Yes, I think additional interest will help make longer term case. Also, Schlage has outsourced the cloud portion to a firm called Yonomi so contact them too.

I’ve been in touch with the Schlage group. They indicated there were no immediate plans to open the Encode API for HA use. At this points, it’s all Commerical and/or paid usage. Couldn’t get beyond that point.

Is it just me or has TapaTalk stopped working with the forum?

I captured a log of an attempt to write updates to lock. Log starts with "Write scene Links....". Anyone, what scenes could it be writing with ZWave deadbolt? There is more to the log but not sure if security information may be in some of the long hex strings.

Thanks for update. I can do everything except lock, unlock and query from ISY. Confirm if they will work. Lock sends status to ISY about locked, unlocked, usernum, and battery %.

Nevermind I threw away morninglinc interface and lock set because I disliked it so much.

Thanks. I did that yesterday. It’s back again today.

What does it mean when you have green arrow with |1011> next to a zwave node -- Schlage Deadbolt (BE469Z)? I tried to move to 500 series board yesterday (6 total nodes ) and I failed so reverted to 300 board and restored ISY backup to get rid of several phantom nodes. After retuning to 3oo board and restoring, the net result was this lock would not function at all. Finally excluded the node and reset lock to factory defaults , added it back and fixed all programs. I healed network and got things back in order as near as I could tell after spending off and on all day Friday working through it. The last thing I did were heal a few times and test and it appeared good. I Was evaluating lock this morning and it will not respond to lock or unlock. I didn't do anything to request it be updated like heal, sync, or repair since last night.

Where in the wiki? Found it.

This is why I continue to gamble that SH and Insteon remains. Scenes should be in zwave protocol. SH introduced (to me) them with X10 devices by allowing a device to have multiple addresses many years ago.

Start process of adding device to ISY. When you press and hold button it will pop up in add device dialogue box. Make sure to check delete existing links. I have a cut off extension cord with wire nuts that I connect switches to ISY so It’s near PC before moving them to final location. Make sure to trace hot and neutral from extension cord plug so you get them correct on switch wiring. The wider plug is neutral.

Well said!

Respectfully, you need to tone down the attitude. People want to help you but not if you keep lashing out at them. I for one am done providing assistance until you at least acknowledge you are asking for direction and not looking to yell at anything aimed to give you a place to start. I hope you treat your customers with more respect

Task list to migrate from 4.x to 5.0.15/16 https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/26381-upgrade-from-473-to-5015a-task-list/?tab=comments#comment-262367 Or search for my posts in TapaTalk Upgrade from 4.7.3 to 5.0.15A task list.

Blue man in post above gave the number to look for in AC administration Console. The move from 4.8 to 5.0.16 requires planning and time dedication. The technology has changed a lot in last several years. UDI is working to get you there but it can’t be painless migration between 4 and 5. I’ve been on 5.0.15 for about a year and it’s fantastic. I posted a how to guide which I’ll locate and point to in the next post.

1. 300 series Zwave board has a blue led on back of case. You can also look at AC under zwave and their is a number that tells you. 2. You should stay with 5.0.16 rc1 until you upgrade board to 500 series 3. See above, 5.1 RC2 and 5.2 RC3 are not recommend with 300 series board. Many people had terrible migration issues issues from 5.0.x versions. 4. You should upgrade to 500 series board before you move to 5.1 or 5.2

This is way in the weeds about zwave plus but my Schlage BE469 deadbolts are version prior to the BE469ZP versions. Any issues with them on 500 series board? Any reason to consider replacing them? They are the only two Zwave devices I need to have stay near 100% reliable.

Thanks it is battery operated so if I understand you that makes it a receiver only so not part of the mesh. Thanks. Whew! Bullet. dodged. Lol Is there a guide here that shows how to move from 300 to 500 series board? I’ve had a mini note since I first installed zwave board. As I recall I have to transfer control over to it to start process but that’s about all and that may be dated information.

As you can tell, I know nothing to very little about how zwave works. Is it still not a problem given that this vent is the closet zwavevdevice to the ISY?

All my devices are zwave plus except this vent. https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/1044 Used to only allow AC but not heat to blow into AV equipment room. There is no replacement I can locate using any technology. What issues could it cause in zwave mesh?

Not what meant. Can you look on ISY console and see zwave devices including which generation/series they are from. I know that the board is 300.

I’m not home now but curious if you can look at ISY to determine which are series 3 and series 5 devices.

I answered this one time in the same way and was corrected. The essence was you could install 5.0.16 FW and restore a 4.x backup. The newer firmware had conversion code to move forward older backups. I’d still be inclined to put 4.7 FW back on and restore backup up to it then upgrade to 5.0.16. Too many variables doing it the other way. I would not attempt to restore a 5.1 backup to 5.0.16 FW.

When I first saw release notes for 5.1.0, I feel certain it said that toggle to external antenna had been re-enabled. Two questions: 1. Is that true since not finding that note now? 2. Does 500 series board have external antenna connector? My ISY is in an RF intense area so getting zwave antenna away is a must which I did with 300 series board. I also do this with an extension cord for PLM.
