I highly doubt that someone would have commented being that Kush (original author from your 1 year old post) hasnt been on here since July and jca001 has been on but didnt even bother replying on here, you probably would not have gotten a response. Had your approach been much different, I wouldve given you the answers from the start. YOU chose to be difficult and act entitled which is why you had to go through all of what you went through over the last few days. Think what you want. You are the one with issues. You were the problem every step of the way. Those willing to help you have working systems and the knowledge you lack. This is all on you and you alone.

We wouldve been had he not specifically mentioned, x10, insteon, and his ISY system (in a residential home). Context matters

I couldve sworn we were talking about residential home automation not large corporate offices (who wouldnt be using the ISY and Insteon anyway). Ditto for small to medium sized businesses.

Please stop making mountains out of molehills. Yes, closing old threads worked out the way they intended. You did make a new post didnt you? Unfortunately, you chose to act entitled and ranted and raved instead of simply posting your issue and asking for help solving it. The same wouldve happened had the old threads still been up. The difference is that UDI and everyone else wouldve needed to go through all of the posts. Those posts were 1 and 3 years old. If the authors were going to update them, they would have done so by now since they've been open until recently. Not only that, if they were still perusing these forums recently, they could have chimed in on your posts giving you an update (which they did not), which means they either aren't on here or didn't care enough to update you. Either way, whether it was on this post or an old post, you would've been in the same boat. Most people don't update their posts when something gets fixed or works out for them. Using one of your old posts for example, UDI, added what you asked for when it comes to notifications and you didn't bother to go back to it with an update. You were using 3 year old software, ranted about a bug and when I tried to help you, you refused the help. Had you simply put your pride aside and asked for help or responded to my request, i would have given you the needed information a long time ago. Unfortunately you chose a different path and now you're still here doing the same. You're the one stuck with issues but instead of setting pride aside, calming down and asking for help, you double down which lessens the chance of anyone bothering to help you now and in the future

X10 is a 70s/80s technology as such has stuff for control during that time. Insteon and the Isy is modern technology so their focus is on modern technology means of control. Present and future users most likely would be focused on web based means of control and other modern technologies. Most likely they would not be purchasing older systems such as X10. Because of that, I just don't see UDI spending time trying to add support for something that 60% of homes do not have anymore (a number that's dwindling) and most do not use when they do. Financially, that simply wouldn't make sense. You could always plug your modem Into an X10 appliance module and their telephone module to reboot it

Exactly why it's important to provide information on the forums vs assuming things are simply bugs

What sensors? The Isy supports many types

Oldest to newest release. V3 is for Polisy only. RPI is incompatible with V3. You are running the latest version for the Rpi.

Well, i have done at least 30 homes with zwave devices including 2 of my own and none have that issue. Your don't want help so it's a moot point. Good luck

Since you already feel a 3 year old post is a bug (especially considering no recent posts on the matter from anyone), I'll step back. Good luck

Since you've provided zero information about your setup we can't be off much help. We could assist you if you stated how many devices, what they were, Firmware, and UI, etc. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/29371-zwave-tips-and-tricks/

You can't go to 5.3.4 with the 300 board. I was speaking specifically about zwave devices not Isy firmware

The sensors that I use are fibaro motion sensors and yes they do it based off whatever value I set. I'd be surprised if yours did not do the same. Aeotec is normally really good about their devices providing lots of information. Most likely, you'll need to download the full manual for your device to get the parameters to allow light level and set the corresponding parameter in the ISY

You do not need the 500 board for new stuff. They'll still work with it. You just wouldn't take advantage of the features that 500 series devices have such as network wide inclusion, range, etc.... They'll still work though. I use the lux sensor in zwave motion sensor to determine when I turn my lights on. It works really well. Regardless of time, depending on occupancy of a room and situation, lights will automatically turn on off it's too dark.

I've been staying out of those debates lately! That 1000+ post burnt me out from it

Bring module close to ISU/PLM. Choose start linking>press set button on device until you hear the chirp

You have a week mesh. The siren has always been one of the strongest/best range extenders. With it no longer there, your range has been impacted. Zwave could have automatically healed itself over time but with limited repeaters has no other pathways which is why you've experienced the issues that you have

This is why I stated it depends on what you use. Different zwave brands achieve your desired results differently. You're asking open ended questions which is why you're getting open ended answers. Yes, zwave can be added to scenes but not all zwave devices can be a controller in a scene. Insteon has more flexibility work it comes to scenes than zwave does do depending on what you want to accomplish and what you want to use, scenes may or may not be the best option It would be much easier if you provided information in regards to light switches you were planning to use in your home as we could then tell you want you need to do to make a 3 way switch.

It's possible with zwave. What you need to do depends on what you end up using

There are many ways to accomplish what you're trying to do. The best depends on the full scope of your home. I recommend trying a few different things to see what fits your situation. In addition to what MrBill said, I'll add a few others. Create a scene with everything in it as responders configured to be on. Create another scene with your kpl button in it as a responder as well. There are multiple ways to accomplish the rest via programs. Me- i'd create a program that that turns the everything scene off automatically from a single tap (including the kpl button) and another program that will turn everything on if i double tap it. You could also create a program that turns on your kpl button if the status of any button is on and a program that turns the lights off if you turn the kpl button off.

There are 2 stores. One is for cloud based nodeservers and the other is for local options such as polisy and Rpi users. Since you said you haven't installed anything locally I assume you're using the cloud based one. I don't use that so I can't say definitively what you can do with that one. I assume the capabilities of both are the same though. What you see in the admin console cannot be manipulated. You need to either use programs or scenes

Thank you. We'll be going with something else in the next house they doesn't require as much upkeep. That's where I put mine too

Mine arrived today. Hopefully I don't lose it before Polisy is ready. Let me not put it in a place where i won't forget about it. ?

What specifically are you doing? Which ecobee nodeserver and what's your firmware and UI?
