Given the issues with 5.5.3 and devices I have (Zooz ZEN17 and ZSE42), I think I will wait some more. Feels weird to have paid $130+ for a "beta" device.
-
Yes - I even did a full reset on the Eisy and tried to start from scratch without migrating. Again, clicking on Add Z-Wave device had no effect (normally I would see a popup saying it was listening.) I've managed to rebuild the ISY.
-
I decided to start from fresh as my migration from an ISY994i to Eisy wasn't working (Z-Wave migration never finished). So I reset the "beta" dongle and the Eisy. Taking a Z-wave device that I also reset, I tried to add it. In AP, clicking "Add Z-Wave Device" did nothing. Same in UD Mobile. If in UD Mobile I try adding by QR code, it scans the code, buzzes the phone, and does nothing else. Unfortunately, it seems that the backup of the 994 I did is corrupted, as restoring that to the 994 yields multiple errors about CFG files. This is all VERY frustrating! If I can make some progress with the Eisy, fine, but right now it seems to just sit there.
-
I am in the middle of this now, migrating from an ISY994i. I am at the point with the "System Busy" doing something with the Z-Wave devices, yet nothing appears to be happening for more than half an hour (other than the progress bar getting to 100 and starting over. I have tried restarting iOx to no effect. Worse, when I decided to try reverting to my ISY (currently unplugged), it had forgotten everything and a restore from backup did not help. So I guess I am stuck with trying to get the EISY going. Not a happy camper at the moment.
-
Looks as if I am in the same place. I received the Z-Wave/Matter dongle today, but it is not recognized. The migration instructions say to do a backup of Z-Wave on the ISY (994i for me with 500-series Z-Wave), but it isn't clear where this backup goes and the instructions never talk about restoring it. Should I just revert to the 994i for now until UD figures out what we should REALLY do?

ISY994i, 5.3.4
-
Even though Zooz doesn't support ISY, I have had success communicating with their support staff. I have three of the ZSE42, but have not seen the issue you raise (and they have triggered in the past.)

non-www url doesn't work. Kinda silly in 2022
Steve L replied to dsstrainer's topic in Site Comments
Yeah, I noticed this a week or so ago and agree it is such a basic part of creating web sites. UD isn't the only site I've used that missed this, and it is indeed so trivial to fix. -
I have an ISY994 with the 500 Z-Wave board. I now have three Zooz ZSE42 leak sensors and two ZEN34 remote switches - all of these powered by one or two coin cells and are Z-Wave 700. Zooz support tells me that these devices report their battery level every 12 hours (by default), as a form of "heartbeat", and I can see this in the event log when I include the device. However, my ISY doesn't see any activity from the devices at all unless they are triggered (leak detected, switch pushed), in which case they work fine. If I manually wake them up, the ISY sees the wakeup, followed by "nothing to do, going to sleep". Zooz says they don't have an ISY in-house to test the behavior, as they don't claim support for ISY as a hub, I've attached the event log from when I re-added one of the sensors - I see it reported battery level towards the end. I will note that one of the ZEN34s started reporting randomly varying battery levels, which the ISY did see. I upgraded its firmware to the latest, replaced the batteries, and that behavior stopped. But at least that tells me that the ISY does know how to interpret a battery level report! Do others have experience with these Zooz devices and can comment? It's a minor thing, really - I assume that they will report changes of 10% the way some of my other Z-Wave devices will. (There's also a "low battery" report at 20%.) Maybe if I upgraded to a 700 (or the new 800?) series hub, this would resolve itself. ISY-Events-Log.v5.3.4__Fri 2022.12.09 08.01.28 PM.txt

It's possible I do not understand the term fully. The switches are the Zooz ZEN71 and ZEN34. The documentation shows them capable of initiating scenes, but you're right that they rely on a hub to respond to the request.
-
Yes, the switches are all capable of being scene controllers. Some are in blue (that LR Controller, for example) and some are in red.
-
Hmm - now I am confused more. I have sensors (such as the Zooz ZSE42 leak sensor) display in blue, and switches (which can be both) in red.
-
This seems like such a silly question, but I have gone through as much of the ISY documentation as I could and didn't find the answer. In the ISY994i Admin tree view, some of the nodes are shown in blue and some in pink (see attachment). What do the two colors represent? Some of the ISY Wiki pages show these two colors but never explain them.
-
I have a couple of the Zooz Z-Wave ZEN34 Remote Switch, which is very much like the Insteon mini remote (it uses coin cells rather than recharging). The only difference I have found so far is that if the ISY thinks something is off but the last thing the ZEN34 saw was an ON press, it won't trigger anything until you press OFF first. (Perhaps there's a way around this, I'd be delighted to hear any.)
-
The Timer.Lights program did run, and it would have been stopped if the FrontLights.Off program had run.
-
Ah, I was sure I was missing something. Thanks!
-
I'd still like to know, though, why the program wasn't triggered by the variable meeting the condition.
-
Interesting - that's very close to what I had before, that mostly worked, but had some glitches. Let me see if this does what I want - thanks.

I have two light switches and two motion sensors. While either of the sensors detect motion, I want the two switches to be on for two minutes, then turn off. Any new motion resets the time to two minutes. Following the ideas in https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/37370-interesting-way-of-looking-at-programming-on-isy994/ , I have the following programs: Front Sensor On - [ID 0003][Parent 000E] If ( 'Driveway Motion Sensor / ZW 002 Home Security Alarm' Home Security is Motion (no location) Or 'Walkway Sensor / ZW 011 Home Security Alarm' Home Security is Motion (no location) ) Then Set 'Front Door Switch' On Set 'Driveway Light switch' On $Clock.FrontLights = 3 Run Program 'Timer.Lights' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') FrontLights.Off - [ID 0012][Parent 000E] If $Clock.FrontLights < 1 Then Set 'Front Door Switch' Off Set 'Driveway Light switch' Off Stop program 'Timer.Lights' $Clock.FrontLights = 255 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Timer.Lights - [ID 0010][Parent 000F] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat Every 1 minute $Clock.FrontLights -= 1 Wait 1 second Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Turning on the lights is no problem. I can see the variable decrementing to zero, and then... FrontLights Off never runs and the variable continues to decrement. I can manually run the Off program and it does what it is supposed to do, but why doesn't it run when the variable goes to zero?
-
I have the ZSE29 v2.0, works great with my ISY994. It's the only motion sensor I can find that is rated for outdoor use.

Not the best reception for front door lock, zwave questions
Steve L replied to ctviggen1's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
I too have a new Z-Wave front door lock, and I spent a lot of time researching just what one can do with Z-Wave here. Regarding existing codes, there is no support in the Z-Wave protocol for locks to provide that information - you can set or delete only. As for your reception issues, my understanding is that the Z-Wave network recalculates the map every 24 hours or so. Try deleting and re-adding the lock to your hub, while it is mounted where you want it. -
OK, so no iPad... ? I hope that the Users support is added in the next couple of months. Thanks again.
-
I need a hint - is this something I can do from a web browser on an iPad? Or is it something that requires Java support?
-
Augh! Yes, that was it. All working now. I'll blame my ancient eyes.
-
I did do the test, as well as actually triggering the notification from a program - no difference. Tried a couple of other things. $(sys.time) works in an email notification, but USRNUM doesn't. Perhaps USRNUM is not the right thing to use here, but I don't know what else would be. Is there a way from admin to see what values are available? Door was unlocked by user $(sys.node.ZW007_1.USRNUM) $(sys.node.ZW007_306N001.USRNUM) at 1:58:32 PM $(sys.time) doesn't work in a resource notification.
