Why do my programs stop after a day or so whenever I restart my IoX?
How do you create a custom log?

Two issues with ZEN17 sensors
I just tried the network resources on mine and works and it is the exact same as yours, but I use a Polisy so cannot confirm it works on ISY994i. However, I believe I have answered your original question that they do work on Polisy/EISY with ZMatter board, and support query. I also suspect that your reliability should be better, if not go away, because the ZMatter board has much better range than the 500 series board in ISY994i, which was not even as good as the Zooz USB dongle I used just previously.

Two issues with ZEN17 sensors
I have one set to 10 and just checked and can query the binary sensor and binary switch nodes in programs. Actually the only option for a binary sensor is query in a program. I think before with Polisy and Zooz dongle, and ISY994i, it didn't support query on some nodes but now seems it does with ZMatter. I am on Polisy 5.5.7 Here is mine, I am only using one node sensor and renamed it, but you can see them all... I also Set Parameter 10 to 0 Set Parameter 11 to 0 This isolates the relays being triggered from the inputs To do a query with network resource you do a http GET to your ISY /rest/query/ZW055_001_104

Two issues with ZEN17 sensors
What do you have settings for the relay parameters 2 and 3? I found that certain configurations (I think default) do not allow query in programs. I’ll check mine later and see if I can in its current configuration. However I worked around this before using network resources to query. My zen17 are reliable and update almost instantly.

PG3 Not Working On Mobile
Oh I don’t seem to have that on iOS. What is the purpose is that anyways to administer it without webpage ?

Not sure what you mean by add PG3 to mobile. Maybe post a screenshot with error.

Support thread: IoX 5.5.7 Release
@macjeffthinking about this, maybe your issue is that some repeaters you have may not support beaming which could cause delays in your locks. Do you have any dedicated zwave repeaters? If so remove/disable them and see if resolves. With zmatter board the range is so good that typically don’t need them in an average house. However since it seemed to work fine before with zooz this doesn’t make sense really but worth a try and there could be a device that is hanging it up.

New locks
I also like that ultraloq lock, but a few things put me off... seemed you needed the app and an account setup to include/exclude it into Z-Wave. And wasn't clear if you can actually add/remove users within ZWave. Also reporting the users in IoX is something I would need also, currently my Yale can do all this.

Support thread: IoX 5.5.7 Release
I never used this feature before and didn't realize it was there, but not I have a home care worker coming for mother in-law so would be nice to restrict that user to certain hours/days. How did the old way do this? I see a button set time, but it gives an error when I click.

Support thread: IoX 5.5.7 Release
I never had this issue but I don't use Alexa. However I did some testing using AC to lock/unlock mine and was pretty fast response, but after about half dozen repeats the lock started appearing sluggish and similar to how you described and took forever to update its status. Restarting IoX resolved the issue. Try restarting IoX and see if that temporarily fixes.

Z-wave Leviton dimmer and switches problem
I have mentioned this problem from beginning and is still not resolved. This is not really an issue with ISY, was rather an issue with Leviton not wanting to pay a patent royalty (which now is expired) to support instant status. Their workaround was to use Hail. Many other hubs do this behind the scenes for these switches. Therefore it is hidden to what is going on, which unfortunately gave a false impression that there is nothing really wrong with these switches. Moving to ISY it is easily discovered the trickery! I only have three of these Leviton switches - one is controlling an outdoor light which for some reason the builder placed switch in coat closet so it is just a responder style controlled by a keypad Linc, and never is turned on/off locally so I don't require instant status or hail. A 2nd is in closet in basement which I use a program that queries then once per minute which is better than nothing. The 3rd is sitting on my table last time I noticed. The other leviton devices like plug-in outlets never get turned on locally so instant status or hail is not needed. Hopefully UDI can fix hail, I was working with Chris on this while ago and sent info about the switch but I believe is low priority.

GE/Enbrighten In-Wall Smart Motion Switch has Motion interference issues.
I think I may have found a bug in my program, I notice that after the fan schedule program runs, light still comes on sometimes. I can see down hallway while watching TV in family room. Since I have motion sensor set to 10 sec reset which is the quickest, these lines in the fan on program... Set 'Downstairs Bathroom / Downstairs Bathroom Fan' Off Wait 4 seconds Enable Program 'Downstairs Bathroom On' I should wait at least 10 seconds (probably bit longer just in case) prior to re-enabling the Downstairs Bathroom On in order for it to clear the motion sensor state if was accidentally triggered via RF interference when bathroom fan is turned off. I think that enabling the program with motion sensor on may make the if true, but not sure on this. Gonna make change anyways and see if fixes.

GE/Enbrighten In-Wall Smart Motion Switch has Motion interference issues.
I am going to try it with Zen51 hanging out a bit further away from the GE motion light to see if interferes still. Putting in fan box would work, but there is also a humidistat control in hallway outside that is wired in parallel and turns fan on so based on humidity setting so not sure how that wiring would work at fan. I would have to change the Zen51 parameter from momentary back to toggle and I would also gain ability to tell when fan is on with humidistat... but I think it could get out of sync if turned on/off remotely and make humidistat be backwards. Maybe I can wire behind the humidistat instead. The downstairs bathroom does not have a humidistat so would be a more suitable location to test this. Ideally, should remote the humidistat and use something like ZSE40 to monitor humidity. Not sure why they put these humidistats in, think it is code, but I doubt that one fan can dehumidify the entire house considering I have three levels.

What if you got to change edit and save ? Is it the programs or notifications themselves ?

GE/Enbrighten In-Wall Smart Motion Switch has Motion interference issues.
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.

Insteon Keypad to execute Alexa command
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 ?

Sensor, Switch, and PLM Suggestions
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

Sensor, Switch, and PLM Suggestions
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.

Support thread: IoX 5.5.7 Release
Maybe there is a correlation between some ZSE29 working and some not based on firmware version.
-
Support thread: IoX 5.5.7 Release
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?

Support thread: IoX 5.5.7 Release
Add them and uncheck all the security no s2 etc.. See if works.

Need help with heartbeat loss programming
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.
