  1. 5.3.0 does not support the 300 series board. For now you're OK to stay with 5.0.16C If you decide to add some Zwave devices later on then it's best to upgrade to the 500 series board and the 5.3.0 ISY firmware. For more information read the release notes for the various versions.
  2. It's not unusual to end up with unexplained nodes. To clean up the device tree I created a folder and put all the unused nodes in it. I noticed that you have a pending write for ZW038, Right click on that node and then write updates.
  3. Here's the specs, maybe this is why they're unloading the current model. Insteon® Serial Interface Modem (Dual-Band) Model: 2234-223 Insteon Modem Features Expanded operation to 100-240VAC and 50/60Hz. Increased Insteon links storage from ~1000 to ~4,000 links with faster read/writes Uses the same communication protocol and structure to match earlier models Updated all processors with increased memory space and speed Beefed up electronics to reduce failures due to AC-mains electrical spikes, noise and heat from poorly ventilated install locations New and smaller enclosure that matches other Insteon plug-in products Increased powerline transmitting signaling levels and robustness New RF circuit with higher sensitivity components and calibrated antenna circuit Supplies 5VDC capable of powering single-board computers like ISY™ controllers Added fast TVS surge suppression on the Serial port to prevent static damage
  4. Good point. I found a 2413S PLM on Amazon, that's shipped from Smarthome. What's a bit unnerving is that it was the last one and the price had been reduced by about $20. Either they're coming out with an updated replacement or .......? Update I just took another look on Amazon and now they're not showing as unavailable, but the price is still reduced. https://www.amazon.com/Insteon-2413S-Serial-Interface-Dual-Band/dp/B002X8W4SI/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=2413s&qid=1602806019&sr=8-3
  5. Brian, what's the date in the database for the 2234-223 PLM? It's most likely for Europe. I noticed that the 2413S PLM is "sold out" on the Smarthome website I found a Bridge Controller and 3 versions of Wall Switches that are in the process of getting approval. Not sure what country they're being designed for.
  6. The new owner of Smarthome has been slowly thinning out the product line. If you see an item on sale it's probably on its way to being discontinued. They do have a a few new items in development but they might just be replacements for existing outlets and switches.
  7. The Zwave dongle does not support an external antenna, and has an effective range of about 25 feet depending on walls etc. To get the best coverage you should install a zwave repeater / extender such as this one within about 25 feet of your ISY. https://www.amazon.com/Aeotec-Range-Extender-Z-Wave-repeater/dp/B01M6CKJXC/ref=asc_df_B01M6CKJXC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167135357001&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4740950404248099910&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030974&hvtargid=pla-343932047164&psc=1
  8. Yes, 5.3.0 is the final official release. Read the release notes before you update.
  9. The 300 series zwave dongle is not compatible with ISY 5.3.0 firmware. . You'll need to purchase and install the 500 series dongle You can buy it here: https://www.universal-devices.com/product/z-wave-module/
  10. What's your ISY firmware and UI version? Do you have the 300 or the 500 series Zwave board in your ISY?
  11. Unlikely you were compromised. Try rebooting the ISY. It appears that the ISY reverted to the default email configuration rather than your own email server. If the reboot doesn't help then remove power from the ISY and then remove and reseat the SD card.
  12. thank you
  13. I don't yet have a portal account. When I try to log into the temporary portal option using my admin console credentials It's rejected.
  14. Never received the notice. Is there a replacement other than the node server?
  15. When I log into the admin console I get the following message. Has the climate module been discontinued or is a bug that's related to the earlier firmware version 4.8.0 I've been running 5.0.16C for quite a while.
  16. It's probably best to use two programs Program 1 If light is off and door is opened and time is xxx then turn light on -------------------------------- Program 2 If light if on and door is opened then turn light off
  17. I noticed that after setting the backlight for a device and then exiting the admin console, the backlight setting reverts to 0/0 next time I open the admin console even though the updated setting is saved in the device. Will this be corrected in a future release?
  18. Did you put the sensor into the linking mode before you tried to update it? What version of the ISY firmware and UI are you running?
  19. You should have the motor control nodes in 5.0.16C. Try doing Zwave network heal. If that doesn't work then you may have to remove and reinstall the ZRTSI
  20. I'm using Somfy with ZRTSI and the only option you need to use is the Motor Control node. The mulstilevel switch node does correctly display in 5.0.16C. However I'm having issues with the Aeotec Smart Switch 6. The ISY sometimes incorrectly displays its status, and a device query doesn't seem to correct the displayed status. I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this problem.
  21. Disable your firewall and then try the update. Let me know if that works.
  22. The 6 button and 8 button keypads are basically one of the same. Their firmware can be reconfigured for a 6 to appear as an 8 and visa versa. Smarthome has, or had, button kits available to change one for the other. If you had first reconfigured the keypad to a 6 button then done a "replace with" it would have been a seamless replacement.
  23. When you do a "replace with" it must be like for like. You'll probably have to uninstall it then reinstall it as a new 8 button keypad.
  24. It's possible that the device's memory got corrupted. Do a factory reset on the device then a restore device.
  25. Was you "A" button in your scene added as a controller? If not then remove it from the scene and then re-add as a controller
