There's not enough info to sort out your wiring issue, but remember that will Neutral is always White, White is not always Neutral.... that's particularly true with 3-ways... especially if they are more than a few years old. There's no wiring color standard for 3-ways, and there's about 14 different ways to wire a three way. On traditional switches the black screw is common and the other two screws (brass or silver colored) will be travelers. In most configurations the common at one of the 3-way switches will be Line, and the common at the other end will be load. That doesn't hold true tho when line goes to the fixture first. With 3-ways it's important to test and figure out which of the 14 wiring methods is in use before you take it apart. typically the clue is the black screws, one should be always hot whether the fixture is on or off, the black screw on the other switch is should be hot when the fixture is on, that's load. the other two wires are traveler... it's common for white to be a traveler and not neutral.

I just went back an re-read your question. I may have misinterpreted it before, i thought you were asking about dimming scene's with alexa, you really just wanted grouping.

I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096XH56FX/ they did ship from china, but arrived in about 15 days from date of order. the motor they use is a made by https://www.a-okmotor.com/ and includes the batteries in the motor unit. We may order more in the future, there's a couple places we could use them, so far they are just in the masterbath and bedroom.

At this point you don't need the "Pro" option of polisy, neither of the radio's (wifi or bluetooth) is implemented. If you need it in the future, I'm certain there will be an upgrade kit.

I have zigbee shades that include a tubular battery inside the roller. They only need charging about every 6 months so far.

for the fastest answer open a ticket, support@universal-devices.com as someone who reads the forum daily, I don't recall a similar question.

Except some services are still up. top levels of smarthome.com and insteon.com to name two.

You can replace your 994 hardware with ISY on Polisy. Your PLM connects to Polisy instead. The Admin console is still used as the user interface.

Yea there's another problem here for sure, and it would be better to solve that problem than up retries to 5, which will create a new issue.

For devices in scenes that i want to be able to dim specifically via Alexa I use helper programs. My helper programs have evolved since I originally wrote about this to take on some duties with Home Assistant, however a good place to start is this thread:

Oh perhaps i'm confused, could you give the link to the z-wave devices on lutron.com?

Free cloud services tend to go out of business.... and leave their users in the dark. oh. right. that's the #1 topic on this board right now...

Or buy a polisy and a 700 series z-wave dongle.

lutron isn't z-wave.

I use HA and ISY... very beneficial to me. The Universal Devices Integration is outstanding. When I started out HA was my front end (or mobile app) for the ISY... Since then I've gone places I can't go with ISY...like zigbee.

Bid Retracked:

There's actually 2 in PG2, I haven't looked to see if they are PG3 available or not. One is holidays, and the other is a google Calendar interface so that you can define your own. https://github.com/firstone/holidays-poly.git https://github.com/firstone/holidays-google-poly.git

There are 2 ads... one for no power and one for communication issues:

I understand now, and you did say it was a z-wave thermostat in the first post. The thermostat is reporting full degrees if it can be changed you need to dig into the thermostats documentation and see if there is a parameter that can be changed. If you need someone to assist with that then post the make/model of the thermostat. I'm going to request this thread get moved over to z-wave section, it's really a z-wave question.

UDI's mailing lists: https://www.universal-devices.com/my-account/ you'll need to login or create an account to get there.

If you want to pay instead of DIY, there's a guy on ebay... just type "PLM repair" in the ebay search box.

@oper8 is this a temp node generated by a node server? if so which Node server..... right now there are too many unknowns in your question to get the correct answer for your situation.

The reason you can only find dimmers is that the way two wire smart switches work is to "leak" current thru the bulb to complete the circuit required for communication. In the case of an ON/OFF switch it's not acceptable to leak current to thru the load to complete the circuit... OFF must be OFF, no trickle current.

@Westlake Ventures What make/model is the router? Is DHCP enabled?

ALso did you reboot the ISY after you moved it to the router? Unplug and plug back in....
