How did you make the labels on the switch plate?

Thanks for that. I did the first attempts on a test bench but had to install it in a 3-way to see if it would work. I didn’t consider setting up the 3 way on the bench. Was trying to use a momentary switch for the second switch, which requires a parameter change. it seems to work with a regular switch, however, so I may keep this and buy a color-matched standard switch. Annoyed enough I may reserve the zwave only for side rooms and go back to Insteon for the main areas.

One switch and one long range extender. I have about 10 more in a box but I am not going to add any more if the one doesn’t work as advertised. Considering returning them all and paying a bit more for Insteon. Was planning to ditch the Insteon after the bankruptcy/relaunch, but this isn’t better. Guessing you are leaning toward needing a bigger mesh before things will work? I also learned in the troubleshooting that the zoos switches are not usable with halogen lights, which adds a considerable cost in changing bulbs/fixtures.

I've tried every which way, including programming, but nothing seems to write to the parameter on the switch. I opened a support ticket with Zooz.

I guess that is the problem. I have set it your way several times but nothing ever seems to change. if I look for that parameter it always says it is still zero.

Thanks dbwarner5, mmb and Guy, that resolved the UD Mobile synch. No luck on the parameters, however. Any way I try it makes no difference, before or after an update with interview. There are multiple UI features that seem to indicate they are changing parameters but they don't seem to change anything.

I transitioned to EISY this summer when the 994i went end of support and am now trying to add in a fresh install of Z-Wave. I had Z-Wave locks set up on the 994i previously but abandoned them when I moved, so I didn't carry anything over in the upgrade. I have managed to get the Zmatter USB module recognized, added a range extender and a switch through the LAN Console. The switch responds to On/Off requests from console, and the console sees remote clicks on the switch, so comms is good. Problems: After installing it in the console, UD Mobile does not see the switch. Am I supposed to use my phone to add devices instead of the console? I can't figure out how to change parameters. Its a Zooz ZEN71 - instructions from Zooz say to set parameter 21 to value of 1 to make it accept a momentary switch on the traveller in an S2 configuration. I try in the console to set that parameter and either write changes or set configuration, but all that happens is a little highlight circle around the last button that is clicked, no comms seems to be sent. can't see it in UD Mobile to try there. how do i set a parameter? need to use the multi-click setting procedure on device itself? I can't find any good general instructions for a new zwave install. it took me forever to figure out how to add the first device. Plenty of talk of moving a setup through an upgrade, but nothing on how to configure new zwave stuff in the EISY. Anyone have a link to such instructions?

adding the port worked. I had found a reference to using this format without the port 8443: https://192.168.0.145/desc and that was failing. connected right away with the port included. THANKS!

Tried the clear cache with all three checked, ran start.jnlp again. Was using that same version as linked on the wiki that you are sent to from portal. No change. it can't find the eisy. definitely same network since i can get into the polyglot console.

I didn't have too much trouble with the upgrade once I got the admin console sorted on my PC, but the PC died (hard drive failure) and i have not been able to get my laptop to connect. I have a fresh install of standard java and the launcher will open, but it does not find the EISY. trying to add by IP also fails. I tried adding the new java web start to the firewall and that did not help. tried disabling firewall and virus scan altogether (both windows defender) and that didn't work either. I can see the eISY through the portal and I can go to port 3000 directly through a browser, but logging into portal or polyglot doesn't help me. I need to change the time on the EISY. all my nighttime lighting routines are off by a few hours. machine is windows 11 if it matters. thoughts?

Is it still possible to find a 500 series zwave card for a 994i? I have not upgraded or even touched my system in ages and was caught off guard by the end of support. It has always just worked...

I have bought Hyperikon, too. Probably have 4 different variants. I have an odd behavior in that both sizes of floods used from Hyperikon react to the microwave being on. I have not fugured out if it is power draw or some sort of noise being fed back into the circuits. Neither lighting circuit is particularly close to the microwave and no bulbs of other brands have a reaction. One set is on an Insteon dimmer and the other on a non-smart Lutron, similar to the configurations of the GE bulbs I mentioned above, but here the only common denominator is the bulb brand. I have bought some of the big in-line x10 filters to try to isolate the microwave, but it will be easier to just change bulbs. I keep trying different brands and keep getting disappointed. I have two different variants of AmazonBasics MR16 bulbs that came in recently, and neither of those are great. The "commercial" version is actually awful.

Is there documentation for AVRemote somewhere? I found the old RESTRemote repository on GitHub... Is that it? Looking to implement JVC control and it may fit into your framework.

I have been experimenting with bulbs as well. I tried GE Relax bulbs, ordered in 8 pack from Amazon. They did not dim nearly as low as cheap Costco FEIT bulbs, so they are not useful to me with Insteon. The FEITs go well under 10% and the GEs stop at 20-30%. In a room with a Lutron non-smart dimmer they worked fine, dimmed down very low. Is there a Zwave dimmer that is not the same Triac design as Insteon? I saw Homeseer branded dimmers on Amazon that I had not noticed before. Anyone tried them with LEDs? I have a ton of spare Insteons from the annual sales, but I may try something else for a few rooms. What bulbs ARE you all having success with for your Insteon switches?

It works out to 9% change per dim/brighten call to a scene through the UDI portal. I'm not sure if that triple pulse also works with mobilinc - it may just be 3% each.
