adamthp Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Am I loosing it, or wasn't there an option to buy a Zigbee radio to install into an existing ISY? I see the smart meter Zigbee radio for sale, but I'm looking to integrate my Brultech GEM that just arrived. Thanks!
paulbates Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 I think there are 2 things going on here. There is a brultech add-on module you'll find in the Admin Console under Help / Purchase modules There's an Zigbee SEP 1.1 Certified add on card option you can plug into your ISY so it can talk to your AMI smart meter. There are 2 add-on modules that go with that under Purchase Modules Open Auto Demand/Response Module Utility Meter Module Its important to know that if you already have a card in your ISY for zwave (or other card) this won't work, the ISY has only 1 card slot in it. If you are insteon only, you'll be fine If you are interested in a Zigbee SEP 1.1card and can't find one, let me know. I got an ISY ZS with the card in it with the intention of hooking it up, and my power company will not let me associate with my meter. I can see it, but I can't authenticate. Paul
adamthp Posted February 20, 2019 Author Posted February 20, 2019 For some reason I had it in my head that there were two different Zigbee radios, one specially for smart meters and then a different one... I would happily be wrong here. Module, check! This ISY has no z wave card, so all good there. Thanks for the help!
paulbates Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 There is a standard zigbee card as a separare product, for consumer zigbee. My uinderstanding is that it primarily udi supports it for a few RCS thermostats. I don't know either way if it connects with bruhl. @Michel Kohanim? Paul

Paul @Michel Kohanim, could you confirm that the Zigbee SEP 1.1 card is the correct card to integrate a GEM? Thanks!
Michel Kohanim Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 @adamthp, Noooo. SEP is for Smart Meter integration. Also, if you already have Z-Wave, then you will have to choose between the two. With kind regards, Michel
adamthp Posted February 25, 2019 Author Posted February 25, 2019 Hey @Michel Kohanim I have an ISY with no Zwave lined up for this. Which zigbee radio do I need for the GEM, and can you purchase just the radio card? Thanks!
Michel Kohanim Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Hi @adamthp, You need High Powered Zigbee radio but it's not on the website since we are phasing out due to extremely low sales volumes. Please send your request with the shipping address to sales@universal-devices.com. With kind regards, Michel
