Odd. I checked and the latest version is showing on GitHub. Seems like it wasn't updated. Did you update it from Polyglot in the "store" section?

Interesting.... gimme a minute...

Still looks like the Admin Console isn't displaying the Folders. I see the box is now created but there's no value. In the previous screenshot of the log I see the folders count which is good. However at the bottom I don't see an entry for updating GV7 which is the folders. Could be Admin Console or not... Restart the NodeServer and then restart the Admin Console and let me know if the Folders shows up with the correct number.

The "folders" count is missing in the screen. Hit the Update Profile button and then restart the admin console. It should show up. If not then you'll have to delete the NodeServer from Polyglot and add it again. Doing profile updates it painful.

Myself if I had normal/standard HVAC I'd opt for a Venstar Wifi thermostat. Unless you already have a good/solid Z-Wave mesh you will have problems with just a Z-Wave thermostat. The Venstar provides remote access/monitoring/control capabilities and the API is local for integration so you don't have any outside "cloud" dependencies if you choose to integrate it. Alas I don't have normal HVAC and I'm stuck with baseboard heating so I have limited options.

It seems I need to update the total count to include the scenes. It's actually odd that it's not in the total as the total is a count of all elements in the "/rest/nodes" return value. I'll look into that. I'll have to see about adding "folders" into the count as well. [Version Update]: Updated version of ISY-Inventory has been pushed. Includes Scenes and Folders to the total count. New Status element for folder count was added. Because of the profile change run the Update Profile from the nodeserver and restart the admin console.

There were talks/plans/ideas of a Zigbee module. I don't think it's available yet... but that's the idea. Having a z-wave or zigbee module and then having the external gateway to provide remote access and to interface with Alexa/Google voice assistants.

The Z-Wave is a module that fits inside the DB2 locks. The Wifi gateway is an external box that communicates to the locks via BlueTooth.

The Alfed lock when used with Z-Wave is local to the controller. When used only with the App it is cloud + Bluetooth for local control from your phone. When combined with the Wifi gateway you can use the mobile app remotely which is cloud based and the gateway connects local via Bluetooth to the lock.

Disclaimer: I do promote and discount the Alfred locks If going with a Z-Wave lock first you want to plan out and ensure you have enough powered devices for a strong mesh. Secondly I do like the Alfred locks and if you couple that with their Wifi bridge you get the best of access and control. The lock can integrate to the ISY via Z-Wave for all of the automation and control plus with the Wifi bridge you can use the mobile app for remote status/control and for configuring user codes.

Oh that's new to me. I'll have to give that a try!

To my knowledge only 1 ISY can be linked to Alexa/Google for voice control at a time from the same ISY Portal account.

Probably right. Time to install their own router + firewall for their own LAN to have control of stuff inside their condo and secure their network traffic then.

Why not add a DHCP reservation so the IP never changes? No guess work then.

that would be great.... if I had an Android device this would run on.

oh ok. If you have it set to 5,000 that should be high enough that it's not timing out the connection. But I don't know what the back end is doing. If it's intermittent in responses it might be a time out issue. I don't know if L3 in the event viewer shows network resource information??? Maybe?

I thought i saw the screenshot in your other post? It was 500ms

Play with the timeout settings in the Network Resources. Often it's that simple. Posting the MAC address is pretty harmless especially since I highly doubt your blinds have a direct internet connection

Z-Wave scene functionality with the ISY is handled via programs. I think I may have a Zen22 and maybe Zen21 around here in a box. If I get time I can validate the scene functions.

As already mentioned there's not fun/good way. You will have to exclude the Z-Wave devices from SmartThings before they can be added into any other controller. This is not specific to the ISY. @lilyoyo1provided the nuclear option of resetting the devices You can also exclude them one at a time in SmartThings and then Include them into the ISY. Either way there's no quick or fun way to migrate your controller.

Disclaimer. Port forwarding is BAD!!!!!! Did you reconfigure SSH to use a port other than 22? If not then it's still the default port of 22 for SSH.

If you're remote then you won't be able to SSH to the box unless you are port forwarding port 22 to the public internet or you have a VPN connection.

They can work locally in the same manner as the older units. I just installed 2 x new Chamberlain systems and I used an additional control unit for each that I mounted in the attic above them. This is just a normal button controller to open/close the doors but it has additional wires added for pulse input. I can control the doors through my Lutron VCRX just like any standard "dumb" door. The same could be done with IO Lincs or Z-Wave controllers or whatever you choose.

That's odd for them to fail at the same time. I've had them fail from time to time and like you I replaced them.

I did read through your saga. I don't use the MyQ mobile app "rules" so I don't know if this is a problem or not. I don't use the MyQ app for much of anything actually. Depending on what it is that you don't like about the I/O Linc you have option of using a Z-Wave relay controller as an alternative to the I/O Linc.....
