  1. Link to Q and A with Insteon. Running time is 1 hour. Includes new product updates. Passcode Required - Zoom Passcode: y=w4U5mP
  2. You can't use a static IP address. You need DHCP enabled in the router, and you can then use a reserved IP address for the EISY in the router.
  3. Is the battery operated remote the only option you have to connect your blinds to the EISY. Can you connect your motors directly to the EISY without the remote. I'm thinking that the remote is the Zwave to the Somfy RTS interface, and if that's the case then your remote needs to wakeup in order to report the blind status to the EISY, which is why it wakes up every 3 minutes.
  4. Appartently Bali incorporates ZDMI technology into the somfy motors. Here's what I've found. As to why your remote is waking up every 3 minutes, I don't have an answer. It's best to talk to Bali customer service. Somfy makes a Z-Wave Digital Motor Interface (ZDMI) that converts Z-Wave signals into motor commands for Somfy motors. The ZDMI can be used to retrofit existing motorized window coverings. How does the ZDMI work? The ZDMI connects directly to the motor for power It receives Z-Wave transmissions from a home automation system It converts the Z-Wave transmissions into motor control commands It receives feedback from the motors and sends it back to the Z-Wave network ZDMI compatibility The ZDMI is compatible with Somfy's Sonesse 50 ILT2 (AC) and Sonesse 30 RS485 (DC) motors It can be used to integrate Z-Wave control to existing motorized window coverings It can be used to control up to one motor at a time ZDMI technical specifications Maximum range: 75 feet, Operating temperature range: Ambient, Frequency: 908 MHz,
  5. Do you have Bali or do you have Somfy blinds? In your previous posts you mention Somfy, and in your last post you mention Bali. They use different protocols. I'm only familiar with Somfy.
  6. Somfy has always used a technology called RTS (Radio Technology Somfy) which is an RF protocol. It's also possible that the Somfy RF technology uses Zigbee. I'm not aware of a Zwave Somfy motor. The Somfy blinds always required a RTS to Zwave interface. It's possible that whoever installed your blinds also installed an interface. It's probably best to speak with your installer. How are you controlling your blinds, are you only using the battery operated remote that came with the motors?
  7. What interface are you using between the shades and the EISY, i.e. ZRTSI
  8. Here's an example If you want to partially disable the light sensor (see attached screen shot example): Put the sensor into the lnking mode In your EISY on the tri-sensor device window: Set parameter number to 24 Set parameter value to 32767 Set byte size to 2 Then click on set configuration I use the Zooz temperature and humidity sensors. They're small and compatible with the EISY Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range XS Temperature | Humidity Sensor ZSE - The Smartest House
  9. You can't use the setting parameters from another device for your tri-sensor. Attached are the available advanced configuration settings for the (discontinued) Aeotec tri-sensor Aeotec-Trisensor Engineering Specification.pdf
  10. @jkraus If you have any zwave, zigbee or matter devices installed and you're using the UD Zwave/matter dongle then you should do a Zwave backup prior to updating your firmware. It's your insurance policy.
  11. A simple program will work: IF Batheoom fan is on THEN wait 15 minutes turn bathroom fan off ELSE
  12. @Tmc Try doing a "restore device" on the devices you're having issues with. This will rewrite their link tables. When you replaced your PLM did you follow the attached procedure, if not you may want to run the replace PLM procedure again The 2413S is far superior to your older PLM. If you bought it directly from Insteon then it's most likely not defective. Replace PLM (ISY994).pdf
  13. Why not just use a Zwave 800 amplifier/repeater. Placing the Zmatter dongle outside of the house, and exposing it to weather, is probably not a good idea Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Plus Range Extender ZAC38 - The Smartest House
  14. If the "dimmer switch" works then use that node and disregard the binary node(s) Zwave devices are designed to work with various controllers and not all the nodes are compatible with all the controllers. It's not unusual to have left over nodes.
  15. Probably best to delete the remote, factory reset it, then re-link it. Whrn you want to add the remote to a scene you need to first put it in the linking mode.
