Z-Wave Window Shade integration
I use the Somfy shades with the Zwave Somfy interface, It works flawlessly with the ISY. Somfy has both hardwired and rechargeable battery options

Do I NEED to upgrade ISY994 for IoP migration?
Your migration shouldn't be an issue. Make sure you have an ISY backup before you migrate. You can always add Zwave to the Polisy later, it's just a matter of buying the Zooz 700 Zwave dongle and plugging it into the USB port

Do I NEED to upgrade ISY994 for IoP migration?
The Polisy requires that you have a PLM if you're using Insteon. There is currently no migration option for Z-wave, so you would have to start from scratch. You should first update your ISY firmware to 5.016C. Read the update notes as you'll most likely have to rebuild some programs and scenes. Your current Z-wave system is irrelevant as you'll need a Zooz 700 series dongle for your Polisy Once you've got a stable ISY then you can migrate to the Polisy. The link below should provide answers to any questions you may have. https://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/164-polisy/

Upgrade Polisy 5.4.2 using older ISY save from 5.0.16b
The Z-wave migration option from the ISY to Polisy is not yet available, so you'll have to manually build your Z-wave network from scratch on the Polisy.

Upgraded ISY994i to latest official release (5.3.4) and can't authenticate
After the update did you clear your java cache and its applications, and then download the ISY Launcher?

Some programs randomly not running on IoP that I had for years on ISY 994i?
Increasing the hold time should correct the program not running.

You're correct. Are you using Momentary or Latching in your I/O Linc to trigger your program? If you're using momentary then the Momentary hold time may be too short to trigger the program. Another possibility is that the wires going into the I/O Linc are not making a good contact, try tightening the screws.

Being that the processor and memory in the Polisy is much faster than the ISY, try increasing your wait times and/or adding waits to see if that makes a difference.

Take a look at this thread Don't use auto discover when you link it. Try putting in its address.

Migration to ISY on Polisy: An attempt to collect, organize and share Simplified Directions.
Yes, but being that's it's RF only you should have a dual band device close by to insure that the signal gets onto the powerline. I don't think you can do a ISY migration to the 24487A which means that you will have to build you system from scratch so I would focus on trying to clear up the PLM issue first.

Migration to ISY on Polisy: An attempt to collect, organize and share Simplified Directions.
Your link count is too low for the number of devices, especially if you have keypads with numerous nodes. It's possible that your restore file had issues. Did you do an ISY backup before you migrated over to the Polisy Try removing power from the PLM and Polisy, then power up the PLM wait about 30 seconds then power up the Polisy.

Your PLM link count sounds low. How many devices do you have? A low link count could mean a failing PLM or the restore / restore file has issues. Run the link count again as it can vary depending on the Polisys activity. You can also try running a diagnostic | compare link count between a device and the Polisy to see if there's a link mismatch.

Does anybody know what circuitry is in this thing?
Aeotec sells one: Bypass to stop low-power lighting from flickering (aeotec.com) All their tech specs are posted along with the product description

Zwave Device configuration
Chris, I just heard back from Aeotec, apparently, it's a misprint in their manual. They only support 1,2, or 4. However, when I query parameter number 41 which has a parameter size of 4 I get a value of 1311232 when it should be a default value of 20. I guess it's a bug in their firmware.
-
Zwave Device configuration
Hi Chris, Aeotec uses a parameter byte of 3 in about 3 of its configurations. I noticed that both the ISY with firmware 5.3.4 and Polisy are missing this value. I also noticed that you have an option 1,2, or 4 bytes (unsigned), when would that come into play? Thanks for following up.

Bad?
It appears to be a firmware bug. What hardware are you running? What's your firmware and UI version

Zwave Device configuration
@Michel Kohanim The Polisy only allows for a parameter size of 1, 2 or 4. I need a parameter size of 3 for the Aeotec Multisensor 6

Time Data Sunrise Sunset Times
There's a bug in the program. It shows custom location and I'm unable to change it. Rebooting doesn't correct it. Sunrise and sunset are still off by 1 hour, but time is correct. I have all the latest package updates for the Polisy.
-
Time Data Sunrise Sunset Times
It appears that the Polisy Sunrise and Sunset parameters didn't adjust for daylight savings time

Zwave range
The Zwave dongle in the ISY has an effective range of about 20 feet. You'll need either a repeater or additional Zwave devices, which will repeat the RF signal, in order to have an effective Zwave mesh network. Insteon is no different, it is also a mesh network which requires devices to repeat its signal Zwave is a RF only protocol and cannot be converted to Insteon. A good Zwave repeater such as the Aeotec repeater will repeat and amplify the Zwave signal and would probably solve your problem

No inventory
At this point in time no one really knows. We've gotten mixed messages from Smarthome as to the future status of their inventory

Compatible Motion Sensors
The $80 price is from a 3rd party reseller, Aeotec usually sells them on Amazon for about $62

Compatible Motion Sensors
The Aeotec Zwave Multisensor 6 works flawlessly with the ISY and has great tech support from Aeotec. They are scheduled to release the Multisensor 7 but are delayed due to parts shortages. Their link is below. MultiSensor 6 Z-Wave motion, light, temperature sensor (aeotec.com)
