ZMatter antenna assembly?

[kurelgyer]

It's a bit frustrating to have to ask such a simple question, as there is not documentation I can find on it.

I just received the usb ZMatter dongle.  How am I supposed to know which antenna is ZWave and which is Zigbee?

 

The wiki link for Eisy / Zmatter takes you to an ISY 99/994 page that has nothing to do with Eisy / Zmatter.  The main page "Quick Links" has info for Getting Started with the ISY994 and Polisy - no mention of the Eisy.  It seems there is more mention of the ISY 99 than the Eisy.  Documentation and Wiki are sorely outdated.

I have attached the instructions for installing the USB ZMatter dongle.

Here is the link for migration instructions:

Read through the instructions, it contains information for ISY994 & Polisy migration and for eisy.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Only the .pdf applied to my issue.  How is one supposed to find this important information?  I spent over an hour fruitlessly searching so that I wouldn't get flamed for not searching myself.

The antennas are color coded, there should have been instructions that came with the Zmatter board that detailed the antenna placement.

The red banded antenna is Zigbee/Zmatter

I realize the pdf was what you were asking about. I supplied the migration link in case you needed it.

Instructions were provided on the board when the ZMatter dongle came out. I also seem to remember receiving instructions in the bag when I purchased the dongle.

There were no instructions with my ZMatter dongle.  Just the product and antennas in the box.  I saw the color coding on the antennas, but without instructions they were meaningless.

 

Thanks DennisC for that .pdf.  It really needs to be placed correctly on the wiki.

I noticed this too -- there need to be some printed instructions about the antenna colors included.  If its just silk screened on the board, folks who purchase the assembled version will never see those.

Yes this issue was annoying.  No instructions and colors were not that easy to fined.  Incase anyone is still looking, its as follows:

Yellow = Z-Wave

Red = Zigbee

 

It would be easy to just color code the words on the USB case to match the antenna ring color.
