ahagie Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Ive read the Forum, and it appears as though these are the simple steps, but I canget a reply from either sde. I have my ST Hub and my ISY 6 inches apart at best I put the ISY into Learn Mode I goto the ST interface and addd device, then click auto Detect. What am I missing? I know the ISY Can see ZeeeWave items becaseu I adde my August at ne time beffore Moved it to the ST. I cant run the Diag at the same time as adding the device as it wont let me...ideas?
ahagie Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 Ugh I was hitting the Close button instead of the Clear Button lol...Here is what I see, but it appears no info from the ST Hub
asbril Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 On a side note, what is or could be the benefit of having both a ST and a ISY ?
ahagie Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 Different user interfaces and apps, plus I can use insteon with Isy, not with ST.
simplextech Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 The Z-Wave connection will not allow the depth of interaction you are looking for and it's ONLY for Z-Wave devices. The typical usage of the master/slave controller is to allow the master controller visibility/control of the slave controllers Z-Wave devices. This is generally used in a migration scenario of being able to bulk add the devices from a previous controller to a new controller and then shifting the Master role to the new controller making it the Z-Wave network ID Owner. 1
ahagie Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 I literally just want to be able to add Zigbe devices to my ISY (I already have Insteon and Zigbee installed) . Can I do this by added the ST Hub to my isy? or vise versa?

Can I do this by added the ST Hub to my isy? or vise versa? ISY does not support ZigBee ZHA profile devices. There currently is no NodeServer to integrate ST directly. I have produced a Hubitat NodeServer which does integrate the Hubitat hub with ISY for devices. The current devices supported are limited because I do not posses every possible device. If you chose to get a Hubitat hub and use that nodeserver then I can work with you to include device support. 1

ahagie Posted May 20, 2019 Author Posted May 20, 2019 You Cant do Insteon, Zigbee AND ZeeWave on the ISY at he same timeY
simplextech Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Just now, ahagie said: You Cant do Insteon, Zigbee AND ZeeWave on the ISY at he same timeY You can run the ISY with Insteon and Z-Wave OR ZigBee at the same time. However the ISY ZigBee is really only useful for connecting to power meters (utility power meters) which "standard" ZigBee does not do. ST does Z-Wave and ZigBee ZHA. The only gain you get from ST is the ZigBee. However because ST is mostly cloud based all communications must go out to the cloud to ST then back to your ISY all through the cloud requiring a good internet connection ALL the time. Hubitat is essentially a ST "clone" that provides good Z-Wave and ZigBee capability and a ton of the device handlers from ST have been ported to Hubitat already. I wrote a nodeserver specifically for Hubitat to utilize the ZigBee capabilities from Hubitat from the ISY. You can use the Z-Wave also but why when the ISY can already handle the Z-Wave on it's own. The flip side is you could have an ISY with ZigBee for power meter use AND connect Hubitat to then also have Z-Wave and Zigbee ZHA..... That combination gives you everything from the ISY. Downside is that nodeservers are not well supported by the mobile apps (Agave/MobiLinc) at the moment. This will probably change as I post this out of curiousity... why are you writing it ZeeWave?
