Yes. Insteon can be used in multi way setups unlike caseta.

What problems are you having? The wiki covers scenes. Did you recently upgrade your isy? What's your firmware AND UI?

Insteon being in our out of business shouldn't have anything to do with the syncrolincs. I know they used to work flawlessly with the isy (I used to have them). Either there's a bug preventing them from working, some type of interference (they're powerline only), or whoever sold them sold you bad product.

Did you clear your java cache? Also you have to hit the tab when you change a setting. ie: change ramp rate>click ramp rate button

Most of the issues you're seeing are from migrations. A completely clean install should be ok. I set one of my polisys up from scratch and imported the other to see the difference. I felt a new install was easier since I had some gotcha moments with importing. Zwave may be an issue but would most likely come down to what devices your have, your particular setup, knowledge and skill. Since you're not used to the elk Node Server, that may also be an issue. Since you say you don't have the time, that should be your own clue not to attempt things. Regardless of ease of use, you can still have gotchas. It's best to wait until you can focus on setting things up without sharing over it

See above about static IP.

Did you connect and power up the plm before the EISY?

About halfway down this page you'll find a similar question as this. Someone commented with the upgrade link along with additional pertinent information. You can also find it by going to the main page under software releases.

How will UDI's kit not work when it's designed specifically for the 2413s

The release notes in the first post contains this information. Michel also stated theyre working on migration with no eta due to a bug.

Are you sure that the isy sets the time on the thermostat and thats not a local feature? If it does, there should be a way to set it on the thermostat since the ISY time wouldnt automatically do so

There are quite a few posts already detailing this (including the 2413s manual found online).

I haven't checked in a few days but last time I read the eisy wiki, it had the instructions on how to factory reset the EISY.

You can factory reset the board. You'd have to remove and then re-add the devices once done.

Yes. I'm planning on using that in our new home. I didn't mention that here since Ra3 isn't currently supported by eisy and I'm not certain if it ever will be. I have C4 as a fallback option if it's not but the op wouldn't have that option from a diy standpoint. @Geddycan you move this to the eisy questions channel or coffe shop since it doesn't really pertain to iox issues.

This will be up to you. Personally, I'd stick with insteon if I had to choose between it and zwave. If you're willing to wait, ZigBee and matter devices are potentially options but since most here aren't accustomed to using those devices (matter isn't even out yet), no one will be able to tell you what's compatible and whether it's worth it or not. I'd probably stick with insteon regardless due to ease of use and flexibility compared to other devices out there. Overall, it really doesn't matter since eisy supports (will support) so many devices overall looking term. You can choose what technology works best for any given situation and go with different ones. In my case, I use insteon switches, zwave sensors (and outlets), and hue bulbs. If you go with zwave, make sure you buy 700 series devices at a minimum. Zooz is a good choice EISY does not natively support homekit.

See post above. If you want to remove the board, simply unplug your isy, take the bottom screws out (including one behind the sticker), open it up, pull board out, closer it up, and plug isy back in. With the 994 being discontinued, you'll have to try and find a board on eBay. Putting the new one in the same as taking the old one out. If you Google how to replace isy zwave board, you'll find instructions on how to do it

You'd need to replace it with eisy

As tazman pointed out, it will work. However, you won't be able to take advantage of advanced zwave features such as ota updates, associations, S2 security, and more. Your board will simply send and receive zwave signals. Additional capabilities will not be added.

Did you update your isy for 4.xxx to 5.xxx

I believe Elk is via a Node Server now. https://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/309-elk/
