If you have the 300 zwave board in your Isy then you need to stay where you are. If no zwave board or the 500 board, whatever shows up under the current release (software releases &updates) tab for the Isy (i believe 5.3.4)

A press release has nothing to do with how something will work in real life. The same stuff was claimed with homekit and we see how that went once actually released. Michel has already answered with the same response to the other times this question has been asked.

No one can answer that since matter isn't out yet. Based on what matter claims then yes. What reality is could be different.

I would use variables for this to create a counter that resets whenever the light is off. If the variable is 0 and the light is off then set it to 1 (and turn on light) when motion is triggered. If variable is 1 and light is on, then turn the light off. If the light is off then set the variable back to 0. With that said, you'd need to make sure the sensor could only pick you up as you walk in or out of the room. If it picks you up anywhere in the room, it won't work since it'll keep turning the lights on and off. As mentioned earlier, you'll want to put the motion sensor in only on mode. You'll also need to position the sensor in such a way (such as a doorway) that it cant pick up any additional movement. You may need to cover parts of it to make sure that you have as narrow of a beam as possible as well. You'll also want to ensure a single command goes out as additional commands could cause the lights to go out. There will be some trial and error.

I doubt many here would be a fan of automatic updates for the simple fact that a bug can potentially break their system. How many times have you seen phone and other computer updates cause issues for users? (I tend to apply updates after I've tested them with my backup system). Polisy does let you know you know if there's a firmware update available for it. PG3 is still in development so they probably do not want to make that as easy since things can go sideways during these early stages.

Yes. Just use the zwave only firmware for your system. This can be found under the software releases and updates section of these forums. Once done, restore your isy. Once restored, upgrade to the latest firmware. Personally speaking, I'd just go for it. More people cause more issues trying to avoid issues than going forward with things

I wouldn't add a dimmer to anything that is not designed to be dimmable

If you have the zwave board for your Isy (or can find one) then yes you can use a zwave outlet with your Isy. Depending on both end device and isy locations, you may need additional devices to build a strong mesh network in order to get the signal to your outlet.

See post above yours. You could purchase a zwave USB stick and download 3rd party software to your computer such as simplicity studio

Doesn't matter. Whatever makes most sense and easiest for you. They both perform the same

I'll take maple bourbon goat cheese...

Copy scene attributes was removed. With 5.xxx supporting multiple device types in scenes, it no longer worked properly. Why did you stop at 5.3.3 instead of .4? 5.3.4 is the latest

It's not odd. What you can pull from those commands vs what the API exposed are 2 different things. You'll notice that when doing a get, the name is actually letters and numbers....this is what is exposed (also whats used for NRs). You have to dig into it to see the scene name that you actually named it. Their API is open so you can easily see what is exposed. V2 may be different but the Node server is based on V1. Matter may help with some of the hacking but to some degree I think it'll always be this way. The good thing is that it's only for the initial work. Once done, it getsuch easier

It's not all about them. It takes everyone doing the same.

Not if you're using the isy994 as it will not support matter. You would need the matter board for polisy or the future systems such as the eisy (and matter compatible board) to do so. Since Matter has not yet been released, no one can say what can be done. If everyone upholds what has been talked about with matter, then yes you could accomplish what you're asking if you have compatible equipment. Until there's a widespread release, all we can do is speculate

Michel answered this before and the answer was yes. They called it Matter for marketing purposes as people are more aware of the name Matter than how it communicates (thread)

You could try replacing the power supply Polisy is the newest version of the isy released a few years ago (currently out of stock). You can find out more information on UDI's website. The eisy is the future (not yet released). With polisy being out of stock, I'd wait for eisy. Either way, it's up to you to decide if you want to continue using a discontinued 9 year old device (if it's a power supply issue), or move forward and upgrade to the latest system they have to offer.

You'll have to decide that. You're on the Isy forum so we'd say find a 2413s. You could also wait for the new eisy to be released (preorders next month) and use that with your USB PLM.

They don't use RF at all in regards to the show itself. They use an enhanced gps system. The flight plates are setup and preloaded into the drones using WiFi. Even if they did use Rf, the technology would most likely be too expensive for standard consumer devices.

Are you trying to use your Isy or computer with your insteon devices? If using the Isy; the 2413u is not compatible with it. You'll want to use the Isy wiki instructions in order to get started. If using your computer, you'll want to use compatible software such as indigo or Home Assistant

So.... You're saying just have a dumb house? Your fonts covers all protocols past, present, and future

That lock isn't supported by the Isy. You may be able to do so if you add it to something that supports homekit such as HA and then add HA to the isy via the Node server. I don't use himekit and have never tried it so i can't say definitively that it will work

What does the zooz manual say?

You do realize that there was a chart of the sales page that answered your questions from here
