This is what started the mess. Everything was going great. The dongle disappeared from it and I tried everything so I did the power cycle. Then things did not work right with insteon after that and the dongle still cant be seen

Nothing is working. I think I need to reset the entire thing. Tried to go back to old ISY and its all messed up too because of changes made today. this is a mess. I have a backup before I started so I may have to go back to old ISY, restore the backup, and then restore PLM. I would like to WIPE the polisy ISY (not the rest of it) and then start over again with the backup I had. There has to be a reset or maybe SSH command to start over. I did make a backup of ISY on polisy when it was working well but when I restore that none of my scenes work. This is a pain. I wish I had just stuck with OLD ISY. Yes this is a lot faster but something went wrong. In fact at the beginning i had a zwave dongle with no devices but it showed up. Now it says its not available even though its plugged in.

Pg2 interface. Go to the settings menu and polyglot settings. Change the ISY information there

I have not got to that point. Been working all day and was just about done and my PLM got all screwed up. No scenes worked etc. So now resetting PLM but I was told you just change the IP address to that of the Polisy with the correct port and it should work. And of course you have to have the portal on the new one.

Everything screwed up. Its giving me platform errors and its auto disconnecting (all wired no wireless) I am going to go back to 994i for now and use a NEW PLM next time. But I cant find any way to reset ISY on Polisy

I keep getting this error on the device. And thats after deleting, resetting, and reinstalling. Its a bogus error as it says SMTP. I tested and SMTP server is working fine. I think there is something wrong here. Reboot your ISY and then check them Try to set them off. Wont work for me

maybe its a major delay in updates. When you go to heartbeat in yours does it say something. Mine is blank. But I have a couple that say Dry On.

nope thats whats strange. I even had the insteon door sensors and others but they all work. all 9 of my leak sensors dont but I am in process of adding them

Not sure why but each one I have to Delete, Add, and then restart the ISY but they are working after that

If I go back to old ISY they work. New one I can delete it, add it, but none of the options work and no status in ISY.

Thats the issue. So I sent them a message. Thanks.

Thanks. Have it working and everything seemed. fine. But now the portal can suddenly not see it after restoring from backup. I want to reset it again but no idea how to reset ISY on Polisy to default See post (answer there) I just put in the main directory of ISY on Polisy forum

I setup my new ISY on Polisy. I registered it on the Portal and it was there. I paid for 2 years so I could have both ISY running. SO both are licensed. I restored the backup and then did the migration in the portal. I turned OFF the transfer portal license because I already had one. This step was to get alexa over. then NEW ISY went offline. Now in portal it shows offline and the ISY is working but the PORTALS section is gone in configuration. I tried to restore again. Same thing. I tried another machine to make sure its not any JAVA issue same thing. Good news is I transferred my alexa spokens back to other ISY. How do you WIPE an ISY on Polisy and start over without backup? Maybe its my backup but I also tried an older one.

Oh so you are saying to add them all to the new ISY first without resetting the devices? I was thinking exclude from old and then include on new. And one other thing. I read you can have existing devices on ISY on Polisy before you do restore of the old ISY and they wont be deleted. Would you restore ISY first and then do z-wave or get them all working while old ISY is up and running and then restore the backup. Just confused.

only reason I really have it is the locks. what do you use (sorry I know we are getting off topic)

believe me I have felt the pain. And sometimes scenes dont work. So this makes it easier. So sounds like this will not be that bad to switch until I get to Z-wave. My two issues there are the Yale locks fail 9/10 times when installing or uninstalling. Once they are installed they are pretty flawless. My other issue is I have a large house and had to put in about 12 repeaters and i have dog crates in one room and they seem to absorb the signal so I had to put repeaters in the 4 corners of that room. I have perfect coverage now but probably 16-20 devices so get rid of each one and adding again is a few hour job. I guess I could leave on OLD ISY for a while.

I have a brand new unopened PLM I bought last time my PLM died so I would not have to be down. moving to ISY on Polisy with lots of Insteon from a 994i Should I use the existing PLM from the 994i or leave that and use a new PLM. I think the only difference is you have to do the procedure for a new PLM once you finish the backup restore of the ISY. I am thinking if it saves time (and potential headache) I should use the old PLM for now

would be nice but not the end of the world. I am just beta testing and reporting what I find. I am about to go to ISY on Polisy (soon). Right now I just have it up and running but with nothing in it. I think a z-wave conversion built in would be more important!!!

yes worked for me too thanks

Me too and actually I am happy to not use it. Now everything is on Polisy. as of now my ISY is not but working on it. yes being ported now but not ready yet

yep but I am sure that can be fixed

I have seen some posts about upgrading the firmware on Zooz stick. I have tried on PC and Mac using their Simplicity Studio. cant figure it out. Did it work for you? now back to the original question- So I exclude from ISY 994i, and then include on the IOP? Will take a while but I can do it. Jeff

So I see there is no migration but if I move everything from old ISY Zwave to zoo stick and then do the ISY migration to polisy shouldnt it work. My issue is resetting these devices is a pain (some are locks and they dont reset easily) Would appreciate it if anyone could write up step by step to migrate z-wave without an official migration. If its not easy I may hold off on moving to ISY on Polisy

The error log is pretty hard to read. Maybe a future version could format it better.

on my 994i Pro if I go to the URL in a web browser it pulls up a web page Not that i use it much but a quick way to see if my ISY had crashed. When I try this on 8080 or 8443 I get the UD favicon so i know its connecting but the page is blank white. Is this correct behavior? If so are they going to add a webpage?
