mmb Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Hi, our Canadian seller of UDI devices has ZMatter USB dongles in stock (supposedly). Does anyone know if the dongle can be disassembled (without destroying it) and the internal module used in the Polisy directly? This might be a way to get around the no availability no eta for the ZMatter module itself from the seller. Thanks.
Techman Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I believe that they had to break off part of the board in order to fit it into the enclosure. If that's the case, then it wouldn't mount properly in the Polisy 1

gdb Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 https://www.universal-devices.com/product/zmatter-usb-enclosure/UDI also sells the enclosure by itself if you have the zmatter board and want to convert it to usbHere is a pic of the individually purchased zmatter board on the right and where it fits without modification in the enclosure Edit: The enclosure kit also contains the antennas, I just didn’t put them in the picture.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
mmb Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 @gdb Double nuts, this was very helpful thanks! Oh well guess I’ll wait…
gdb Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I think the board inside the dongle will work perfectly in a polisy is what I was trying to communicate. It just plugs into the circuit board inside the dongle, and you will have to move the two antenna to the holes in the polisy chassis. I initially bought the board on the right for my polisy, then purchased the dongle to hold it.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1

You don't have to mount the board internally. 2

Does the dongle screw down or clip in? What was your reasoning for moving the module to the dongle? Maybe I’m missing something…
gdb Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Does the dongle screw down or clip in? What was your reasoning for moving the module to the dongle? Maybe I’m missing something…So the board screws into the dongle after clipping into the edge connector (the long white piece you see somewhat near the USB connector) the dongle then just plugs into the Polisy or Eisy.My plan was originally to migrate from my isy to the Polisy and install the board inside the Polisy. Then my Polisy hiccuped pre migration right as the eisy shipped, so I have received the eisy and migrated everything to it, zwave included via the dongle. Everything has been rock solid.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
