How to differentiate between Zwave and Zwave LR?
For the procedure, read the forum thread I referenced earlier. Pay attention to the posts written by me and @junkycosmos . For using a Mac, you'll have to figure out the equivalences on your own. @Javi mentions having used a Mac. Read the whole thread before getting started.

How to differentiate between Zwave and Zwave LR?
Yes. If it was never updated, your ZMatter dongle is very likely at firmware 7.32. You can see the version in eisy-ui by going into the Z-Wave menu and clicking on X-Ray -> DH Controller. Here's mine after the update, see how the APIVersion = "07.46"

How to differentiate between Zwave and Zwave LR?
The biggest indication of LR operation is the node number. It should start at 256. I don't know what your Zwave dongle is, I have the ZMatter, so node names are prefixed with ZY. My first (and only) LR device thus has node name ZY256. But you would have to have included it as a LR device, with some setting up. Notice how the Zwave setup screen below shows the Z-Wave Region as US LR: Then there is the dongle firmware update and everything else that needs to be done:

Change background and colors on eisy-ui
Yes, though some of us have color monitors 😆 It would be nice to pick a soothing background color.

...and that's why we need the Find/Replace feature added to eisy-ui asap! 😆

EISY connectivity due to dhcp
The usual workaround is to reserve a DHCP address in your router for the eisy's MAC address. Another workaround is to set a second, fixed IP address in your eisy as an alias. This is copied from another post I did a while back: FreeBSD allows you to set more than one IP address for a network interface. The idea here is to let DHCP do it's thing, which keeps UDI happy because the correct default gateway, nameserver, etc settings are acquired. Then you define a second IP address that can be static, as an alias. It only takes one line added to the /etc/rc.conf file. The line is (for a eisy) : ifconfig re0 <fixed IP address> netmask <netmask> alias The terminating "alias" is of utmost importance! For whatever reason it is suggested that the netmask be different than the default one, so I made it smaller. Only thing is that this can sometimes get deleted after a udx upgrade, so you might need to redo it if that happens.

Using Admin Console, use the Find/Replace feature to look for any program references to that device. Look through scenes too. Also, do you have anything at all scheduled for that time?

EISY-UI not ready for prime time
The only thing missing for me is the Find/Replace function. Once that's added, it will be fully functional for me. After that, it's all about getting used to it.

EISY-UI not ready for prime time
To sort the programs, hover your mouse over the "Program" title bar, and click on the three little dots that appear. You can then choose to sort by ascending or descending order. Yes, it still needs work, but it's getting there.

No Scenes in eisy-ui!
Well in eisy-ui, go into the Nodes list and click on the "+" at the top. You'll be asked if you want to create a new folder or a new group (ie: scene). Similarly, when you're browsing nodes, you can right click on one and one of the choices is "Add to group". Group is the new Scene... Wait until you discover how editable scenes (err...groups) are! You click on the ">" left of the controller name and you can edit every detail (dim level, ramp rate, color, etc) of each responder.

No Scenes in eisy-ui!
Ok, no biggie. All my scenes are named "Scn_xxx" so they appear together. I did like that they appeared at the bottom in admin console. Could be forced if prefixed with a high ascii character.

Quite the unusual date! Star Date? 19th Month?!
It's been a long year at UDI 😆

No Scenes in eisy-ui!
As @dbwarner5 suggested, I'd also prefer scenes to be under a separate tab, right under nodes.

eISY Favorites Dashboard
Good idea, a separate Favorites tab.

Polisy Pro Migration to eisy lite-Feedback Requested
I tried a Zooz to ZMatter migration: it doesn't work, despite the instructions given (make a migration backup, etc) And there is no ZWave backup option when you have the Zooz stick. Truth is, you'll need to re-include your Zwave devices. Though if it's the same physical stick, just moving it over to the eisy sounds like it should work.

Integrated plugins: list of what works ok?
How about maintaining a list of the plugins that are working fine, vs ones that need adjustments?

Bye bye admin console polisy implications?
That looks more like a 64 GB SSD getting full available capacity.

Bye bye admin console polisy implications?
The reflash instructions that several of us got last year didn't mention the resize32 script! Better late than never 🙂

Bye bye admin console polisy implications?
Yes, I've done that: make a new image file. 32 GB is plenty of space for everything, including eisy-ui, plugins etc. The screenshot of my df command above is my test Polisy with all the latest versions. Since you say you have 2 Polisys, why not make a new image file from the not reimaged one instead of the recovery image you got from UDI. It's that recovery image (I think it was 5.9.1) that had the problematic small image. But post your df screenshot. I'd like to see it.

No, the hardware can handle both 32 and 64 GB SSDs. If you do have a spare SSD as you seem to saying try this: make a backup of your current system, then take out the SSD. Flash the new SSD the way you did it to recover and put that in your Polisy, then restore your backup. Now you're running a clone of your system, and do the filesystem expansion process as shown in the video. No risk for your original SSD.

Reallocating the drive to use the full 64 MB is more work, because another partition has to be moved (partitions have to be contiguous). I also have a 64 GB SSD in one of my Polisys, but I left it configured as a 32 GB. The whole UDI software only requires about 6 GB.

Polisy Pro for sale
It does have value as a test platform for a nerd like me! Post an asking price and where you are. I'm sure someone will be interested.

Bingo, telltale sign. You can ssh into it and then do: df This will show the disk space. It should look like this: Let me find the forum thread about this and I'll post it.
