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.

I added 2nd Ring Outdoor Cam with existing cam and doorbell. The cam motion node is not showing in PGC or obviously ISY. I’ve stopped and started node several times. If delete and add back is required will I need to redo folders ring associated programs?

I'm still running 1.1.0 based on everything in the gui and in the log. Might explain why its not worked in weeks. How do I get the Ring PGC node server fixed? Thanks.

An older dimmer (10 years) started reacting to every near switch or dimmer (on or off) in that as it saw signal it would turn off and , pause couple seconds and then go. At the bad switch it would same thing. Already replaced hw and links via ISY. I keep a supply of sale days dual band replacements on hand. Anyone else seen this behavior? Mine have just always stopped responding as in power supply dying or dead —capacitor plague. Lol

I’ve seen this come up many times. I’ve speculated that one could: 1. Install regular dimmer in wall without load control from step 2 2. Use wires running to box from ceiling to create full time power to dimmer in box 3. Install micro dimmer/relay in ceiling to control light without direct control circuit to switch 4. Put micro module and dimmer in a scene I haven’t drawn this out or thought it all the way through but submit for consideration.

Did the addresses correct when you reloaded the console?

Lights have two methods to evaluate state of the light. Status of a light — if light state is on/off Control of light —- if light is switched on/off Control is only true when a device enters that state and status is true while device is in that state and this leads to very different results when combined with and or in the same if. Does thermostat have status and control? Not where I can try it. Edit: Arrvied home and thermostat supports both, so if I recall the original question you could use if xxx-Heat is Switched Off which equates to using Control Vs Status. Sample of how they look follows: Test:Heat State - [ID 0124][Parent 0067][Not Enabled] If 'Basement / Basement:Thermostat- Heat' is switched On And 'Basement / Basement:Thermostat- Heat' Status is On And 'Basement / Basement:Thermostat- Heat' is switched Off And 'Basement / Basement:Thermostat- Heat' Status is Off Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thanks. I'll implement the LD naming convention.

I know things are moving very fast including an unexpected office move and shipping out Polisys. Any update from UDI on the issues reported with Schlage locks?

To be sure I understand, the direct ip option does not include 14 day trial?

Do you have any else branch in the program that turns the fan on that is turning it off?

I had similar problem and solved it by deleting MobiLinc and adding it back to the device.

4.x has been the official branch for a few years. UDI has been updating the underlying architecture and working towards Z-wave certification in the 5.x branch. 5.0.16 (rc1) is solid and there is no reason to hold back. I was very conservative but made the move in June to 5.0.15A. Not a single issue.

5.0.16 and 5.0.15A before it are excellent quality products. No reason to keep waiting.

I think variable assignment from devices is a V5 feature.

C = (F- 32) * 5/9 So Step1Result f-=32 Cel = step1result * .55555 Are you using v4 or v5? V4 has no decimal notation as I recall.

I had the same issue after I upgraded to 5.0.15A. The solution for me was to delete MobiLinc and all data from each iOS device and then add it back one at a time. Also, my ISY error log would have an error trail when it was happening. Take a look at it for repeating cycle. Can’t recall the exact errors.

You can upgrade directly from 4.7.3. Link below is task list I put together from lots of reading others experiences and UDI instructions on the process. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/26381-upgrade-from-473-to-5015a-task-list/

Does firmware and UI versions match? Both should be 4.7.3

I use 3 Venstar Colorpoint thermostats. I use a predefined schedule in ISY to set the set-points on two systems with one being a split zone system. I use ISY for this function so I can program all thermostats in one place and not need to recall the functions on the thermostat or have to reprogram it if replaced. I use Fan settings to apply whole house humidifier to the zoned system. I have override functions tied to keypad buttons so each thermostat can stay at manually set set-points and ignore its program. Back to days before the auto mode on thermostats, I still have programs that set heat, auto, and cool based on combination of outside temp and couple other data points. I’ve thought of removing them (and likely will) but the dead-band between heat and cool set-points creates some limits I don’t like. In my region during late spring you often need heat at night and early morning and then cooling by the time you arrive home from work.
