I tried my Philips Hue A19-E26 Colored Smart Bulb again but first I added it to the Hue Bridge and then deleted it. Hoping to reset it or something like that. I then put IoX in Add A Zigbee Device mode and it did find it and the bulb blinked for about a minute. It was added as ZB 52391.1 Unavailable and no controls were added to its page on the Main Tab. Looks like it was unsuccessful. There's data in X-Ray for it but I don't know what I'm looking at. I did try an Update with Interview but no help. So anyway, just wanted to pass that along since @SSSasked the question.

I forget that every time.

You might try checking and unchecking z-Wave and or zigbee checkboxes and do a Restart IoX. Maybe that will force it to do some cleanup. As always be sure to do a backup.

Just curious. Are you using the internal ZMatter module or the USB version? Also, what does the AC Main Tab display look like? I'm interested in the control switches and fields that are exposed. thanks.

I noticed the Beta branding on the ZigBee menu in the AC as well. I think Z-Wave had it too but I stopped using that, so I don't know if it's still there.

I just tried a spare Philips Hue color 800 bulb that wasn’t ever added to my system before. I put the Polisy Zigbee add device active, screwed in the bulb, and IoX never saw it. I’ve never added a Zigbee device so I guess that’s how you do it. I have Polisy with the ZMatter module internal and the antenna is hooked up.

The Zigbee release notice just mentions the ZMatter USB requirement. I'm assuming that my Polisy with the internal ZMatter module supports this ZigBee release as well?

I don't see anything in that thread that indicates the i3 Paddle adds as a dimmer with all the correct dimmer configurations in the AC display. There's mention about the i3 Dial working as a dimmer. Are you sure you are saying the i3 Paddle switch is shown as a dimmer in IoX and works for you?

For an update on this topic, I reinstalled my i3 Paddle wall dimmer and IoX 5.6.2 still only sees it as a switch and not a dimmer. I don't see any way to configure it differently.

I don't see it there.

From the AC, Upgrade Packages. I decided to do a Reboot from the AC and that brought PG3x on line but didn't bump up the version shown. It was also displaying that a PG3x restart was required. Not quite sure how to do a PG3x "restart". I just ran the Upgrade Packages again and it seemed to have taken this time. I was able to launch the PG3x dashboard in the browser and it shows version 3.1.36. But, it wants a "Restart". I'll be dammed if I can find anything that says PG3X Restart.

After updating I can no longer connect to PG3. What should I do next?

I did the upgrade packages and it's still showing 3.1.31. Also tried a browser refresh and a reboot but it's still showing the previous revision number. I only have the Notification node server installed and it was still spitting out notifications so I guess it's still working. BTW... I'm on Polisy.

That is utterly ridiculous and rotten customer service when they say it can't be undone. They should at least fire that third party provider or give you some recourse. Very strange because I've had just the opposite experience with orders, defective items and returns with them. Not very smartest of them.

The key is, it has to be the same device type or the newly added device won’t show up as a replacement choice. For instance you can’t replace an on/off device with a dimmer.

Broadcom Unveils 2nd-Gen Wi-Fi 7 Chips: BCM6765, BCM47722, and BCM4390. Just some Wifi7 news. I found this to be a good technical site for keeping up with new technology and equipment reviews. https://dongknows.com/broadcom-2nd-gen-wi-fi-7-bcm6765-bcm47722-bcm4390/

I just bought the ASUS RT-AXE7800 and absolutely love it. I was looking for one that had WiFi 6E. I’m using 6E for the new Amazon Fire TV Cube. It works great. Probably more than what you’re looking for but I just had to raise the recommendation. My Internet provider is Comcast’s GigaBit service. I typically get download speed measurements greater than 900 Mbps. It has 6 antennas.

These items are no longer available.

I've got all this if someone is interested. Send me a direct message with an offer if you'd like. 2 - Ethernet Tag Managers, 1 used, 1 new 1 - Quad Water Leak Sensor 7 - PIR KumoSensors, (5 new) 2 - Reed KumoSensors 11 - Sensor Tags. Various models. 4 - Outdoor Probe Basic, 1 -new 4 - Spare Basic Probes 1 - Outdoor Probe Thermocouple 1 - Outdoor Probe Protimeter (Wood Moisture Meter)

That announcement doesn't provide much guidance for deciding which to use, PG3 or PG3x and why are there 2? Seems like you'd only want one series to maintain going forward.

This upgrade announcement states "PG3x v3.1.29 for eisy and Polisy". I'm on PG3 3.1.21 for Polisy. Now I'm confused about what PG3x is for. I thought it came out for EISY only? Is there some info on this somewhere?

Sorry to hear about your issue with them. My experience has been good in 2022 and Jan 2023 was my last purchase. They have replaced broken devices for me in the past as well as evaluated a device that wasn't working well for me. So, no real issues that I've seen but no transactions with them for many months.

Yes I concur. Still evaluating router specs before pulling the trigger.

Installing a new router and I wanted certain devices, like smart controllers, to keep the same IP from the old router to the new so I thought of using static IP addresses.

Not perfect but doable.
