I suspect you are correct. Would be great id Alexa were backward compatible with Alexa+. It sounds as if this will roll out on some but not all Amazon Devices which will be awkward.

Any idea if Universal Devices will support the new Alexa+ coming out next month?

Michael said in my Ticket "Hi Even, you have to cut it at the perforation. "

Looking at the board now, it seems there are no traces that go to the upper half of the board beyond the "dotted line" so that looks like correct solution but will wait on the ticket.

Thanks. I will open a ticket to confirm.

Does anyone have any photos on how to assemble the Zmatter USB Dongle? The RF leads on the external connectors seem to be at the same height as where the Z-Wave/Zigbee card is supposed to be. Is the card supposed to somehow get placed beneath the RF Coax or above? I don't want to screw the card in and damage something.

sjenkins, you are right. Insteon gave me a 7-day trial on the director for hub 2. I can no longer find the legacy app on google play. I am able to add my devices in parallel with PLM as you say. I think with Director, it still doesnt do much. Just schedule and scenes. I am also starting to think about moving to my Polisy for the future lower cost UD subscription.

Ugh. I am in the same boat. Over 60 Insteon devices and still using ISY994i. Will probably sell my house in a year or so. I purchased Polisy and ZWAVE ZIGBE card. Installed into Polisy but never used. The level of effort to convert seemed to be over my personal threshold to make the switch. Then when eISY came out, I just couldn't bring myself to purchase the hardware when I just paid for Polisy and ZWAVE/Zigbe card. I think Techmans suggestion to use Insteon Hub 2 is spot on. I have a couple of the 2245-222 Hubs that were purchased a long time ago. Since the model number matches what is on Insteons site as a Hub 2, I assume it would be able to run the new director software. The issue there is I dont know what works and what does not work with the Insteon Director sw. ...and I guess I will have to factory reset all devices and re-program with the hub. I am not looking forward to this at all. I guess another option is to go hubless.

ok, I feel dumb now. I cut and pasted that hyperlink , but that wasn't the page I was aware of when asking the question. I may not have any questions and will now read. Thank you for that.

OK, I purchased the ZMatter! Z-Wave+ | Matter Module for Polisy (beta) There is very little information about this device. I assume it plugs into an open port inside my Polisy Pro. I have not opened Polisy Pro to confirm I have such a port. Then there is some text about enhanced range. I see two holes on the sides of my Polisy Pro where some antenna's could be mounded. Will this card come with the RF Cables and two antenna's that I can mount in those holes? I am currently still using my ISY994i and I have no Zigbee or Z-Wave devices. For now this will be just something to play with.

...from todays Insteon email... What happened to smarthome.com? Another entity has purchased the smarthome.com domain – Insteon is no longer connected to Smarthome. You’ll be able to buy Insteon products directly through Insteon.com and other partners in the future.

Thanks again. You are too helpful. It may take a few reads to catch on.

When I configure the portal to expose an Insteon Dimmer Switch I can control the light dimming level, however I typically use scenes to connect a light with a dimming switch as many of my switches are 3-Way or 4-Way. This means when I use Alexa, the device turns on but not all of the switches reflect the change. If I configure the portal to expose the scene, then all switches reflect the change, but I cannot control the dimming level as that is set by the scene. Are there any work arounds for this?

I went on vacation after my 19 May Post. It is strange that this issue just went away on its own. I no longer get these emails. Checked the battery in the sensor and everything is working. System is still up and running. I should probably get the sensor wet and see if I get the alert.

I appreciate all of the guidance. Thanks. I will give that a try, if it doesn't work, I am sure I can delete and re-enter. It was working for quite some time before this, so it is something I can do.

Shows they are 1 below. Strange that they display as blank in the email.

... I I just noticed I still got the error A problem has been detected with a leak sensor. Details below: Kitchen Sink: 1 Laundry Room: HVAC Room: ---Status Key--- 1 = Heartbeat OK (normal status) 2 = Heartbeat missed 3 = Heartbeat check program not running 9 = Leak detected After you receive an alert on your mobile device, reset the Leak Sensor by tapping the set button and return the Leak Sensor to its location. Maybe time to reboot the ISY, then see if the programs saved or corrupted again

There was no reason. So I guess not only a wasted step, but one that potentially introduced problems.

oh, I did update the ISY firmware recently and did a backup and restore. I should probably check all of my programs.

ok, it was a fast fix. Made the updates and saved changes. I guess I will find out at 6:00 PM is it is working again.

Thank you for pointing this out. I have no idea how that happened. Everything was configured when I first set this up. I should check my last back-up copy. Thanks again.

I didn't know you could copy the code so easily.

ok, Sensor Status Kitchen Sink Leak-Dry=On Kitchen Sink Leak Heartbeat=On Kitchen Sink Leak-Wet=Off And my program has the "is not 1" statements, so maybe it is an issue with one of my other two sensors. The other two leak sensors do not say "1" for their status so maybe their Null status is initiating the emails. A problem has been detected with a leak sensor. Details below: Kitchen Sink: 1 Laundry Room: HVAC Room: ---Status Key--- 1 = Heartbeat OK (normal status) 2 = Heartbeat missed 3 = Heartbeat check program not running 9 = Leak detected

I implemented the Leak Sensor Program in the ISY Cookbook. It has been working fine for quite some time until recently I had some water under my kitchen sink. I reset the Sensor but now I get email notifications on just the Leak Sensor that was under the Kitchen Sink stating "1 = Heartbeat OK (normal status)" Questions. What is the point of the Normal Status? When operating normal I don't want to be notified. Why is this in the program at all? Why didn't I get this notification before the Leak Sensor detected water and why do all of my other Leak Sensors operate normally and do not send me this message? Am I doing something wrong? I thought I understood the logic of this program until now and am a bit confused. Thanks http://www.universal-devices.com/docs/production/The+ISY994+Home+Automation+Cookbook.pdf

Thank you for the offer. I wanted to post that I have purchased these 3 motion detectors so folks know these are no longer available.
