I've originally put it behind dry wall but that made reception worse - to the point of being unable to enroll some devices. Want to hang it on the wall but there's no hardware to attach it. Would appreciate any suggestions.

So, in the past, I've purchased a bunch of Leviton DZPD3-2BW to use as repeaters due to their Z-Wave Plus beaming capabilities. But now with ZMatter board we have support for S2 security. Since those Leviton units do not support s2 security, would they be able to repeat s2 signals. Or are those just point to point encrypted and repeaters can just repeat them in the encrypted form. Just trying to educate myself.

Using antenna extension cables with the ZMatter board in a Policy?
firstone replied to inovermyhead's topic in ZMatter
You might be better off getting USB enclosure and using USB extension cable. -
If you go static DHCP route, it's pretty simple and consistent for all devices. Polisy or original ISY or linux server or Hue hub - all go same way. Find lease, add static IP - done.
-
Try to Z-Wave adapter Backup then Restore. See if that creates paired nodes.
-
Once more thing - if network resources are pointing to ISY itself, they need to change. On 994 it was http://localhost:80. On polisy and probably eisy it's https://localhost:8443. And "Use SNI" box has to be checked. Also, for ZMatter rest path changed from /rest/zwave to /rest/zmatter/zwave.

Before we start, I hope you've ordered USB ZMatter, as I believe board will not work with eisy. I was in a similar scenario as you but performed upgrade from ISY to Isy on Polisy with ZMatter USB two days ago. While my ISY is only about 3 years old, I've seen some weird errors while trying to save programs. Something like DHCP error. Seems not related and garbage. Also, was getting scared I might lose PLM. I have 2 usb PLMs (although old) and wanted backup until Insteon catches up. Upgrade was mostly painless: Backed up ISY Unplugged it Plugged serial PLM with original serial cable (luckily I found 3 from old days) Plugged ZMatter USB via active USB extension cable and placed it in the ceiling box for better reception Enabled Z-Wave and Insteon Switched Z-Wave to ZMatter Added new box in portal with trial license Authorized it in Admin console Transferred set up and license from ISY to polisy in Portal Insteon started working right away. All program were there. Z-Wave had to be added by hand. But was able to add pretty much all devices where they are. Including my Schlage locks. Those paired, prompted for S2 DSK keys and added just fine. Previously, they had to be in the room next to ISY to be paired. My outdoor GE/Enbright outlets also added fine, prompted for S2 DSK. All my Bali blinds (Somfy motors) added fine as well. The only issue I've had were Aeon TriSensors - those appear to be PITA to operate. For your particular set up: Programs, variables, PLM, Insteon stuff should work. Don't know much about ELK. I have ELK alarm but not connected to ISY. Network resources should transfer if they're outgoing network resources. But if IP changes or you're trying to access node that has address changed, you'll need to adjust. Node Servers - you're not specifying where they're running right now. ISY backup/restore will transfer node server stuff on ISY side but that doesn't mean much. You'd have to transfer polyglot DB. Not sure if there's procedure for that. I'd recommend just remove node servers prior to migration. And re-install them on eisy. You might need to update the programs and scenes to add node server nodes after this though. For portal transfer, everything should mostly work. But a particular node changes - new zwave node address or different node server node address - those need to be recreated. The last 2 items are a chunk of work but I'm very happy with the result. Especially ZMatter adapter. I feel like ZWave support is "production ready" now. I've never felt that way about isy zwave.

IR transmitter functionality can be done with something like Global Caché IP2IR iTach TCP/IP to IR Converter. Or for those with electronics knowledge and time with https://github.com/mdhiggins/ESP8266-HTTP-IR-Blaster IR receive is more complicated - as has been noted, Flirc basically sends keyboard presses to the system. This works fine on dedicated system, like RPi. But if one were to run a node server on polisy/eisy that intercepts key presses and does something, it would make for funny things on the box itself. That is - if you plug in a keyboard and press a mapped letter, node server would action on it.
-
Any progress with this? I'd love to see it in polyglot node server form. Willing to help out, NDA permitting.
-
Just as it's stopped working, today I've tried and it started working again. Not changes done whatsoever. ? that it happened but ? that it works now.
-
As of few days ago, my scenes stopped working. Nothing has changed in set up and they were working all along. Now, when I say "turn off <scene name>", it says something like "I don't know this device". If I go to Alexa app, I see the scenes (with proper names), but there's no option to turn it off or on. Only "All Off / All On" on top of scene list.
-
Yes, it's the same thing. It was originally written for ISY network calls and I've renamed it as per Michel because he hated the RESTRemote name. Feel free to PM any questions to me. But it's basically request / response framework. If JVC can communicate over network/telnet, it shouldn't be too hard to integrate.

@Chris JahnCan you, please, look into querying schage lock problem? It hasn't been working for me in either B nor C. Not sure when it broke for sure. All write commands (set user code, lock, unlock, etc) work consistently. Query doesn't work. Get Options doesn't work.

If you want this triggered by Alexa voice command, you can do it now. You can create Alexa routine that will play anything and/or control things in ISY. If, however, you wanted this triggered by ISY, currently, you cannot control Alexa playback from AVRemote.
-
Do you mean you want to control playback of Alexa device with ISY program instead of voice commands?
-
No. But you should be able to send commands to nodes using Alexa. Which was my original intent behind writing this node server to start with.
-
Thank you. I've added hint support long time ago but never set it to anything but 0 because it was still in process of being finalized. I'll revisit it as soon as I can test it.
-
Awesome, thank you.
-
I've tried a couple. Both seem to work fine with C.
-
In addition to above, it's up to the developer of individual node server to use short and long poll values or not. So if you have an issue, it's best to address in the particular node server forum.
-
Well, I have several sensors I've bought on black friday and but didn't get a chance to set them up. I will do it and will report.
-
I'd been using open / close sensor (2 parts one, not hidden switch) for a few years with no issues whatsoever. That was before .16 though.
-
My speculation is that back in a day memory was more expensive but prices have fallen to the point where it was more expensive to keep ordering separate hardware. Seeing it as "money grab" and "shady" is arbitrary. Would it make you feel better if UDI made you ship your ISY for upgrade and then return it back to you? You have a valid complaint with no appropriate error message. Contract UDI support and have them fix it. Perhaps most of users who test beta firmware use PRO and they're not aware of the issue.

Hello. I'd like use Somfy RTS with cellular blinds but cannot afford getting something like 25 of them right now. If anybody has experience with it, is it possible to order blinds separate and retrofit motors later? What kind would I get? Corded? Cordless? I've tried to call blinds.com and they said their blinds cannot be retrofitted. Doesn't sound right to me.

I may or may not have asked for it in the past. I'd like to see all nodes with full folder/subfolder/parent when adding nodes to alexa or google home. I don't have unique names for my lights, instead preferring to rely on organizing them into folders. It works well with programs and scenes in Admin console. But not so well with portal. Since parent information is supplied as part of /rest/nodes, I don't see it being such significant amount of work. Thank you.
