Pick your version depending on whether your system has a  PLM or not

@larryllix Version 5.0.16 has been depreciated and version 5.3.4 is the most current and can be found here. Read the instructions carefully. There are things you will most likely need to update manually.

@kzboray-- not so fast.

Warning: Install 5.0.16C if you have a 300 series Z-wave Board.

If your ISY has no z-wave board, or has a 500 Series Z-wave board then it's okay to go up to 5.3.4

How to tell.  Open the admin console and look for a Z-wave menu across the top.

If there is no z-wave menu, the ISY doesn't have Z-wave, proceed to 5.3.4

If there is a Z-wave menu check the z-wave version (last item on the Z-wave menu)

4.55.00 = 300 series Z-wave... Install 5.0.16C and do not go further.  Also note that a user coming from v4.x at this point is the game most likely has this version if they have z-wave.

6.81.00 = 500 series Z-wave... Install 5.3.4 and keep up to date going forward.

A few additional notes:

1) In addition to making an ISY backup (and z-wave backup if appropriate) before you start also make a TEXT backup of your programs.  Open the programs tab and click the top folder (usually My Programs) then right click it  and choose "Copy Folder to Clipboard"... now open any simple editor that won't add formatting (notepad on windows is perfect) and paste.  Now save the file.

2) It's in the instructions but everyone misses it, after the upgrade the admin console login credentials will be reset to admin/admin

3) Immediately upon logging back after upgrade in go to Help > About and verify that your Firmware and UI versions are the same... If they are NOT... Do not pass Go... you MUST fix the UI version so that it matches the firmware.  I'd recommend using the ISY Launcher as discussed here.

4) Next, open the "Programs" tab, then "Summary" sub-tab. If you see the color YELLOW anywhere, that program needs to be manually fixed.   It probably has the "Adjust Scene" function.  NOTE: if you ignored step 3 above, you won't get past this step.  Manually fixing programs that didn't convert is why you did step 1 above.

Hi 

I may be half asleep, but I still don't see a download link to download any firmware versions.

I don't have Zwave, just a couple of dozen Insteon light and outlet controllers. I don't have the system connected to the internet because I didn't ever need it.

Click on the link I provided in my post above and scroll down to the Install section. There you should see two links that will get you the choice we have been posting about, with PLM, and without PLM.

Excellent. I found it and installed it. Everything is working fine. 

Thank you very much. Sorry to be so much trouble.

Upgrade process is convoluted. No clue why it can't auto be done through the software...

The firmware upgrade from 4.x.x to 5.3.4 is significant and requires user intervention. You'll need to check and verify all your programs and scenes.
