No, it does not work at this time due to Polisy not supporting zwave yet. You'll need the module. There is no timetable for when zwave will be available They've recently opened Polisy to public testing for insteon so it's some ways off. There is no such thing as Canadian zwave. Canada uses the same US frequency (North American). Schlage is notoriously difficult to work with compared to other zwave devices but it does work.

With the personalities here, they'd spend more time on forum stuff than things that really matter.

Remove and re-add as MSII

That's how I usually go about thingsc because I don't like the time limit between searches
-
The point i was making is that most people don't bother to search or read anyways so it doesn't matter. They simply create a new post to get their answer. Many posts goes off the subject matter but usually the first few posts have the needed info. It's not uncommon for a poster to claim they searched for hours looking but couldn't find anything, yet- 3 posts below theirs is the same exact issue previously been asked and answered

Use the launcher from the 5.3 upgrade post
-
No point in renaming old threads. Judging by the multitude of repeat posts on the same topics, no one reads/searches for past posts anyway. Now that UDI has transitioned to the next era of Polisy, a new subforum for it should be set up
-
Can you copy and paste it as I don't see it. This way it can be corrected so others are no confused as well by incorrect information. This is what I see

If you do not have zwave, then you need to update your ISY to 5.3.3 in order to set those. IF you have zwave devices then you need to go to 5.0.16c

is your messaging going through your repeater? What are you using to repeat? Bring the lock close to the isy and do your testing. That will ensure that everything works properly. Then its easier to troubleshoot other issues.
-
Is it updating while you're testing? If its not then thats why you arent receiving notifications. Do you have any repeaters between your lock and ISY
-
Does the lock update in the ISY? Post your full program
-
Its not an error. You wrote your program wrong. The second line of your program shouldnt be included

Did you clear your entries in alexa from your mobilinc setup prior to switching over to the portal? If not this may be why you're getting duplicate entries. If you are specifying a device in a 3 way, then yes, you must specify the device that is attached to the light otherwise you would control your switches and not the light You do not have to unscrew the devices from the wall to find the load bearing switch. Turn your light on, and then air gap the switches. Whichever causes the light to go off is the load.
-
If everything works properly on all of your other echos, then it would not be a portal issue as the same would happen on those as well. It's either the unit itself or something on Amazon's end.
-
You're probably better off asking Amazon as it sounds like an issue with them. I suspect you have too many redundant skills going which may be confusing Alexa to the point it doesn't know which skill to trigger

Exiting Insteon ISY User looking for Z-wave recommendation

It probably will but that's not saying much. X10 will outlive them all. ? -
Exiting Insteon ISY User looking for Z-wave recommendation
lilyoyo1 replied to Zippy's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
I prefer zwave sensors over insteon but that's about it. Zwave sucks for lighting but what bothers me may be ok with you. Zwave direct communication is limited to 4 devices. However, with an isy scene, you can add any number of devices. The downside to this is every device will turn off 1 at a time unlike insteon (popcorn effect and my biggest gripe). There are other issues but as I said before, what bothers me may not bother you. You're showing 14 devices due to the extra nodes that zwave creates for your devices. That's normal. I wouldn't worry about it. I am surprised you were able to cover things with just 3 devices. Since you're planning on adding more, you'll be fine long term. The downside with a small number is that should anything change or interfere, you could potentially have issues -
Theoretically you could have none or you could have a bunch. It all depends on how often your programs are triggering in regards to insteon. If the devices you're using with the second controller are triggered infrequently you will be ok. The more familiar you are with your systems the easier things are to manage and compare for should you have problems If your devices are constantly triggered somehow, then likelihood of a collision goes up. Since you say it's only a couple of devices, I doubt you'll have much issues. i say go for it. There's only 1 way to find out

Where did you read that at? In the very beginning of 5.3 (in bold red letters) it says you need the 500 board which is what you have
