Thanks @Techman - turned out to be distance from the hub! I was thinking that another zwave device could do the inclusion, but I guess not. So I end up running long ethernet cables across the house temporarily - Not sure what type of repeater also allows for new devices to be added...

I am trying to temporarily user an older ISY994 and have issues getting the Zooz Zen71 switches to join my Z- Wave network.. I was able to get an older Aotech binary switch online, but these do not seem to be visible within discovery even when the other switch is close - ideas? For association, the directions indicate 3x the top paddle. I also tried excluding, etc. no dice. The ISY994 just does not see it. I have the Z-wave board (500 series - I believe) - without the antenna. Thank you! Steve

Onto the next issue - after doing the factory reset - and trying to do the upgrade, or save programs I get a "tcp client DNS error" [my.isy.io] -- With the upgrade, I get a "Upgrade failed: failed uploading file (reported written size is invalid)... Java.io broken pipe. Previously it had been on the portal, and since expired, but i deleted and rebooted in case that was the issue. Related error: ? "Could not open config file to read /CONF/HZWNDKEY.TXT", Could not open file "/CONF/PORTALS.PSF" stuck! thanks, Steve

great- thank you I will try that.

Hi - brought the old unit out of retirement - and after the factory reset was able to get into the box. However, I will not be using Insteon, only Z-Wave but the unit is booting to safe mode. In my policy, I see the option to disable Insteon under system but not under 5.3.4 which is the last firmware? Anyone else have success? Thank you-Steve

..and the other issue is the keypads and other accessories. Old tech that works is more expensive than the new stuff. Good luck.

I think it’s online only programming from what I found out- not for me ..

Thanks @apostolakisl, I have been doing further research and it’s really not looking good. The work-around that eyez-on has is very limited it seems. I have been emailing them also. A >$200 risk and maybe it will do arm and disarm and zone status with more parallel modules. But no details like exit delay/partition status. It’s unfortunate, as the DSC Neo looks to be a decent system and wireless “PowerG” as well- but without the management and integration - it’s backwards as you say. Steve

yes- I have been looking into it. Looks like I am going to test :). Don't have a choice - need to keep the integration with my home setup.. and the older 433 MHz stuff is hard to find for the DSC 1832... Wish me luck. I will report back.

Hi - I am looking to upgrade from my DSC 832 to the DSC Neo, and was wondering if anyone has the EYEZ-ON board setup in Universal mode with this plug-in? I trigger routines for arm/disarm mostly. Not sure I will get that status without full bus integration. thank you, Steve

Z-Matter board within Policy also not responding!! Ugh. UPDATE: Since I was basically hard down, I followed @DennisC , @Geddy recommendation, and upgraded to PG3x. The issues w/ZMatter board and other failures were resolved with the upgrade. I was then able to migrate my PG2 and PG3 nodeservers to PG3x flawlessly by installing in the same slots! Amazing. I am relieved. Nice programming work. Up and running - phew.

I am kind of hesitant if it deletes something in the PG2 configuration that i will need. I see that article, and read through it - should be a non-issue, but then again, so was this upgrade supposed to be something quick!! LOL.

It was working fine w/ v5.8.0, PG2 and PG3 - FYI. I wish there was a warning - I know it was in the forum, but messaging in the upgrade. Will do - thank you!

yes- I have not upgraded to PG3x as I have a PG2 node server that i am still using. I guess I may be stuck now as I cannot even get to the PG2 or PG3 interfaces. More problems... Node server is blank. I will open a ticket, and revert. thanks all-Steve

Hi folks, I am having the same issue- read through, and did not see a solution. I am running polisy. thank you- Steve
