Dumb question, but I remove my current Z-Wave dongle from Polisy (shut down Polisy first) and plug in my PC. Then I run the software and update, then put back in Polisy? WIll this affect any settings for ISY on Polisy after plugging back in eg. does it reset the Z-wave dongle, or does this even matter? BTW, after installing simplicity studio, you can isolate the Z-Wave controller portion here... even zip it up and transfer to a new PC. C:\SiliconLabs\SimplicityStudio\v5\developer\tools\zwave\pc_controller Current version I show is 5.52.301

@Michel KohanimOk Please provide instructions how to retrieve the log. Brian

ISY on Polisy restarts - seems to be when doing a manual query all and having console open, the entire Polisy itself does not. I have not seen ISY on Polisy restart since Jan 30th and the Query 3am has been running fine.

@Michel KohanimIt is a 1.5A power supply. Brian

PG2 on the Polisy. When I restart entire Polisy device, it requires me to enter the password for ISY in settings. If I restart ISY while Polisy is running, the nodeservers on ISY do not update... I have to go into PG2 and simply restart each one then connection/updates resume instantly.

@Michel Kohanim I will let you know the power supply later when home. I edit my post above indicating that the query all ran fine at 3am this morning without reboot. I am thinking that it reboots when I run manual query program manually, and possibly while I am logged in the administrative console and watching... which what I did also after it kept rebooting on startup before (which is why I disabled query on restart). BTW, is this just a cosmetic glitch in system status?

Since last week I find my Polisy reboots over and over on startup. I got around this by disabling query at restart, then a manual query seemed to work but now I am not sure... I do notice today that when I run query all program the ISY will restart. The reason I want to query all is that I cannot turn on/off lights via ISY etc. if it does not know the current state. Seems that it seems to be spending an unusual amount of time on my Zooz Zen25 double plug with the system busy dialog. I think I will try to remove the plug and see what happens. Also every time ISY restarts, loses communication with PG2 and I have to go into dashboard and restart each node server. If I reboot the entire Polisy then I have to go and enter password in PG2 - seems to forget it. I am contemplating reverting back to ISY994i for now since I don't have time for this right now.. maybe will open a ticket and next update could resolve some of my issues. Edit... I just ran query all and I got a message that ISY has restarted and had to login, and ISY is now restarted! Edit 2... noticed that the query all program ran at 3am without restarting... seems that when I am logged into ISY using the Java program while it is running the program I get the restarted message...

I just upgraded to ISY on Polisy and my ZL-PD-100 dimmers work perfect. I even have it on a scene to an insteon keypadlinc button and dim up / down in real time from the keypadlinc.

I have recently moved to ISY on Polisy. I have only two Node Servers installed... Envisalink DSC and Ecobee. I notice that the communication at ISY end seems to not update after a while. I have to go into PG2 and restart each nodeserver which resolves. If I restart the ISY it usually causes this issue and have to go in PG2 and restart the nodeservers. Also there is issue with PG2 having a red message that it auto discovered my ISY and needs the password for ISY... I go into settings and enter password which resolves. It does not seem to remember the password. This also occurs after restarting PG2.

Patience I guess... when I upgraded mine using same old PLM and a new Zooz, after loading the restore the ISY seemed to do the please wait window over and over and over... and over again not sure what it was doing/updating. I even restarted it all once (Maybe twice) and it just continues doing this. I just recommend to walk away at this point and go watch a move or something and not stare at it like I did - makes you go a bit crazy late at night.

I did the migration using my existing PLM and all seems to be working now. If you plug ZooZ Z-Wave dongle and the 2448A7 there is not enough clearance between the USB ports for them to fit nicely side by side so the USB port will sort of bend. I don't personally like this so I would suggest a USB extension cable for each device or at least the ZooZ. You can unplug the PLM from old ISY994i and when you reboot it you can still access to reference old things but it will be in safe mode. Restore PLM is all that is needed, no need to delete unless you decide to reset your ISY994i and want to remove all links from old PLM after migrating to Polisy.

I added my Yale into Polisy and I think I have the same issue. I was not sure what you were meaning at first but it seems like ISY adds more features and couple nodes than when I had originally added. I programs are working now for a particular user that unlocks, now that I redid using the new Access Control Alarm node. I am wondering if keypad lock means someone using a code to lock the door vs. placing hand over keypad - one touch locking.

