Yes, 3 heals. You can see them in the Event Viewer log I attached. Rechecked, and none of my 15 or so z-wave devices have any neighbors. Only the ISY is listed. Very odd. I may have to go back to the old dongle and try it all again.

I am finding that many of my z-wave devices are working, but only if they are able to directly talk to the ISY. No ability to do any neighbor sharing apparently. I check devices one by one doing z-wave show device links, and the only links that every show up is the ISY itself. No neighbors.

Yup!

Did the install, and have a few issues. I cannot get my front door to give a response, and most of my other z-wave devices are not being seen for some reason. Attached is my event viewer level 3 log (started right after boot).

Also tried device synchronize, with no joy. ISY-Events-Log.v5.0.13__Fri 2018.07.13 02.06.38 PM.zip

FYI, I have also noticed this in 5.0.12 and 5.0.13. ALL z-wave devices show "Query device when awake" when queried, even those that are wired in and never sleep. But in reality, they are being queried immediately, so I always ignored this line in the event viewer. My 500 module just arrived and I will install after my backup is complete. I decided to do another backup since last one was a couple days ago and I changed some z-wave devices since then.

Wow, this is a really nice improvement for users. I manage my home on 5.0.13, and 2 of my brother's homes on 5.0.10 and 5.0.12, and it was always a mess with the Admin Console launching. Now I can connect to all 3 with the same console. And it works!

@Michel Kohanim, do I need to do a FULL z-wave backup or NORMAL?

Alternative is to use the 3po Responder skill to create customize status responses. It is a lot of work to get set up, but it does allow significant customization. I can get the status of anything I want using any words I want. For example, "Alexa, Tell Me Pool Status" gives me pool pump speed, water temperature, salt parts per million, and solar panel status. But I had to do all the programming on the ISY to send the right information to the Responder Skill to make it work. There is a thread on this.

Same here. UDI helped me with a PLM issue a year or so ago. They sent out a beta product for me to try and that mostly solved the issue. UDI has the best customer support I have been exposed to. Very response to debugging problems and providing help with solutions.

Great find!!

Yes, I have an Echo in my theater room as well, and have had the same experience! I ended up putting Alexa on an insteon appliancelinc so that whenever I turn on the TV, it turns off her power so that she does not pop up in the middle of a movie with some weird remark!

I am using the BWS Systems Hue emulator to allow my echo to control my ISY devices. Everything is working great, but starting about a month ago, I can no longer say "Alexa, set thermostat to 75 degrees". She responds "thermostat doesn't support that". But if I say "Alexa, set thermostat to 75" does does it just fine. Anyone else that uses a Hue emulator notice this?

GREAT idea! I was just thinking about the need to keep updating each year and was not aware of this feature in 5.x. Thanks again...

The only reason I had 2 programs was that I would keep the 1st one always enabled, but only enable the second one (4-9pm) during summer peak rate season. While peak rates are used all year long here, it is only during the summer that the difference between peak and non-peak is significant. But yes, I did start with 2 programs just as you say. Thanks again for the advice!

But what if it has only 1/2 the life they say. I might have to replace this in only 45 years. Thanks for the sanity check!!!

Thanks!!!

I was going to use this feature to update the voltage setting of my AEON HEM v1 (Home Energy Monitor) for better accuracy. The v1 does not have the ability to measure voltage itself (just current using current clamps), but does have a parameter setting to set voltage so that its Wattage calculations are accurate. So I plan to read voltage from an Aeon Gen5 Smart Switch which does provide voltage readings and put that into the HEMv1 whenever the voltage changes by more than 1 V. So far, this seems to send updates to the HEMv1 about 20-30 times a day. My home voltage varies from a low of 119V to high of 125V. The issue is that I worry about all that writing to what I assume is flash memory on the HEMv1. Is there a concern this will destroy the memory after a while?

Thanks for the recommendation, PhanTomiZ! I will dig into this idea. But I have to say, I envy your rates!!! Here is California Bay Area, my peak rates are over 36 cents per kWhr! Your peak rates are well below my off-peak rates!

I am doing some programming to adjust power usage during peak periods since I am on an electricity program that charges more from 4pm to 9pm. I currently have this program to turn off and on my towel warmer in my master bedroom: Mbath Towel Timer - [ID 004F][Parent 0039] If From 11:30:00PM To 6:30:00AM (next day) Then Set 'Scenes-Inside / MBath Towel' Off Else Set 'Scenes-Inside / MBath Towel' On Is it OK for me to leave the above program active, and add the below program that is active only during summer months (the 4-9pm peak rates only apply during the summer)? Mbath Towel Timer Summer Peak - [ID 0003][Parent 0039] If From 4:00:00PM To 9:00:00PM (same day) Then Set 'Scenes-Inside / MBath Towel' Off Else Set 'Scenes-Inside / MBath Towel' On If both are running, will there be any issues? I am assuming the IF statements are only evaluated at their start/end times, and that they are not evaluated in between. For example, at 4pm, the second program will turn off the warmer. The first program will not turn it back on, because it will not be evaluated again until 6:30am the next day, right?

If you will post screen captures of the network resource setup, I can look over them. Many people have run into this and every time there is a small error in something they had in their network resource config.

In this case, do not put the variable in the network resource. Instead, create 2 network resources. One for unlocked and one for locked. Then run a program that triggers locked sentence network resource when variable is 1, and unlocked sentence network resource when variable is 0. I only use variables in the resource itself when the values make sense, such as temperatures.

Wow, I am impressed that anyone has gotten to the 302 device limit!!! You, sir, are a true power user! But I am curious, how did you determine that there is a 302 limit?

Great! And I will definitely try the raw text. I have the way the formatting gets changed when editing the line! EDIT: jndsoccer, you are right!!! The Raw Text mode does work much better. I changed the How To to reflect this and gave you credit for the find.

I see you still have ${var.2.17} in there. Do you have that variable defined? If not, delete that reference. But everything else looks right.

Does this show up in the pop-up box when doing the 'Test' of the resource? If so, please copy and paste your network resource info so I can view it. Screen capture would be fine. Also, double check you are using Mode:C-escaped and Select Content Type: application/json
