Most likely it's getting confused with the name which throws things off. Try naming it something outside of anything you're using to see if that works. As long as devices are setup properly in the ISY and portal, most issues will come down to the name. If something isn't working properly, I would ensure its the actual device (and not a scene) and try calling it something outside of what you're currently using

The RF range hasn't been an issue for me. But then again, I tend to shy away from putting things too far from systems I install (I only do new construction full remodels). I only use xantach emitters and have never had an issue with those....even with long runs. They are slightly more expensive than others but worth the cost. The hardwired ethernet connection is definitely worth it to me. It's also why I use the ring elite doorbell. While wifi is getting better, too many devices are being added to homes now to trust it from an integration standpoint. I wish harmony would add ethernet to the regular hub.

The pro is actually pretty good for an Integrator who needs something lower cost than other solutions such as RTI ,C4, and URC (their top remotes). C4 and RTI are great for media or theater rooms but they are highly restrictive at their price point for secondary rooms such as bedrooms. For an Integrator, you don't have to worry about the coustomer messing around and trying to add something and completely screwing up the remote. You can also remotely make changes which saves on time since it cuts down on travel. Also, you can use your own emitters for it directly which means less parts to go bad. For an end user, I agree with you that it's overkill as the elite does the exact same thing for half the price. You can even do what the pro does (in regards to IR) simply by adding a 10.00 adapter and your own ir emitter kit. The problem with buying a pro as a consumer is that harmony still requires an account if you want to program it. A person can sell it but without an account, it's worthless to the end user. Even if you find a dealer willing to cut you a deal, most likely, they wouldnt give away their account information for you to program it.

My thought was if you received an email with the ISY address in it and someone got the email, you just given them the information to your system. While it may not mean anything to the avg person, someone with knowledge could get enough information to potentially get inside. Same reason most people on her will cross out their up addresses when they post on here

Zwave creates a secure key between the board and device which is why you need to back the board up separately. It's akin to having a sd card in your phone. You would need to back both up separately. Every zwave mfg. has their own way to add/remove devices. You'll need to find the manuals to see what your devices require. Make sure you exclude them before trying to add them.

There's alot you can do. The only limitation is your imagination

They're usb powered

I haven't. Try factory resetting the devices and restoring them in the ISY

It's enabled. Pertinent information such as your make/model of phone, android version, Isy setup, firmware and UI will help with troubleshooting and bug fixes
-
On and fast on are just part of the drop down menu. Has nothing to do with the sensor. What's your firmware and UI? Post your programs

Standard "Query all" program causes an off/on

Most likely you have a programming running that is causing it -
There lies the issue. Companies make things for the way THEY intend for it to be used knowing they need to protect themselves from end users using it in other ways. Some are more open than others about this. However, the best way to handle those situations is to go with whomever best fills what you are looking for.

I can't help with exact version it was changed in. If I had to take a chance, I'd go with the 1.05
