin should immediately connect to the hub and query it for any blinds you have setup in it. This should take just a few seconds. If you still don't see any number next to the "nodes" field on the plugin, refresh the web page. You will get x+1 nodes where x is the number of blinds you have. Restart your admin console. You should see a new node on your main tree called "Levolor Controller". Sub nodes will exist for each blind you have. Controls include to directly set it to a percent closed (0% is open, 100% is closed) or you can execute an open, close, or stop command. This is the same as the InMotion app. I only have Levolor blinds and only created the plugin for blinds. Basically, open, close, stop, and percent. Other features like tilt exist that I can't test. Perhaps if someone has those types of blinds and wants to work with me, I can update the plugin. The plugin is limited by the communication between the hub and the blinds themselves. In my experience, sometimes the hub isn't accurate. Both the InMotion app and ISY will give you information that is not correct at times. In addition, the app and plugin will both be a bit delayed according to polling between the hub and the blinds and between app/plugin polling of the hub. I have found that ISY and the app both update status nearly simultaneous, so mostly it is a blinds/hub delay. This is a property of the InMotion setup and nothing in the plugin can change that. Regardless of the plugin/app status reporting, executing commands has had 100% success in all my testing. I have the response time to be less than a second consistently.

You can only do this by deleting the old plugin first then the slot opens to re-install. I won't bet my life on this next statement, but, I am pretty sure that if you delete a plugin and then re-install the same plugin in the same slot, any programs that reference any of those nodes will re-populate. When you install the plugin back in, all of the nodes should get the exact same id's and all the programs should put them back in. What won't re-populate is any customization you did on the main page of the admin console. In other words, any folders you put stuff in or any re-naming you did. I would confirm with @Michel Kohanim on this. EDIT: You might also look at the new eisy-ui beta plugin section. It might make things a bit more stream lined for you.

I updated. The update proceeded without issue and didn't take too long, maybe 15 minutes. I got a message requesting a reboot and I went ahead and did that. The system booted up and I was able to access both eisy ui and the admin console. @Javi Bug? I tried to create a random test program in Eisy, but it failed. I selected an insteon on/off module status as the if and an insteon dimmer as the then clause. Eisy UI fails to create the if statement. I got the drop downs and set the parameters and it gives an invalid error after saving. It shows up in the admin console with a yellow icon. I then created the same if clause in the admin console, and it did work. This is my one and only attempt at creating a program in eisy ui. Here is a screenshot. The second line of the if clause is what I created in the admin console. The first was the same line created in eisy-ui which reverted to this error. Before I hit save. The line after the "and" is what I just created in eisy ui. Then after I hit save

So the backup is stored on your server? And this happens whether you log in or not?

The backup files are tiny. Mine are only a few hundred k and I have a pretty loaded up system. So the data transfer from ISY to your phone should take a split second and the space consumed negligible.

Yeah, a message when you open the admin console that tells you how long since the last backup and a link to "backup now" would be another way. Probably easier to implement than UD mobile since currently UD mobile has no backup isy function, just backup your ud mobile. But since some people may go a really long time without opening the admin console but may open UD mobile daily, more likely to get a backup to a storage location that you are sure to have handy. I end up accessing my admin console from a number of computers and have my backups all scattered about and then losing track of where the most recent one is when you need it might be an issue. But certainly better than having no backup or only ancient ones.

Backing up ISY is one of those things we all know we need to do but tend to neglect. It occurred to me that perhaps UD mobile could have a feature that backs up your ISY to your phone's storage. Perhaps each time you launch UD mobile, it looks for your latest backup and if it is older than some period of time (that you can set), then it runs a backup. Now you have an "offsite" backup of your ISY configuration immune to any hardware failure on the Eisy itself.
