Yakker Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Good Evening Automators! So I upgraded my firmware to version 5.0.8 to see if it handles Z-wave any better than 4.5.4 did (because it was awful) and now I've seemingly added my door lock to the z-wave network and it has in fact "stuck" this time instead of immediately falling off the proverbial wagon into deep space (yey). HOWEVER, I now have a problem where any of my Z-wave devices throw a "Error: Not implemented" code... What does that mean? clearly I have the Z-wave module (hard-coded chip) and Z-Wave software to control it (with appropriately updated firmware (4.55)) and all modules are up to date (supposedly). After my Upgrade to 5.0.2 I had to factory reset to access the admin console, change the admin password back to its original (for Home Assistant configs to work properly), then install the new 5.0.8 firmware, then restore from backup to get my devices and programs. All other devices and programs imported just fine, the Z-Wave on the other hand... Z-Wave has never been nice to me, and I'm not sure if it is UDI's implementation of it or that Z-Wave is really this difficult to work with, but it has certainly left a sour taste in my mouth. Is anybody else having MAJOR issues with adding/maintaining basic Z-Wave devices on their ISY 994i/ZW/IR/Pro device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 If you installed your Kwikset in version 4 did you perform a z-wave backup before an ISY backup back in v4.5.4? The z-wave backup is contained in the ISY backup but only if you first do a z-wave backup. Not sure if this might be a contributing factor to your problem. I am not running v5 software yet since it is still in alpha so have not experienced these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWareman Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 You appear to have a 'Repeater' listed. Is it an 'Aeon Repeater'? I had tons of issues with my two Kwikset locks with those repeaters in my zwave network. I had to remove them and replace with other devices to strengthen the zwave network. Try an Aeon Siren instead - it properly supports the command classes needed for zwave locks to work properly. (Assure, my locks are working perfectly on 4.x). Zwave issues are usually caused by a weak mesh of devices not properly supporting the protocol. Fix that, and it's likely your issues will go away (even staying on 4.x).

Michel Kohanim Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi Yakker, Based on the error code, it might be that your UI is not 5.0.8. Please check it (Help | About). With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakker Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Good Evening, Michel!! Spot on diagnosesI followed this guide to a proverbial "t" (http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/20686-release-508-alpha-is-now-available/) and I uh... can't find a UI DL (I dont remember having to DL it before (but that doesn't mean I didn't either)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start at step 6 in the link above to clear your Java cache and download the right version of the Admin Console in step 7. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakker Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 THANKS!! I deleted my cache (again), deleted all instances of downloaded admin.jnlp that I've acquired, re-downloaded it fresh, installed it and that updated my UI. I'll report back tomorrow on the over-all state of Z-Wave on ISY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakker Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Update: ISY's Z-Wave integration just isn't ready for prime-time. Nothing seems to make my ISY control my door. I will be integrating my Z-wave door with my Home Assistant via a Z-Stick. I am sorry I spent the extra money on the Z-wave version of the ISY , oh well, live and learn right?

Until you fix that, locks won't work well at all. It's not the ISYs fault - many of us (myself included) have long had great success with zwave locks on the ISY.
