The software running on Polisy wouldn’t know a zigbee device. It’s only supporting the z-wave ZooZ stick as detailed elsewhere in the forum. You could have an external ZigBee hub and use a Node Server that supported it. I’m not sure what NS currently do that. Some others can answer that question.
-
I guess it must be a difference between the ZooZ and Enbrighten switches (unless something else is happening). I'm able to select Controller via the button.

EP40 outdoor dual outlet remote switch kind of works
vbPhil replied to TJF1960's topic in Kasa (TP-Link)
I also have the EP40 switch and NS version 3.0.10. I find that after some time passes the status will no longer change when either outlet changes state. If I restart the NS all is fine again. Not sure what else is happening as I just started to take a look at it. I restarted the NS and the status is tracking okay again. I'll look for any clues if/when it acts up again. -phil -
Are you still stuck? I have a GE Enbrighten z-wave dimmer that has about the same nodes as yours. I am able to add the Dimmer Switch node to any of my Insteon scenes as either a controller or responder. I renamed my dimmer switch node, as it was first added, to OR Mesa Main in the snapshot below. I usually delete all those extra nodes for z-wave devices but hadn't done that yet to this one.

Support thread for: ISY on Polisy (IoP) v5.4.4 (May 25, 2022)
vbPhil replied to Michel Kohanim's topic in IoX Support
ditto to that. Mine is in the garage because of optimum location for the Insteon PLM. When Insteon is gone I guess it could be anywhere since it has WiFi. -

vbPhil replied to Michel Kohanim's topic in IoX Support
upgraded to 5.4.4 and PG3 status still shows 5.4.3 for ISY. Issue resolved. Rebooted and ISY version statement is now correct. -

Check the brightness and contrast settings on your monitor. It could be washing out the grey. -

I have an ISY Folder for the Fan object and 2 programs for each virtual speed switch, a get and a set. So for virtual switch FanLow there is a set_fan_low and a get_fan_low program. The set program actually commands the fan speed and the get catches if the fan is controlled from the switch manually and sets the correct virtual switch status. In UD Mobile you see all 4 virtual switches for the fan.

@Goose66is very correct here. I just bought a Bond Bridge and am not very happy with it. But, going into it I wasn't sure how well it would work anyway. I'm most happy with just a pull chain, non-remote fan and a Enlighten z-wave fan switch. This way you get absolute control over the fan and the correct status of the fan in ISY. I had hoped that the Bond Bridge would control a Vornado IR, floor fan but, no. I guess the IR frequency is wrong. It would turn on/off a Dyson IR floor fan but wouldn't control the speeds, rotation or timer. When you "learn" an IR remote with the Bond Bridge it gives you only one toggle button to program. I choose the on/off button so that was all I could do with it. The other hope I had was with my Great Room ceiling fan, a Hunter Apache with SIMPLEConnect WiFi, RF control. The Bond Bridge didn't have the correct FCC ID code for that remote and suggested 2 codes that were close but not exact and only 3 speeds, not 4. Goose66 is right about the fan supporting more functionality than the remote provides but that does you no good if Bond hasn't written a template for that. If you have to "learn" a remote you won't be able to program that additional functionality. So, if your remote only has simple toggle on/off and up/down speeds that's all that Bond will do. The issue with Bond and ISY not in sync is definitely real. If your fan just supports toggle commands the ISY and the fan will never be in sync when you also use the fan remote or WiFi app. Too bad I didn't see Goose66's writeup before my Bond purchase. Could have saved $100.

Here's another use that I just started. My GE Enbrighten z-wave fan switch has 3 speeds and the ISY control only allows for ON percentages, so low =1%, med =53% high= 91%. I created a virtual switch for each speed and a program for each as well. It's especially handy when using UD Mobile as the switch status indicates what speed the fan is at. I arrived at the % by setting the speed at the switch and then checking the status. Also, in the associated program for the virtual it will set the fan ON percentage and turn the other virtuals off. (I just realized that I'm not accounting for the fan switch to be set manually, oh well, more programming required). Hopefully someday the ISY will recognize z-wave devices by model and provide the appropriate controls as it does with Insteon.

@MrBillThanks, I was having the same issue with the AC navigation panel not remembering it's width between sessions. In that Win10 Temp folder I only had these 4 files: udi_frame.state udi_launcher.state udi_pgm.state udi_tree.state I deleted all 4 files while AC was running. After exiting AC, the files were recreated, except for the udi_launcher.state file. When I ran the ISY Launcher it was missing http entry and only had https entry. But, all is well and the AC navigation panel width is now remember across sessions. I was able to readd the http entry at port 8080 in the Launcher and it is also remembered across sessions.

I've been adding my own labels and writing my own manual. Resurrecting some of my technical writing skills of a past life.

For some reason they dropped that configuration from PG3, also any of the WiFi settings. It's all secret stuff now.
-
Where in the instructions do you see that?

I'm not an expert but after I login it displays the dashboard at this url. You might try logging in and then browse to that url. Just a thought. <ip address>:3000/dashboard https://192.168.1.158:3000/dashboard

Has anyone tried the $27 Minoston MP21Z Z-Wave Plug?
vbPhil replied to JTsao's topic in Z-Wave - Series 700
So did you receive it yet. How do you like it? I've been searching for a plug-in dimmer where the load outlet is facing down or left/right, not straight out. So far I'm liking the Leviton DZPD3-2BW Decora Smart Plug-in Dimmer with Z-Wave Technology, White, 1-Pack. It looks to be similar in style to the Insteon Dual Band 2457. It Z-Wave Plus so not 700 series as yet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7NPRSB/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?th=1 https://www.leviton.com/en/products/DZPD3-2BW -
@MrBillWhen logged in to PG3 version numbers are displayed. What is meant by Frontend Version?
-
Was that tongue in cheek or could that be a reality? I always wondered why UDI never produced any Insteon Devices besides a controller.

I’ve posted this elsewhere, the top of my Polisy just now measures 114°F. It feels comfortably warm. If it feels hot, hot then something is seriously wrong. I wonder if your power puck is outputting the wrong voltage. Does it feel hot?
-
Where are you at in the Polisy life cycle. Is this the first time, out of the box or did you have it fully configured or somewhere in between?
-
Well anyway. I'm a mess this morning. The Ministon is Version 2 by their spec. https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/4137?selectedFrequencyId=2 Edit: I have to be more careful reading part numbers. That link is for a switch MP21ZS and not the dimmer MP21ZD. I don't see the dimmer on the Alliance website. Did a search there and it doesn't show up.
-
Thought so by the image. I guess I got turned around. Did a search in Amazon for the IQ Smart Dimmer and the Minoston MP231ZD came up.
