All that you see is built into zwave code regardless of whether a manufacturer chooses to use it or not. You'll need to check the full manual of your device (usually found on their website) to see what parameters are needed to get supported nodes to populate. The Isy wiki has instructions and details on what stuff means. Just Google Isy zwave wiki. You can also find a write up at the top of this sub forum titled zwave tips and tricks. It's easy to find since it's the very first post

I'd replace the devices

That's part of your problem. Both firmware and UI needs to match. ***See note at top of sub-forum title. Update your firmware. Once done, unplug your isy, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in

Neither answers the questions

Things like that generally require a parameter change with zwave. You'll want to find the full online manual for your devices to see what it is

Firmware and UI? What do you mean it's not right in the Isy

You'll still want to run update neighbors. For each device. In the past, I'd simply run a network heal once done which was easier. Back when I was heavy into it, I'd install when the house was least used so that no one could interfere.

Yes. Everything is setup prior to me going to a house to ensure everything works properly prior to Installation. I create my scenes, folders, rename, etc. before then as well. (this started with insteon but goes for anything i install)

Ge sold their lighting stuff. The company Jasco makes them and has a licensing agreement to use Ge's name. They are still making them

This applies in the US as well

I could be wrong but from what I read, it's made by kwikset. It's their Canadian arm

Never used it but kwikset historically hasn't had any issues with the Isy

I don't see why it's not working. Can you control it from the console? Personally, I'd create a scene, drop both outlets into the scene as responders and control the scene

I don't open links from newcomers so you'll need to copy and paste your program. R click on your program and choose copy to clipboard

Looks are based on ones perspective. While a 1940 switch may look fine to you, others may not share that same sentiment. Even if i didn't automate, I would use some type of decora style switch because toggle switches are ugly to me. While paddle switches share a classic look that allows them to age well, many have a desire to take their home to a different level which means looking at the little details. This is increased when you include HA as people want to experience it from top to bottom. I'm one of those people. I don't want to just live in my home. I want it to be an experience similar to one you have when house hunting and you see a new home. Thats how insteon has grown long in the tooth. When you look at newer switch designs such as the Lutron Sunnata line (RA3) or even their own Nokia line, the insteon switches simply look dated.

Any zwave plug in module will work for repeating. It looks like zooz is shaping up to be a player in the zwave market. As long as you stock with the top brands such as aeotech, ge, Leviton, zooz, and others you should be ok. I would just go to Amazon and type in zwave plug on modules and zwave outdoor motion sensors to see what they have

I agree with what you said when it comes to insteon and other zwave devices like homeseer's. Insteon has grown long in the tooth. That's expected with the look being over 10 years old.

I really don't see many people buying x10 in large quantities to do their home. Just like the USB PLM, they're in stock due to being unused vs being produced in high volume

I'd recommend he/you read the zwave tips and tricks at the top of the zwave forum so that you have an understanding of how zwave works

I've messed around with zooz. They're low cost devics and it shows in how they feel to the touch and when operated. It's great for those who simply want something that simply works. Someone who puts as much emphasis on aesthetics and style as they do performance probably won't like them

They make orders as necessary. The problem is they have to make a minimum buy for the factory to produce the product. With limited chips, the question becomes whether or not you produce products that may take 6-12 months to sell or those that will sell in 3-4 weeks

Wow! We went from pm issues to WW3 bringing insteon down. Let's be real. If war did break out, we'll have much bigger issues than insteon stock levels and their ability to replenish

You should probably post this on the kasa nodeserver forum since those users would be more likely to see it

See zwave tips and tricks post at the top of this sub forum under "adding devices"

Personally, I wouldn't dump a working at q insteon for any other diy automation system. Even if i had devices failing, I'd replace bad devices with newer ones as long as they were available. For the things that matter most to me, no other diy system meets my needs the insteon does. I will be swapping out my insteon system to RA3. Both my wife and I love the look of the new switches. With us building a new home, this will allow us a chance to use the ra system in our current home to see if we like it better than control 4. We'll still keep our current home (renting it out), so RA3 fits my desire to have a system that is self contained. While C4 does require a controller, (should we use it in the next home), it's not as big of a deal since we've decided this is our last build
