Proprietary? Z-Wave.Me Z-Wave and Zigbee mPCIe adapter If they woulda used a USB only design would have been way cheaper... strange because EISY only supports USB which adds this additional unneeded cost. Anyways, doesn't matter much about the price as long as it works... but currently only is doing Z-Wave, not Zigbee (which is off-topic here - not to mention Thread... )

800 series is not that big of a deal if you already have 700 series from what I have read. In fact, I made the decision to stick with 700 in my Home Assistant instead of going to 800 dongle, but I have option to upgrade at least. Makes me wonder now why the zmatter is so expensive?!?

Nice that all those restart options etc. are removed. I just notice that I cannot access the original PG2 website anymore, not sure when this was removed. Not that it is of any use anymore, just curious... can you confirm?

You need a variable (not state) to keep track of the status of the light - update your existing program to set that variable. eg. kps8stat=1 or kps8stat=0. Then make a new toggle program like Javi linked to and run-if this new program, when press the button in UD Mobile... the if will test the variable status eg. kps8stat to run either if/then of your actual program that turns lights on/off and that program will also update this variable status. The variable status will update if toggled manually. You many have to make another scene to set the KPL LED status if toggled from UD Mobile. You can also use that variable to set the button status in UD Mobile - eg. change color etc.

Ya I am not sure why have to put delays in with IoX. It seems it is not able to queue commands internally. They should fix this - no reason to need delays. I had this issue with many different things and caused unreliability in programs. Also would be great if they had option for programs to complete without being rerun again by an action.

Those with issue, have you tried from a different computer? I have no issues from two different computers, but maybe is some cached info incorrect on the PC itself. Can someone explain why would want to use cloud vs LAN anyways?

Those buttons are designed like that, they are to turn scenes on. There is no off. They are meant to just do something when pressed, or multiple times etc. Zen32 is sorta crippled and above link I got working ok in ISY with LED sync. I recommend using programs and stay away from scenes. Z-Wave Basic Association is not recommended (even by Zooz). I have since switched over my Z-Wave to Home Assistant, which my automation is similar idea to the IoX programs. Your Hubitat probably had a plugin or something that made it easy to setup, just like Home Assistant has blueprints which others made that can do the same.. but nothing like that for IoX... programs haven't evolved much at all in the 15 years I have been using.

I just tried and both cloud and lan work for me on Polisy.

There are 245 other values to try I found LED backlights very inconsistent with Insteon and different revisions operate differently. Early revisions did not even have backlight adjustment ... I have a few of these still. I remember issues trying to match the brightness of different revisions in a 2 or 3 gang. In bedroom I have 2477D SwitchLinc Dimmer v.41 and setting at 0% I think it stays very dim, but I have frosted LED pipes in there so wasn't that big of issue.

What is a jail?

Reasons I had to exclude/include with IoX. - their zwave implementation is currently beta and often may have issues but I believe is better now. - no OTA - must exclude and do firmware upgrade elsewhere then include - in case or Zen17 you must exclude and include after setting certain parameters to enable feature - reinterview did not work. Since the the name in IoX based on the ZWave node ID, unfortunately have to edit programs and scenes whenever exclude include.

I can't remember how DSC worked in IoX but I did have all the zones able to by bypassed using toggle in UD Mobile so I am sure this is possible somehow. Do you have to use scene to send a bypass command? If you say you cannot delay in a scene, then just use three scenes with only one zone in each, with a delay in between running each one! I think the bypass on DSC is a toggle, not a discrete on/off. In Alexa I think you can set it to turn on a variable which triggers a program using a custom phrase... I did this years ago so cannot remember exactly but it wasn't that difficult.

Note that the enable web page doesn't provide any visual feedback. After that you just let it sit and hope it completes the upgrade. I did this a week or so ago, I just updated from 3.1.27 to 3.1.29 with no issues.

Home Assistant doesn’t have the issue.

I agree, it not good to have ZWave devices mess up programs each time you exclude/re-include. But I guess at the time Z-Wave was added years ago, it was only way due to limitations of ISY and nodes for everything, probably lack of resources so they just used the ZWave node ID to keep track for programs and scenes. If they did it now, I bet they would make it a nodeserver, where you add the devices there and map them to a node/name yourself which gets sent to IoX. If you exclude/include you just make sure it is using the same node slot name. That is a lot of programs!

I successfully got it talking to MQTT server on my Home Assistant. However, not sure how to get it to control Zigbee devices over zigbee2mqtt I added a switch node based on example and I see it added the cmnd topic in there and, added a device/node in IoX. I could see it turning on/off using MQTT Explorer when I pressed the buttons in IoX. However, this seems to be instructions for tasmota devices which use cmnd topic. I wonder if it can control zigbee2mqtt? I messed around a bit and no luck. Wondering if anyone has tried this, or is it even possible? This would be a way to get Zigbee devices into IoX by setting up zigbee2mqtt and a USB coordinator on another server. I also noticed that when I deleted my test device in MQTT nodeserver, it did not delete it in IoX.

Both LAN and Cloud work for me.

Can't you just change the setting in /etc/rc.conf, resolv.conf ?

I just logged into mine and is fine... in fact seems a bit faster than previous version. I am also using a Polisy. Maybe it is doing a query and hung on something... try to disable query on restart and see if that resolves.

I updated mine, got no notification other than some xml parse error but could have been something else. I reconnected, after updating start.jnpl and clearing cache etc. because it was complaining I had an old version... Once I connected I got message that it was updated and requires reboot. Everything is fine now, no issues...

I don’t mention ISY, but rather EISY. The old plug-in which was referenced happens to have isy in name. Homebridge is backwards to how a nodeserver would operate. They could still add it in the same PG3x interface anyway for lack of somewhere else to place.

@SSS the HACS version of the ISY integration for Home Assistant supports node servers a lot better. Maybe setup a HA box, install that and give a try, and give feedback to the developer... go check it out by looking in the Home Assistant forum, I just seen this. Once in Home Assistant, you can use the built-in HomeKit Bridge to being the entities you want over into HomeKit and should work with RR

Michel said earlier in this thread (look up above) that they are investigating using Homebridge inside EISY so they must have some sort of plan/discussion about it if they actually go ahead with this. It would be nice if they would do some sort of support for the integration as well to make sure it works bit better, and stays working, otherwise what is the point of adding Homebridge to EISY then?

The current HomeBridge plugin which seems to be the best is still called Homebridge Isy Js. I am sure it could be renamed with something IoX in it for clarification. This is nothing to do with them updating the ISY994i. Michel said they are investigating using Homebridge inside EISY and did not mention a nodeserver.. not sure why they would take the time to do that when Homebridge already has a UI and they just need to fix up the Isy, (or "Iox") plugin.

What version of ISY integration do you use with Homebridge? The rodtoll one I was using for many years (not developed anymore, and the pradeep one broke pretty much everything on it for me, no longer developed also), until earlier this year, had issues with many zwave device (mentioned elsewhere here). If UD is going to make make Homebridge work on EISY, I wonder if they will be updating/supporting the Homebridge ISY plugin and bringing it up to date.
