Posted March 23, 20187 yr Relatively new to ISY... I just added one of these to my ISY UD94 v.4.6.2 with Zwave 21100. It doesn't show up as a mutlichannel device -- it just shows up as one just switch. I've excluded and re-added, etc. Ideas? Thanks! Dennis
March 23, 20187 yr 4.6.2 doesn't support multi channel. You have to use the 5.0 branch. The current version is 5.0.12
March 23, 20187 yr Author Thanks - good to know there's a solid reason. Is this branch stable enough for a newbie to move to or should I wait? Dennis
March 23, 20187 yr 5.x is still Alpha (feature incomplete, and likely presence of bugs affecting the WAF).That said, plenty have a good experience with it.Take a good backup of your current install and give it a try. If something breaks - put back your current version and restore your backup.
March 24, 20187 yr Author Many thanks... I'm sure these are newbie questions... If I backup the Zwave dongle then backup the system, will that preserve my Zwave network config if I need to reset/restore? Same real question - if I want to update to the 5.x branch, what do I do to preserve/restore the Zwave network? Sorry to ask such basic questions... Dennis
March 25, 20187 yr Hi Dennis, If you backup your Z-Wave dongle, everything in the dongle is preserved. Then, when you backup ISY, your Z-Wave backup is also included. In case you have to restore your Z-Wave | Dongle (it is not necessary to do so if all you are doing is upgrading to 5.0x), then all you do is Z-Wave | Tools | Restore. With kind regards, Michel
April 1, 20187 yr Author I took the plunge and I'm quite happy with the 5.0.x branch. Thanks for all the guidance! Best Dennis
