nomo bo commented on the post, Goodbye, Iris! Part 2 8 years, 7 months ago

I am a reasonably satisfied 1st-Gen IRIS customer, and a subscriber to IRIS Premium Service.

I have just taken delivery of (but not yet installed) a 2nd Gen Hub.

The reason I have not installed the new […]
Chris Grossmeier commented on the post, Goodbye, Iris! Part 2 8 years, 7 months ago

I am happy to see I am not the only one making the change. Lowe’s Iris Gen 2 had so much potential. I migrated with a little more planning than you about two months ago. I felt let down by the Gen 2 platform […]
Anthony Raynor commented on the post, Goodbye, Iris! Part 2 8 years, 8 months ago

Pretty impressive to move that much equipment. I have around 55 devices and even for that SmartThings would be an expensive transition. I’m also frustrated about the closed system. For the moment if my V2 move […]

In the first part of this series we chronicled the instability, the frustration, and inability to achieve any sort of stability with the second generation of Lowe’s Iris. Problems seemed to be everywhere. So […]

I wasn’t aware there were options to use another system. What are a few of the options as far as other systems like iris?
Brett Hiltbrand commented on the post, Goodbye, Iris! Part 1 8 years, 8 months ago

So, I decided to log in to my hub tonight after reading this, only to find that my hub was offline and all my devices (with the exception of the smart buttons) have been removed. This is some of the most […]
Brett Hiltbrand commented on the post, Openness and the Real Iris API 8 years, 8 months ago

Has anyone looked into, or have any idea as to what it might take to develop a local server instance to control the v1 hubs. Now that they are being unceremoniously axed by Lowe’s, I wonder if we might be able to […]

After growing increasingly frustrated with the evolution of Iris V2, the IrisUsers family has decided to part ways with Lowe’s. Don’t get me wrong, I love Iris, and so does the family, or at least we used to. V1 […]
Steve White wrote a new post, That’s All Folks! Iris V1 Shutdown on June 30th. 8 years, 9 months ago

If you haven’t already heard the news, Lowe’s today sent an e-mail to all users with an active Iris V1 hub. The news wasn’t good. The Iris V1 shutdown is scheduled to take place on June 30th. Like the Revolv […]
Steve White wrote a new post, Cellular Service Discontinued by Lowes 8 years, 9 months ago

Cellular data service for Iris has been discontinued according to a recently e-mailed announcement from IrisByLowes. The notice warned that on June 30th all cellular backup service plans would be turned […]
James Howard posted an update 8 years, 9 months ago

“One valuable feature of Iris is that it has the option for a cellular data connection to act as… a primary connection in areas where always-on internet is not available.”

Well yes, but not anymore. A notification has been sent to cellular modem uses that Iris/Lowes is terminating cellular service June 30th (2016). Now, there is talk of a new…[Read more]
Steve White wrote a new post, Iris System Monitor Updated 8 years, 10 months ago

We have made the Iris System Monitor even better! The Iris Users Iris System Monitor (ISM) now checks for the latest platform versions and monitors even more Iris V2 services. Our Iris status tool is built up […]
Paul Cardelli started the topic Orbit Timer on 2.0 Hub in the forum All Things Iris 8 years, 10 months ago

So it looks like the new 2.0 hub does not have a built in timer for the irrigation system. I was told by support this was added a couple weeks ago. Doe anyone with the paid account have access to the new timer?

I’m thinking of switching back to the First Gen hub just for my timer, in time for watering season.
Paul Cardelli commented on the post, Outage is Over – What you need to know! 8 years, 10 months ago

So I had a couple of issues with this outage, I actually unpaired a number of devices and sold them to purchase some other newer devices. I no longer have the devices, but I can not remove them from my app.

While it’s nice (sic) to have accidentally run into the info on this outage by viewing this page, it seems that such an outage, with the resultant potentially serious issues in security it created, would warrant […]
Steve White commented on the post, Iris Outage – What you need to know! 8 years, 11 months ago

I would go and check your settings to make sure the phone number assigned to your account was not lost. Even if it is there, I would enter it again and save it. Give that a try and let me know how you make out!
Steve White wrote a new post, Outage is Over – What you need to know! 8 years, 11 months ago

For most, Tuesday’s Iris outage is over with some experiencing a few minor, lingering issues. IrisByLowes has released an impact statement with some very helpful troubleshooting information for anyone who is s […]
Shree Kumar commented on the post, Iris Outage – What you need to know! 8 years, 11 months ago

It also looks like, my configured phone is no longer ringing when I tested triggering the alarm by opening a window with a contact sensor! This is seriously bad as it compromises the whole security that IRIS was […]
Steve White wrote a new post, Iris Outage – What you need to know! 8 years, 11 months ago

If you are having a problem logging into your V2 Iris system you are not alone. We have been alerted by the Iris management team that there is in fact an outage that is currently affecting the system.
