Dumb this down for me, switching from ISY to eISY...
The antennas, are required and are included with the module. they're about 3 inches long and come wirh an elbow which allows them to install in a vertical position.

There are two external antennas, one for zwave and one for zigbee. They attach to those coax connectoers.

Scene Link Creation Troubleshooting
The scene data resides in the devices of the scene, as well as the controller and PLM You could turn off the controller, unplug the plm and the scene will still work, assuming there's no powerline issues. i.e. if you disconnect the controlller and plm and then manually turn on one of the switches in the scene, the rest of the devices in the scene will respond accordingly.

Scene Link Creation Troubleshooting
The scene test is very reliable. It appears that your problem is/was caused by noise on the powerline. How old is your PLM, the date code is the 4 digets on the plm sticker. Based on what you've described, It doesn't appear to be a PLM problem. If the PLM was failing it would effect more than just your scenes. A UPS or other electronic devices can wreak havoc with the Insteon powerline signals. A good start is the Fillterlinc. Take a look at these two articles: INSTEON Signal / Noise Troubleshooting - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki INSTEON: Troubleshooting Communications Errors - Universal Devices, Inc. Wiki

@watson524 If you move up to the eisy the best PLM to use would be the 2413U. It's an USB model that plugs into the USB port on the eisy using a standard USB cable. The 2413U is currently backordered and will be available sometime in October. In the meantime make sure you always have a current ISY backup. There is no way to test your spare PLM without actually installing it on your ISY. For now it's probably best just to keep it as a spare. What's the current firmware version of your ISY?

Scene Link Creation Troubleshooting
@matapan Either you have a communication issue between the devices and your PLM, i.e. noise on the powerline, or the link tables in your devices are corrupted. First thing to try is right clicking on each of those devices and then click on restore device. That will rewrite the link tables that are stored in your controller to the devices. After the device restore run the scene test again to see if the issue has been corrected. Post the results

Failure Adding Motion Sensor
If the sensor is already linked, then yes, you can't add it again unless you first uninstall it. Being that you did a factory reset on the sensor you now need to right click on the sensor in your device tree and then click on restore device.

[RESOLED] ISY stuck in linking over and over
As @paulbates mentioned, your PLM has most likely reached its end of life. You should replace it with the 2413U PLM which is a usb model and doesn't require the adapter cable so there's less to go wrong. Be sure to follow the replace PLM procedure, see attached. Replace PLM Procedure (EISY or POLISY).pdf

[RESOLED] ISY stuck in linking over and over
The "version" in your admin console is blank and it shouldn't be What controller are you using and what is its firmware version Try clearing your java cache, be sure to check all 3 boxes, then download the IoX Launcher from here: https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp Also try removing power from the controller for about 30 seconds

Do all ZMatter modules support Z-Wave Long Range?
The Zwave/Matter module supports up to the 700 series. It's supposed to support LR but I'm not sure if it has been implemented.

Do all ZMatter modules support Z-Wave Long Range?
The zmatter module is supposed to support Zwave LR. However, when installing a zwave LR device I was never givren the option to use either LR or Mesh, so I believe they installed as mesh. Zwave LR by-passes the zwave mesh network and communicates directly with the Zwave controller and has a longer range than a non LR device Here's an article explaining LR All About Z-Wave Long Range - The Smartest House

ZOOZ ZSE50 Siren & Chime
Any zwave device that's zwave certified should work with the eisy. I have numerous Zooz devices and they are all compatible with the eisy. The ZSE50 is zwave certified.

Eisy disappeared off network...
@tracknut The eisy doesn't support a static address, only reserved addresses. Make sure DHCP is enabled on your router The PLM would be a non issue, so don't focus on it.

I messed up PLM eisy integration – BADLY – now what?
@zorax2 After you get everything working and cleaned up do an eisy backup. Anytime you update firmware, devices, or programs always do a backup, it only takes a few seconds. You should also update to the current firmware which has bug fixes and program improvements

I messed up PLM eisy integration – BADLY – now what?
If the 2334 Switch added then your PLM and its connection is good. How old was the backup that you used to do your restore backup with? Was that backup made with your current PLM? If you backup is current then you can try doing a factory reset on the PLM, then a Restore PLM

Replacing Defective 2476S-Not sure option choice
For the new 2477S you want to use "remove existing links. If you have the 6 digit device address, then in the linking window enter its address. The switch will then show up in your device tree with its address Right click on the old switch, then click on "replace with" and select the new switch. All your old switch data will be transferred to the new switch

Issue trying to link Leak Sensors to EISY
The "failed to add device, reason 3" I believe that error 3 is "Device returned invalid node" Being that you have the correct device address 36.B9.BF, you should try removing power from the eisy then try installing again, but first do a factory reset again on the sensor. When the sensor is in the linking mode (slow flashing led) is the led bright? Also take a look at your device tree to make sure the device wasn't previously installed.

Issue trying to link Leak Sensors to EISY
"Cannot determine Insteon Engine" usually indicates one of two issues, either the device is out of range of the PLM or you're inputting an incorrect device address when linking

Issue trying to link Leak Sensors to EISY
@GDavis01 You need to press the linking button on the leak sensor for 3 seconds then the led will start fast blinking which puts it into the leaking mode. To exit the linking mode you need to press the button, wait a second then press it again. The led should then turn off When the sensor detects water the sensor will stay in the wet mode until you press the button once.
