Based on your suggestion I tried both restarting the plugin and re-installing it (hadn't realized those weravailable), neither of which worked. So then I deleted it altogether and did a fresh install with the correct parameters and all zones were detected and it's working great. Thanks for your help!

Aha. Thanks.

IP.

Thanks!

I recently successfully installed the node server for my DSC alarm system. The EISY immediately recognized as nodes eight alarm zones out of the 27 zones I have, so I now want to add nodes for the rest of the zones. The add node screen calls for both a "node address" (which I think I can figure out) and a "primary node address". What is the difference between those two addresses, and how do I determine what they are? Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I went ahead and tried the setup with both Alarm Relay and EISY connected, and so far no problems!

My DSC system is monitored by Alarm Relay. I would like to connect my alarm system with my EISY. Is this feasible? I have read that the Envisalink only supports one connection and wasn't sure if that would interfere with my desire. Does anyone know? Thanks

That worked, thanks.

I retired my 994 and migrated to EISY successfully and would now like to play with Polyglot--in particular, a node server for my Envisalink/DSC alarm system. So I went to download the node server and find that step one is to log into the Polyglot store. But, my UDI username and password don't work, but I don't see anyway to register to obtain a username and password. So my embarrassing question is, where do I go to do so? Thanks.

Thank you Techman and paulbates for your suggestions. I finally got everything working properly. It seems with the first attempt the new 2413u PLM was DOA out of the box. Fortunately I had purchased two of them when Insteon came back from the dead, so I started the process over with the second new PLM which was definitely not DOA but I still had an endless loop of repeating "System Busy" progress bars with no success in restoring the PLM. The Tools-Diagnostic-PLM Status menu was still showing the PLM as "not connected". So I started over a third time. This time I first factory reset both the PLM and the EISY. Without connecting the PLM, I powered up the EISY and ran Upgrade Packages again, just to be sure. Then I shut down the EISY. Then I first powered up the PLM and connected it to the EISY and only then powered up the EISY in hopes that it would finally detect the PLM, before running the IoX Restore routine. At first the "clean" EISY did not detect the PLM--still showed as "not connected" in the diagnostic. But with nothing to lose, I went ahead and ran IoX Restore and when it was completed, the EISY did, finally, see the PLM. Most of my Insteon devices were immediately operable but several were not (e.g. numerous RemoteLincs and a few garden variety SwitchLincs). So finally I had to run Restore Devices and then one-by-one put the RemoteLincs into manual linking mode--somewhat tedious! I did find one IOLinc in my garage now to be dead, but after 10+ years of faithful service I can't complain about that, and fortunately they are once more available at Insteon. Going into all of this, my biggest fear was that my Zwave devices (15 of them) would not migrate and I would have to reset each of them individually, but they all migrated without problems. Whew.

The ISY has the latest firmware. I assumed the EISY does as well since I just bought it but will check. The ISY has the 500 Zwave board, and my Zwave devices migrated perfectly. Guess I'll start over as you suggest. Thanks.

After years of flawless ISY 994 operation I decided to take the plunge and migrate to EISY. I have an extensive Insteon network along with a few Zwave devices I was experimenting with during Insteon's hiatus. Since I had an elderly serial PLM with the ISY, I opted to get a new USB PLM to use with the EISY rather than use an adapter cable. According to the migration instructions that required running a Restore PLM command which I did, Unfortunately, that resulted in an endless loop--the System Busy progress bar repeatedly got to 100% and then started over. At one point I tried rebooting the EISY to stop the process, did a manual factory reset on the PLM, and once again initiated the PLM Restore with the same result. In fact, it is still going as I write this after a couple of hours, endlessly running through the progress bar and immediately starting over. If anyone has any thoughts on this I would love to hear them. Thanks!

I have an ISY994ZW that is functioning perfectly, except that the power indicator does not light up--I assume a dead LED. The other lights are working as they should. Has anyone replaced this LED? Is it doable? If so, what would I replace it with? Thanks.
