Thanks for all the help.

So I moved the Lamplinc closer to the PLM and it worked. I did another one and it found 2 other addresses which I have no clue what they are but obviously couldn't communicate with them. See screen shot. Where are these coming from?

So I reloaded the full firmware without a problem and rebooted. When I do a Tools/Diagnostics/PLM Info status it says 34.E7.BB v9E / Connected so I assume it's all communicating properly. When I try to add back in my first INSTEON device, I get the attached error. I am trying to add a Lamplinc Dual-band Dimmer 2457D2. I must be missing something. Suggestions?

This is my current version. So I can try it like you said. The downside is no notification if the PLM fails. If I load the firmware with PLM support, I assume I'm starting from scratch to load all my devices including my currently defined Z-wave devices - correct?

So if reconnect my PLM with this firmware, it will work with no changes? I can just start adding my INSTEON devices back in?

When INSTEON looked like they were toast, I loaded the Z’-wave firmware version for my ISY994i and started getting a few Z-wave devices. Now it looks like INSTEON is still a viable solution so I want to reload the firmware with the PLM support for my INSTEON devices. Will I loose all my Z-wave device definitions when I do so? Suggestions on best way to proceed? Thanks!

@MrBill, it's an Overhead Door model 1026. Is there an IOS app the Zooz? If I only need one switch sensor, is the Zen16 usable? Isn't it one sensor?

I've been reading articles on Google for the best Z-wave garage door controller. GoControl comes up a lot but is not available. MyChamberlain shows up too but I don't think it's Z-wave or compatible with Alexa. I want a reliable Z-wave controller I can add to my Overhead Door opener that is Alexa compatible. Any suggestions? Does one exist?

Any thoughts on what ZW 002, 3, & 4 are?

@MrBill I have 2 Z-wave repeaters somewhere in this myriad of boxes! LOL

Another data point. I just moved ZW 006 to an outlet at the top of the basement stairs. The admin console immediately showed it ready. I could turn the light on and off. ZW 005 still had the red !. As soon as I did a query on ZW 005, ZW 006 went back to the red ! too!

So we moved and I'm getting out of INSTEON moving to Z-ware (presumably). I did a factory reset on my ISY994i to start from scratch and loaded the Z-wave only 5.3.4 firmware. I tried adding my first Z-wave smart plug from my iMac with my ISY downstairs. It didn't find it. Then I read the smart tips and it said always define a new device close to the ISY. So I took my laptop downstairs right next to my ISY and it found the new device right away! Great. I got a 2 pack of these smart plugs so I did the 2nd one and it added right away too. I thought I was golden. Then I brought both plugs back up to my office and plugged them and logged back into the admin console on my iMac. It cannot reach the plugs! See attached screenshot. The plugs are ZW 005 and 006. The plugs are Ministon Z-wave plugs that are repeaters too. The smart tips said I could move them anywhere after getting them added but that is not working. Also I have no idea with ZW 002, 003, & 004 are. Ideas on that?

Sorry @lilyoyo1 it's been a while since I've done much with my ISY. It just ran and I didn't have to think about it. Now, moving to a new home and with getting out of INSTEON, it's taking me a bit to jump back in.

One other question: I'm thinking I should probably do a factory reset on my entire ISY994i/Z-wave combo since we're in a new house and I'm getting off of INSTEON. I think I should start clean. Agree?

@Javi thanks. I've looked for the Z-wave firmware in the wiki and can't find it. Can anyone point me to it? Also, my Z-wave version is 6.81.00. Is that still current? Not sure if I need an upgrade or not. I added this Z-wave daughter card to my ISY994i a while ago. Thanks!!

This may be a dumb question but with INSTEON going away, can I use my ISY994i with the Z-wave daughter card to simply be a Z-wave controller? We just moved from our house to a condo and I don't really want to go through the INSTEON installation process based on the company's status. I don't think I need the PLM to control Z-wave devices do I? I'm obviously a novice in the Z-wave world and am sad that INSTEON is going away. (Maybe some other company will swoop in and buy them and keep it alive. One can hope,). I also have a Honeywell Lyric Security Controller in the Condo we bought which also does Z-wave so maybe I can just use that? Thanks for any help/guidance.

@MrBill Thanks for your patience. This is just more complicated than I can do. As long as the T-mobile notifications are working, I'll just stick with those. Again, many thanks.

@MrBillnot to be a nube but can you point me to what you're referring to above as "Network Resources"? Thanks.

@SLP sorry. @Geddy answered better than I ever could have. Just as a side note, I had not saved my change to point to @tmomail.net which is why it was not working. Once I changed it AND saved it, my notifications are working again.

Does Pushover need a Polisy installed to work? Sorry but this is not a simple installation process. The wiki instructions assume a lot I think. I guess I'll keep playing with the simple texting or change to email notifications which seem to work.

Duh, never mind. I see the UD app now. My bad.

@MrBill for Pushover, do I create an E-Mail Gateway app? I don't see a specific ISY app in their list of apps.

Thanks @lilyoyo1! I knew it had to be there. Just couldn't find it. Much appreciated.

One other data point. If I send an email to 616XXXXXXX@tmomail.net, I get the text. It just doesn't work from my ISY program.

I looked in the wiki but couldn't find the meaning of a program showing up in the Detail view with a red bar on the left of the icon. Green I know. Solid green I know. Icon with the red circle and slash I know. But I can't find red bar. What does that mean? Thanks.
