GE/Enbrighten In-Wall Smart Motion Switch has Motion interference issues.
brians replied to brians's topic in IoX Support
Update... I replaced the Zen71 with a Zen51 and a modified decora dumb switch so it is momentary. It has same interference issue... was thinking of putting a tin foil shield in between out of desperation of other things to try LOL. First time wiring up a Zen51 like this and works great, but considering the price difference it makes sense to just purchase something like Zen71 instead which is easier to install. Only use I can think is if want to control/add ceiling lights with no existing switch, or if your switch box has no neutral. Maybe I should throw an Insteon switchlinc in there instead It is a very common configuration to have a light and fan switch in same gang box in bathrooms. -
Sensor, Switch, and PLM Suggestions

I replaced it today with a Zen51 and a decora switch converted to momentary... still same issue as last two switches (Zen71 and a GE ZWave switch can't remember exact model). Ill update my thread with details but have a feeling I am talking to myself sometimes LOL. -
EDIT... been a long time since I used Alexa routines but others have posted it is easy to do using portal. I personally like doing local control and not rely on cloud to for things like this. Those things look neat and I notice they support homekit so maybe they will support matter in future and could then work with zmatter board when it’ is upgraded.. Are you thinking of buying these or already have ? Curious how they work in reality. What insteon devices are you currently using ?

Here is PDF I had that lists all the parameters. Still had to experiment with it a bit to understand the meaning behind some of them and how it actually works in reality. Also a doc fix which may be simpler to follow. Jasco In-Wall Motion.pdf GE Jasco 26931 ZW4006 In-Wall Smart Motion Switch.docx -

I have two of these and have same issue with the motion sensors triggering when adjacent switch is turned on/off, and same thing in two different locations. I personally don't like them and will eventually change them out if something new ever comes out. I have mitigated the issue somewhat with programs, disabling the motions sensor while turning fan on/off etc. but now and then I still see light turn on in bathroom randomly so something is still messed up in my programming. See this thread. I also list some parameters in programs may be interested in eg. parameter 13 set to 1 is motion sensitivity high. -
Maybe there is a correlation between some ZSE29 working and some not based on firmware version.
-
I looked on zooz site and there are several hardware versions of zse29. Maybe some work while others do not? Unfortunately no firmware updates are available. What is your hardware version?
-
Add them and uncheck all the security no s2 etc.. See if works.

You can have one custom notification containing ${sys.program.#.name} which the calling program will be displayed. Not exactly what you are asking, but this way can minimize the amount notifications, however the notifications would be more generic but if just using for simple notification of heartbeats then probably fine. For example, if program is named "Laundry Room Leak Sensor", you then have this customization.. It has been over 26 hours since ${sys.program.#.name} detected a heartbeat. Then have a bunch of programs named matching the sensor name and each call this program if heartbeat missed. Can you show your HA program so can see how HA does it. I sorta wish IoX had more general scripting option. I think if IoX programs not really as full programs, but little subroutines and store them in a folder which I think of more as the full program. But to do basic things it is awkward sometimes because of the event driven and non-reentrant nature of how programs execute.

My Yale assure lock is now working correctly in 5.5.7.
-
Resolved IoX restart issue for me Will test my Yale Assure lock when home and follow-up.
-
I would wait for official announcement, don't want to give any instructions that will break it, but it is same as before basically with maybe a reboot
-
Michel told me was gonna be release today, got tired of waiting for offical announcement (cuz I'm impatient) so though I just did an update and got 5.5.7 which seems to fix this now... tested rebooting buncha things and AC stays up
-
Yes this was an issue that @macjeffreported and I realized I was having same issue. He worked lots with support to get resolved past few days and I believe is now resolved. 5.5.7 fixes (not announced yet). FYI, the reason for reboot is if any subscribed/connected app quits not gracefully it will restart AC. Programs like UD Mobile force quit, AC force quit, HomeBridge restart etc. all caused.

