I have a EcoNET Bulldog water valve installed. This is a z-wave device that turns off my main water valve. It used to work with the ISY but the eisy cannot find it. I've turned off the S2 option but it still cannot find it. The company is saying that the issue is that the eisy cannot link to the EVC200 control module.

Anyone have any experience like this? The "solution" is a new one that is matter over wifi for $100.

What controller and what controller firmware are you running

What is the model number of the valve

How far is the controller from the valve

How many non-battery operated zwave devices do you have in your system

Did you exclude it before trying to include it on the Eisy Zwave??

This is the kind of thing you should open a support ticket with UD on. Chris would be able to determine if it can be linked to UD device, or maybe even make a small tweak to make it so.

The EVC200 is Zwave certified so it should work assuming you have a viable zwave network

Yes, you should definitely try that first.

@raydoc , looks like you previously had an ISY994. That being the case, the EISY should be able to find your EVC200 ASSUMING it's in range.

Unfortunately the valve appears to be "z-wave plus" or z-wave 500 series. Not the best for range and very difficult if you don't have a robust mesh. Newer 700/800 series devices are greatly improved.

Since you obviously can't move your valve closer to the EISY, try moving the EISY close to the valve as shown in the users manual below. You should absolutely try excluding the valve 1st since previous excludes will not have worked with the EISY out of range.
