n8ur9irl Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Isy 994i version 5.2, zwave 21100Built an addition with new sub panel all ge zwave switches and outlets not being found. Tried excluding, resetting, placing an extender in an outlet in the room. Used an add on switch for the 3 way switch and it only stays on when you hold it down. I also tried rebooting isy. I also need to add that I just changed out the zwave dongle with the 500 and all other zwave switches and outlets work. There are approx 20 in the house.I would appreciate any help.Thank you Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to get the ISY closer to your ISY or your ISY closer to the devices you want to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlowingHair Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Since you have upgraded to the later z-wave board, I think you also need to upgrade the ISY to 5.3.x. IIRC, there were many issues in 5.2 and 5.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecheng70 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I have a unit behind my house that has its own sub panel with 6 zwave devices that work without issues. It's distance that will get you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Ge devices work great with the ISY. How close was it to your ISY? Does your firmware and UI match? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put in my first Z-wave devices, all GE. Had trouble getting the ISY to add them until someone suggested connecting them to short extension cord and adding them all to the ISY is close proximity to it before installing them in their final location. This worked great for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