I managed to find a CT-101 for only $50 CAD, which I received and setup last night. It works fine except I do also notice that issue where it does not update the state instantly from idle... I am using on my gas fireplace so all I use is the W and RH. I didn't want to run it for long time last night to determine if it ever updates. However, it is going down to -20C tonight so will test and see if updates after a few min This CT-101 I bought is capable of running on battery without C wire, which works perfect for me because the thermostat I replaced was only 2 wires... surprisingly it updates and responds fairly instant off battery (except for the state issue). As long as it updates eventually I can probably live with that. I just wanted the ability to control/turn off fireplace remotely if accidentally left on, maybe make alexa routine, more complicated for wife LOL.
-
Regarding compatibility mode, how do we see the current state of a device if it is in compatibility mode or not?
-
@Chris Jahn Just noticed since 5.5.6 my Yale Assure Z-Wave lock no longer automatically updates status when manually locked either turning lock or by keypad....worked fine before. Updates status only when unlocked manually, unlocked by keypad, but not locked by keypad, or when turning the lock manually. A manual query gets correct status after lock. Edit: opened a ticket.
-
Just add the IP in manually into the IoX Finder... I find it unreliable at times.

Zooz ZEN32 & eisy 5.5.5 = Missing Double Press Option
brians replied to TRI0N's topic in Z-Wave - Series 700
My programs I linked to a few posts up solve the toggle problem for non-zwave lights... go check them out. I use to control/toggle a zwave light and insteon light from same button and Zen32 LED stays in sync no matter how the lights were turned on/off. For philips hue, I am thinking of getting a starter kit. Are you using the node server or network resources? Seems simple but could be a big time waster -

Since you named it with "Basic Control" this hints at me that you are using the basic association nodes in your programs. Can you show the actual node address of that? My programs instead use the central scene button 1 ZYxxx_201N001 and you may be using ZYxxx_252N004 for basic association (eg. if button 1). which could explain this... for example both these nodes will respond to button 1 press. From my understanding how Zen32 buttons work, and if this is the way you are doing then you should not have to press it twice, unless it got out of sync by the light being turned on/off elsewhere. -
@macjeffdiscovered that IoX restarts/reboots if force close java app and many mobile apps. I am still experiencing it in 5.5.6 and just discovered this bug myself last night. I though I would mention this here since this is latest support thread and people may overlook in the older one. Since most do not use Macs they may not have noticed but it is reproduceable in Windows and mobile apps if force quit app. He is mentions that he is going to work with Michel today but just wondering if this affects more people than us two?
-
Add to this: UD mobile also crashes IoX if force quit app in iOS - ie swipe up. I actually had it crash in me last night on my iPad and noticed this and wondering what was going on. I just did now in iPhone and iox rebooted. I am on Polisy running v5.5.6 so not fixed in that version.
-
Ok, this explains why I was going crazy last night working on my Mac and making changes in Homebridge. I was also experimenting again with Homebridge isy Maker in hopes of making Zen32 relay show up in Homekit via that and a variable (binary switches don't seem to show up - do you by any chance have a solution?). I noticed the IoX kept restarting and I think had something to do with the isy maker plugin how it hooks in live to homebridge, so I disabled and no restarts over the night.

Zooz ZEN32 & eisy 5.5.5 = Missing Double Press Option
brians replied to TRI0N's topic in Z-Wave - Series 700
Copy program to clipboard and paste instead of the screenshot. Double tap should be is Fast On. It is also possible that during migration to EISY, your programs are missing things to display correct even though they are actually working. Make an entire new program with Fast On and temporarily disable this one and see if that works if you are scared of breaking things. Also usually clicking on something and hit save, or maybe making a comment and save may fix/rewrite the program properly in the system. -

I go over this here the two methods for using Zen32 buttons... zwave basic association and programming. Although basic assoc works for on/off to control another zwave device, the button state will get out of sync if you turn on/off the actual zwave device manually and will have to press Zen32 button twice. I believe that programs are the best option if want to keep LEDs in sync, and also that way supports other devices to control like Insteon. @TRI0N it supports 2x press, select Fast On in the pulldown It is a carry-over nomenclature from Insteon, where a double-tap on an Insteon switch is called fast on or fast off.
