Posted December 19, 20222 yr Apologies if this has been covered, I could only find speculation... Given the uncertainly of when a z-wave migration script from Zooz to ZMatter will be available, will the Zooz USB stick work with eisy, or will z-wave support on eisy be 100% dependent on the ZMatter board? (Meaning if we're waiting on a script to migrate, we won't be able to switch to eisy when it ships?) Thanks!

December 27, 20222 yr @Michel Kohanimtold me yes but I could not get a restore from Polisy to work on my eisy and Michel had to do some remote magic so I could even start from scratch with my eisy. I'm about 3/4 of the way through my Insteon and not sure if I will even bother with my 6 Z-Wave items until I get my ZMatter board.
December 27, 20222 yr As tazman pointed out, it will work. However, you won't be able to take advantage of advanced zwave features such as ota updates, associations, S2 security, and more. Your board will simply send and receive zwave signals. Additional capabilities will not be added.
December 27, 20222 yr Will the advanced zwave features be available if you use the Polisy+ZMatter? Will the migration tool allow Zooz -> ZMatter migration on the Polisy, without having to purchase the eISY? Since the Polisy is supposed to be supported until 2025, I am considering just running it for as long as possible instead of purchasing the eISY. (Unless there is a compelling reason to upgrade). If history repeats itself, the eISY could be replaced by something else within 2-3 years anyways.
