Ahh thanks! Didn't know such a thing was an option. I just figured more non battery z wave devices = better reception and that's as much as you could do

OK thanks. I wasn't sure what was what given the housing has 2 coax looking connectors on it

One other quick question... I see there's a z wave board/enclosure and enclosure only. My isy has the wave built in so I assume there's not a board I can pull out of that and just put in a new enclosure or is it not worth the hassle?

Stellar, thanks for that info!

Hi all, currently running an isy and the license for remote access has run out. I don't feel like going to an eisy right now (Christmas lights on programs) but I do miss the remote control. If I renew the isy remote access License and switch to an eisy over the winter, will the license transfer or be prorated?

I switched it to DHCP on the console and reserved the IP on the router.... went back into the launcher after the ISY rebooted and back to not finding it. I had to put in its reserved IP address to get in and all is fine but i guess my setup is just finicky

Poked around more with this when I got home from work and while I have DHCP on the router (101 and higher for the 4th octet), I for whatever reason have a static IP set on the ISY (.5). I'm wondering if I did it so that I could find it from outside the LAN? It's been so long since I've had to change anything on the setup here, I'm not sure why I did it.... The theory is I shouldn't have to set a static IP to access from outside the LAN, right?

SUCCESS! The iox finder wouldn't find it, but i was able to get the IP Address after the router cleared all leases and then i could confirm IP vs MAC Address on the ISY and give that to the launcher. Thanks for going down the rabbit hole with me! Buys me some time before I decide what I'm going to do with the eISY

there definitely is something up, tho I don't know what or how. i just looked on my router (linksys) for all LAN connections and I don't see anything that looks like the ISY. it's on port 4 of the router, when I power cycle the ISY, the router light goes off and comes back on as expected. But..... Oddly I do see one of my cameras on the LAN connections even tho it's clearly wireless and says wireless. I'm going to try to release all DHCP leases and see what that does

Ah ok. I swear it was the same light blue as my other patch cables so... i'll take a look at the steps above in a bit, for now I'm letting it sit there and think about itself lol!

Also going back to something from earlier about the connection between the PLM in the wall outlet and my ISY, that is just a normal cat 5 cable. I just went and looked again. It's how it's always been. My mother, when she was still alive, had the same setup at her house. Just a normal blue patach cable

No firewall or anti virus. Confirmed VPN is off (and app closed)

HP laptop (the one I've always used) running Win 10 pro. And yep, I have the launcher on my desktop and that's what I'm clicking on. I swear I fight with this thing every Christmas season. lol!

I downloaded the latest Java version (version 8, update 431) but when I click on the link, it downloads the start file. I laungh that with JavaWS and it doesn't find my ISY

Thank you! That gives much clarity. I don't have to rush into anything then. The only issue I have is that when I bring up the IoX Launcher, it says not found and when I go to add based on the UUID at https://my.isy.io/index.htm it appears to only want a URL and says invalid URL when I put the UUID in. Not matter what I click on at my.isy.io, it says access license expired. It's definitely online and works because every nite my window candles come out at sunset and go off at 22:30
