Migrating over from Indigo

[macrhino]

I am migrating over from Indigo to an ISY994IZW Pro due to Echo integration. I am using a Aeotec s2 dongle on the Mac running Indigo. I was wondering how to migrate my Z-wave devices without going from device to device. 

I issued a couple of commands and nothing I could do would get the ISY to see the z-wave devices. 

I decided to wait and tackle the problem a little later. When I logged on to the ISY today all of my devices were on the ISY including some old inactive ones on the Aeotec. 

But even stranger for me is that the Z-wave menu is different (See screen shot below). When I select "Stop adding or removing a Z-wave device" nothing happens.

Any ideas?

The instruction for migrating from any system to ISY is the same. Factory reset each device that has that capability and add devices one at a time, clearing any existing links. Any other method is likely to cause frustration down the line.

 

If you haven't done that, the best advice is to start over.

Hi macrhino,

 

Your ISY is not the primary controller. That's why you see that menu. Please see instructions here:

Thanks you Michael. 

I see the instructions and this helped a lot. But how do I make it become the primary controller? And will this wipe the existing configuration?

Maybe I will deal with these as I use Z-wave relays and it involves building out the switches and pressing a button which I do not want to do unless forced.

Hi macrhino,

With kind regards,
