Good afternoon. I am a long time ISY994 user who recently had to switch to EISY because of the failure of the ISY994i. Unfortunately I did not read any of the exhaustive documentation at the Universal-Devices site. I am 84 years old and don't remember many aspects of how I set up my home which was completely automated based on the ISY994i (now the EISY) and Insteon Devices. I have been doing this since 2005 I m an electrical engineer and software developer. Its like I am starting over and need some help.
I have a set of sliding doors that would automatically open when approached and sensed by an Aeotec Multiensor 6 which was connected to the ISY994i over Z-Wave. Z-Wave does not operate very will in my home using the Z-Wave Dongle with the ESIY. The EISY is located in a special electronics room which is in the back of the Garage. The room is separately air conditioned, maimtained at 68 degrees F, and has a UPS system supplying all power to the devices in the room. There are several devices including a couple of RPi's, an ethernet based relay system, an ethernet based digital input system and a NAS with 27 TB of raid storage... The PLM is outside the room connected at the Breaker panels that feed the whole house so they are not isolated from the internal power lines (UPS runs all its devices on Battery). I have decided to switch to an Insteon 2844-222 motion sensor since I have difficulty getting the Aeotec sensors included in the Z-Wave network.
How do I configure, first install and get recognixed by the EISY, the 2844 motion sensor, and then have a scene that is controlled by the motion sensor so I can have several reponders, in particular one that uses network resources to control the sliding door. The scene will interface to the relay controlled sliding doors using a network resource to one of the RPI's that acts as an overeer for the house.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice/assistance
