@K-bert thanks that for information, working for me too. @Michel Kohanim I wonder can this be built into Polisy code? I hope I don't have to write a Hail Query for every Z-Wave device. (maybe it's on the list ?)

@MWareman I had exactly the same thought. So I'm currently running Zooz and Insteon dongles on my Polisy and everything is working perfectly.

@jkosharek I'm curious to know what you are using now for home alarm?

I see the same unrecognized message but I haven't upgraded. I'm still on Zooz 7.15

I was actually wondering if I should do a factory reset of the Zooz from the Policy to fix my updating problem. I submitted a ticket to Zooz and they're stumped.

I see, my setup is Blue Iris to monitor motion and it sends triggers to my ISY which turns on an Insteon light switch then after 5 minutes or so it turns off. Of course you can turn on the lights as usual with the switch. Recordings are in full color thanks to the light. I wasn't clear if the motion switch was in the light like the type you can get at HomeDepot. If so should be fine.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do? What's the purpose of the relay? To have light when there's no motion?

Sensors I use operate at low voltage which could be used to power the low voltage side of a relay. The high voltage side of the relay would be used to power the light.

Those are the steps I followed, just to be clear on Step 8 you selected OTW and zwave controller then picked up the file? Also I didn’t do the Network/Add bit.

No

Thanks, my Tools panel is identical to yours. It’s only after using OTW and the error that the background is greyed out. When I click Ok on the error it goes back to normal.

I wish the process was more complicated then I would have something to blame, but really all it involves is clicking a button. I’ll try again tomorrow…

That was my first thought but SS reported my Zooz at 7.15 and I think the upgrade Nadler provided is 7.17. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe I'm wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, it would be interesting to see the release notes.

I posted on another thread that I tried the update but there was an error in the update file.

Thanks, I tried this out more for interest as my zooz dongle is working ok. I presume the controller version is 7.17? The instructions were slightly incorrect for me. Basically I did the install of the Simplicity sw and technology (used All) which also installs the drivers. I then selected the controller on the left then clicked the Tools icon on the right then scrolled down to Zwave Controller which launches the icon panel, then I selected OTW Firmware Update. I determined I was on v7.15 through the Simplicity sw and tried to update using OTW but got this error.

Hi @K-bert, I'm on Polisy and have a Leviton Plugin Dimmer and I just tested by turning it on. Status is not updating as well. This is what I see in the Event Viewer. The module is sending information to Polisy but status doesn't change. The odd thing is it was updating properly at one point but that was several updates ago.

seems the more I learn about z-wave devices the more I appreciate Insteon devices.

I see them as well. My Z-Wave repeater has three additional associated devices which is obviously is wrong. Others have suggested creating a Misc Folder and move the miscreants to it. Out of sight out of mind.

I have a Zlink plugin module that does not update status and a Leviton module that does. Buyer beware I guess.

It would be nice to have the drop down labelled as Z-Wave | Set-Query Configuration Parameter.

It would be interesting if you could post the event viewer communications for the Zlink module so I can compare.

I have a z-wave test scene and it works as expected - off and on work fine. I don't have a z-wave wall switch to use as a controller in a full z-wave scene but as you noted an Insteon switch in a scene with Z-wave responders work fine as well.

Last Update: Aeotec rather quickly responded to my ticket. For reference as follows: If you really want to break down Z-Wave byte communication then you can find out the meanings from the developers specifications of Z-Wave here: https://www.silabs.com/documents/login/miscellaneous/SDS13781-Z-Wave-Application-Command-Class-Specification.pdf More specifically Power Level is a protocol command class specification which can be found here: https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/miscellaneous/SDS13784-Z-Wave-Network-Protocol-Command-Class-Specification.pdf 0x73 = Command Class Power Level 0x06 = The command issued, 0x06 = POWER LEVEL TEST NODE REPORT FROM = the Node ID (Repeater 1 and 2 which are ZW026 and ZW028 which are the identifications of each device). We have the value 0101000A Breakdown: Test NodeID = 01 (controller) Status of Operation = 01 (Success) Test Frame Byte 1 = 00 Test Frame Byte 2 = 0A Or in other words: 10 Test frames were sent directly by each Repeater to the controller (Node ID 01) and they were successful. This indicates the communication to the Repeaters and controller have good communication without failure.

Update: I followed the Aeotec Repeater 7 instructions for checking power levels and they do send a cryptic messages to the Polisy - so they are alive. Apparently these messages are an indication of power level quality.
