Low Memory
Comparison: My eisy seems to like this: snappy and stable. I chalked it up to working as-designed. I don't think either of us need worry.

Help me figure out what eisy to replace Polisy
@MClark01 Turning on lights based on "time" is great! A solid start. You can use this for your own day-to-day convenience, but also for peace-of-mind / security if you go away travelling. And voice-commands are helpful - whether you are lazy like me 😂 or your hands are full. If you want to simply grow your system in gradual steps, I've found that a motion-sensor or two adds a lot. I have one mounted in a stairwell (battery-power Z-Wave; battery lasts ~18months) which brings safety and convenience when descending my stairs with early-winter-morning coffee. And you can add a timer, to turn this light off when movement ceases for something like 20min. Another motion-sensor I enjoy a lot: my backyard parking. I use a motion sensor to tell when a person or vehicle is present, and I have a couple of 100W LED yardlights mounted on my sheds - the motion detector kicks a program, which also checks if the time is between sunset and sunrise, then I have an outdoor switch module that turns on lighting. Great for unloading the groceries, arriving home from work, heading out to work, etc. Summary: baby steps. identify convenience, or safety, or security, and add a couple of components now and then. Enjoy the journey. For a modest home system, my ISY994 was sufficient; your Polisy or Eisy will be much more responsive and current/supported. HTH!

How to differentiate between Zwave and Zwave LR?
My Z-Wave stuff was also doing this, but despite what the screen showed, it was actually still doing something important behind-the-scenes. What ultimately worked for me: Wait. A lot. Like, go make coffee, check mail, wash dishes, etc. At least 5min, perhaps even 10min. After this, all the Z-wave nodes appeared correct, and functional. If (when!) I was was impatient, and click-exited after the 65% timeout, nothing was right. Waiting worked (for me). I wonder if this may help your situation? I had quite a few Z-Wave devices, and after migrating from ISY994i to Eisy, all had to be deleted and re-added. It took me a few days, especially with long waits. Oh, I also commonly had to: Remove Z-Wave device, factory-reset Z-Wave device, Add Z-Wave device, Remove Z-Wave device, another factory-reset, then final Add Z-Wave device with a tremendous dose of patience. In the end, I am happy with the functional results.

Insteon motion sensors where are options
Yes, I notice the same. After I took the screenshots (above), I tried making adjustments to both my Motion Sensor (gen1) and Motion Sensor II. I cannot make any Motion Sensor changes to either generation. Essentially, my screenshots are perma-stuck as shown. @bmercier @Javi

Insteon motion sensors where are options
Following Techman's instructions - left click at the icon, select "Configuration": Then, right-click the "Options" gear-icon and for older 2842-222 type: Pretty much the same for newer Motion Sensor II (2844-222): HTH!

Some of us may never seen another time-change, as some jurisdictions move to Permanent Time in one form or another

Transitioning to eisy-ui with 2413s plm
Straying off-topic here 😁 I wonder if your Z-Wave coverage would be improved if you remote your UD Dongle? I found that was the case: I used a USB-A male to USB-A female extension cable, about 5ft long, and it seems to work fine:

How to differentiate between Zwave and Zwave LR?
Quick note of commiseration: I've also had to set my Z-Wave interview timeout to 2min or 3min, NOT "default". In my case, I have some Z-Wave devices that partially-include, but may have had missing end-points or present-but-non-functioning endpoints. Implicated Z-Wave devices are: Zooz outdoor switched outlets Zooz motion-sensors Ecolink motion sensors Leviton plug-in outlet switches Leviton wired-in dimmer switches Even with this extended interview timeout, I've resigned myself to having to include - exclude - factory_reset - include a couple of times, for my Z-Wave stuff to work properly. But after all this, things seem solid. I am glad we both found that extending the interview timeout worked. And like Javi mentions - during my includes, once I see the device end-points appear, I must wait another several minutes for the actual inclusion to successfully complete. When the screen says something like "Timeout" and "Download Log" + "Skip", it's really not finished ... I go and make coffee or something, to give it an additional (5???) minutes to do whatever it's doing behind-the-scenes.

Zwave "Pending Operations" - any way to clear?
I am curious how this resolves, because I have the same experience. One Zooz motion-sensor and one Ecolink motion sensor, both Z-Wave. I have tried moving through their motion-areas and triggering these (outdoor) sensors, in the hope that when they're awake that they could satisfy these pop-ups. Alas, no. I even took one down and poked the backside button ("wake up" or "include/exclude" button), to no avail. Everything works, but these brief orange messages suggest a pending 'something'... ❓

Z-wave Google Spokens Migration to eisy
This was my experience also, but with Alexa. Migrating from 994, to eisy and eisy-ui I had to delete and recreate each spoken, when it involved Z-Wave.

Transitioning to eisy-ui with 2413s plm
It would seem "No" you don't need the Serial PLM kit. You may already be using a USB-to-Serial adapter from elsewhere, and if it's working and your PLM is happy, that's fine. You state that you have a working system, and any upgrades from here on should be software-only for you. (it's hard to be completely certain from your photo and wiring, but it seems your translucent-blue USB plug and associated sliver-braided-clear cable at the top right of your photo is a USB-to-serial adapter. There are many such adapters floating around, and it's good if you have one that is working. From the blue DB-connector, you have what seems to be a beige DB-connector to RJ-45 adapter. If this is working, and provides your PLM with the needed signals, then it would seem you are good-to-go).

For me, I don't get that Error 500: Running versions appear the same as yours (I did reboot following each upgrade):

Feedback on new web based UI
Just one comment from me (post-1966 🤣) I like, and use the Type / Address / Status fields quite a bit. For me, these 3 fields are helpful, especially when trying to debug and identify or find particular devices. However, I think a working Option menu to show/hide these fields would satisfy both you and I. But a day may arrive where I'd prefer to hide these columns, or view just a subset - thus, my added request that Options -> show/hide selector ought to work. And that's my only (helpful) comment.

Feedback: "Mean Status" at top of IoX list?
I understand that this percentage applies to a Scene, and indicates the scene-members' aggregate status. For example, if a scene had 5 members, and one only was at 100% while the others were off, the "mean status" would be 20%. Perhaps that lone device was manually turned on... But, despite my understanding (which I hope is correct), I find minimal value too.
