Help starting with Z Wave and ISY 994i PRO
lilyoyo1 replied to to_lighter's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
You're on the Isy forums....people use the Isy for zwave. -
As with all insteon scenes, in order to keep everything synced properly, you should control the scene itself. If your scene is only 1 device then you're fine. However, if it's multiple devices, the other devices will not turn on/off if you control the individual devices instead of the scene-which controls all
-
There will always be phantom nodes with zwave due to underlying code and how the isy handles those. Only the ones in the manual for the device will do something. You can delete the ones you don't need. Some may be for different classes that can be used by setting parameters. You'll want to check with the mfg. about that

lilyoyo1 replied to to_lighter's topic in New user? Having trouble? Start here
The information on how to replace the plm is in the wiki https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:File_Menu#Replace_Modem_.28PLM.29 -
Keeping program execution in order

The most you can do it put the elk command at the end and extend the wait between your last command and the elk command -

I would read the upgrade instructions for 5.3.1 prior to upgrading and make a backup of your system prior to upgrading. You can also read about zwave in the link below as well as the wiki https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/29371-zwave-tips-and-tricks/ -

Implementing Z-Wave - What receptacles to use?
lilyoyo1 replied to ulrick65's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
Yes, that's the one. I like the feel of Eaton's plug much better(disappointed it doesn't contain beaming), but the ge works really well -
Implementing Z-Wave - What receptacles to use?
lilyoyo1 replied to ulrick65's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
Ge has zwave plus receptacles which also support beaming (which is needed for locks). Eaton also has a zwave plus outlet which is cheaper but does not support beaming. Leviton has a 700 series receptacles coming out but I don't know when as it's already passed it's initial release date (pushed back due to covid) -
Make sure that you are using the isy launcher to access your Isy
-
I completely agree with that last statement. However, I'm not seeing anything that points to operator error. That's why I was looking at setup and timing. Those are the obvious points of failure that I can see
-
Delete one of the sensors from the program. What happens during testing then? Once you confirm the results, re-add and then delete the other one and test again.
-
Don't just install it. Make sure you read everything to avoid issues. The upgrade from 4 to 5 is alot different than normal.
-
I meant 5.0.16C
-
Why are you going to 5.0.15? At the very least, you should go to 5.0.06c. The links are on the very first page of whatever version you want. Read through everything that it requires and you will end up at the links
-
What is the timing set to on your motion sensor (before it sends another on command)? Also, are your sensors positioned so that both could potentially see the same motion close together?
-
If your firmware and UI do not match, it can cause issues with the isy. Since your app gets its information from the isy, it's important that both firmware and UI match. I just realized you said that you upgraded to 5.1. There were some issues with that firmware. If you do not have the zwave board (if you do it must be the 500 series board) you should upgrade to 5.3. if you have the old 300 series board, you'll want to use 5.0.16
-
Did you clear your Java cache after updating
-
Id let the self healing take care of that. You should be able to use Network wide inclusion since you have plus devices. Make sure that is checked as well

How best to replace a dead motion sensor (2842-222)?
lilyoyo1 replied to inovermyhead's topic in ISY994
I've never seen a device disabled on its own by the isy but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I've noticed that sometimes programs have been changed so I would say it's possible (though improbable). Most likely it's inadvertent user error. As long as the ish was used to link 2 devices together, it is aware of the other link. You can factory reset a device and then restore it without issue. When it comes to battery operated devices, they need to be in linking mode during the restore process -
What's your firmware and UI? Does the ISY see when you manually turn on the keypad? What happens when you run the "then" portion
