I doubt it since its a pull chain. It's still engaged as if a dummy switch controlled it.

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

Yes.

I use a zwave motion sensor to do the same thing. Depending on room, time, and occupancy, lights will automatically turn on/off

?. You don't see backup and restore in your screen shot

Your polisy doesn't have backup and restore options in the same place the Isy 994 has them?

No it does not. It's specifically for (excluding/including) removing a device from an old controller in order to add to a new one. Migrating is a different story which polisy doesn't support currently

I'd assume its the same reason why it's cheaper to buy chicken with the skin on it than without it. They're charging for doing the work and putting it together for you.

Yes

It's sound advice but 18" may be a bit much. Even with wifi routers, they say your device shouldn't be too close. @MrBillresponse hit the head squarely on the nail

You can purchase a zooz zwave stick and use that along with the simplicity studio PC controller software to update your devices. Buy the zooz USB stick from UDI since they said those who purchase it from them will get a full credit towards their new board. That way, once you buy your polisy, you'll already be ready with your other pieces

Keep in mind that having a repeater too close is just as bad as having one too far. There's a chance it may not even be used for repeating. If it is, you can also potentially be wasting a hop. For example, one of my outlets is a couple of feet from my controller. It's not a repeater to any of my devices. It's not a problem since it was out there for other purposes but just using that to show being close isn't a catch all

I dont know if its been removed but x10 shows up in the program list like it does with the isy. I dont use x10 so I cant text. I think the module wasnt ported over so you cant give it a name like the before. You can always try it and see what happens.

Insteon doesn't have anything to do with zwave. Zwave direct association does not work in that manner so what insteon does/did would have no bearing.

That's not the popcorn effect. Has nothing to do with repeaters. It's the fact that each device responds 1 at a time vs simultaneously like insteon. For example, add 10 relays to a scene and each will turn off individually. Do the same with insteon and you'll hear a single click in unison.

That would be device specific when it comes to zwave. You need to check the online manual for your device and see what the parameters are and then set them

Firmware and UI of your Isy

Most likely it's closer to the 981 (if not more).

Michel has stated zwave will be handled differently with polisy. Not sure if the new updates will make it's way down to the Isy. Another user stated earlier he found similar behavior using it with homeseer

I know xking stated at one point that he didnt have any plans on adding sensor support to the Node server. No one has commented on previous posts in regards to V2 of the hue API. They may be waiting until it's finalized before doing something with it.

That's the latest and only version for the isy

I believe that information is in the full owners manual found online.
