  1. No. They are wired EISY with zMatter. Thanks
  2. My zwave devices are functioning but when I try to do an "Update Neighbors" on some devices the update neighbors fails. Screen shot below. Note that it appears that the devices further away from hub are doing it, but not all of them. I can do a successful "Update with Interview" on the devices and I can do a successful "rewrite all device links". Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a fix?

    Zwave 800?

    Anyone?
  4. Thanks @Geddy I see them there now. Must be delayed.
  5. Any reason my posts are not showing in latest activity after I post?

    Zwave 800?

    Any plans for EISY to support Zwave 800 devices? I know they are backwards compatible but looking for EISY to be Zwave 800.
  7. I got my robot mower a year ago. Love it and no boundary wire needed. Its a Mammotion Luba 1 that uses a RTK unit that you mount on house. You then map your yard to setup zones. I manually send it out to mow every other day on my 9K sq ft of Zeon Zoysia in the Atlanta area. However you can setup automated tasks. Mammotion is Chinese company and only around for about two years. I am very tech and patient. That is needed on these Robot anything. I actually have way more problems with maps on my Irobot S9 vacuum and M6 mopping robot. All these robots are just not plug, play and forget. But once dialed in are huge labor savers. Plus cutting my grass every other day has made my grass never look better. You are not removing alot of the grass each mow. With that being said, Wife and I love it. Does great on slopes. Getting your map dialed in for each zone takes some messing with. Some users report App as buggy and some have problems with their robots. Mine works great. It does not have an API yet so you cant integrate with HA or eisy. Lots of YouTube videos on it. There are two good Reddit's on it too at: MammotionTechnology (reddit.com) Mammotion Tech (reddit.com) If you are not patient or tech type, then this is not for you as there is no real local support store for it. In that case you can go with a boundary wire or RTK model Husqvarna but you will pay twice as much.
  8. Not to be a "Debbie Downer" but what does this give me to upgrade? My Yolink hub is plugged into same Battery Backup APC as my eISY so nothing there. It has a Cellular hub. I have a dual WAN setup with Tmobile Home internet (5G Cellular) and Xfinity cable modem. Ubiquity router switches to Tmobile 5G modem if Xfinity is down. Its still not a true local hub as it uses cloud over cell. If you dont currently have a battery backup or dual wan, I can see a reason to get. I dont know how much that sim card and service will be but Tmobile 5G home internet is $50 a month with no minimums. However speed varies and is not available everywhere.
  9. This is why I use a Zwave motion, Temp and Humidity sensor in shower area of bathroom. Using motion, fan comes on for 5 minutes if someone uses the bathroom and stays on for 5 min. The motion gives the humidity sensor time to stabilize in that 5 minutes if using the shower and stays on until humidity drops to the desired level. However, I dont find the zwave connection to eisy stable on these battery motions. Sometimes I have to remove battery and reinstall to get it to reconnect. That is why I would love yolink to create a motion with temp and humidity so I can mimic how I do it now. Yes I could put a yolink motion and temp/humidity sensor but would prefer not to have so much hardware on ceiling and it makes it costlier.
  10. Good plan. Would love to hear how the motion analysis turns out. Not a big fan of the insteon and zwave motions I have now. I wish they offered a motion with humidity sensor too. I have these zWave in bathrooms now. So far yolink has been rock solid on the temp sensors in fridge and freezer and water leak detection. Integration with eISY has been perfect too. I will really look at going Yolink before zwave devices going forward. Only drawback is Yolink does not have a local hub yet. Everything goes to cloud. Has not been a problem yet but connection with Eisy would stop working if internet was down. Not an issue with me as I run a dual wan at the house since I need always on internet as I work from home. Their new hub is supposed to offer it but still not released.
  11. Nice. I still have a zwave outlet strip from Zooz for a few years that works really good. May look at yolink if it goes poof. Be interested in how the motions do. They make an outside version that I will need to try. Right now I have motion floodlights on zwave switches. I find motion floodlights to have alot of false alarms no matter how much I adjust the sensitivity. I wonder if Yolink will be more concise. It would also enable me to point the motion more strategically vs just where the floodlight is. Also want to try inside motions too as my zwave battery motions are just ok.
  12. Im also an Elk M1 guy since 2016 tied into ISY now eISY. Been solid. No false alarms. Installed myself. I use Alarm Relay for internet monitoring. Cheap.
  13. I would think that it would change the resistance of the cable skewing results. Does it offer a temp offset in the sensor where you can calibrate it so it would be accurate with the longer cable? I had to offset the temp of a Yolink temp sensor in my fridge as it was off a little. Was able to do it in Yolink app.
  14. @carealtor There are multple post on zMatter availability here so you can track it: ZMatter - Universal Devices Forum (universal-devices.com) For now, there is always the remote.... I have been happy with the 2 zmatter Smartwings shades. Smartthings hub was cheap and easy to setup so been handling the daily opening and closing with it.
  15. So far so good. just wanted to give the forum my perspective. Isy user since 2016 with over 70 insteon, zwave and matter (Smartthings) devices controlling/ detecting leaks, hot water recirc, lights, motion, Temp, humidity, fans, humidifiers, mailbox, shades, LEDs, alarms and AV. You can say I am hooked... Now adding Yolink. Bought the speaker hub, 3 leak detectors, two temp Humidity sensors for the fridge and freezer, two outdoor contact switches(1 for Luba robot mower to ensure still in dock at night and 1 for my hot tub cover to ensure its closed when Im not home. Got them all on Amazon for less than Yolink site and 1 day delivery. Bought the PG3 Yolink node. Install was very cut and dry on Eisy with PG3. Works great. Have been running insteon leak detectors for years but get bad intermittent reception on a couple of them. Full strength signal with Yolink. Nice that they have a siren on the actual device as it makes it easy to determine where the link is quickly. I still have quite a few Insteon leaks but will only replace if they go bad. Nice to have full strength signal in the fridge and freezer too. Alerts setup in case fridge breaks or other outage. Will continue to monitor but I have high hopes for Yolink due to increased signal strength and distance. Not to mention uses regular AA batteries with some devices getting 2 to 3 year battery intervals. I will definitely look to see Yolink options going forward vs zwave for any new devices.
