I am trying to figure out how I can use my existing scenes, which gradually dim the lights in the house as it gets later in the evening, to set all the devices in the scene to their set levels instantly. When I am not home, most of the lights stay off (based on state variables tied to motion detectors). If I come home at night, I would like the house lights to come on at their appropriate levels straight away. The inefficient way to do this, would be to have two scenes for each set of light levels. One would decrease the light level gradually, the other instantly. I've tried using "fast on", but that just sets all the lights to 100%. Each scene has around 20 devices. Am I missing something obvious?

I'm trying to get away from having multiple boxes control things. I currently use the Hue hub for all my basement lights, but it's not very flexible. The rest of the house is controlled by the eisy and Insteon. I'm using incandescent bulbs with the Insteon devices and I'm trying to migrate to LED bulbs for the power saving.

This worked. Thank you!

I have been trying to add a Hue bulb to my eisy. I followed the directions found here https://www.universal-devices.com/nohub-hue/, but the bulb is not added. I am running 5.8.3 on the eisy and my UD Mobile app is version 1.1.61. When I try to add the bulb, which is powered on, using the app, I see a dialog box appear in the eisy console (see attachment) but that's as far as I get. I cycled power to the bulb and tried again (several times) with the same result. The bulb is right next to the eisy. I do have the dongle attached and can control Z-wave devices without any issues. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this question has been already asked and answered, but I can't find it anywhere. What can you do with all the extra "devices" that are added with a Z-wave device? I know some of them contain extra information about sensors, etc, but what about the the Scene Responders and Assoc Only devices? Thanks!

Is it possible to batch add devices to a scene and then write all the links? This would save a lot of time if possible. Thanks!

I want to change some of the controllers in my scenes to responders (mostly KPL buttons) so I can better control their actions with programs. Is there a way to change them in the scene or do I have to delete them and re-add them as a responder? Thanks!

Thank you! That did the trick.

I was able to upgrade the eisy to 5.5.2, but it only did the firmware and not the admin console. I can access the admin console if I use the cloud option to launch the eisy. I can't figure out how to update the admin console so I can launch it from the eisy. When I launch the console from the cloud, I do see the migrate to ZMatter-Z-Wave button, but my Z-Wave dongle is not responding. I see that other people are having similar issues, so I guess I'll have to wait until UD sort this out. Thank you!

The ZMatter dongle is plugged into the eisy. I think part of the problem might be that the ZMatter board isn't being recognised by the eisy. The 994i firmware and UI versions are 5.3.3 and the eisy versions are 5.4.5. I don't see a migration button option in the configuration tab. I'm attaching some screenshots that may, or may not, be helpful.

I have successfully migrated all my Insteon devices to the eisy from my old isy994i, but I don't see any of my Z-Wave devices. I purchased the Z-Wave PLUS module in July 2021 from UD, so I am assuming it is a 994/500 Series board. I followed the instructions in the wiki - I backed up my Z-Wave dongle, then backed up the isy. I plugged the PLM into the eisy and restored the eisy. I then checked the Z-Wave support box in the configuration menu, saved and then rebooted. I have the Z-Wave menu now in the eisy. I don't have any values for library or Z-Wave version when I look at the Z-Wave Version menu option. On the 994, I was seeing Static Controller for the library and 6.82.01 for the Z-Wave Version. Before I start messing around with other Z-Wave menu options and potentially screwing things up, is there something else I am supposed to do? Thanks!

Thank you! That did the trick!

I tried uninstalling then reinstalling the Hue NS, but still get the same results. At this point, I'm not sure if it is the eisy that is not working or the Hue NS.

I'm not sure if this question belongs here, or on the PG3 forum - admin, please move if appropriate. I just got my eisy and while I am waiting for the ZWave/Matter dongle to arrive, I thought I would see if I could get it to control my Hue lights. I Successfully installed the Hue NS from the store. I followed the instructions I found on the forums... which I can't seem to find again. I pressed the sync button on the Hue bridge and then restarted the Hue NS. Nothing discernable happened and and I am seeing Current Status: Disconnected in the Hue NS screen. I created a custom configuration parameter with the name "bridge", without the quotes and entered the IP address of the bridge using the following format ["ip-address"] and tried again with the same result. I've rebooted the Hue bridge and made sure I could connect to it through my browser and everything seems to working on that end. Any ideas? This is my first foray into node servers, so please bear with me if I am missing something obvious.

I've got 5 TRANE 14942771 Thermostats (in addition to 2 Insteon thermostats). I found them very easy to install, once I figured out that they need to be very close to the ISY for the Z-wave device to set them up initially. They have been reliable and work well with the ISY.
