Installation instructions?
Just finished installing the Zmatter board. When installing the antenna connectors on the Polisy case place the serrated washer on the inside and the split locknut on the outside under the nut. Once the nut is tightened down the antennas won't move. You might have to rotate the antenna connectors when inserting them into the Polisy lid, they definitely fit without doing any modifications to the lid Connecting the antenna leads to the Zmatter board once the board is installed is somewhat difficult, as the Zigbee lead barely makes it to the board. It's probably best to connect the antennas to the board before inserting the board. I started fresh and removed my Zwave devices and the Zooz dongle before the installation. After the installation I installed a few test Zwave devices without out issues. For now, you just get the basic Zwave options. Looking forward to future firmware updates with the enhanced Zwave features.

Practical limits of Z-wave network?
Actually, the Betamax format was superior to VHS. VHS won due to marketing and politics.

Practical limits of Z-wave network?
Each Z-wave controller can support 232 devices. The Insteon protocol is superior to Z-wave on many fronts. Here's a Q & A for Z-wave Z-Wave FAQs (clarecontrols.com) Advanced Z-Wave Concepts (clarecontrols.com)

3rd light flashing
The blinking 2nd or 3rd light indicates one of the following. I would suggest sending another email to support Signature failure Old BIOS

Zooz range?
Try doing a "Synchronize Nodes" from the admin console Synchronizing ensures that the ISY and the Z-Wave network have the same device information for a node.

The error message means that the PLM is unable to communicate with the device Verify that the address is 18.73.E2. The 8 can sometimes be confused with a B If the device address is correct, then try moving the lamplinc closer to the PLM

Can't install Admin Console on Windows 11

Zooz range?
The ISY 500 Zwave controller has an effective range of about 25 feet. Putting a repeater about 15 feet from the ISY should help. Being that the ISY Zwave antenna is inside the enclosure its range is somewhat diminished. You should mount the repeater as high up as possible and away from obstructions. You should also keep the ISY away from obstructions and other RF devices that could possibly interfere with the Zwave RF signal. Keep in mind that any Zwave 700 devices will communicate with the ISY as if they were 500 series devices.

Clear your Jave cache and applications again. If you have any anti-virus / firewall software and/or windows defender, try disabling it before you run START.JNLP

All your devices and programs will not be affected by the firmware change and will remain intact. Be sure to do a ISY backup and a Zwave backup before any firmware update as an insurance policy. Being that you're on the latest firmware version, the firmware update to the one that supports the PLM is just an academic exercise.

Try connecting it, you have nothing to lose. But the downside is if you have a PLM failure the ISY won't know about it. What's your current ISY firmware version, if it's an older version you should update it.

The difference in the firmware is that the firmware that's the Zwave only version doesn't look for a PLM and thus won't give you an error message when it can't find one. Be sure to make a an ISY backup before and after you add a PLM back to your system

Can only launch the AC from LAN and no longer from Cloud.
You can update packages by pressing the reset, on the front of the Polisy, button once. But first try removing power to see if that resolves the issue.

ISY944i stopped working after power failure
Assuming your SD card was inserted, then it sounds like an ISY failure. You should have had blinking leds with no network and PLM cables attached

Update your packages, then remove power from the ISY or Polisy. Power up, now is it there?

Remove power from the ISY, then disconnect the PLM and the network cables, then power up the ISY, what leds are lit and/or blinking?