@Michel Kohanim After doing export of my isy994i, and import to Polisy. I notice that I could not register the isy on Polisy in portal. There is no portal config options. I had connected Polisy to portal prior to import isy994i config. I deleted in porral and tried re-adding but ISY does not detect. I am thinking now maybe because I had setup before and the import did something to make it stop working based on something in ISY 994i import. EDIT... I opened a ticket..thanks Michel for resolving the issue. My Polisy is now converted... my takeaway from the experience is that if you don't have much z-wave it is a pretty straight forward upgrade, but prepare to do some manual planning and work if you have lots of z-wave. I only have about 15 devices and not too many programs so I spent an evening on it. My z-wave on Polisy was not as responsive at first but seems to be stabilizing a bit, I think because it self-heals/learns best routes as I add more devices. All of the scenes I had Insteon and Z-wave left a remnant old z-wave which could not remove until I added another device to scene which seemed to update it so I could remove. Programs that reference Z-Wave devices show out of memory error in status view after the import, so they are easy to spot and correct.. the comments actually provide the old node number so I recommend to use the topology as was suggested before and make a list. I made a spreadsheet with all my z-wave devices and nodes, printed it out and as I added them I made note of the new node number. Then was able to go through the programs and make manual changes where necessary.

OTA meaning OTA firmware upgrades?

I think the old PLM will still be responding to insteon commands if still connected so make sure it is unplugged like you said. Otherwise you are correct I think that you only have have to restore modem/plm. I have exact same Zooz z-wave dongle and Insteon USB wireless but I decided to use my existing serial dual band PLM with Polisy so I modified a cisco rollover cable (cut off rj45, rewired and crimped a new end on). I will keep the Insteon USB dongle as backup if (when) my PLM dies. I am doing this tonight/tomorrow. I also only have around 15 Z-wave devices so not too concerned about that.

Here is something else I noticed when migrating from my Raspberry PG2 to PG2 on Polisy. I did the export/import ok, then at one point it seemed I had two Polyglot 2 running so I stopped the nodeservers on the old PG2. I then deleted them later and it then removed off my ISY which was not my intent! But the new Polisy PG2 server said all still connected. I ended up having to uninstall and reinstall all manually to add back into ISY. Reason I did this way is I was running other things on Raspberry Pi and didn't want PG2 connected anymore but still wanted it operational.

I just got my Polisy and notice that it has two additional ethernet ports. Would connecting one of those to an untagged VLAN IOT port on your switch let the ISY communicate on your IoT network without any fancy routing or Avahi/mDNS?

That makes sense. I just went through all of my ISY and only have 15 Z-wave devices and my highest ZW043. I will see how it goes with the find/replace, and most likely will just not worry about filling in the gaps since my stuff is not overly complicated with too many programs. My critical program is the WaterCopZ which shuts off on z-wave leak sensor, water float switch etc...

@Michel Kohanim Ok I went to tools, generate topology. The devices in topology are in alphabetical order so I am not understanding the importance of adding them to the Polisy in that order. Here is a partial snip of my topology show two Z-Wave devices with a large gap in nodes number. I thought the programs reference the node number internally, not the name. Do you mean to go through the topology and sort the Z-wave nodes myself, start at lowest ZWxxx node in the topology and add them back in order of the node numbers and make sure they match in Polisy? eg. if there are gaps in my z-wave where I previously excluded/included a device, I would then do do multiple exclude/includes to increment the node numbers?

I am going to attempt moving to Polisy this weekend. I have about 20 z-wave devices. Couple questions: Should I remove each z-wave from current ISY994i first before adding to Polisy? Or should I just do remove on the Polisy and add? (I am thinking the latter makes more sense). When migrating over (eg. export from isy994i and import to polisy), do the programs that referenced z-wave devices show the old name of the z-wave device, or a device not found message. I am not sure I understand how the find and replace would have worked unless the original name was copied in during the import of backup.

I have successfully used z-wave devices as responders into existing Insteon scenes eg. a dimmer lamp controlled by an Insteon switchlinc, but never a 100% z-wave scene.

Just got my Polisy... setup the PG2, PG3 installed. I am able to connect via java to the admin console for ISY on Polisy. However, there is an issue with web interface to access My Lighting eg. my IP address is 192.168.10.106: https://192.168.10.106:8443 - does not work https://192.168.10.106:8443/WEB/udajax.htm - works. Seems that the default page is non existent.. .I found that working URL from looking at my existing ISY994i. Not a huge deal since I rarely use this web interface. This weekend I am going to move over to Polisy... Z-wave will take a bit because have to do manually... anyone have any suggestions?

@GeddySorry if it wasn't clear, the email part is working but the actual Z-Wave lock is not running the program anymore for a specific user unlocking the door, which it did before.

Actually I noticed that some of my old test programs no longer work. A couple years ago, I had programs that would disarm alarm if the correct user code was entered but I disabled because I didn't want to do this anymore. Now we have a code for person to enter and is supposed to email me, does not seem to work now. Unlock Home Care - [ID 000D][Parent 0075] If 'Front Door' User Number is 5 Then Send Notification to 'email' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I have a 236 and never keypad lock, didn't realize it was supposed to do that. I can test later. Brian
