I have now successfully migrated. I did attempt to follow the migration instructions, but I originally failed. It seems like my key failure was in failing to update the Firmware of my 994i. I think that I might have tried, but when you click on the link you get the forum entry that tells you about the upgrade without actually seeing the upgrade. You have to scroll down and read the whole message which is what I failed to do. Also, the first few words on the page are nothing about needing this upgrade to migrate, it starts out by saying "This build is just a small update. It contains a fix for unit conversion in program conditions." That is hardly a message that encourages one to read on. In any case I seem to be successful. I did notice that some of my lesser used devices have apparently died since I last used them so they will probably need to be replaced. Just one more quick question, is the web page access to the 994i no longer present in the eisy? It doesn't seem to be. I used to use it a lot when I was sitting at my computer and wanted to turn something on or off.

I was following the migration procedure. However, when I got to "select update packages" I could find that nowhere on the menu. I have found that now and done it. I also could see no obvious way to update the firmware on my 994i since the pages that I went to basically said that it was superseded. Given the encouragement from these posts, I tried harder and I found and applied the firmware update. Reading on from there it basically says backup the 994i and restore on the new eisy which is what I did minus the firmware upgrade. I see the boldface that says a migration backup is different from a regular backup, but I don't see any way to make a migration backup. The instructions also imply that this step only applies if you have zWave which I don't. Since you encourage me to ask questions before proceeding, I am doing that. Is there some special migration backup that I am not seeing?

It seems like I am not the only one having migration issues, but I can't sort through 1000 responses to try to match my particular issue. Setting up my new eisy threw me for a little bit since I had already tried to unsuccessfully use UD mobile to talk to my isy 994i. However, it eventually let me add a new device and setting up the eisy was easy. What is not easy is migrating my devices from the 994i to the eisy. I only have Insteon devices so that minimizes some potential problems. From what I could read the best way was to restore the configuration from the 994i to the eisy. This does bring over all of the programs, but none of the devices. Also the programs have all placeholders like "Response type 10" instead of the Insteon commands that were there formerly. I then tried restore devices and it runs to about 4% and quits and no devices appear. I also tried restore PLM and it has an equally short and ineffective result. I have tried this with both a brand new USB PLM and the existing serial PLM that I have used with my 994i. I also have a few other issues, but I will begin with just this initial setup stuff. Can anyone help me get through this initial growing pain? Thanks.

Let me add a little more information. I I look at the event viewer I see a ST 255 when I turn it on and 6 seconds later I see a ST 0 I've attached a picture of the activity from the Event Viewer. I basically understood the ST 255 and ST0, but I don't understand all that is going on in the more detailed view.

My Appliance Linc v38 used to work fine for several years. A couple of weeks ago it started turning off after 5 seconds if I turn it on using Alexa, MobileLinc, or the PC console. If I hit the button on the device itself, it stays on until I turn it off. I don't see any programs turning it off. Does anyone have any ideas or has it just given up the ghost?
