I updated an old (new out of the box) Polisy with the image reflash. All good, and easy enough.

 

But now need to do the same with another working Polisy (v13.0), running 5.4.4 and PG3 (with three weather nodes), with a serial PLM, and a large complicated Insteon network. It also has a plug in USB ZWave Zooz Stick 700 running a small number of ZWave.

Just to be sure, the correct steps would be:

0) Ensure good backups of IOX and PG3. I understand there are no backups of the Zooz stick, but the information should remain safe on the stick (?) for transfer.

Plan

1) Dissasemble and reflash mSATA card as per the previous UDI directions, and as I just completed on the other Polisy.

2) Start the Polisy up, let it boot, address it and select upgrade packages, reboot.

3) Enable PG3x.

3) Restore backup of IOX.

4) Restore backup of PG3. I believe that PG3 will now restore to PG3x, or should I leave the enabling of PG3x until AFTER the PG3 import?

5) Plug Zooz stick back in.

Questions

Will I also need to configure the PG nodes in the admin interface, or will these just come up?

Will the ZWave setup carry over, including having the devices properly keyed to the programming code?

Any other concerns or suggestions?

Thanks.

Be sure to do a full Zwave backup before an sY backup.

I don't believe there is any way to backup ZWave, when using the original Zooz stick.

Make a backup of your Z-Wave network (Admin Console | Z-Wave | Backup)

There is no such option, that I can see ...

It was my understanding that a UD Zwave dongle was required for a migration. I wasn't aware that no backup was available for the Zooz stick.

It was my plan to NOT migrate to the new ZWave board at present. Just wanted to get my Zooz stick working again, when I update PG/x and IOX.

Given that I'm on an old Polisy OS (v13.0), the easy upgrade procedure is not available, so have to wipe the mSATA card clean, restart/run the new OS, and then restore. A pain, but it is what it is.

So, my questions revolve around the Zooz ZWave dongle, and PG3/x. Restoring the IOX itself is dead simple, and not an issue.

I'd like to know as well as my brother just received his eisy and has a Zooz dongle for his few z-wave  devices👍

I have just sat on it, for now.
