@Michel Kohanim or anyone else... I had to recreate my Query All program for Polisy and it seems to work well for the Insteon and initially for my Z-Wave plugin switch modules. I get the usual exclamation mark when I unplug them. I use "initially" because the exclamation mark seems to appear/disappear intermittently on successive Query Alls. The Query All Program with an unplugged Aeotec Repeater does not seem to generate any warning at all when unplugged. When I check the Event Viewer a Query All program command does not query either of two Aeotec Repeaters I have. When I Query a Repeater device directly, I see the Z-Wave Controller sending the Query to the Repeater but no follow up messages are received. Is this expected behaviour? Thanks!

Interesting, I had a Zooz T&H sensor that worked perfectly except it reported temperature in F which complicates things here in Canada. Anyway I see a different string of messages for Tx when I query my switch. Are you on the latest firmware? It would be nice to have a guide to help decipher these cryptic messages.

@giomania I run several Python scripts (Alarm system, UPS monitor, etc) on a separate server and those scripts remotely set variables on the ISY. I have ISY Programs watching and reporting on those variables. I haven't explored using Polyglot for these scripts but I do use PG for weather reporting.

Odd, my test z-wave scene worked fine and my mixed Z-wave and Insteon also worked fine. Maybe you have interference or something that's causing a problem.
-
@oberkc It's hard to beat Insteon for sure.
-
@oberkc Fyi I'm testing Polisy and I see the same thing on my Zwave scene with only Zwave devices.. Do you also see Action as "default" too? The Scene seems to work fine.

The magic words If Then Else are your clue it should be a Program.

You're confirming what I'm seeing as well. My GE switch (240V 40 amp) is rock solid and zero lag. Leviton plugin dimmer module is good (no drops) but I see a 2 or 3 second lag when turning on/off from the Polisy. Zlink plugin dimmer module is ok (no drops) but I see a 2 or 3 second lag when turning on/off from the Polisy. No status update from the module to the controller.
-
@larryllix do you see any lag on the SiLab controller when used to turn on/off switches? I've tested Polisy with a Leviton and Zlink plugin switches paired with a Zooz dongle so far and lag is about 2 to 3 sec. The switches are in the same room and there are no hops. I'm comparing to an Insteon PLM/switch which is pretty much instantaneous. I'm wondering if this is just a z-wave thing I have to live with? Thanks.

Testing Z-Wave Dimmer on Polisy - Why slower than Insteon?
mmb replied to mmb's topic in Z-Wave - Series 700
Update: I tested on my ISY994 with a Z-Wave module and behaviour is identical to the Policy. -
Are you using wifi? My Launcher works when on Ethernet but when I switch to WiFi the Launcher goes blank but I can SSH and use the Polisy webapp. I also manually typed the information as well but get Not Found. It must be the latest update because it was working before.

@Michel Kohanim I have a ZLINK Plug-in Dimmer ZL-PD-100 that doesn't update the Ploisy controller at all on a manual button press. My Leviton plugin module is working fine in both directions (although a little laggy). I contacted the reseller and his testing indicated it was updating but on another type of controller. The module works fine when controlling from the Polisy to the module. He suggested I contact UDI for support. Is there further refinement to z-wave that may get this thing running or should I return it?

@brians let me know how the ZL-PD-100 dimmer tests for you. I still don't receive controller status updates on a manual button press. Unlike the Leviton which updates properly. Both have a still lag of about 3 seconds. -
Really @tazman? Not for me, I tried a manual update and nope. Update: Cleared the cache once again and it worked. All good, but not sure about the button.
-
@Techman I had the same error when I selected LAN in the Launcher. I'm not sure if you have a Cloud option but the Launcher worked fine with that option.
-
@Michel Kohanim just a data point I had the same mismatch error when selecting LAN in the Launcher. However, selecting Cloud in the Launcher and the Admin console launches properly.

@mjrush @lilyoyo1I had a Zooz 4-in-1 multisensor which was really nice but I couldn't make it stay on Celsius, it would keep flipping back the F - so I returned it. The reseller blamed the controller. Anyway, it had a motion sensor and it seemed to work flawlessly on Polisy. I had it trigger a scene to turn Insteon and Z-Wave plugin modules. Status was updating properly. It's interesting how some devices don't seem to work completely with Polisy. Maybe future code updates will address. And I'll try a Aeotec multisensor sometime in the future. -

Thanks @brians, is the monitoring program look for Hail or something? I'll try it out if you have details. Yes an updated Polisy can use a Zooz USB Z-Wave dongle but I understand another dongle works as well but forgot the name. I use it in conjunction with a USB Insteon PLM. I understand the serial PLM will work too. -

@RB3 I have a ISY994 Z-Wave module that I've never installed. What is confusing is not understanding what I see in Polisy with Z-Wave as being normal or not. Based on comments, maybe I should install the module so I can compare behavior. -

@brians yes ISY with Z-Wave on Polisy. It works fine but a few annoying glitches still to be ironed out. I gather you are using an ISY994 for Z-Wave, so maybe the Polisy delays I'm seeing are issues in the beta code. A manual press of the Leviton module gives this: Thu 12/30/2021 09:24:38 AM : [ZWAVE-RX ] [010B00A800011602820100B278] REQ APPLICATION_COMMAND_HANDLER_BRIDGE Thu 12/30/2021 09:24:48 AM : [ Time] 09:24:48 2(0) But the Polisy doesn't do anything with it. The Zlink module doesn't seem to send anything - the Seller is checking for firmware updates because he says another module/controller he has is sending commands. 'What's involved in a Hail Program? -

Here you go. Event Viewer Log Level 3 for Turning Off then On a scene with both an Insteon and Z-Wave Dimmer Plug-in Modules. Network connectivity to Polisy is over Wifi.

When I press the on/off button on the module I don't see any updates in the controller. Nothing in the event viewer either. The reseller tested for me on his Vera system and he says the controller updates properly. Update 2: I received my Leviton DZPD3-2BW Z-Wave plugin dimmer and a quick test shows a slight lag of about 1 sec on a on/off from from the Polisy controller. A manual on/off updates the controller properly. So something is wrong with the Zlink. -
Testing Z-Wave Dimmer on Polisy - Why slower than Insteon?
mmb posted a topic in Z-Wave - Series 700
I'm testing a z-wave plug-in dimmer with Polisy using the Zooz dongle and I'm seeing a 2 or 3 second delay when turning on/off compared to a similar Insteon plug-in dimmer. The dimmer is working perfectly aside from the slight slowness. It is a ZLINK Plug-in Dimmer ZL-PD-100 and sits about 15 ft from the Polisy. Is slowness an inherent characteristic of z-wave? There is lots of online discussion about slowness and it can be attributed to just about everything under the sun. I can live with it, just curious.
