Dumb question but Im an insteon user. Have an eisy running 6.0.4 but am not seeing how to add Z-wave (its set to auto on the config screen)

Reason is that I just bought the Zooz Titan valve actuator to turn the water supply on and off and need to figure out how to connect to it. I am a TOTAL Z-wave newbie and dont recall anymore if the EISY came with Z-wave.

Thanks and be patient with a Zwave newbie

You could either get a Zooz usb stick, or the UDI ZMatter dongle (it does Zwave and Zigbee) to add Zwave functionality to your eisy. It's not built-in. The ZMatter dongle might not currently in stock.

Looking at the UDI store I dont see that their dongle is in stock. Im going to get the Zooz 800 series USB and see how it goes

Bought the Zooz 800 Zwave stick and plugged in - restarted with the setting on Auto. Nothing. In the wiki it says they are migrating to ISY only Zmatter USB - but its out of stock

Really frustrating. If Ihave to use the ISY one (ok with me) - then at least have it available

To be sure, set the Z-wave support to "On" in Configuration, click on Save, and then reboot your eisy. Once that is done, what happens when you click on the Zwave menu at the top of admin console? Do you get a menu? If yes, click on "Add a Zwave device" and try adding your device. If nothing happens, you might need to do "Remove a Zwave device" first to reset your device, then try adding it.

Slightly off topic, but thinking about adding zigbee/matter dongle. Does it come with antennas? Hoping to interface Kasa Matter energy monitoring Plugs.

Yes, two antennas: zigbee and zwave. The dongle isn't used for Matter, well not yet. If it does eventually, it would likely eliminate the need for a border router for Thread devices.
