This is happening to me - I (unfortunately) am trying to migrate from my Polisy to eISY and appear to have random node servers displaying the "already starting" issue, with the node server in slot 1 = DSC Envisalink, always exhibiting this problem (and slot 2 as well)...

OK - to be honest, I didn't completely understand what you meant, but I am trying to digest - "To migrate the node servers, you need to (1) backup PG3 on the Polisy and then (2) use PG3x's migrate from PG3 backup button to migrate the PG3 backup and (3) convert it to PG3x format and (4) change the node server configs to point to PG3x." I'm pretty sure that I did (1) and (2) but can you elaborate on (3) and (4)? EDIT: OK I found what gzahar mentioned and had to change all IP references to the eISY's new IP address in IoX admin panel node servers->Configure - so that's obviously been a problem - should I re-do the migration again to more quickly get everything working?

All - thanks for the replies - I migrated the licenses, I did the "migrate from PG3", and I powered down the Polisy before I started the migration process - so far it appears that I have to re-install node servers in the same slots one at a time, and then re-configure them... I have got Rachio and Weatherbit working now - I was hoping that this would not be necessary, but it isn't terrible - not sure if I'll have to re-edit all of the programs using the node servers, though...

I followed the Wiki instructions very carefully but cannot get any node servers to work - they appear to be in the original slots, but all report as unmanaged with "no details available" - tried multiple reboots and re-starts of PG3x - any suggestions?

I've been kind of dreading performing the migration - Initially I was considering just doing Polisy/2448A7/Zooz to eISY/2448A7/Zooz migration with the hope that I could revert back to the Polisy if there were any issues - but after reading the Wiki, it seems that it may be best to migrate directly to eISY/ZMatter - would anyone agree with this? Is this is one way process such that the ZMatter becomes the new z-wave controller and I would not be able to revert to the Polisy/Zooz?

I deleted an experimental node server that I hadn't started using yet (for the flirc IR) and then the version seemed to correct itself

I re-started PG3 2X and rebooted the Polisy - it still indicates "ISY 5.5.3" using two different browsers, but the IoX on both the Polisy and eISY is clearly 5.5.5... Thinking about this some more, I had been running 5.5.4 for quite some time, so 5.5.3 wasn't even the version that I was previously running - I guess I didn't pay attention to this until now

I updated both Polisy and eISY (not in service yet) and restarted PG3 and PG3x - everything seems OK so far - one thing - the PG3 Node servers page (Polisy) reports ISY version 5.5.3, not 5.5.5

In the program example that I provided, for example, "Watch a Movie" is an activity, not the hub. Your examples above indicated what you can do with the hub itself, which is limited. Hubs have the arrow pointing right. Activities have an arrow pointing left. You need to make sure you can see your activities in IoX, then you can trigger on when they start or end. The hub below is called "Family Room" - devices and activities are child nodes, activities have the arrow pointing left. Devices, and the hub itself point right.

Thanks but that didn't work either - is there a recovery process where I plug my HDMI monitor and USB keyboard/mouse directly into the eISY? Otherwise, I may have to send it back to UDI to get fixed...

NEVER MIND - eISY is now a brick - I tried a factory reset (10 presses) then 5 presses to reboot - had to revert to wired ethernet - it gets an IP address, but refuses ssh connections and does not show up in IoX finder I've tried a couple of factory resets and reboots - what now?

Trying to get from Polisy/Zooz/2448A7 to eISY/Zooz/2448A7. After restoring the Polisy IoX backup to the eISY, when I go to the programs tab it takes a very long time and then comes up with no programs indicated in the left Program pane area and none in the summary tab. The strange thing is that I get a push message indicating that the ISY was reset - which requires one of the programs to run. Variables, notifications and everything else are all there but no programs. I guess I should point out that I am trying this without plugging in my Zooz or 2448A7 dongles, and I unchecked the boxes for Insteon and Z-Wave on the eISY config. page - I'm keeping the dongles in the Polisy until I feel that the eISY is ready to go - I want to have a working system if the eISY is not ready. The PG3 restore looks OK -the dashboard looks good but I haven't done a deep dive into that yet. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do at this point?

Like this: FR-AVR-TV - [ID 0084][Parent 00B3] If 'Family Room / SHIELD TV Pro' is switched Start Or 'Family Room / FireTV 4K Max' is switched Start Or 'Family Room / Watch a Movie' is switched Start Then Wait 45 seconds Resource 'AVR-FR-Setup-TV' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Isn't the eISY 12V/2A? I use this with the Polisy and plan to move it to the eISY but I'll need a DC to USB C cable to do so... https://a.co/d/hy7RXnr

I've updated my eISY to IoX 5.5.3 and PG3x 3.1.18, got WiFi working, changed the admin password, and have added it to ISY Portal on a 30 day license but I can't get the ISY Portal module to install - the dialog box keeps popping up indicating "Would you like to proceed with the following Module actions? ISY Portal (21075) -- To Be Installed - I click yes, but then it doesn't seem to work because it will pop up again if I go to Help->Manage Modules - any advice on getting this working?

