Is any information available on how to setup or configure eisy to control Matter devices?  I've enabled it via the Admin Console and can see "Matter" in the menubar, but I'm not quite sure how to go about adding devices.  Also - does the network connection from eisy need to be WiFi to work with Matter, or can I continue to use a wired network connection? 

Wired ethernet is probably the better way for your controller to be connected to your network. In fact, the release announcement says:

-- Polisy does not support Matter when connected using WiFi.

For those with apparently bricked Polisys, how did you upgrade it: wifi or wired? Just looking for any common denominator.

Polisy updated fine. It took around 33 minutes to complete. I have around 15 plugins running. Wired connectivity.

Looking for advice, please. Can't get 4 nodes to restart: Wemo, Nest, Sonos and Blink. Tried multiple reboots, restart node attempts. Thanks.

Follow up: I restored Polygot V3 from the backup file and it's all working again. I didn't see this mentioned in the prior posts. If it was, sorry.

Should see something like this at the top (before upgrade it said 13.1 instead of 14.1):

3. If you have never upgraded your unit, it's best to make sure you have release 13.1 or 13.2 of the OS (https://eisy.local:8443/WEB/sysconfig.txt). If you do not, please do not upgrade.

Trying to read the instructions and follow them too!

Looked about to find the Polisy OS version and can't find it. Please help?

Just to add. 
 

you should be able to load that address in your browser and it should output a report. 
 

in the report it should look like what bobm99 showed

Thanks guys,   I changed eisy to polisy as I did last time and this time I got a much more detailed report. My first attempt gave a much shorter, truncated report. 

Weird, I'm going to put it down to I messed up first time.

Seems I'm good to go!

Interesting, that’s the second bricked Polisy.

Anyone with a Polisy that updated properly?

I have Polisy, have not gotten the courage yet to do this update.  I have so much dependent on it and don't want it to go down.  

However, a good while ago, perhaps 2 years ago, I seemed to have "bricked" my polisy.  UD sent me a boot loader to plug into the PCB and that brought it back to life.  I still have that boot loader chip which makes me feel like perhaps I could still recover my Polisy in the event I do this update and it goes sideways on me.

upgraded Polisy wired and was on 13.2 can ping it but no ssh

That's known (and hopefully fixed soon) but in the meantime, you can do:

ssh admin@<ipaddress>

Wired…. 300$ upgrade to eisy for me unfortunately.

That may be smart.  At least the Matter part is alpha software, which basically means "proof of concept," not ready for prime time, and not officially supported yet.  It must be every developer's nightmare when their alpha software gets out into the wild.  People screaming for support…

Well the Polisy is still officially supported. I'd get it back in order with UDI support and keep it as a spare.

All said and done, I a still waiting to know “HOW to ADD Matter DEVICES” anyone can help me with this ?

For now it's in the phone app. Seems the update for iPhones isn't available yet (I have android).

Quick question, does my zwave internal board mount internally in eisy or do I need the external enclosure?

For the eisy it's with the external enclosure.

I had polisy "brick" a couple years ago and UD mailed me a boot loader chip that I plugged into some terminals on the PCB which recovered polisy. Probably that solution still works. 

Universal Devices Team, when can we have ETA for being able to add Matter devices using iPhone or Admin Console ?

I'll add a couple of questions to that. 

- Where does the Zmatter dongle fit into this?

 - A while back, Philips Hue updated their hubs to be Matter compatible. Does this mean we should be able to add Hue bulbs (now, or later) as Matter devices?

Seamless upgrade for me...took ~10 minutes.  I did the SSD upgrade a while back so might explain the speed.

The Matter support is a work in progress. The current release is beta and only supports a limited number of devices. 

Initial support for light bulbs and plugin modules:
-- WiFi direct.
-- WiFi through a Border Router such as Google Nest Hub or Apple HomePod.
-- Thread through a Border Router.

The current release of the UD Mobile app supports Matter
