REPLACING a Z-Wave sensor to keep same number
No there is not. It automatically goes to the next number.

add Aotec motion sensor to eisy
Zwave doesn't use the plm. Did you follow the instructions in the wiki in regards to removing the device first then adding? Is your sensor close to the zwave dongle?

Child-proof Lights?
There's no way to override what happens when a switch is manually controlled. Javi's idea is the closest you can get. The double tap is built into the code. You can have the light immediately turn off if turned fast on. The only way to accomplish what you want is to use an embedded module connected to the lights or what bulbs with the switch controlling that.

ISY does not read status if played or paused from the app
I know the st-sonos updates whether you control hings via the app or polisy. I used the free one years ago with my isy and it worked as well. There may be a bug or an issue with the install.

Admin Console - Java Questions
These are all questions you'd need to ask udi directly by submitting a ticket. With this being a peer to peer forum, we wouldn't have the answers you're looking for.

Matter support
While Zigbee support is available for some devices, I do not believe they've released full Matter support at this time.

No it does not.

Does "plugin" support Signe gradient floor and table lamp ?
I have the hue floor lamp. When I used it with my polish, I had it working via network resources. Never used it with the plug in so I can't confirm that route. Just letting you know that there are alternatives to controlling it if it doesn't work with the nodeserver

Firmware 5.x upgrade
In short no. Everything 5.0 brings will make things more complex, especially at this point since you'd need to upgrade your controller to take full advantage of the capabilities

X10 Support for Eisy
I don't know if it works because I don't have x10 but I don't see why not as others have said. I know the x10 module is no longer available which would allow you to name your x10 devices in the admin tree like you could with Insteon. Since you already have a backup, it doesn't hurt to try it.

Insteon 8 keypad Timer Dead
Use the 2487s. Use the instructions in the manual to turn it into an 8 button. Swap the faceplate with your old timer keypad. Then write programs for your timers when any of the buttons are pressed

Lutron HA Control Solutions?
Ra3 is a basic control system. Outside of simple timers, there isn't any logic. I use mine with Control 4. The next house I do with ra 3, I do plan on seeing if the lutron nodeserver works with it out of curiosity
-
Scene On Levels ignored when scene activated by keypad button
Yes. The easiest way to set a scene is to add responders first, configure them, then add the controllers. The controllers will auto update

Ecobee Remote Sensor Capabilities
I don't use the nodeserver anymore but that was not possible when I did. You may not want to set up Alexa if you dont want to use it. Otherwise you'll need to mute it through the app.
-
Scene On Levels ignored when scene activated by keypad button
Thats not what Im asking. If you click on the controller of your scene in the admin console (each keypad which should be RED), did you configure what your switches are supposed to do there also?
-
Scene On Levels ignored when scene activated by keypad button
Did you update the controllers of the scene too? Both controller and scene itself must be updated.

isy 994i to eisy
Did you follow the migration procedure or simply did a restore?

ISY994 to EISY questions. Anyone in Minnesota who's done this and willing to allow a visit?
Nothing changes from what you are accustomed to and how those things work. Mobilinc hasn't been updated in years (disco'd), so while it'll work, it will not be capable of doing everything that EISY does. You have access to the nodeserver store which has been covered extensively on these forums so I wont go into details on that.. There is a whole subsection on the forums with the different nodeservers that are available. In addition, if you get the zmatter dongle, you have access to zwave, zigbee (growing support), and Matter in the future.

LIFX, kasa, twinkly, govee, novostella and hue led strips
I e tried many different lightstrips over the years and none compare to hue (my opinion). The ease of setup and app use is a major reason. Lifx is much more confusing and disconnected. While other strips have some novel features that I wish hue had when it comes to Multi-Color strips, hue's take on it still seems much more elegant though I wish they were cheaper. Since you're using the dish, I say why choose 1? While I use hue mainly, I still have a couple of lifx strips that I use for specific effects in certain area that hue isn't capable of. You can do the same thing though I'd recommend keeping things all the same in singular areas. That way, when you make a change, all devices changes at 1 time vs each device 1 by 1 which lessens the experience.

Update the ISY994i/IR pro
On these forums. Look for the sub forum software release and updates. Click on recent firmwares. Because there may be manual intervention and udi wants you to read the instructions in it's entirety, there is no auto update to 5.xx

EISY with Zigbee/zmatter add on and Hue Lights
Hue isn't the only game in town when it comes to zigbee based bulbs. You also do not need the nodeserver to control them as network resources work with them as well (I use network resources with mine). You just won't have 2 way communication. If you're like me and don't use the app, it's not a problem anyway. Google isy hue for dummies and you'll find an easy to follow write up. Whether it's the isy or eisy, it takes time and patience to learn. It's a great system. You just have to be willing to put in the work to experiment. It would be like that for any of these systems.

Halloween automation anyone?
My stuff is pretty simple. All of our outdoor lighting is Hue stuff. During Halloween and Christmas, instead of turning on normally, everything will be based on the event we're celebrating.

EISY with Zigbee/zmatter add on and Hue Lights
You can't assume anything when it comes to automation devices since companies are able to fork codes to use it how they desire. Sticking with zigbee for example; Directv peanut remotes uses zigbee but you can't add it to other zigbee based systems. Ditto for Control 4. Hue used to be a lot worse than they are now but still isnt easy to work with for direct integration. The best path is to ask if something is compatible prior to investing (or purchase 1 for testing).

ISY994 and Power Outage
That's not normal behavior. What's your firmware and UI? What's the first program that runs when you reboot?
