    Zwave/Matter

    Pairing with z-wave seems better when the devices are close. My z-wave devices are all over my 2000 sqft home and never had a problem. I have Zmatter dongle and used to have a Zooz 700 dongle.

    UDI EISY Update 2025

    I'm using Unifi as well. The Unifi Protect doorbell and cams trigger the eisy/insteon lighting nicely using their webhooks.

    UDI EISY Update 2025

    Not sure why Michel didn't post this update on the Forum. Lots of good news. https://www.universal-devices.com/2025-liftoff/
  4. I use a z-wave relay and an ESP DHT thermometer sensor with mqtt. The DHT updates very quickly. I have an Aeotec Multisensor but found updates to be way too slow to be useful. I have 4 DHTs around the house. The combo regulates humidity perfectly and with forecast temperatures ensures very minimal frosting on the windows during the winter. I built it a few years ago and, at the time, finding a good z-wave/zigbee thermostat that worked with eisy/polisy was a pain. So went with esp which made the build more complicated but very reliable. Let me know if you find a a good z-wave/zigbee thermostat.
  5. 1. So you see the switch in the console but not UD Mobile? Did you sync UD Mobile?
  6. My son uses HA for his Aqara door locks, Ikea temp sensors and Zigbee smart plugs. One Zigbee smart plug is used in an automation to control a 240V contactor which turns on/off a garage heater based on info from the Ikea temp sensors. He also uses a cheap android tablet for a really nice dashboard. I use HA with an Insteon modem at our AZ condo. I run Tailscale the HA for remote access. Finally I use a Polisy/HA combo at our main house. HA has come a long way and solves lots of smart device integration problems.
  7. I'm using Home Assistant for a lot of this missing functionality. More and more it's my goto platform.
  8. It's hard to ignore them when there's hundreds of them. There should be log levels so users have control of what they want to see.
  9. I randomly got this update message in the last few days. Judging by the date it seems oddly old. I don't follow updates closely and there doesn't seem to be any discussion in the forum about it. UDX HW/Admin Service for Universal Devices eisy/Polisy Release notes for 3.5.8 - 07/23/2024 - Fixed upgrade failure bug - Fixed tpm and sleep issues - Fixed warning for upgrade to 14.x I presume it is safe to update? Thanks! Update: Running fine. Why can't UDI post UDX updates along with their IOX in the website section Software Releases & Updates? Isn't it equally or more important?
  10. A few thoughts. For the most part my Polisy (EISY) handles mostly Insteon lighting as I find their switches are still the best by far. My HA instance has been generally handling more automation tasks over time, mostly DHT ESP boards and Zigbee temperature sensors. I run a separate Zigbee controller on HA. HA also pulls data from the Polisy for a very useful and dynamic dashboard. It's too bad Polisy can't do more in this area.
  11. Just a USB Zooz Z-Wave stick off Amazon
  12. eisy. My brother had no devices to start. He chose to start fresh with the zooz.
  13. Not sure this helps but my brother is currently running this firmware download from Zooz. Zooz_ZST10-700_SDK_7.18.3_US
  14. Same, routines are sporadic at best. We haven't changed anything in months. Maybe it has something to do with the impending rollout of their new Alexa (Claude) AI.
  15. Did you select ZMatter migration at one point? My brother did and was having the same problem with his Zooz dongle. A ticket was required and a remote access visit by Chris to repair.
