fmk2 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I've migrated my ISY to the eISY, and all my Insteon units are working well. I now want to add a couple Z-Wave switches that I formerly controlled with a Hubitat via a Polyglot unit. So I purchased the Z-Matter USB option, and have plugged it into the eISY. I can see the "Z-Wave" menu drop-down in the AD, but I want to know if there's anything I need to do before adding Z-Wave devices. For example, on the Configuration->System tab, I have "Z-Wave Support" checked. But I also see a button labeled "Migrate to ZMatter Z-Wave". Since I wasn't using the ISY's internal Z-Wave, I assume I don't need to click that button because I have no existing Z-Wave devices to migrate, but is that a correct assumption? In short, my question is: What are the steps to take after plugging in a ZMatter USB and before adding Z-Wave devices? The lack of documentation on this is really frustrating, by the way. There really should be some installation instructions included with the unit, or at least a QR code link to online documentation. Maybe just plugging it in and clicking the "Z-Wave Support" checkbox is all there is to it, but there's no way to know that because it's not documented anywhere. Link to comment
fmk2 Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 Never mind... I decided to just go for it. I've been able to add one of the Z-Wave switches (enbrighten ZW3010) successfully after doing a factory reset on it. It seems to be working. Frank Link to comment
Techman Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 If I recall there are other options above or below the Migrate option, but I don't remember what they were. Once you click the correct option that menu will go away and your zwave will be fully operational. Link to comment
DennisC Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Since you are starting a new ZWave installation, you need to add your devices from scratch. Be sure to exclude before including a ZWave device. When you are done installing ZWave devices, go to the top level menu and do a complete ZWave backup, followed by a eisy backup under the file menu. Link to comment
