Bumbershoot

I prefer Insteon as well for lighting, but I don't prefer the Insteon MS II motion sensors. The Mrs. chafes a bit at motion sensors stuck on the walls anyway (calls them "barnacles"), so I've slowly been migrating, where reasonable, to GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Smart Motion Light Switches. These switches are Z-Wave repeaters with an inbedded motion sensor, and you can buy them either as a dimmer or an on/off switch. Are they as configurable as Insteon switches? No, but they work reliably, and they can improve the robustness of your Z-Wave mesh. They're smaller and easier to install than Insteon switches as well, which I appreciate. They only have white or light almond paddles, but that's not a problem for me. EDIT: I have a 500 series Z-Wave dongle in my ISY, so I'm able to include these devices into my Z-Wave network from their installed location -- I just install them into their junction box, then include them. The ISY sees them fine.

This error occurs fairly frequently with folks attempting to upgrade. The post linked below is in response to another user having the same problem.

Scroll down in to the "Install" section in the page for the firmware you've selected, and see item #3: Download Firmware. There are two links, the first being for folks who use a PLM with or without Z-Wave components, and the second for those with no PLM, only Z-Wave.

I'll bet you mean 5.0.16C?

That's what I use and I'm very happy with it. The Venstar app has it's own geofencing capability, and you can control it through the Venstar cloud, but if you'd like deep integration with the ISY, then you'll need a local device such as a Polisy for the nodeserver, for which there's no cloud version.

If you're looking at locks and you want to control them with your ISY, then you're probably limited to using Z-Wave. There are variety of good choices available (Schlage, Kwikset, Alfred), but you'll have to build out your Z-Wave setup a bit with various repeaters, etc., in order to get a good mesh. There are also a variety of Z-Wave thermostats available, but I'd consider an Ecobee thermostat as well, as there's a cloud based nodeserver for it that doesn't require any additional hardware, other than the thermostat itself.

Firstly, I wouldn't factory reset your ISY without submitting a support ticket first. The "404" error means "Not Found", and it appears that there are nodes missing. This suggests that the communications between your Polyglot installation and your ISY are not being handled properly. Given the "Authorization Failed" message that pops up in the AC when you login, I suspect this is a credential issue. That makes some sense... If you're sure you didn't change credentials somehow on your ISY or on your Polisy, submit a support ticket prior to factory resetting your ISY.

Since you can log in via SSH, you'd think that your network settings have persisted, so you might not have lost everything. You might check to see if your nodeservers are still intact. They're located here: "/var/polyglot/nodeservers". The should be owned by user 'polyglot'. This command at the prompt should show you that: ls -alt /var/polyglot/nodeservers/ I believe that Polisy uses the ZFS file system, so the file system should be able to withstand random power outages without corruption. There was a recent upgrade to many of the FreeBSD system files, so maybe something went wrong during that upgrade. Maybe it's just a credential reset associated with that upgrade. In any event, I'd prepare a support request...

There is a Ring nodeserver in the Polyglot Cloud, so no additional hardware is needed, just a UDI Portal account. The nodeserver gives you programmatic access to battery levels and motion detection, so it's fairly minimal. It seems quite reliable, however, and the quality of the cameras seems very good. They're on their second winter here, and are having no issues. If you place them in a location where there's direct sunlight, there's an optional solar charger that's available. I get approx. a month of use between battery charges.

Firmware is fine, but the UI is not. You need to have them on the same version. Using the ISY Launcher will prevent that.

Yep. Press and hold for 30 seconds. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Resetting_Your_ISY

Stick a notice in the Coffee Shop. https://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/23-coffee-shop/

Make sure you re-save the affected programs once the obsolete devices references have been deleted from them. Also, any programs that used the "Adjust Scene" functionality need to be modified/updated or they will display the "Out of Memory" error.

I have a older lock (not Z-Wave Plus), and the "Last User" still appears in the primary node ZW024_1, not in node ZW024_306, which exists, but has never been populated with data. No breakage with this upgrade here. This probably illustrates why Z-Wave certification was difficult to achieve.

I think you can do it in any order you like. I'd probably upgrade to the latest ISY firmware then install the module (with the theory being that the less to upgrade, the better), but the module works just fine in 5.0.15A.

You need to purchase the Z-Wave module for your ISY from UDI, first. From the Help menu on your ISY, select Purchase Modules. I think it costs $1.00, if memory serves me correctly.

