Hi:

I have a new EISY (from a ISY994i) and I'm starting the transition from Insteon to ZWAVE. I have having a hell of a time creating native (direct) links between two devices using my new EISY with ZMATTER USB interface. (Note that I didn't have any ZWAVE devices on my ISY994i when I moved my config over to my new EISY- starting fresh with ZWAVE on the EISY.)

Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

I'm simply trying to link a ZooZ Zen32 to a simple plug in lamp dimmer (New One N4012) using a native (direct) link with my EISY. For the life of me I can't see to get the drop down options to actually do what I want. I only have Command, Default and Ignore options. It seems based on research that I should have other commands like on/off there to actually do something.

I have tried direct links with the scene buttons, Basic Assoc and the switch itself.... all with no avail. What am I missing?

Note, I know I can do the "3 button click" on each device to direct link them, but I don't want to do that since I've been spoiled with Insteon.

I'm running IoX v5.7.1.

Any ideas are super appreciated... I'm been banging my head on this for a while.

Did you click on command and see what options it gave you?

Yes, the only thing I got was "query". Not helpful in the least.

So I bought a ZooZ Zen32 800LR basic dimmer switch and tried again. Luckily this time I have commands now. (see below) but the switch still doesn't turn off/on the lamp dimmer. Still seems like the direct linking isn't working with EISY. Is this even possible?

Here is my scene:

Yes it is, and it works (though not as elegantly as an Insteon scene).  Here's a good thread describing how to set this up: 

 

 

THANK YOU @Bumbershoot! Somehow I missed that post in my searching. It solved my understanding problem!