I can't get WiFi setup to work, either (and I am an engineer at a company that makes networking equipment) - there should be a method to enter WiFi setup when connected via wired ethernet UPDATE: OK, I finally got it to work, but I'm not sure exactly how - I first used wired ethernet to update the eISY, then a factory reset, followed by multiple attempts with the UD mobile app then finally it worked

I saw the exact same thing (never ending system busy) after only doing a restore of IoX on the eISY (with no PLM or Zooz stick plugged in) - I didn't do the PG3 restore yet - so it wasn't just me - that's why I'm being cautious with the small step of trying to go from Polisy/Zooz to eISY/Zooz so that I can revert to my Polisy if eISY doesn't work - BTW - for me, the Polisy is stable with the 5.5.3 IoX update

I'm pretty sure that to go from Polisy/Zooz -> eISY/Zooz that you don't need any Z-Wave backup/migration, just IoX and PG3 backup and restore. I am interested in doing this and have been reading the Wiki and Forums to gather bits and pieces of information for this process before jumping in. This morning, I also did a Polisy IoX backup and restore to eISY and everything was there, but I did not move the Zooz or Insteon 2448A7 dongles. Take a look at the attached and let me know what you think... Polisy-To-eISY.pdf

I am also interested in moving from Polisy/Zooz to eISY/Zooz for now. Just to be clear, after backing up IoX and PG3 from the Polisy, I would restore IoX on the eISY, then restore PG3 on the eISY (using the migrate from PG3 Backup button), move my Zooz dongle and 2448A7 Insteon dongle to eISY and at that point all of my Z-Wave network/devices would still be intact? So, I won't have to re-enroll everything?

So, no issues with Insteon and Node servers? I am interested in doing all of this (except HA, but including zmatter) but I don't want to have to re-enroll all my z-wave devices and fix all the programs...

What would be the best process to get from Polisy/PG2/Zooz/PLM1 to eISY/PG3/ZMatter/PLM2? I think know the 1st step and have done this - 1: upgrade all node servers from PG2 to PG3 while still on Polisy/Zooz/PLM1. So, now from Polisy/PG3/Zooz/PLM1 what is the best process to get to the end point? 2: backup IoX from Polisy 3: backup PG3 from Polisy 4: power down Polisy 5: move Zooz USB dongle and PLM1 from Polisy to eISY 6: power on eISY, update eISY by pressing button in IoX and reboot 7: restore IoX to eISY 8: restore PG3 to eISY (and reboot?) 9: transfer PG3 node server licenses? (Not sure about how this works) - change ISY Portal connections to new eISY 10: now at eISY/PG3/Zooz/PLM1, test everything to make sure it is working and fix if not... 11: wait for UD to debug migration tool 12: run migration tool to go from eISY/PG3/Zooz/PLM1 to eISY/PG3/ZMatter/PLM1 13: run replace PLM procedure to get to eISY/PG3/ZMatter/PLM2? (Note: PLM1 = 2448A7, PLM2 = USB PLM) I think it would be useful to have a step by step process for this worst case scenario of updating everything - obviously some users would not have to do all steps. Is the "migration tool" that is referenced in the forums only for updating the Zooz USB stick to ZMatter? Would it be better to migrate to ZMatter while on the Polisy? Is there any way to overlap both the Polisy and eISY during any of this process to reduce risk?

Lighting - Insteon Dual Band Dimmers/On-Off Switches - there is no equivelant (I have some Zooz 700 series and Enbrighten switches as well, but not as good as Insteon with respect to Scenes and On/off Control reporting) Outdoor plugs - Zooz 700 Series or Insteon outdoor or Insteon in-line relays Door Sensors - if you have wired security door sensors, use a node server, if possible to connect to the eISY (for example, DSC security system with Envisalink) Otherwise, Z-wave 700 or Insteon Some other things: on/off plug-in modules - Z-Wave 700 series (Zooz or other) Thermostats - Ecobee (+node server) Sprinkler Control - Rachio (+node server) Motion sensors - I would use z-wave 700 series (Zooz, etc.) Ceiling Fan control - don't use Insteon fanlincs, check into Bond Bridge (+node server), z-wave fan controllers (I have 2 of these) or alternatively, you can wire a CF capacitor in-line and use an Insteon on/off switch for single speed operation Insteon products to avoid: On-Off modules (plastic breaks and too big), lamp power outlet, fanlinc Not familiar with Apple

Wow, that sounds like a nightmare - I do have the ZMatter board and am waiting on the USB enclosure - as such, I wanted to try and push things to get the best performance possible out of the ZST10 before switching, but obviously I don't want to break anything to the point where nothing works... also, I wanted to wait until the migration capability exists so I don't have to re-enroll all of my z-wave devices and fix all of the programs Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that he thought 7.17 was necessary - sometimes it's difficult to have to read through these forums to get the information that you need or want

I downloaded the latest Simplicity Studio and firmware version 7.18 and followed the processes described here in this thread to update the ZST10 - this was my first update since buying the ZST10 almost 1 year ago. I am not 100% sure yet, but I believe I may be seeing some improved performance with 7.18 - some devices that were problematic seem to be communicating better to the IoP. Also, some new nodes have shown up for some of the devices. I have approximately 30 Zwave devices all of type 500 or 700 including 3 battery powered locks (2 U-Tec and 1 Schlage). Has anyone else tried 7.18?

Will the advanced zwave features be available if you use the Polisy+ZMatter? Will the migration tool allow Zooz -> ZMatter migration on the Polisy, without having to purchase the eISY? Since the Polisy is supposed to be supported until 2025, I am considering just running it for as long as possible instead of purchasing the eISY. (Unless there is a compelling reason to upgrade). If history repeats itself, the eISY could be replaced by something else within 2-3 years anyways.
