PLM cable to Polisy
It works right out of the box, no need to modify the cable. One end goes to the 9 pin serial jack on the Polisy, the other end plugs into the PLM. To verify that it's working click on TOOLS | DIAGNOSTICS | PLM STATUS

PLM cable to Polisy
The box with the PLM includes the serial cable. It's tucked away in the packing material. Most people overlook it as did I. Let me know if you found it.

Upgrading 4.x to 5.x zwave questions
@SirParadox For those Zwave devices that aren't working you should click on "Remove a Zwave Device" in the Zwave menu, then click on their set button. Don't use the delete option. You can then click on Add a Zwave device to re-install them. Make sure all your repeaters are installed and working before you add the Multisensors

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

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.

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.

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.
