  1. 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
  2. Exactly why it's important to provide information on the forums vs assuming things are simply bugs
  3. Oldest to newest release. V3 is for Polisy only. RPI is incompatible with V3. You are running the latest version for the Rpi.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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/
  7. You can't go to 5.3.4 with the 300 board. I was speaking specifically about zwave devices not Isy firmware
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. I've been staying out of those debates lately! That 1000+ post burnt me out from it
  11. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/29371-zwave-tips-and-tricks/?tab=comments#comment-285597
  12. Bring module close to ISU/PLM. Choose start linking>press set button on device until you hear the chirp
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. It's possible with zwave. What you need to do depends on what you end up using
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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. ?
  20. What specifically are you doing? Which ecobee nodeserver and what's your firmware and UI?
  21. It's in stock. Just ordered one and it'll be delivered today
  22. Not that I've seen. The logs can only say what happened not why. From the looks of things I'd say environmental. Not every house is great for rf based devices. If it's always the same devices, I'd look to see who the neighbors are to those devices as well as the location as stated earlier. If you take a device that works all the time, swap with a bad one and update the neighbors. What happens? If the good device continues to work in the bad location and the bad device continues to have issues, then you'll know it's the device. If the behavior stays the same in the location, then you know it's environmental
  23. I meant to delete that. But i was going to say unless you downgrade your firmware which presents it's own set of issues do not something I'd advise
  24. Update neighbors is the only way unless.
