Probably not. Id make sure you are on the latest ISY firmware for your ISY which is 5.0.16C.

z-wave occasional error in UD Mobile and ISY admin
lilyoyo1 replied to landolfi's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
There is no 700 board for the Isy. The latest board for the Isy is the 500 board. Michel has stated that they will not have a 700 board for it (only polisy). With that said, all communication will be at 500 series. I don't use the app so i can't say what the errors mean. If you've already run a network heal on your problem device, I would recommend clearing your Java cache just to ensure there isn't anything causing any conflicts. Next, bring your problem device closer to the Isy and run a heal. Then test to see if the error goes away. If it does then there's a chance it could be environmental. If it doesn't, trying removing the device from the Isy and re-adding. Something could've potentially gotten corrupted in the process. Repeat the tests. If it continues (especially if it's with the same device while others work) it could be a defective device. -

Are you using the isy994 or polisy? -
Not the best reception for front door lock, zwave questions
lilyoyo1 replied to ctviggen1's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
Whats the latest version of everything? We hear that alot and then when further questioned, it turns out the person doesnt have the latest. The best way for us to help you is to provide actual details such as your firmware and UI. Having information on both is important. (Help>about) What do you mean by zwave devices are not marked. Ive used zwave in dozens of installs and every single one has started with ZW 00# (number increases after each device)when a device is added. Ditto for every single person on here using zwave. The only way any of that information is missing is if you overwrite it. If youre having to go back through and put a "Z" in front of all your zwave devices then you erased it during setup. Thats a user issue not a software issue. In regards to looking at the event viewer information- did you open the event viewer before or afterwards and set it to level 3? Ditto for update neighbors. Since locks are usually asleep, you want to wake it up by manually locking/unlocking it when you want to run it. On the surface, it appears you have enough hardwired devices in your home for a decent mesh. However, not knowing the layout of things, environment, etc., I cant really help with whether actual placement is great for a strong mesh. Needing to add your minoston's close to your isy does not surprise me. All of your devices must support network wide inclusion for it to work from its final location. Otherwise, you must bring the devices close to your ISY. -
Being that you blocked your programs it's hard to tell. Looks like you have a lot going on though. You can try a wait between each line to see if that helps as well as ensure your UI matches your firmware

Its been coming in and out of stock. Many people have been switching to zwave which may be playing a part in it's stock level. Since it's still showing on their webpage nor has Michel stated it's been discontinued, I'm certain it will be coming back in. You can email UDI directly for more assistance if you require a time frame

You're welcome. I rarely change the volume myself which is why I use presets. When I studied my habits I realized preset volume adjustments made more sense. The only time I adjusted things where early morning, afternoon/evening, and night as it became late. I took note of where my wife and I would set the volume at different times and set it accordingly. The presents even allows us to turn up the volume for a song and will set it back to where it was after.

@simplextech I was just wondering if the Sonos API shows whether the beam or arc was connected to tv for sound or just playing. I know the app will show if it's on tv but the API may not expose it. If it is exposed in the api, is it possible to add that capability
-
I use programs for my favorites. I use preset volume that auto adjusts depending on room and time vs tying up keypads to turn it up and down. It's easier for me to adjust that from the app the few times I change the volume vs get up and go to the wall for adjustments. However, I don't see why you couldn't achieve what you want via programs and variables

Latest Firmware version of the Z-Wave dongle
lilyoyo1 replied to Bob Chase's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
Yes 4.55 is the correct version. You have the 300 series dongle. The are no updates available for it -
In general I don't see a use case for the modems except for those with specific use cases such as out in the wilderness with no internet connection. BT may be welcome for those who use BT capable devices (such as tags) that are within range but that would be of limited use. At this time BT is not enabled (I may be wrong) nor have anyone developed anything to use with it. I haven't thought much beyond that as none of those apply to anything i can see myself using

Techman left the instructions for that particular device but that applies to all recent (last few years) insteon switches. If you type the insteon part number and out instruction manual after it, it'll pull the manual up for those specific devices as well
-
Have you tried to factory reset the switch? Since the problem is local, you could try to take the paddle off and clean the contacts

Polisy and the isy994 are one in the same in regards to being computers/hardware running the isy software. While there are still bugs being worked out with Polisy running the isy software, it is pretty solid where i have no problems running my home with it. If you read on the polisy sub-forum, you'll see everything that people are dealing with and doing with polisy. Polyglot cloud is no long active and there is no timetable for when it will return. If you scroll down the forum main page, you'll see a subforum for all the node servers that PG3 supports. In time, that list will grow even more. Going by your house list, you have a better chance at succeeding with polisy than you do with the 994. If the 994 supports something then so does Polisy. Long term, Polisy will support things the 994 does not and probably never support. The main benefit of polisy over the 994 is that most development/new features is going to Polisy while the 994 will get maintenance updates but will be limited in new features. You can stick with the 994 (if buying a new one) but will be buying something with a limited future. Polisy can currently use both Node server stores while the 994 is limited to the V2 store...at least until it's shutdown

When it comes to zwave, I would forget insteon. You're only causing yourself more frustration.

You'd have to ask Zooz why not. Being scene capable depends on the device firmware. I suspect because the 71 can only be on/off vs the dimmer which can have multiple (just a guess. I don't really know). Are you trying to use control or status for your program? Since it can't be used as a controller, I doubt it would show up using control as a condition

lilyoyo1 replied to ctviggen1's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
You dont say what your locks are nor what your firmware and UI is so there is limited support we can give you. See Zwave tips and tricks (very first post on this sub-forum) as that could provide you information that could help you with your issues. Just because you have devices 5' from your lock does not mean they are routing your messages to your locks. You can check to see what the neighbors are by right-clicking on the device, then Z-Wave> Show Information In the Event Viewer, then watch to see the nearest neighbor. There is no way to just see zwave devices (especially if you renamed them completely). Generally, they start with ZW (and their number). It is not possible to view what the codes are. There is a notes section that you can put your codes in if you right click on the device. -
You have to click the button once you change the settings

Help with Z Wave details for Polisy
lilyoyo1 replied to dbroere's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
It's all exactly the same except for the difference in capabilities with the protocols. -
Help with Z Wave details for Polisy
lilyoyo1 replied to dbroere's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
There's no difference. The same information applies. There isn't a device specific place to turn to as the same device can be different based on your Isy firmware along with device specific firmware. Generally, if you want to know what node does what, you'll need to play around with it to see how each responds. Some may require parameters to be set in order to work. The full online manual for your specific device would be able to provide that information. -
JJust so you know. This method you're choosing is no longer being developed so support for the Node server you're looking at may be limited in addition to his long it'll actually work

Leviton ZW4SF-1BW 4 Speed Z-Wave Fan Controller Improves Fan Noise
lilyoyo1 replied to vbPhil's topic in Z-Wave - Series 700
I doubt it since its a pull chain. It's still engaged as if a dummy switch controlled it. -
After So Many Years Still Cant Connect to ISY
lilyoyo1 replied to ccclapp's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
They did with the Isy launcher. -
Its not puzzling. If you yell at someone across a room and they hear you, does that guarantee you'll hear them? Same applies for your devices. That's why repeaters are recommended

They were finally purchased. There are a few discussions on the Smarthome channel forum
