SKane Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Has anyone migrated from the original z-wave dongle to the new one? Release 5 does not support the old dongle. I decided that replacing the dongle in my 8 year old ISY was too risky, so I bought a second ISY with the new dongle already installed. I am finding it difficult to migrate, which probably means I am overcomplicating things, so I'm hoping someon can help. The new ISY shipped with 5.3.0. I restored my old ISY to it and then upgraded it to 5.3.4. I have 11 z-wave devices. I then restored z-wave and only 8 of them showed up. Of the 8 that I can see on the ISY list, five are labled "Unavailable" and nothing I have tried from the z-wave tools menu has changed that. What should I do now? The only opton I can think of is to relink the 8 devices that are not currently working, but that seems like a lot of work, given that the process I've tried to follow by backing up the z-wave dongle on my old system and (eventually) restoring it to the new one should avoid that.

Is your UI also 5.3.4, if not you need to update it, in that case be sure to clear your java cache including all applications before downloading the new (5.3.4) Admin Launcher Are the Zwave devices that won't restore battery or A/C powered? 1
