Dennis Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 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
lilyoyo1 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 4.6.2 doesn't support multi channel. You have to use the 5.0 branch. The current version is 5.0.12
Dennis Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 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
MWareman Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 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.
Dennis Posted March 24, 2018 Author Posted March 24, 2018 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
Michel Kohanim Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 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
Dennis Posted April 1, 2018 Author Posted April 1, 2018 I took the plunge and I'm quite happy with the 5.0.x branch. Thanks for all the guidance! Best Dennis
