The ability to use formatting strings (like printf) would be a nice plus.

Handful? Like a scene maybe? Always the same ones?

Have you tried enabling LR in eisy-ui? On the Z-Wave screen, select the "US LR" Z-Wave region. It won't appear to be selected at first, but if you then turn Z-Wave Support off and back on, then you should see US LR appear in the region, then try adding a device with SmartStart Add. It should let you select LR or mesh.

Did you then try the Zsniffer tool? That's what seems to be needed to make it add the license to your dongle firmware. Read my October 10th post in this trhead for the specific things to click on in the tool. it's not very intuitive.

Aww, another Polisy not getting the love it needs! I'm running my own little Polisy no-kill shelter here...I have 3 of them! Even funnier is that I went straight from a ISY994i to a eisy, and got the Polisys after, they came up as opportunities (I wanted the ZMatter boards in them). I use them for testing new releases and testing devices. But I understand that some people are more interested in mainly using their controllers, and not necessarily as a hobby. @michaelrlawrence and @MClark01 you should offer them for sale here. Traditionally, people offer their devices in the Coffee Shop section of the forum. Indicate where you're located, how much you want for them, and if they have any extras, like wifi or a ZMatter board. You might make someone else happy.

So you want a group ungroup!

If you're more geeky, you could also keep that Polisy for testing. I've been doing that and it's been rewarding. Though you sound like you'd just rather have something that's less maintenance.

Open a ticket, An alternative fix would be for UDI to allow you to download an installation image to your own stick and reflash the eisy that way,

The ideal method is by integration (averaging over time). 4 or 5 samples spread out over several minutes, then take an average. Then discard oldest sample and take new one, keep averaging.

You could use math to reverse the value: Light level = 400 - sensor value

I'm starting to think it could be your PLM. Do you have a spare on hand?

Yes, that's annoying.

Welcome into the LR sect! Now that you know the secret handshake, let us know how your tests go.

@Javi Another thing I noticed, which may or may not matter: When I upgraded the dongle firmware, I enabled both the "Long Range" and "Fast Communications (Fast UART)" features. @johnstonf didn't enable "Fast UART" (see his screenshot above). Do you think that this could be related to the timing issues that he experienced?

If you haven't updated your dongle yet, then your existing devices will certainly be in mesh. Re-installing everything in LR when it's working fine in mesh might not be the best idea. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think this will be a dilemma for everyone with an existing Z-Wave setup that's only beginning to get LR devices. The beauty of Z-Wave is that your network can use both LR or mesh, so it might be an idea to try LR if you've been having signal reliability problems with particular devices. If you do reconfigure some devices to LR, let us know how it goes.

You might want to clarify your question a bit more. If you click on the Programs menu (click on the three little lines at the top left of the screen) you'll see your program list, or folders. To open a folder, click on the ">" left of it's name. Click on a program name, which will show it on the right. Click on "Add" to add any lines in a section. re-ordering lines is done by clicking them and dragging them to where you want them. Click on "Save" after any changes.

Oh yes, higher up usually means better communications.

Today I got to do the test of putting it out near the pool. Same results as with the garage: it works, with the odd update delay every now and then. I do like that it does what's needed to get through, repeats or whatever. I also did a bit of Google searching on the subject of Zwave LR vs Yolink, and the general consensus seems to be that Yolink beats out LR on the reliable long range communications.

Are you able to ping it's IP address? Does it appear in your router's device table?

No, the intent of the new thread is to discuss the performance of LR (once you get it working). My first post will give you the idea)

Thing is, when you create a new spoken, the first thing you select is the node. It's the root pointer that everything else is related to. That's probably why it can't be changed.

Since you can log in by admin console, you could try redoing the upgrade from there.

Welcome to the LR camp! Now you can share your experiences in the LR thread I just started 🙂

Then I'd open a ticket.

Polisy upgrades can sometimes need a second reboot to finalize correctly. Try power cycling it.