I've no reason to or even ability to test this, but if you're using Z-Wave devices the ISY-Net nodeserver may do some of what you're looking for. If you're running Polyglot, go to the NodeServer Store and install the ISY-Net nodeserver. Might be a partial solution to your problem. https://github.com/simplextech/udi-poly-isynet

I've got a program doing this (Control instead of Status in the AC programming interface), and it still works. This program has been in place for quite a while. I think my lock is an older model that yours, and I don't have a Basic node. I'm not aware of any node changes due to migrating from 5.3.0 to 5.3.1. Garage Door Unlock - [ID 0109][Parent 0013] If 'Devices / dirGarage / ZW 024 Schlage Door Lock' is switched Alarm Unlocked by Keypad And 'Devices / dirGarage / ZW 024 Schlage Door Lock' User Number is not 0 And $s.Occupancy is 0 Then $i.LockUser = 'Devices / dirGarage / ZW 024 Schlage Door Lock' User Number $s.GarageDoorStatus = 0 Wait 5 seconds Send Notification to 'Admin' content 'Garage Door Lock' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I've got it running. Nothing unusual so far, but I'll watch my Schlage lock for anything unusual. The ability to set parameters for it is available in the AC.

Well, you can try to use HTTPS to connect to your ISY, or possibly it's your firewall.

The 2nd step should download a file, called 'start.jnlp'. Save it somewhere you can find it and execute it when you want to use the AC. The reason that you can't start Java apps from browsers is because modern browsers have broken that capability for security reasons.

From your screenshot, it appears to be related to the 'adjust scene' functionality that underwent a big rework with the upgrade to the 5.x.x firmware series. From the release notes: If you are upgrading from version 5.0.8 or earlier, you will have to manually update the Adjust Scene entries in all of your programs. Also, if you use the ISY Launcher, you won't have to worry about firmware/UI mismatches any more.

I've been running the Admin Console under all the various beta and final releases of Big Sur and I've never seen this behavior. By your description, it sounds like you're running the correct Java application (start.jnlp). Maybe you need to clear your Java cache and download the app again. I don't see any Java settings that would make this happen. It almost sounds like the app is starting from a web browser using 'http://<ISY-IP-addr>/admin.jnlp' instead of from the standalone 'start.jnlp' application? Is that possible?

The only motion sensor I'm using with a Homeseer dimmer is in a GE Enbrighten Motion Switch that shares a box with the Homeseer dimmer. The load on the GE switch is attached to a closet light that I seldom use. I have the motion sensor set to "manual" mode, meaning that it does not control the load that it's attached to. It acts instead like a fully independent Z-Wave motion sensor. I use it to control the Homeseer dimmer through ISY programs. I'm surprised at how fast the Homeseer dimmer responds to motion, since the ISY is completely involved in the process. It is discernibly slower than the Insteon MS/dimmer combo that are linked in a scene, but only just so. Sort of how the ½ second ramp rate in Insteon dimmers is discernible. But only just so. I suppose if your ISY CPU gets tied up with some process, you might notice a performance lag, but I haven't noticed that as of yet. In short, I'm really quite pleased. The only thing lacking is more granularity in the Homeseer ramp rate -- 1 second intervals. Otherwise, it works well. The program is simple (a separate program turn the lights off). Office Light On - [ID 00D4][Parent 000A] If 'Devices / dirOffice / ZW 025 On-Off Power Switch / ZW 025 Motion Sensor 1' is switched On Then Set 'Devices / dirOffice / ZW 004 Dimmer Switch' On Set 'Devices / dirOffice / lmpOfficeDeskLamp' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I'm using the Homeseer HS-WD-200+ dimmer, and it's fine, and the sentinel LEDs can be useful. Or not. I use the sentinel LEDs to reflect the status of the various doors in my house, so I'm writing parameter changes to the switch a great many times every day. It has operated flawlessly since I installed it, nearly two years ago. The biggest beef I have with it is that the ramp rate is only adjustable in seconds, not milliseconds. I'm also using GE Enbrighten Smart Motion Dimmers/Switches in order to eliminate motion sensors from the walls. They are also working fine, exactly as intended. Again, the ramp rate on the dimmers is adjustable in seconds only. Otherwise, they're fine, and the built-in motion sensors work as intended. I still prefer Insteon switches for lighting, but these Z-Wave switches are all working well. I only use Z-Wave dimmers/switches where they answer a particular requirement that Insteon can't do, so I don't have enough of them installed to be able to report how uniformly they respond in ISY scenes. I suspect you can write changes to the NV Ram on these switches many, many thousands of times without issue. https://github.com/UniversalDevicesInc/Z-Wave-Devices/issues
