I migrated from an ISY994 to EISY early last year. Mine sits on a shelf next my modem and router in the basement. The only three things connected to it are the Z-matter dongle, a USB Insteon PLM, and the power cord. I have never connected a monitor or mouse or keyboard. I had to do the initial setup using the UD Mobile to get it connected to my home network, but after that I have used the java based admin console to set everything up and change things from either my desktop or laptop computer.
I just followed the instructions fond here:

I hope this helps.

That was the program I was using in the ISY. It worked well for these switches.
I received a reply to my ticket:
"HAIL does work for some devices but does not for others, it depends on whether it is defined by the device as SUPPORTED vs CONTROLLED.
We are waiting on a fix to the library we are using that will work for both modes."
So hopefully this will be working again in a future update.
