No problems, quick and easy.

Thank you for your reply. It would be useful to have the doorbell trigger some interior lights when no one is home.

Will it read the armed state? That is whether it is "disarmed", "stay" or "away"?

Well, I finally decided to "bite the bullet" and reboot the EISY, and it seems that almost everything is there and functioning. I will poke around and see what I can screw up.

I am migrating from my ISY994 to my new EISY. I just got my USB PLM, restored my ISY backup to my EISY, and I am restoring the PLM. The admin console has repeated the "system busy dialogue at least a half dozen times, over and over. Each time it reaches 100%, it starts over. I suspect there is a problem, but I am letting it do its thing because I don't want to screw it up, but I suspect something has gone wrong. Also, though my programs showed up after restoring the backup, my Insteon devices did not. My ISY is at v5.3.4 and my EISY is at v5.5.9.

I just now got the email with tracking number. Like Rick said to Ilsa, "Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon..."

I ordered a 2413U over three weeks ago, the day this thread started, and the last I heard was the email that I posted above. I imagine there is much more demand for the USB than for the Serial. I am anxious to try out my new EISY.

I just got this email: Dear Bill, We're just reaching out to let you know that pre-orders for the PLM (2413U and 2413S) began shipping Monday, April 10. However, due to overwhelming demand, processing times for these shipments may be extended. All pre-orders are expected to ship in the next few days. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. Rest assured that although we are also accepting new orders for this item, all pre-orders already have inventory allocated to them. Thank you, The Insteon Team

🙂👍

Thank you very much! I will place my order soon.

I have pre-ordered the USB PLM and it is time to retire the old, faithful ISY994. I have two questions. 1) What is the maximum practical length for the USB cable from the EISY to the PLM? Although the EISY is probably USB 3.x, I am guessing that the PLM is 2.x. Can I get away with a 15’ cable? 2) My plan is to wait until I am notified that the PLM is shipping, to order the EISY. My reasoning is that if the PLM doesn’t ship for a month or more, I want to have the latest EISY available. Is there any reason that I should not wait? Even though I have had my ISY for many years, I am running 5.3.4 firmware and an all Insteon system so I should expect a relatively trouble free migration.
