I think that is the reason that trigger wasn't working.

It's possible it didn't detect all four buttons. You can force it to do that manually. Go to Z-Wave Settings, then press Manage Z-Wave Network. Then under Get Node Information, select the Wallmote and press the button to send the request. Then on the wallmote, press and hold the button for three seconds. You can confirm it worked by seeing 4 channels show under the Wallmote in the Devices view. As you press each button on or off it should be reflected in real time on that screen.

About every 3 or 4 days it stops responding. Windows 10 shows the the services alive and well, I have all power saving features turned off. A full reboot fixes it, a reload of the CastleOS settings fixes it. Physically disconnect and reconnect of the Kinect usb does not fix it. A stop and restart of the service in windows does not fix it. Same behavior with a different kinect. I'm at a loss????

That will be fixed with the next release. Regarding the lock, I'm confused why it would be working sometimes and not others. The Yale lock we have here is working reliably on a CastleOS system that's been running since the latest beta was released. Let me do some reading on that Quickset lock and see if there is any known issues. Which specific model is it?

1/29/2018 Topic: ZWave Secondary Controller - adding new devices Tommy Long Posts: 218	Tommy Long Posts: 218 Topic: ZWave Secondary Controller - adding new devices I have currently setup CoS with Aeotec Gen 5 USB stick as a Secondary Controller. I'm getting ready to add a couple more Zwave devices via the Primary Controller and I'm anticipating that the CoS Secondary Controller will not automatically pick up these newly added devices. If so, what is the procedure to get these added to the Secondary Controller?

Hi Kent, functionally it won't make a difference but if you want to revert you can manually edit the configuration.xml file in C:\ProgramData\CastleOS\CastleOS Kinect Service (Backup first!) to remove the second zone. Make sure to stop the Kinect service before editing it, then restart it later.

This issue should have been resolved for you a couple versions ago. On my Samsung S8 it's working normally. I'll be making a separate post about the new update I'm about to post sometime this weekend.

Kinect V2 is supported and is available on the download page. However we will not be developing those apps further as like you mentioned, the Kinect has been cancelled as a product. We are however planning, and currently working on, a new voice implementation, but we can't say for sure yet when it will be ready. Thanks!

CastleOS 2.0 turned into a larger redesign, and it's almost complete. We're even building a new app for controlling the system, and making the Core Service cross-platform capable. Next beta coming the first week of the new year! How is this update coming? Is the new app available? I am wondering if it will help my issue of the dimmer control unavailable on my Samsung S7 (see this post: https://castleos.com/forum/topic1084-android-app-has-no-dimmers.aspx?lastpage=1#post8538 ).

1/16/2018 Topic: New Installation Michael Smith Posts: 3	Michael Smith Posts: 3 Topic: New Installation Hi. First, I installed the latest GD release and received the message. Then, after tinkering a bit I thought I would try the beta. When the result was the same I installed CastleOS, did not delete the folder, and re-installed with the same result. Then, placed a comment on the board for help. If you need me to manually edit a file I can do that without issue. The goal obviously is to gain access to the settings options. Thanks.
