Migration from Insteon Hub to Polisy
I haven't had any experience with the 2448A7 but some members on the forum are using it. Yes, you would need to add a dual band device after you install the 2448A7. Ideally an Insteon plug in device would be ideal as its antenna is external and would provide the best coverage. If you don't have one then try to install your dual band device close to the Polisy to insure good RF communication.

Failing to add ZWave device: Zooz 4-in-1 Sensor ZSE40 700
The Zooz ZSE40 is compatible with the ISY. Excluding it before you Include it basically clears its memory as sometimes a device will contain data when the item was manufactured and tested.. If it's not updating then exclude it and start over.

Migration from Insteon Hub to Polisy
Here's some answers to your questions: The Polisy requires a PLM or the USB Controller if you intend to use Insteon devices. It supports the serial PLM, the USB PLM and the 2448A7 USB controller. All of these devices are currently out of stock. The Polisy firmware includes the ISY, the network module, and portal intergration. If you want to use Zwave with the Polisy you would need the Zooz Zwave 700 dongle which is available. There's an app for IOS and Alexa is supported via the UDI Portal account which requires a subscription. A 2 year subscription is included when you buy the Polisy. The Hub cannot be interfaced with the Polisy. If you're moving over from the Hub you would be starting a new installation. Your Insteon devices would need to be factory reset and then added to the Polisy. The hub cannot share Insteon devices with the Polisy, .Any programs you need would have to be created in the Polisy. Hope this answers most of your questions.

What does your ISY show for firmware and UI If you did everything correctly you shouldn't have to remove and re-add your Zwave devices.

Aeotec WallMote Quad (ZW130-A) & ISY994I
@KNicklow What version of the ISY Zwave dongle do you have? What's your current ISY firmware and UI? After you installed the WallMote do you see its nodes in your device tree? What exactly do you want the Wallmote to do? The Polisy is the upcoming replacement for the ISY994 however your current setup should work with the Wallmote.

Upgrading 4.x to 5.x zwave questions
To back up Zwave right click on Zwave in the admin console then click on backup. That will write your Zwave configuration to the SD card. Be sure to follow the firmware update instructions exactly You should update to the latest release, 5.3.4 Note: you must have the 500 series Zwave installed to use 5.3.4 as it's not compatible with the 300 series dongle.

Polisy Z-wave dongle not responding
Thanks Chris. Now I'm also unable to reproduce the problem. I wonder if one of the recent Polisy package updates corrected the problem.

Polisy Z-wave dongle not responding
For now that's normal as the Polisy isn't able to read the Zooz firmware. That's something that may be corrected in a later Polisy firmware release

Update Password SSH
I just installed Putty. When I try to input the password I'm having the same issue as I did with Windows SSH. I don't see the keyboard input and I get a password denied. I'm using a wireless bluetooth keyboard, I wonder if that could be an issue?

2413S PLM work around?
Your PLM may be on the edge of failure and thus unreliable. You can try right clicking on one of the devices with a RED ! and then do a restore device. If you have any battery operated devices be sure to disable automatic writes to battery devices before you try to do the restore to your hardwired devices.

Update Password SSH
When I'm at the "Password for admin@polisy" prompt it still won't accept any input from the keyboard. Do I need a port number. Seems it's using port 22

Zwave switch ON/OFF yields errors during Status/other checks
@cddave1252 The 500 series Z-wave board is not compatible with the ISY 4.9.0 firmware. You need to update to your ISY firmware and UI to 5.3.4 Be sure to read the firmware release notes before updating as the update requires some user intervention.

Polisy Z-wave dongle not responding
After running several tests I can confirm that Z-wave will not work on the Polisy if you don't have a PLM attached and the Insteon box is checked in which case I get the "Z-wave dongle not responding." message

Polisy Z-wave dongle not responding
The Z-wave dongle is now working. The log show that it stopped about 1/25, possibly after I did a Polisy package update. I unchecked Insteon (I don't and didn't have a PLM connected) and rebooted the Polisy which now shows Z-wave as active. It's possible that one of the Polisy updates didn't like Insteon being checked without a PLM attached and had an adverse effect on Z-wave.

Polisy Z-wave dongle not responding
@Michel Kohanim Yes, it's the Zooz 700 w/yellow cap. Polisy power supply is 1.5 amps Note: Z-wave was working until recently. UPDATE: I thought I would try a factory reset on the dongle but noticed that the only way to factory reset it is through the host software which I'm unable to access. Not sure if the dongle died or the issue is with the Polisy

Polisy Z-wave dongle not responding
I installed all the latest package updates and am now getting "Z-wave dongle not responding." I've tried rebooting, removing and inserting dongle, etc., but to no avail. Don't know if the dongle died or it's a firmware issue
