brians Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 The upgrade looks trivial... its a mini PCI Express card and these just pop in with edge connector and some screws to secure to standoffs on the mainboard. Then mount the antennas on Polisy case and click in the antenna connectors onto the board. Since I have a Polisy already, and lots of Z-Wave devices, it is a no-brainer for me to upgrade to the Zmatter - especially with all the promised Z-Wave features; UD made it pretty clear that there is no more feature support for the Zooz dongle. The Polisy/Zooz combination will probably very soon become like the ISY994i with the old 300 series board where you have to use an older ISY firmware to make Z-Wave continue to work. This would explain why they offer to buy back your Zooz dongle, because it makes them less obligated from ongoing support. Of course, I could be wrong on all this, but since they are switching to new Z-Wave API I would not see them doing much more working on old version and having to be concerned back-porting new features breaking integration. Even if I was compelled to upgrade to an EISY in near future, I would still probably buy another ZMatter board for it. I would most likely re-sell Polisy, and having one without a ZMatter card would not make it as appealing to resell vs. a complete unit. 2 Link to comment
AnthemAVM Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Those that ordered, will they still be shipping in middle of November? Ready to ditch my ISY and go 100% Polisy. Thank you. Link to comment
Techman Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 The UD store website still shows shipping November 15th. Link to comment

Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk The Zmatter board plugs into an internal slot in the Polisy and uses external antennas. For the eisy the same Zmatter board is mounted in an external enclosure with a USB cable that plugs into the back of the eisy 1 Link to comment

Michel Kohanim Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hello all, unfortunately we had to change the ETA due to all the hoops we had to go through to get the units shipped. Currently, the shipment is in the Los Angeles area and scheduled to be delivered by 11/16 (DHL). We shall keep you up to date with all updates. With kind regards, Michel 1 2 Link to comment
brians Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Just got an email that is shipping tomorrow along with hardware installation instructions in the email. No indication yet how to upgrade ZWave for IoX... they say more instructions by Dec 1. 😂 Edited November 23, 2022 by brians 1 Link to comment
palayman Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Got notice that they were available in email. When I logged in to order it said some sort of discount was applicable if I logged in. Did that, but no discount. @Michel Kohanim Am I missing something? Best regards, Paul Edited November 23, 2022 by palayman Link to comment
AnthemAVM Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I think you needed to pre order to get a small discount. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 @palayman, Discounts are for developers and integrators. Also, we just paid 35% tariff on the shipment. It was quite painful ... currently, we barely break even. With kind regards, Michel 4 Link to comment

Michel Kohanim Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 @asbril, thank you but there was literally no way around it. The shipment came from Russia, and when we started, there were no tariffs. With kind regards, Michel 2 Link to comment
