@Chris Jahn I just heard back from Aeotec. They may have the firmware in the OTZ format, they're currently looking for it. Is that workable?

@Chris Jahn I just sent a support ticket to Aeotec to see if they will furnish the raw firmware file for the Multisensor 6. What file format(s) do you need for OTA updates?

Hi Chris, Aeotec has the latest firmware, version 1.15, on their site for the Multisensor 6. The update files are available in two formats, RAR, and HEC. I've zipped both and attached them. Does your OTA support HEC? I noticed that their firmware update for the illumino dimmer switch is in the GBL format OTA of ZW100_MultiSensor 6_US_V1_15.zip MultiSensor 6_US_v_1.15.zip

@mikek The documentation is attached. The included sound effects may differ a little from what the documentation shows. Ecolink Zwave Chime.pdf

If you have Zwave, an alternative to the Insteon siren is the Ecolink 700 Ecolink 700 Series Z-Wave Siren/Notification Device - Ecolink (discoverecolink.com) You can record custom voice messages on an SD card in addition to using its prerecorded sounds. It works well with the ISY994, the Polisy and the EISY.

Both the 2457D2 and the 2635-222, both in stock at Insteon.com, will also work as range extenders.

The eisy supports the 2413U. I'm assuming that all your devices are Insteon. If you want Zwave or Zigbee support then you'll need the Zmatter module for the eisy. Unfortunately, you'll have to start from scratch. Doing a factory reset on the PLM, and all your devices, and then link them to the eisy. This is the only method for the link tables to be recognized by the eisy. Your programs and any scenes will have to be manually recreated in the eisy. You'll first need to install the admin console from this link: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp Prior to linking any devices you should do an "update packages", from the admin console, on the eisy which will bring it up to the current firmware version. The UDI Wiki contains a lot of useful information, take a look at this link: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page Once you're up and running you'll find the eisy to be an impressive controller. Someone is always available on this forum to help if you have any questions.

The only migrations options to an EISY are from either a Polisy or an ISY994 What's the model number of your PLM?

In the admin console, under the configuration tab, click on upgrade packages. Thet will update your eisy to 5.6.4 After the update, which may take a while, a window will pop up asking you to reboot, clear your java cache and load the Iox Launcer.

Reboot your computer, then clear the java cache and download the IoX Launcher (again) I think you had multiple versions of launcher programs running at the same time. You should only have the java Web Launcher running in the windows task manager. Web start launcher shouldn't be running.

Are you on a Windows or MAC, and what version? You might have to disable firewall software before installing IoX Launcher. The java you have installed is correct.

@ulrick65 Clear your java cache, including checking the box "installed applications, then download the IoX Launcher, from the link below, which will put a shortcut on your desktop. https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp You'll also need to update your ISY to 5.3.4 (assuming that you're not using the Zwave 300 card) prior to migrating to the eisy. Be sure to carefully read the ISY to EISY migration instructions before trying to migrate. Any time you update the ISY or EISY firmware you'll need to clear your java cache and reinstall the IoX Launcher You also need to update your eisy firmware prior to migration. This may take a while so be patient. Let me know if this resolves your issues.

Everything you need to know is in this document universal-devices.com/docs/production/The+ISY994+Home+Automation+Cookbook.pdf

1. bad bulb 2. Lose connection in the socket 3. The triac in the Insteon dimmer is on the way out 4. Voltage fluctuations in your light circuit

It should stay a solid green, even with Insteon traffic.. Could be a defective led or a problem with the PLM power supply. If everything is working, I would ignore it.

My bad, I totally overlooked it. I believe it has been used to fix node server issues. I'm not sure exactly what gets updated.

@Geddy The first time I clicked on Upgrade I didn't get a reboot notice, I clicked on Upgrade a second time and the reboot window popped up after a short while. All my Zwave devices are working normally after the 2nd upgrade.

This is my working Query all program for the eisy

Where do you see "install Dev Packages? "Upgrade packages" updates your firmware to the current version

Post a copy of the program.

@landolfi For the Multisensor 6, Aeotec states: Do not update V1.08 (or previous versions) to V1.09 or later, this will brick older MultiSensor 6 units. Currently, Aeotec states that you have to use the Zensys tool and Zstick to verify firmware version. This requires unlinking the device from the ISY and linking it to the Zstick. Not the most desirable option. It's possible that the Xray tool can show the firmware version under Command Class but I'm not sure where you would find it

@RRoyceus If you click on the device, and assuming that you're not using scenes, or programs to adjust the on level, you can set the on level and ramp rate. When a program turns on the light it will be to the level set in the device window. When the light is turned on, the "on" will change from "0" to the level set in the "on level"

Apparently the Aeotec Zwave devices are currently not supported by the OTA updates as the option menu is not there. Aeotec uses the RAR compression format for their firmware update files. Is there a timeframe when they will supported? I noticed a new option, power management, is that only for ADR? For those doing a firmware update, it's probably best to have your device on USB power rather than batteries, in order to prevent a timeout.

@MarcusD For the 4 tap test you can use the plugin lamplinc dimmer and the on/off modules, both which also function as access points. The plugin modules have their antenna's positioned in such a way that provides better RF coverage over a switch or device that's embedded inside a wall. Some of the older access points were prone to failure, and actually created noise on the powerline when they failed. Devices that have motors, i.e. garage door openers, fans, etc. could possibly create noise on the powerline. Most importantly, you want to make sure that your PLM is being seen on both legs of your powerline.

@Chris Jahn Could you expand on the OTA support in 5.6.4. i.e., what works and what doesn't. How does one use OTA, I couldn't find the option in any of the tabs. Update from 5.6.3 to 5.6.4 went smoothly.
