You can break off the end of the card, it's the only way to fit it in there with the antennas. BTW - which antenna goes to which radio?

^^^^What he said....

I feel so behind the times. I was about to start migrating to my Polisy and have a matter/zwave card ready to install, but got an email about the EISY? Is that the future? If I'm mostly zwave, should I just wait to migrate IoP to the EISY instead? It looks like a different software stack and platform than the Polisy. I have found little info on it, so if anyone can put some light on this, please do!

I am very interested in this too. About to take the plunge into whole exterior lighting.

Is there a way to run a native ARM JVM that can run the admin console?

I was looking for more control to have multiple sensors and the switch interacting with a shutoff, but that would work. I will play with it. That worked like a charm. Button status work great as a trigger. THANKYOU! It throw a "DOF" and "DON" event that will trigger a program. Wed 08/18/2021 20:17:35 : [ ZW098_253] DOF 0 (uom=78 prec=0) Wed 08/18/2021 20:17:37 : [ ZW098_253] DON 100 (uom=78 prec=0)

I have a GE Smart Switch in the garage. I would like the act of turning on this switch (either physically or by a program) to trigger a timer. That timer would count down and automatically turn off the light. First program that starts the timer: Garage Start Timer - [ID 000C][Parent 0001] If 'Garage_MainLight' is switched On Then $GarageTimer = 10 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Second program: Garage Light Timer - [ID 0020][Parent 0001] If $GarageTimer > 0 Then Wait 1 minute $GarageTimer -= 1 Else Set 'Garage_MainLight' All Off Set 'Garage Tool Light' All Off The first program is not triggering. In the event log I see that the switch reported on and off status when I physically turned it off and on. Wed 08/18/2021 14:17:03 : [ ZW098_1] ST 0 (uom=78 prec=0) Wed 08/18/2021 14:17:08 : [ ZW098_1] ST 100 (uom=78 prec=0) Why is the first program not triggering? Am I not understanding how the ISY works, or is this Zwave buggery. Thanks!

Ok, sad faces. Looks like the only remaining ISY plugin for homebridge needs some encouragement to continue active development and roadmap. Not looking good.

Thank-you for the wonderful and easy guide for setting up Homebridge! I am about to refactor my system and start moving to Home Kit. As part of this, I'm also moving to ecobee thermostats away from RCS RS485 units controlled by my Elk M1. Seems like I need to run both Homebridge AND a Polyglot node for Ecobee? is that right? I would like to be able to control the ecobee with my ISY to be able to tell the ecobee that we're away when the M1 is armed away. If I do need to run both, can I run both on the same Pi?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but since it's related to my migration to the 500 board and 5.3, I figured I'd try. The migration was iffy. A dozen or so zwave devices did not make the migration, which I expected. So now I am going through the process of repairing. The first one I tried is a Kwikset lock. Removed it and then added again with the lock next to the ISY. Magic - worked great. But I move it 15ft away and it can't communicate. Which tells me I need to get the Lock to connect to neighbors. There used to be a function called "heal" in the 300 series board to do this, but I don't see a similar function. I've tried everything, but it comes down to not have a way to get other devices that are closer to the device add it to the routing. Any thoughts?

When we installed solar panels, I decided to add a egauge E3000. I think I have spent far too much at this point on energy monitors. I started with a "One Meter" 10 years ago, then Ted, then Brultech, and now an eGauge. The eGauge is the first system I would call robust and stand alone. While the Brultech has more user accessible features, it is so brittle, has archaic software, and so dependant on other hardware to be useful. It has since stopped working and I can't find the motivation to keep it working (software). The eGauge on the other hand is a next generation solution in comparison, but unfortunately the DIY community has not really discovered it, so there is virtually zero support in the systems I use. Universal should take note of their architecture and aspire to make their systems as self contained and bullet proof.
