Chris Jahn Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Please note: As part of Z-Wave Certification, the ISY-994 5.x series no longer supports the 300 Series Z-Wave board. Please check your upgrade discount eligibility and ordering instructions. If you have any other questions, please submit a support ticket Hello, The 5.3.4 Update is now available for the ISY994 product. This build is just a small update. It contains a fix for unit conversion in program conditions. As part of Z-Wave Plus certification, some incompatible changes were made that may cause issues when migrating from older versions of the ISY. We are looking at mitigating these issues in future builds. If you have a stable working system, you may want to wait before migrating. Guides Z-Wave Plus for ISY-994 Getting Started Z-Wave Plus for ISY-994 User Guide Z-Wave Plus for ISY-994 Advanced User Guide Notes - Upgrading to this version may require a lot of manual intervention including verifying scenes, programs and program settings are correct. In some cases it will be easier to rebuild your network. - If you are rebuilding your Z-Wave network, it is recommended that you Factory Reset the Z-Wave dongle prior to adding devices back into your Z-Wave network. - If you are upgrading from version 5.0.10 or earlier then Devices and programs are migrated in the current version. After upgrading: o Please ensure your device nodes and programs are correct; in some cases you may need to update them. o Wakeup your battery devices after the ISY has restarted and the initial query has finished - If you are upgrading from version 5.0.8 or earlier, you will have to manually update the Adjust Scene entries in all of your programs. - Starting in version 5.0.15A, the event value for the Low status of Insteon FanLinc Motor changed from 63 to 64 - If you have the climate module, please go here to choose a new weather service. Important User/Password changes: - If your current version is 5.0.7 or earlier, then after installing 5.0.8 or later your userid and password will be reset back to the system default. - If you restore a backup created from 5.0.7 or earlier, your userid and password will be reset back to the system default. - If you downgrade from version 5.0.8 or later to version 5.0.7 or earlier then after installing version 5.0.7 or earlier, you will have to Factory Reset the ISY and optionally install a backup taken in that version or earlier. Java runtime memory (when Admin Console is very slow to respond) - If the admin console is slow to respond, it is likely you need to increase the amount of memory allocated to the Java runtime (JRE). - Open the Java Control Panel, select Java tab, press View button, then add or modify the Runtime Parameter -Xmx to the following: o -Xmx512m - Press Ok to close the window, then Press Apply to save the changes Fixes in this build: 0000780 - Program conditions using values with different units and different precision may not work correctly in some cases Notes: - SSLv3 is now disabled. All models now support TLS1.2 and high grade cipher suites - 4.1.1 backups may corrupt Z-Wave configuration in case they are restored. 4.1.2 and above releases fix this issue - See our Wiki for additional information (e.g. Program Variables) Prerequisites: - If your ISY version is currently 4.x.x then it must be version 4.6.2 or higher (upgrade if necessary) before upgrading to 5.3.2 - The latest release of Java must be installed - If you are using MAC Yosemite and Java 1.8.40, please follow these instructions Install: 1. Backup your ISY (File | Backup ISY) - Do not backup from a version 3.1.6, or 4.1.1 system (there were bugs in those versions that caused the backup to be corrupted) 2. Make sure you have done everything in the Prerequisites section 3. Download firmware - ISY 994i Series including Z-Wave support - ISY 994i ZW, Z, or ZS Series (Z-Wave/Zigbee and/or if you do NOT have a PLM) 4. Login to the Admin Console and choose Help | Manually Upgrade [the name of your system] 5. Choose the file downloaded in step 3 6. After the upgrade, You must clear your Java Cache 7. Launch the 5.3.0 Admin Console and/or Dashboard by going to the following link: - https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp Note: If you have version 5.0.8 or lower installed on your ISY, then use this link instead: - http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/5.3.4/admin.jnlp Note: MAC 10.6.x users must use the following links instead - http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/5.3.4/admin16.jnlp (Admin Console) - http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/5.3.4/dashboard16.jnlp (Dashboard) 8. To launch the Admin Console directly from your ISY, go to the following link: - http://your.isy.ip.address/admin.jnlp 9. If you are using Z-Wave and upgrading from a 4.x.x or earlier version of the ISY, see Z-Wave migration from 4.x.x branch below 10. Backup your ISY (File | Backup ISY) Z-Wave migration from 4.x.x branch All Z-Wave nodes will be recreated when migrating from 4.x.x. Some nodes will have different addresses, and some devices will have a different set of nodes. In some cases, it is easier to rebuild your network rather than migrate. 1. Before moving to 5.3.0, in 4.x.x, Backup your Z-Wave Dongle and then Backup your ISY. 2. Replace the 300 Series Z-Wave board in your ISY with a 500 Series Board 3. Install 5.3.4 4. Start the Admin Console and Restore the Z-Wave dongle (will take the Z-Wave network you backed up in step 1, and writes it to the new 500 series board) 5. Do Z-Wave -> Synchronize Nodes -> All - Do not open ‘Programs’ tab until step 6. - This will add back all of the ISY nodes that were deleted at startup. - If you have multichannel devices, you will see more nodes added - After sync is complete, restart the Admin Console and go to step 6. 6. Open the programs tab - Most old Z-Wave device actions/conditions are automatically converted to the 5.3.0 framework - Make sure to visually check all programs that contain Z-Wave device actions or conditions. - Programs containing nodes from multichannel devices will have to updated - Node addresses for multichannel devices change from ZW003_143 style to ZW003_002_143 (where _002_ is channel number) - If everything looks good, save the program changes made by the migration. 7. Make an ISY Backup 8. If you are missing any Z-Wave devices you may have to exclude/include them again. For battery devices, make sure they have communications turned on and try doing a synchronize again. Support Thread for 5.3.4: 1 Link to comment
