I don't think it's an error. It's just telling you to restart your admin console after having made your changes, which is desirable and normal.

Assuming they have enough warning and lead time.

Well UDI has had it's run of bad luck with supply issues. The Polisy got replaced by the eisy because they couldn't get the PC Engines unit anymore. The eisy has had a few periods where it was back ordered. Then they had the import tariff issues, recently the high cost of RAM issue. Now add to that the zmatter dongle (a Z-Wave.me product) that now appears to no longer be available. It's tough when you're not in control of producing your own products.

I beg to differ, at least about zwave. It's well implemented in IoX and is useful for things like locks and a few other safety products. Zigbee is more aimed at low power or battery operated devices, especially sensors. I'm grateful to have it all. Has UDI told you outright that the ZMatter dongle will no longer be available? If so, I'm eager to see what they'll replace it with. I wouldn't be surprised if they said that implementing Thread (Matter) on it won't happen and that they'd just say to use a border router. But, lets wait and see.

You can get zwave motion sensors, why not use those? The Zooz 800 series dongle is very affordable and works fine with the eisy. It's only zigbee that's you can't use without the Zmatter dongle.

Yes, Matter seems aimed at the "shrink wrap" market, where you buy it off the shelf in a store, bring it home, and set it up with a phone app. Meant to work with the consumer products like Alexa, etc. It's still nice to have on a controller like the eisy because it expands the user base who might have started with Alexa and then wants to get more involved control, while preserving his initial investment. It also gives us die hard control freaks more devices we can integrate. Everybody wins.

Well if you only need zwave, you can then get a Zooz 800 series dongle. The ZMatter device, despite it's name, isn't yet used for Matter. Matter uses wifi, and can do Thread through a border router. I've tested this myself, though Matter is still in alpha testing. The only thing without a ZMatter alternative is zigbee.

Was the controller powered off when you replaced the PLM. It's important that you do that. If you didn't, then reboot it, and then do a restore device on those two switches.

Just a wild guess: when you added it, did it show a popup box offering both S0 and S2 security? If so, did you uncheck the S0 box and supply the pin code to enable S2? I've seen devices supporting S2 not adding properly if you don't do that.

Well, Ideally you'd be running 5.0 16C, but if you're not using Zwave, then sticking with whatever works would be ok, with the idea that if you really want to do new things, an upgrade to a eisy would be the proper path forward.

So it was a networking issue. Those can be mysterious in incomprehensible ways. Glad you're back up!

So trying it with the ip address in the finder url still doesn't work? Sounds like some kind of networking issue, in the eisy or the network. Have you been running 6.0.5 for some time already?

No, I'd stick to 1 amp or higher. And use a regulated switching power supply, not an old style transformer and diode one (they're heavier). Splice the cable, observing polarity.

In the isy finder, try creating an entry with it's ip address, eg: https://192.168.0.123:8443/desc See if that works

Messed up my edit... lol

I did it myself. Alarm sensors are generally quite easy to reuse. Almost everything is 12V based, and often you only need to replace the EOL resistors. Elk zone definitions allow you to skip the EOL resistor if you want. Panels only require 4 conductor cable, Ordinary Cat 5 wire works fine.

Many of us have Elk M1 panels (including myself). I'm not sure what you're specifically referring to by "migration", mine was more of an outright new installation, though I did reuse some sensors that were already there. The Elk is very programmable, and the integration with the eisy plugin is very well done.

Having a program set the backlight or the On level of a switch writes to it's EEPROM, which wears out the memory cells. Not a good practice.

Have you actually tried another power supply? That's the first thing I would do.

That looks like an Insteon device node name. I'd find out what 56 83 05 is, and try controlling it directly from admin console, to see if it works ok. IoX doesn't update the status of programs. It looks for control or status change events and evaluates any programs where the triggering event is used. I'd check that device node first, and then look at any programs where it's controlled with Then statements.

There are many files named index.html. It depends what you're doing to try accessing the eisy. For example, for eisy-ui, it appears to be /var/eisyui/ui/dist/index.html. But this brings up the question of why a file like this went missing. Had a power blip? Upgraded IoX? Is admin console working?

Hah, I have one of these...in it's box. Just one of my many experimental toys that I just couldn't resist for $20 on marketplace 😄 So I just dragged it out and thought I'd try it again. I do remember getting it working when I first got it, though I've automated my garage door using an Insteon- IOLinc and an open close sensor. My test setup is a Polisy running 6.0.5 and with a ZMatter dongle. I initially got it to pair but was getting the same thing you were: a single generic device node with no controls. The documentation for it shows that it really prefers S2 security, so I excluded it and then added it back using Zwave secure mode on. The pop up box then asked my if I wanted S0 or S2 secure mode, both boxes were checked. I unchecked the S0 box, and entered the PIN code that's underlined on the small label underneath the Go Control unit, the label with a QR code on it. Just enter the 5 digits that are underlined. It then asks you to confirm the code (just click on verify). Then the device got added, creating 4 device nodes. The main node shows the controls and status, as shown below (device ZY006). It seems to work fine. I simulate the garage door position by holding the tilt sensor and the status updates correctly. If you're using the Zooz zwave stick (which doesn't support S2 security) then you might not be able to get it working. The device seems to demand S2.

Yes, since you installed a 2477D you're getting the dimmer version of full on. Having a fan on a dimmer isn't ideal, and might damage the switch.

Tried the ole trick of taking out the SD card, cleaning the contacts with an eraser, and putting it back in?

I don't think anyone will get rich "selling" plugins. But it can be a rewarding experience to expand the controller's capabilities, and share that with other users. A bit of financial reward can't hurt either, if it can help in justifying the time and effort put into it. I've signed up for plugin develoment, and got a few simple plugins to work. It really gives an insight to some of the inner workings of the controller. Documentation is sparse, so you'll likely learn by examining other plugins. If I can get around to polishing my own plugins to the point of offering them to others, they will be free. It's a great way to pay back @sjenkins and others who are doing the same thing.
