Thought I'd start a thread here ; It is in the 5.5.5 support thread by a few of us. Will not start or restart. No log file will start. Also tried a re-install.

On a very positive note my GE switch with motion is now reporting motion. Still does not report interview complete after a couple sync-update-interview. I didn't do a replace. My zooz 77 's which I have two ; still has one which will not bring in the associations. I am wondering whether one is behind in its firmware. They are both in the same gang box but have always seemed to act a bit different. I am looking forward to doing updates OTA with EISY as I am in an OSX/Linux house and cannot use the regular tools. My ZSE44 is next but since I need to open it up and hit the button a lot I am scheduling for the weekend.

Didn't mention. Same as above here. Also cannot get a log to get going for the Yo-Link.

Tried all my tricks but only the YoLink will not start. Did stop / start. stop / restart. Re-install. unplug EISY again. All other Node servers came on. Even my Sonos is back (thank you!).

minor point but wanted to bring to your attention.

Yes they are working fully for my programs. I am not currently using association or basic controls with these devices though. I am finding to complete the interviews with the z-wave devices I have in some cases had to redo it many times. My zen77 devices have not completed interview but after many times one has associations and the other I can't get them. The log files show a TONNE of data passing by but no joy at the end. Next update perhaps.

So with this release I got a few more of my z-wave devices to complete their interview: Homeseer HS-LS100+ Zooz ZSE42 water leak XS sensor Zooz ZEN 31 RGBW dimmer Not able to complete interview with the following (still get limited usage) GE Jasco 26931 switch with motion sensor (switch ok but no motion update on ISY, shows up in log) zooz Temp/Humidity XS ZSE44 (getting temp/humidity but battery showing zero) ZEN77 S2 Dimmer 700 only getting switch and scene 1/2 but no associations Hard to say if some of my z-wave need an update (I am linux/Mac only) so I am looking forward to the ability to update from the ISY. Anyway wanted to get this out there as feedback for @Chris Jahn and the team. We are making progress. Let me know if there is further data which will help.

did you need to do a sync with replace to get this working?

Thanks, now I know that is needed for zooz (and maybe others). I did that with a few of my z-waves and it helped with a few. Good to know its not a UD/isy issue.

At first all my servers showed green with nodes. I had to stop each of them and start or restart. Did it with the log tab selected for each node & you can be sure it started. That got all my servers going again. They only came up with this manual intervention and not a eisy or pg3x reboot.

Haven’t done the 5.5.4 update but last night did the *.20 update for pg3x and even though my servers showed green with nodes I had to stop each of them and start or restart. Do it with the log tab selected for each node & you can be sure it started. That got all my servers going again. They only came up with this manual intervention and not a eisy reboot.

I am getting these same nodes (I have about 7 of these sensors). Having the same where the Leak Detected Alarm does not turn off. I am using the main node which does come on/off for my programs right now.

I have been finding the battery devices have needed a few interviews to complete. It's as if the device goes back asleep. I have found by either hitting buttons on the device or activating it (moisture, motion) that sometimes keeps the interview going. mostly through just another interview seems to eventually get it all done. also in one case I went onto something else and the data/nodes showed up later. just with battery. dong this I have got all of my z-wave working with all nodes. Now I am really looking forward to being able to do OTA updates for my z-wave. I am in an OSX / Linux house so need this to get my devices up to date.

You will need to do a sync, replace with interview on those nodes. they will then show up (out of whatever folder they were in) as ZY devices. I have had good luck with the GE stuff doing that. after that you will need to goto any programs and scenes which they were in and touch them up.

same here ; just did a packages update & pg3x restart. still on 3.1.18 with 3.1.20 update available.

So I am now complete with my transition from Poly / zooz stick to Eisy / matter. Although I am mostly Insteon I do have about 20 YoLink and 20 Z-wave. The transition to Eisy was flawless and the transition to matter board was a solid OK for me. As @Chris Jahn mentions above the z-waves fell into a few buckets. 1. A very few units moved from ZW to ZY automagically I think two. 2. Most powered units with one sync replace with interview came with the correct nodes 3. battery units have required multiple sync replace with interviews to get all the nodes. usually requiring button pushes on the unit to wake up (multiple pushes). finding they will goto sleep during the interview sometimes 4. my GE switch / motion sensor works with the switch but no motion updates through the motion nodes. Finally all my node servers (about 12) all came over with minimal work except for a couple which required some updates by their author. currently only the Sonos node server (the free one) is running but not coming up with nodes. Hope this helps others!

