T.Schellenberg Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I'm also having this problem. I thought it was my z wave board so I ordered a replacement and same issue. Serial number is 00121## Link to comment

I also ordered a Z Wave board as it appeared that it was toast... It is an issue with (apparently older) ISY units and .16B. Let's hope .16C fixes it. Link to comment

I also tried this with 5.0.14 and same error. I was able to downgrade to 4.7.3. I factory reset the ISY, used UI v4 instead of v5 and was able to get 4.7.3 to load completely. Z-Wave was back working again. I did a backup restore and all Z-Wave devices working correctly. Now I just need to know how to upgrade to 5.0.16B without losing Z-Wave functionality. Link to comment

With kind regards, Michel ISY is several years old. The SN is #0015407 ISY-994iZ/IR PRO I've had issues prior to the update so I'm wondering if the ISY is just too old Link to comment

I think I'll wait until somebody figures out what .16B does that breaks Z Wave completely for some ISY users before trying it again. @telljcl, is it possible that you installed the wrong firmware? Which firmware did you install? With kind regards, Michel Link to comment

With kind regards, Michel Thanks - I installed the one labeled "ISY 994i including Z Wave Support", or the first of the 2 download options. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 @telljcl, Are you certain your PLM was also connected and that ISY was not in Safe Mode? With kind regards, Michel Link to comment

With kind regards, Michel Certain. Thanks File I used to install is: Insteon_5.0.16B.zip... Insteon was working fine with 16B as far as I could see (but didn't test extensively). And there was a "Z Wave" item on the menu bar at the top of Admin Console - just if you clicked on it there was a red exclamation and "Z Wave Dongle not responding..." and an option to "Update Firmware" - which didn't work.

T.Schellenberg Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 So this happened to me when I upgraded to 5.0.16B I tried replacing my z wave card. Nothing. I have downgraded to .14 and .13. Both have not worked. I only have 3 z wave door locks so I didn't think it would be necessary to do a backup. I have tried to factory reset all the door locks and nothing. I cant get anything to connect anymore. Any ideas? Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 @T.Schellenberg, Please try Z-Wave | Exclude first before Z-Wave | Include. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
handyman300 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I am in the process of setting up a new house. My daughter moved houses so I am doing a clean install. I did a factory reset first, then loaded up 5.0.16B. Z-Wave works fine. Serial # 13042. The difference between this and my previous upgrade was that I did not do a factory reset first, I needed to keep my ISY settings so I upgraded to 5.0.16B and then Z-Wave did not work. During the restore process, I did a factory reset but on 4.7.3 then upgraded to 5.0.16 (not B.) and Z-Wave is working fine. I will wait to upgrade to 5.0.16B until this is all sorted out.

Factory reset the lock and then did an include. I had to put 2 of the locks right next to the ISY in order for the ISY to find them and then relocated them back to the doors. All locks are working fine now. I am currently on 5.0.16 for this house. Link to comment

Some oems such as Yale are able to use network wide inclusion but that's firmware dependent Link to comment

I have a long ethernet cable just for doing this so I can take the ISY close to the locks. If you haven't installed the locks, it's easier to do the programming at the ISY before putting them in the doors... Link to comment

Some oems such as Yale are able to use network wide inclusion but that's firmware dependent That is not entirely true. Before I had any wired zwave devices, there were 3 battery operated door locks (kwikset) and two motion sensors (monoprice). Two of them were able to connect up to the ISY without any issues. The 3rd was the farthest at 3 walls and 40 feet. I have since wired all the switches in my house with zwave and healed the network. Have not had an issue with the locks, window/door sensors or motion sensors (all battery operated). The one thing that got me was excluding before inclusion. The battery ones are sometimes tested at the factory and not excluded. I religiously exclude and include and have not had any issues. How many wired zwave devices do you have in the house. If none, then consider a wired zwave repeater, outlet or switch. Link to comment

Thanks for the advice though I'm not the one having issues. The advice you e given is something I do on every install, (I actually add and test prior to installation as a general rule anyway regardless of protocol. In answer to your question, I have about 25 -30 zwave devices in my own home but have installed hundreds as I do installations as well. Link to comment

The question about number of devices was directed to the user with that made it sound like he only has 3 zwave devices. Link to comment
Charlie_Morlock Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I upgraded from 5.0.16 to 5.0.16b, and now am experiencing the exact same issue. With this happening to multiple users, it 'feels as if it may be a software issue rather than hardware.I did install z-wave version, and have the 300 board.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using Tapatalk Link to comment

I had to go back to .14 and all is fine for now. Thanks. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 @telljcl, The issue is a conflict between mod21011 (electricity meter module) and the Z-Wave dongle. If you are NOT using the electricity module, disable it and everything should work. This has already been fixed in the next release. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment

With kind regards, MIchel Well I had the issue, and I don't use the electricity module or an RCS thermostat. I didn't look to see if somehow the electricity module got "checked" on (do you have to buy that?) when I tried .16B, but unless it enabled itself I've never even looked at that tab in the Admin console. I checked it when you replied here, and it is not enabled - as expected - but of course I'm back on .14 now so my Zwave will work... Link to comment
