Is the Touchlinc compatible with the ISY 994i

I actually spoke to someone named Ran at UD after my last post and he mentioned the option of removing all previous links at install time. I have an Excel spreadsheet with the Insteon address and location of every piece of Insteon equipment that I have in service. Looking forward to delivery of ISY on Wednesday from SmartHome - I bought the ISY994i/IR PRO so I can use my Pronto IR remote. I did not need the PRO option but SmartHome does not sell the IR unit in the standard bundled with the 2413S. This is quite a different world than X10 which I have been using for 30+ years since the late seventies when it was introduced and sold by Radio Shack & BSR. Fortunately I am a computer consultant so all of this makes a fair amount of sense and I have an ethernet switch in the Living Room where the ISY is going to live Thanks for the help Burt

Thanks for the advice. I guess what I will do is setup a few modules and a couple of scenes and play with the interface for a week or two to see if I like it and if the IR is happy with my Pronto. If I like it I will wipe everything and start fresh. All of the links to everything including the smartlinc 2412n appear in houselinc. If I just delete all the modules and controllers in houselinc will that erase the links from the switches and controllers as well? Thanks again for your time Burt

I just switched my home control from X10 which I have had for 30 years to Insteon. My switches and modules were already Insteon compatible. I purchased a 2412n with SmartLinc and a 2413UH with houselinc and have them setup but am not completely happy with how they work. I am using MobiLinc HD with several iPods to control the 2412n and several 2440 controllers to talk to houselink. I just ordered an ISY994i/IR PRO (I have a Pronto IR remote that I want to use also) and plan to switch over to that because if I understand correctly it will replace both of the other controllers. I want to know what I need to do to switch over. Do I need to erase all of the existing links and scenes in the other two controllers and if so can I create scenes in the ISY first to see if I am happy with it? Thanks for any advice