Works like a charm for my needs. Mostly the 30min open reminder and a delayed turning on of garage lights to supplement the garage opener lights.

Sorry for delay was travelling for mlk weekend. No not using wi-fi. All my old polisy setup is working on eisy minus a couple z-wave holdouts. All other ns’ are good except this one.

@johnmsch I am sorry I didn't see the want to keep the 994 going. I also have an "old faithful" 994 which is not doing anything but being kept up to date for that friend or smaller use. I now also have an "extra" Polisy too which I will use as a development device I think. I did have to move on to move up as they say. Anyway, integration of the YoLink devices is through the very excellent node server written by @Panda88. Set-up is simple & it has been rock solid. The yo-link and app are still used ; the app for device maintenance and I use the history functions a lot for my temp/hum devices. The YoLink hub is critical as all communications goes through it. The negative is the dependance on devices which are dependant to external servers. There is debate on how much now and some hope (promises?) from yo-link that the api will not require calls to momma to operate at some point (thoughts on local api to hub I think). I am normally a tinfoil hat guy and want everything local but have strayed a bit with these devices because of the rock solid nature of their chosen protocol. The LoRa protocol gives such good distances it works well for sensors inside fridges or leak sensors on floors. I even home-made a few LoRa devices but the YoLink were so easy to use I haven't completed the project. I have about 20 or so YoLink devices temp, leak, and water-valve are all really nice. Used two switches to make a three-way at a friends vacation home who had the leak, water-valve already (no UD there). The switches are not as high quality as Insteon so do not recommend, but I used the direct linking feature and wanted to try them out. That is the other thing the direct linking feature I do use to switch my water valve with really critical leak sensors which gets by my tin-foil hat issue. So bottom line you NEED a Polisy/eisy to use this node server. I will argue you will enjoy the other features of the new hardware and node server eco system. I also do understand looking at your 994 and feeling like you are betraying a loyal friend. (I keep mine powered on and updated; it makes me feel better.). I do also wanted to integrate all into your Insteon system, I have tried the Z-wave sensors and am not a fan so far (the matter board is a real improvement & my two z-wave switches which I bought in the dark times are working much better now.) Anyway, I have experimented a bunch and still think Insteon makes the best switch. I am though very happy with the YoLink integration with specific devices. I also use the node servers for a Sonos, MyQ (garage door), OpenSprinkler, Plex, weather, virtual, ping, timedata, location....

@johnmsch, curious what you think you will gain with the insteon over the yolink? I have both plus some z-wave sensors ; all of them work but I actually am liking yolink (don't bother with their switches, but their water valve & temp/humidity are all good). They have excellent range and give better feedback than the z-link & much like the insteon. I integrate them with my Polisy & now Eisy quite well ; same programs for all three really. just interested in your thoughts / concerns.

have been using this ns from the beginning. recently moved from Polisy to eisy mine does not seem to be finding my Sonos on the eisy. the Sonos is uptodate and used regularly. just interesting if anyone has it working or not so I can point to the ns or me. I have restarted ; deleted ; re-installed ; rebooted. all the 'regular' stuff.

I have been using the sync replace with interview a lot to get my migration to work. Thanks @vbphilfor passing on the motion fix coming. I have a GE switch/sensor with that issue.

Zen31 rgbw just needed the sync replace & interview ZSE44 temp humidity sensor required a removal from the network and reinstall. Bit of a hassle to redo programs. so far the powered units are working better than the battery units. next is the moisture sensors which I have a weird mix of Insteon, YoLink, and zwave zooz and zwave smart things. more to come.

@garybixler can't tell if you tried this, but with my zen77 I did a sync with replace & interview. That helped quite a bit but ymmv.
