Switch to ZMatter with Manual Migration


vbPhil

Recommended Posts

So, the z-wave migration from ZooZ Dongle to ZMatter didn't work for me. I'm tired of waiting on UDI to fix things. What's the best approach to do the migration manually.

Is it?

  1. Backup IoX.
  2. Exclude all z-wave devices from the ZooZ dongle one by one.
  3. Select Configuration/Migrate to ZMatter Z-Wave button.
  4. Select "Start using the ZMatter Z-Wave + Beta dongle without migration."
  5. not sure what happens after that

I factory reset my ZMatter dongle and started clean.  A plus of factory resetting the dongle (for us OCD types) is that the devices you include will start over with device numbering (the first device you include will be ZY 002xxx).

For me, item 2 in your list would be to factory reset the ZMatter dongle.

You don't have to exclude any devices using the Zooz dongle, as you can exclude them using the ZMatter dongle.  You'll have to exclude each device prior to being able to include it.

Item 5 would be to start the exclude/include process.  I see that UD Mobile now has the ability to Add/Remove Z-Wave devices, so it might be simpler to use that interface instead of having to run back an forth from the device to the computer that has the AC running.

I think the best idea is to start the exclude/include process with devices that are physically closer to the ZMatter board.

Do you mean resetting the ZooZ dongle? My ZMatter Board is installed internally to Polisy and not a USB Dongle, or do you call that a dongle as well?

I mean the ZMatter board.  I'd leave the Zooz dongle alone.

Well, right now I have the ZooZ dongle and ZMatter installed. I wonder what the AC menu item to reset the dongle is referring to, the ZooZ dongle or the ZMatter board?

Guess I'll give this a try.

  1. Backup IoX.
  2. Power off Polisy and remove ZooZ dongle.
  3. Power up run AC
  4. Select AC Configuration/Migrate to ZMatter Z-Wave button.
  5. Select "Start using the ZMatter Z-Wave + Beta dongle without migration."
  6. AC gets shut down so restart it. Credentials are reset, login with admin/admin. Insteon checkbox is unchecked, recheck and restart ISY.
  7. goes into System Busy while updating Insteon device status. taking a long time, about 10 minutes
  8. Reset Admin credentials.
  9. Exclude/Include Z-Wave devices
