Can be mixed, but light will behave only based upon to which switch it is connected. Responder levels for each responder in a scene can be unique to each controller device, and to the scene, itself (basically think of it as the EISY/PLM being the controller device).

I believe I have tried this in the past, with the same lack of success, but perhaps I will try again. The use of the "basic association" nodes was in response to the post from peterathans who apparently had success using these nodes.

It is possible that I am doing things wrong, or it is possible that these particular devices don't support it. I have added four zwave devices into a scene. For each device, I have only added the nodes "Basic Scene Ctl 2" and "Basic Assoc 2". There are two of each type of node and no other nodes in this scene, for a total of four nodes. Each device is added as "controller". I believe a couple of those are zooz devices, one being an outlet, and one being a dimmer switch. Two devices are likely other brands. I could find no combination of controller device that would allow selection of a "native", including trying to link the two zooz devices natively.

I have tried, but not as hard as you. One of the things I recall may be required is that the link type must be Z-wave and that not all z-wave devices have this capability (I was able to achieve it only with one device I own...a motion sensor). I have given up on trying to make this happen. Hopefully, someone else has had better luck and can help.

I have suddenly been curious about matter and reading up on a lot of terms…border routers, edge routers, matter controllers, matter bridges, thread, mesh. I percieve, for example, that (at this point) alexa border router/controller does not automatically link to a google router, but an alexa border router can share individual matter devices with a google matter router. Thread and wifi are, of course, different. From what I have read about the ISY, my,perception is that matter (wifi) devices will iintegrate natively with IoX. Matter (thread) devices will integrate only via a nest hub (gen2j or apple home. Interestin to me is that they did not mention any thread enable routers from amazon. I am also assuming that, at this point, IoX is not exposing nodes to other matter controllers via a matter interface. For now, I am assuming that this will still require a portal account. Maybe this will change in the future. Maybe my assumptions and perceptions are all wrong.

I got several months out of the cheapest 9v battery. (In retrospect, I probably should have sprung for the better versions of the 9v.). The current generation sensors use the lithium 123 battery and I get a little more time out of those.

Based upon what I have seen, matter is not ready for prime time. I would not assume that we know much about how it will work, whether thermostats are supported, or whether it will stay linked for more than a few days. (Though, in fairness, I base my skepticism on thread, specifically, rather than matter as a whole.)

While not Canada, temperatures here (Ohio) are currently -5F. Winters can get pretty cold and summers can push 100F. I would not reject Insteon motion sensors. I protect mine from above from direct contact with rain, but otherwise they are fully exposed.

I support this statement. You need to get the motion sensor disconnected from the micro module and control everything programmatically. Assuming an Insteon sensor, configure it to send ON only commands, and use a program to turn the lights off. I tend to set the motion sensor time out to be short, so that continuous motion sensing retriggers the motion program before the program turns off the lights.

Shot in the dark....unlikely, I suspect...but is it possible that you have installed the Hue "Emulator" rather than the Hue

It has been my experience that, with Insteon switches, a "control" condition will trigger a program when the expected condition (on, off, etc...) is received from (and only from) manual control of the Insteon device. "Status" conditions will trigger a program any time an Insteon device changes state, regardless of what initiates the state change. If you are seeing behavior different than this, you may be having other difficulties, such as communication between devices.

Adding to this thought, I have several z-wave switches and none would trigger programs from a "control" (switched on) condition. A few would not even trigger status conditions. I start to wonder if, in the IoX world, the control condition is unique to Insteon devices. Perhaps Lutron switches also fail to trigger programs from a control condition? I second the motion to try "status" instead.

This is what I suspect is your problem.

Yes, it appeared to sign in correctly and show "linked".

This is what happened to me, as well. I can tell you that I do not have multiple gmail accounts and have only had a single gmail account ever.
