Home automation continues to be a "techie" world in spite of the advertising moniker "smart home". UD has been one of the more reliable controllers through the X10, Insteon and Z Wave eras. Matter is another attempt at industry standardization but as we've seen with other technologies, they seldom get it to the point where it no longer requires technical knowledge. I replaced all the X10 devices with Insteon and then with Z wave. Each generation improved. I've tested Matter and it appears fine using other apps to control it but not sure its noticeably better than Z Wave. I do look forward to UD supporting Matter.

I have an eisy program to check the actual Humidity and send a notification when the humidity is less than 29%. The Ecobee displays 34%. When I examine the actual data on eisy it shows Humidly = 34%. I examined the Ecobee history, and it never went below 31% I get a notification that the humidity is less than 29%. Also, the notification (below) shows "Humidity set to 28%". The Humidification Setpoint is 34%. Note I had to adjust the Ecobee humidity by about 7% using other humidity sensors I have. Any ideas why I am getting notifications if the actual humidity is not less than 29%? Main floor humidity notification 'Ecobee - Main Floor' Humidity set to 28% at 2025/02/18 04:58:23 AM. ---------------------------------------- At: 2025/02/18 04:58:23 AM Program: Main floor humidity notification Device: Ecobee - Main Floor (n002_t532566742259) Action: Humidity Value: 28%

Using Eisy. I installed the Plugin and received this message. How do I fix this?

Guy, thanks. I thought I was missing something. Regards, Richard

I have the EISY hub with the ZWave and ZMatter USB adapter. I have Matter device that connects to Alexa. How do I add this device to EISY and can I use in my programs like a ZWave device?
