Cannot set virtual dimmer level with REST command
Interesting. setDim isn't mentioned anywhere in the wiki on the REST commands. Funny thing is that the "cmd/DON/128" format works fine with Insteon switches. I'll try that tomorrow, thanks!

Well it at least enables IPv6, because it's needed for Matter. But always has an IPv4 address too.

Higher Voltage Options for Insteon 6-Button Keypad?
600 volts? In a home or industrial? I've never heard of such voltages in a residence. For an industrial setting, you'd need to use something like DIN on/off module to control a contactor. I'm guessing that he meant watts. The DIN module would be the best option.

Cannot set virtual dimmer level with REST command
- Cannot set virtual dimmer level with REST command
I love this plugin, very handy for several things. Now I'm trying to use it to set a touch lamp to one of 3 levels by program statements that look at a virtual dimmer level setting. Works great if I manually set the virtual dimmer level in admin console. But if I set the level through a REST command (eg: http://admin:<passwd>@192.168.0.xx:8080/rest/nodes/n006_90/cmd/DON/128) nothing happens. Turns on and off through REST ok, but setting level doesn't. Any ideas? Thanks!- Tried these Matter bulbs. No love.
A hub or border router is needed for Thread devices. No need if your device is wifi or wired ethernet. I'm confident that eisy will eventually be able to communicate with Thread devices using the ZMatter dongle (Thread uses Zigbee for it's physical layer). Not sure I understand your "Aidot only" sharing. The very idea of Matter is being able to share devices across platforms. You bluetooth error message seems to imply a communication problem with the device. You really need to unpair it from any other system (Aidot) if it's already commissioned there and you can't share it. A factory reset is often how you can do that.- Eisy appears to be dead.
Looks like it's ticket time.- Eisy appears to be dead.
Did an update occur? What version of IoX were you running yesterday? the first screen shows something about not starting "since we just upgraded". Have you tried the start button options? https://wiki.universal-devices.com/Eisy:User_Guide#Multi_Function_Button You could try the 4 time button press to reset networking. Whatever you do, don't do a factory reset, at least not before you've opened a ticket with UDI to try and recover it first.- Eisy appears to be dead.
Have you tried simple things, like reseating your network cable? A different port on your router? Or a different cable?- Tried these Matter bulbs. No love.
Does the Aidot app offer you Matter sharing codes? Otherwise, you'd need to try a different device. I only tried a GE Cync bulb with Matter over wifi.- Tried these Matter bulbs. No love.
Do you know for a fact if IPv6 is working on your network. It's the only other thing that comes to mind. Also, do you have Google Home? If so then try adding the plug to that, and then getting a sharing code from the Google Home app (and try scanning it in UD Mobile).- Zooz 700 stick still supported
Nice, though doing a factory reset on a in-use controller is never fun. Welcome to Z-wave!- Zooz 700 stick still supported
Also, you mention getting it in 2022 at the time when you got the Polisy. There is a thread in this forum section about an update from Zooz for that stick. Maybe that could make a difference.- Zooz 700 stick still supported
And you're certain your Zooz stick is a 700 series?- Zooz 700 stick still supported
Oops, I made a mistake in my post above. If you see an option button for "Migrate to ZMatter Z-wave" in the config screen like the one below, then you're set up to use the Zooz stick. If your config screen looks like the one in Techman's post, then you're set up to use the ZMatter dongle. If you are indeed set up for ZMatter and want to change it back for Zooz, then do this: From a browser, go to the following URL: http://<your_IP_address>:8080/rest/zmatter/zwave/deactivateZMatterZWave- Zooz 700 stick still supported
I have the Zooz 700 stick on my eisy, running 5.9.1. Works fine. If your config screen is showing a check box to enable Zigbee, then you need to "roll back" the Zwave configuration from Zmatter in order to use the Zooz stick.- Adding Matter Device to EISY
Well, this is an added functionality, so no real impact on existing systems. Add to that the fact that the eisy is very much a techie oriented device, and even more for forum participants. Several of us are more than happy to jump in and learn Matter at the same time.- Splitting IoX instance into two
That's a question that comes up now and then. I don't have an official answer but my theory on it is that yes, messages would be passed on. Contrary to Zwave and other networks where devices are "included" into the network, Insteon is based on direct links between devices that need to talk to each other. There are no required links to intermediate devices to create the mesh network. It is a well known practice to use lamplincs to help powerline only modules like the iolinc with reliability, even though you don't need to set up any links to the lamplinc itself. Even Insteon (the company) mentions doing that as a workaround in their recent webinar.- Tried these Matter bulbs. No love.
One little hiccup I've come across: yesterday the wifi bulb (Cync) stopped responding to commands from the Admin Console, but was still working ok from the Google Home app (from which I shared it). Same thing today. So I deleted it and redid the share from Google Home. Let's see if it lasts longer this time. The Matter sharing codes are only valid for a short period: 15 minutes with the Hue app, 15 minutes with Alexa app...and only 3 minutes with Google Home. Because I'm emailing myself a screenshot of the code to scan it, this is kind of tight. Google should loosen up a bit.- EISY - can i have two z-wave networks?
That problem comes up every now and then. It seems no one has created a zwave extender that could work over ethernet, or something similar. It would be handy as a distance bridge, with one module at each end that could convert zwave to ethernet and vice versa. Assuming you have wired ethernet across that gap, you'd need a eisy at each end, or even find an older isy994i that has a zwave board in it, that you could then control via REST commands from your in-house eisy.- EISY - can i have two z-wave networks?
You can't have two Zwave adapters or networks on a single eisy. What would be the advantage of having a separate Zwave network for the garage?- Does Insteon sell switches rated to dim LED drivers
Are the drivers rated as dimmable? If so, by traditional phase cut dimming methods? Some dimmable devices use a 0 to 10v signal instead. Insteon as planning on introducing such a voltage signal device.- Tried these Matter bulbs. No love.
What type of phone are you using, Android or iOS? My tests have been with Android. Tried upgrading to 5.9.1_18?- Tried these Matter bulbs. No love.
Yup, updated to _18 and added the nanoleaf bulb. Only thing I did different is that I shared it from the Google Home app where it was already configured. Contrary to Alexa and Hue, The Home app offers both a QR code or pin for sharing. So I emailed myself a screenshot of the QR code and scanned it off my PC screen (I only have one phone).- Cannot connect to eisy via Admin console
