Thanks - when you say "upgrade udx first", I assume you mean Upgrade Packages (which upgrades everything)? I don't see an option to upgrade just one specific component like UDX.

So does this mean if my Polisy is on the Beta repo at 5.0.0_4, I cannot update using the Upgrade Packages button and need to do another SSH update at some point? Or, should I switch over to the Staging repo?

Slightly off-topic but generally related to discussions in this thread - does anyone know for certain how the Zwave dongle will behave if your system has a combination of 700 and 800 devices? From what I understand, 700-series devices are designed to work in a mesh configuration, whereas 800 devices operate as a star network (each device communicates with the dongle directly). I believe 800 devices can also fall back to behave like a 700 device, so they can all work together in the same system. But this loses the range improvements some people are hoping for with a point-to-point 800-series device. So would the ZMatter dongle use 700 and 800 communications simultaneously (allowing for both a mesh and a star network together), or would it expect all 700 and 800 devices to behave as part of a 700-series mesh network as long as there's at least one 700-series device present? (Interestingly, due to the star nature of 800-series communications, you actually lose out on the direct association features of ZWave - since none of the nodes talk to each other, there's no way to set them up with a truly independent link that can operate separately from the hub)

I'm running 1.3.8 and can't find where to update the firmware in a Zwave device, does this feature exist yet?

To add a data point: I just completed this update from 7.32 to 7.46 (with a stop at 7.42 to update the bootloader). Aside from a couple of hiccups (connection failures and retries), everything worked well and my Polisy (running 6.1.2) is back up and working great. I have no need for the 800LR capabilities as I have a mixture of 700 and 800 devices, but appreciate the bug fixes and stability with later releases. (In the past few weeks I've been updating a lot of my Zooz devices, many of which have new firmware out this month updating their API from 7.19 to 7.24, and have noticed improved performance)

Great stuff, thanks for the post! A few questions: You mention Firmware Update, is this actually the API you're updating? As shown in Protocols / Z-Wave / X-Ray / DH Controller: String DATA controller.data.APIVersion = "07.32" Integer DATA controller.data.APIVersionMajor = 7 (0x00000007) Integer DATA controller.data.APIVersionMinor = 32 (0x00000020)Now that you completed this update, have you noticed any changes or improvements in operation? And finally, I assume this update can be made regardless of the controller being used (EISY vs. Polisy)?

Last thing I tried was a full power cycle, followed by another upgrade attempt ("Your packages are up to date"). I'm seeing FreeBSD both at /WEB/sysconfig.txt *** OS *** FreeBSD polisy 14.1-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p6 releng/14.1-n267727-74b6c983723c POLISY amd64and when I ssh into the unit Last login: Thu Sep 17 12:36:27 2026 from 192.168.160.126 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p6 (POLISY) releng/14.1-n267727-74b6c983723cI've opened a ticket, although your help has been very much appreciated (and a lot more responsive)

So it turned out I did need to install eisyui rather than upgrade, but after sudo reboot I still don't see a change. I just did a power-cycle reboot and it still shows FreeBSD 14.1, with no web access. Doing another sudo repo.util prod and then sudo pkg upgrade udx isy eisyui pg3x just results in Updating udi repository catalogue... udi repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) Your packages are up to date.And strangely, at the same time my Finder can no longer see the Polisy, and I can't add it. But UDMobile can see it fine, and everything appears to be working.

Ok it seems IoX is now on 6.1.2, but FreeBSD is still on 14.1 - should this update too? Also, should I now be able to go directly to the controller's http interface rather than using Java? I'm getting This site can’t be reached / 192.168.160.xxx refused to connect

I followed the procedure in this thread for my Polisy (IoX 5.9.1, FreeBSD polisy 14.1) and it looks like a lot of files were downloaded and updated, but then the SSH prompt came back and it's just sitting there. Should it reboot automatically? Also, I noticed one of the messages during the upgrade was "pkg: eisyui is not installed, therefore upgrade is impossible", - I assume this is expected since it's a Polisy?

I'm curious, is this an issue with the Z-Wave standard (Z-Wave products are not supposed to publish controls, therefore UDI will have to find a way to work around that), or is it an issue with some specific Z-Wave vendors not implementing the standard correctly?

Precisely - hence the reason I started this thread. This sounds like good news. I've never used an eisy, but imagine it's faster than a Polisy. So for 6.x to run slower on Polisy than it does on an eisy is pretty much expected. And it sounds like (due to the way the admin console loads) 6.1 on Polisy may actually perform faster than 5.9.1 does on Polisy.

This is something I'm particularly interested in - if it were really true that this update is all good stuff, why didn't UDI make it possible to automatically update from 5.9.x? What's the reason for needing to do a manual update? I saw mention of Polisy running on slower hardware and therefore 6.x.x might seem sluggish, is this true? If so, has anyone who has done the update noticed? Is it "minor annoyance" sluggish or "almost unusable"?

@Javi Is the issue mentioned above (ID: /udi-tasks/issues/12) something that we can view, or is it internal to UDI?

I've got a Polisy running IoX 5.9.1 (FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p6). It's got maybe 50 programs and 50 devices. I'm seeing lots of posts about 6.x.x versions, and that they're primarily meant for eisy products, but also that a Polisy update is "possible". I'm wondering if it's worth it to update. Honestly my system is running fine, but it would be nice to get rid of the Java interface. Aside from that, I'm wondering what other benefits 6.x.x would give me -- and, what other possible hiccups I could encounter with a newer version.
