Hey Guys , has anyone tried to install this z-wave garage door opener. Eisy syncs with it (no problem), but after connecting it the console just shows a blank screen (i.e., not any buttons to open-shut, etc). I've tried the usual exclude/resets, etc, but i can't get anywhere with this thing. I contracted the company, and they said "oh you need to install the door position sensor on the garage door and cycle the sytstem a couple of times. Tried that - nothing. Thanks for any input! KP

Hey Paul : thanks. i'm what i'll call a "convicted user" still learning about the device and it's programing. I keep looking at this driveway sensor. Maybe what you said above will help. It has to have certain variables to work - namely "always open" until the drive senses a car or person, then it signals and the window alarm closes which then eaisy's program notifies some chimes in the house. I'm gonna look at this one again. Thanks for the input.

Here we go. had a 994 for ever . Upgraded to an eisy (5226), running 6.0.4 . Started from scratch, built many porgrams and addd a bunch of zwave (and some insteon) devices. Ok - were cookin! . Well, not so fast. The machine started freezing, per no schedule, and the ony way to get in it is to pulll th plug and power it back up. Tallked to Michel, and he has tried to get this fixed. Says a program may have some loop that is causing this, but that is a llittle confusing becuase my programs are pretty simple, Had toreset the dongle, which of course brought it ack to scratch. Rebuilt all prgorams again (door locks sucked because i'm on acerage and the ony way to program them is to pull them off the doors and bring them in close to unit. Tried again. Michel says no to upgrade. (yet) . He asked if i have any green icons next to programs. I do have one - next to a driveway monitor (thought i was clever - put a window alarm switch on a driveway monitor - when someone comes here, sets off a zwave series of chimes we can hear from anywhere in the house). So, that program does have a green icon next to it. Don't know what hat means. Sent in anoter ticket just a few ago. ANyone elese have any ideas? Stumpped on what to do. Toolman

Well, trying to jump ahead. i do have a UD zwave dongle on order, and think it may be shipped today or Monday. Trying to jump ahead . I have a silos 800 zwave antenna, but this system is not just plug-and-play . Has anyone else done this ? If so, what was your procedure? Thanks !

Michel: PLEASE!!!! I know developmental software is super time consuming and expensive. With that, i hope you will consider a re-do on the admin console (adobe based) for those of us that still like to use a laptop.

Still running ISY 994. Every time i look to upgrade to EISY the add-on Z-wave dongle is not available,,,sigh,,,. The question i have is the desktop software for EISY. Think i read it's the same for ISY. I have Mobilinc, which is ok, but i still use my laptop for most programing. Are we still tied to the yuk adobe based admin console ? Or does it become a must-do to jump to something like home assistant. Thanks for input!

Thanks - much better understanding of what the matter-board comes with. For anyone else that wants to try and understand what is happening in the zwave device arena and if the product that you are buying is in "current technology" (whatever that really means), go to www.z-wavealliance.org This site will give you the ability to look up a product by manufacturer and see if it is 700 compatiible . From what i can see, looks like most all of the z-wave plus devices are 700 series. i only have insteon and zwave devices, but if this "attachment" comes with a zigbee antenna and software, it's sorta game on for some additional devices. One thing i know for sure, can you imagine what the posts will be on this and other sites 5 years from now? Think it's super important to continue to carry these blog sites forward to share info. and ideas.

A2Z -i'm about the same place today that you were last month. If you received all of your components, can you comment on performance, ease to convert, etc.? Also really wondering about range of the zwave matter module. silab's 700 supposedly is 1/2 the range of 800. So, wonder if the U.D. will at some point make the zwave device that works with eisy capable of a huge upgrade to 800. trying to see what is coming and how well this may work over my 994i. thanks

howdy. ok - i've had a isy 994 for several years. We live on 8 acres and have two buildings on the property. Getting a reliable zwave signal to all of my devices had been challenging, but after some tweaks, it has been pretty reliable. Now on to Eisy. All pretty straightforward, right? hmm, not for me. Insteon (with their kit), does not look like a big deal. However, i am confused about the zwave matter module . this is also pretty straight forward, but in the description is an interesting snipit. I'll copy: Enhanced Range Start enjoying the enhanced range afforded by high caliber external antennas (on the sides) in conjunction with SiLab’s 700 series Z-Wave and Zigbee/Matter radios. Ok - so do i assume: 1/this usb zwave module comes with (1) antenna for zwave? Also, if you have not done so, take a peak at silabs web site. If you do any reading over there, one inquisitive smart home dude might say, hey, will this matter usb module eventually be able to be upgraded to SiLabs 800series? or better yet to SiLabs zwave LR (they are giving ranges in the description of this product that would allow this controller, with no range extenders, to reach the far corners of my 8 acre property). So, hoping someone out there knows more about the future of this module than i do. thanks for weighing in.

i did. thanks - yeah, tons of space on the sd. not sure what's up with the node count .

I actually did both. Remove the zwave device from isy, and do a factory reset. Pulled the 32gb sd card and looked at it's space - plenty there. The program "guts" of ISY are not that significant. Something though is very wrong, because this afternoon ISY deleted another Schlage z-wave lock. So, i had 7 functioning, now i am down to 5. One interesting clue. The personal code that one can add to the zwave lock no longer works either. I'm completely stumped.

I have the pro version. I had not thought about the space issues. I have tried every way on planet isy to delete-add,etc this 7th. lock. i did replace the 32gb sd card about a year ago. I also have a ton of stuff running on my system. So, one would ask, how do we see how much of our s.d. card is occupied outside of removing it and putting it in another device to read?

Ok - i am running a 994 with current software. In my house, i have about 30 insteon and 30 z-wave devices. I also have 7 Schlage z-wave door locks. My house is pretty large and rectangular. I also have an outbuilding 70' away from the main dwelling. This has all given me ample challenges getting a reliable signal to both buildings. Many experiments with Aeotec 7 range extenders have given me a pretty reliable signal to all areas. Problem: a few weeks ago, the Schlage z-wave lock on the outbuilding "vanished" off of the ISY console. Just dissapeared. i excluded it (that actually worked), but there is absolutely nothing i can do to re-add it. Figured this was a hardware failure in the lock, so went through a test with a Schlage tech, and they agreed, and sent me a new one. Same result. I flat out can't add another lock. Weird thing to me is that there are 6 others , exact same model, running off this ISY. Anyone have this issue, or is there another way to try and add this device. While programing, i have kept the ISY a foot away from the lock, but it still won't pair.

Me too. Limited research on it, but virius protection isn't screaming and i see nothing in the tank about it. I thought the same thing you did above - what is up with the extensions given start/admin open in a browser. Makes me do another hmm,, . So, it's working, shouldn't be this big of a deal, and hopefully at some point the developers will figure out an easier way to get shortcuts on the desktop and taskbar. Thanks again for all info. and responsive posts.

Well, the beauty of these forums is that the comments usually lead to re-thinking a problem. Hart-2-Hart and Mr. Bill , i appreciate your comments. Got to thinking about google chrome, and did some research. Turns out that chrome did eliminates some extensions, including java. I downloaded what i will mistakenly call a patch that allows extensions to run in chrome. I'm not a browser expert, so i just have a basic grasp of how java and search engines work or don't work in common. The download came from a site listed as "IE Tab" and allowed me to add java extensions. Hmmmm, could this be the end of 4 hours of work? Yup, it was. Allowed me to drop a shortcut in the task bar that now, with one click, opens the admin console. So, passing along . Thanks guys for the helpful input.
