A simple test would be to switch off the keypads and see if the triggering stops.

The pop-up box to connect to wifi kept returning “unable to connect” after selecting my SSID and entering the wifi password. Neither the IP address nor ratgdov….local would work. Until they did, and I have no idea if it was due to my repeated attempts. Not sure if this is relevant, but after each reset, I’d review the boot log to look for evidence that the GDO picked up the IP address, SSID, etc of my router. Eventually they did and coincidentally, was able to access the web page via the pop-up box or directly via web browser. The boards were stable after power-down and final installation in the openers. My LAN is a recently purchased ASUS ET12 mesh.

Not sure why, but it appeared to take several reboots of the GDO and more than a dozen attempts to connect to my wifi, even though I could see the GDO's mac address in my router and the IP address I assigned it. Same thing for the second board. Also, tried a straight Discover in PG3x for the second, but ended up adding the custom config parameters as I did for the first. Nonetheless, both boards are now appearing my EISY. 🙂

Update: Noticed a new mac address in my router client list with the name "Espressif Inc". Suspecting it is the ratdgdo, I gave it a static IP address from my DHCP reservation list. After a couple of gdo resets, the wifi finally took and was able to visit the device via both IP address and local hostname. In PG3x, even though my IP address was local to the ISY, I added a custom configuration and 4 nodes finally appeared. (Yay!) Now for gdo board #2...

Hi, when setting up a new board, I first used the ESP Home firmware but was never able to connect to wifi and access the configuration page, even though the SSID and password were correct. Poking around some threads, I noticed many were using the MQTT version. After successfully installing MQTT firmware, I was able to connect to wifi and access the config page. From there, I installed the plugin, and set up the credentials and rebooted. I then realized the plugin I purchased was the "standard" version which requires the ESP Home firmware. I reflashed the board, however I'm back to where I started: No wifi connection and no config page. Not sure where to go from here. Edit: I re-flashed with the MQTT firmware. It took a while for the device to connect, however the IP address listed in the config page is nothing near what my router would assign from its IP pool, which makes me think it didn't actually connect to my wifi. ETA: My SSID appears in the wifi drop-down list, but after I enter my wifi password, it tries to connect but ends up saying "unable to connect".

Here's what I get when I send an ON command from the AC. Viewer is blank if I manually operate the switch.

Are we sure it's a range issue? Everything else about these devices performs properly except for updating status. The statuses updated properly when linked to the ISY994i. I didn't notice the issue until I recreated some programs to send some REST commands to my stereo receivers when the light switches were turned on and off.

Spotted that earlier actually. Due to the layout of my house, the front door is one of the furthest devices and consequently one of the later devices added. EISY and Zmatter are on the main floor of my house. Most devices are within 30 ft. and unobstructed by walls. One switch is 5 ft away from the EISY and it performs the same. Most of the switches are GE and were installed about 10 yrs ago. Is there a way to tell what series they are? If they are older, are they incompatible with Zmatter? As a science experiment, I just added a GE outdoor plug-in power outlet purchased a couple of years ago and was not currently using. Oddly enough, pressing the on-off button on the switch results in expected status changes and action in the event viewer. I also tried removing one of the offending zwave switches from the network and adding it back in without issue, though the original symptom re: status remains.

Since I had an ISY with the old 300 series Zwave board I couldn't use the back-up. I ended up having to install all of my devices from scratch. When I physically operate my zwave door lock, the status changes in the admin console and I see it in the event viewer: When I physically operate my other zwave devices, say a switch or thermostat, none of the statuses, modes, or setpoints change. The screenshot below was taken after I changed the fan mode to auto. If I force a query, everything aligns. Same issue with simpler devices like light switches.

Thanks, order placed!

It appears the statuses of most of my Zwave devices aren't being updated in the EISY. Here's what I found so far: Physical operation of a zwave light switch fails to return a status update in the Admin Console; however, sending a command from the AC (eg. "on" command to a light switch) will update the status, as does a manual query. Programs that used to work prior to migration based on status now fail. Level 3 event viewer shows no activity when physically operating zwave devices. The only exception to 1. and 2. I can discern is my Yale door lock; statuses, programs, and notifications work as expected. I tried healing the network and I slowed the zwave network speed to 50, but no change. I'm stumped. Nestor

Hi, are the supplied USB power cables standard, unmodified USB to micro-USB cables? The supplied cables are too short for my application and I’m hoping to use a pair of 6ft cables in their place. Thanks! Nestor

Was suspecting that. Thanks for confirming. I performed most of my ISY994 setup about 10 years ago, including Mobilinc and it’s been pretty much “set and forget”. UD Mobile has been a bit of a learning curve. Not sure how Wes did it, but programs looked like any other object/device when assigning notifications by simply entering the desired text into a box in the app. . Another question: The wiki for UD Mobile references a variable list in the Wiki. I notice the variables used in the UD Mobile template aren’t in that list. (eg. “sys.program”, “alert.event”, etc) Is there a link to a more comprehensive variables list including details on these variables? Thank you for your patience.

See screenshots below. Notice for programs no notifications option is available. Does this mean I have to create the notifications by scratch if I want to link it to a program that has no “If” conditions?

Good to know. Thanks for your help!
