grahamk Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 With the advent of 5.0.3 software, I am hoping that something like this is now usable: http://www.amazon.com/Enerwave-ZWN-SC7-7-Button-Controller-Frequency/dp/B00RY4LRTS Do items like this, or the aeon minimote basically send a trigger signal that the ISY can pick up and run a program, or do they work in some different way? I am hoping it is as simple as that.... ?? Thanks, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asbril Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Graham Great question and I am wondering the same thing. This would (for me) resolve the Lutron patent issue with some my switches and allow, for instance, to create a scene in ISY to switch ON or OFF all 6 lights in my living room by adding the Enerwave Scene controller. I look forward to the response to your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asbril Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Graham, After some research I believe that ISY 5.03 is NOT compatible with the Enerwave Scene controller as it is ZWave multi-channel. In the notes of the 5.03 Beta realese, I found the following comment " I am very happy to announce that 5.0.2 Beta Release. Unfortunately - and as much as we tried - Z-Wave multi channel turned out to be a little more complicated than we had anticipated and thus we had to exclude it from this build lest it would make everything unstable. " As such, I conclude that we need to wait for an update with multi-channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamk Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I ordered a minimote. Will be very interested in hearing if the scene controller works as advertised, that would be very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asbril Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Graham and Kohai, I just realized that I have 5.02 and don't find 5.03 on the web site . Can you pls give me the link to 5.03 ? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ! http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/18368-release-503-alpha-is-now-available/ I recommend fully reading this thread as the upgrade path is not smooth for this alpha version. I only had 3 z-wave devices so it was ok for me (you have to recreate your z-wave related programs by hand). Note that there are 2 posts by Michel that are required to really upgrade/transition. There is some argument to waiting for 5.0.4 but I'm happy with 5.0.3 since I had such a basic isy setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asbril Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Kohai, you are very right. The upgrade to 5.03 is complicated and did not work for me as all ZWave devices disappeared from Administrative Console. Probably better to wait for 5.04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade to 5.03 is complicated and did not work for me as all ZWave devices disappeared from Administrative Console. Probably better to wait for 5.04 Yeah, you have to follow the instructions closely. There's a step in there to heal the network or rediscover them again. It's a bit of a forklift upgrade right now. I've been sitting around waiting for it and had so little setup on my isy that I have been able to move forward with a couple z-wave projects now that the multi-channel is functional.

Michel Kohanim Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hello everyone, Sincere apologies for 5.0.3 not being fully migration ready yet. We are working on it as we speak and are hopeful to have it ready very soon. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamk Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Out of the gate it looks like the new version has some issues - people are reporting minimote issues specifically, which is unfortunate news. I'm thinking about buying an Aeon Z-wave USB dongle ($40) for the multichannel stuff, running openremote, and feeding the ISY state variables that can trigger programs based on things like minimote or scene controllers being triggered. I think that would mean that i have 2 zwave meshes in my house though - not sure if that would work. Anyone done anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Kohanim Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi grahamk, 5.0.3 is alpha and we are actively working on getting all the issues resolved. The most important thing is that multi-channel is now supported and we should have a stable framework soon. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramacher Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 5.0.2 did NOT have multi-channel but 5.0.3 does. I've been testing it since it was released a couple days ago and my multi-channel devices are working. How did you get the enerwave SC7 to work ? I still have issues with the device being correctly detected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asbril Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 On my end,i have received the scene controller but will wait to install it until the next 5.0 upgrade Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamk Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'm sitting on a scene controller and a minimote. I ordered an Aeon USB stick zwave controller because it seems to be something i will need in the future anyway. I'm thinking of using it with openremote or some other program and linking the multichannel stuff to it, then calling ISY via REST and setting state variables when the scene controller and minimote are used to trigger programs.

asbril Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Today I installed the Enerwave 7-button scene controller. Having read about the migration issues of 5.03, I am still at 5.02 and was hoping that the Enerwave ZWN-SC7-W Z-Wave Wireless 7-Button Scene Controller would work as a simple one scene controller. However the Scene Controller is not recognized by the Administrative Console and I will have to wait for the improved 5.03. I also ordered the Aeon Minimote and expect the same result. The Enerwave ZWN-SC7-W Z-Wave Wireless 7-Button Scene Controller looks neat in the wall box and if I get it to work in 5.03, then I will place another three of these in my home.

andyf0 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Michel, Has Mobilinc been tested for 5.03 Beta (when it comes out) ? I can tell you that MobiLinc crashes upon launching when using 5.0.3 (ALPHA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyf0 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I retract my previous statement. Uninstalling and re-installing MobiLincHD seems to work well apart from a thermostat display issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkorb Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I too am waiting for 5.0.4. Just wondering, if I have an Insteon Scene Controller (KeyLink), would that allow me to control z-wave switches in scenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldn't try until there is a relatively stable 5.x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
