ISY is offline after getting new modem/router
Is the old one a 2413S or 2413U? Not well up on the Polisy I vaguely remember it could also use a 2413S serial. The eisy is USB so you need a 2413U or the specially made USB to serial UDI cable UDI has available.

EISY will not link to Insteon Keypad
Glad you found it and it is not an uncommon thing to happen. Some stickers where harder than others.

ISY994 sporadically turns everything on
Not sure if the PLM would see a All On. Quick look at the PLM Developers Guide did not show it but I too have seen All On mentioned in older threads here. Latest ISY994i firmware is 5.3.4 Found one very old thread. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/10321-how-to-diagnose-a-all-on-event-trigger/

Which PLM is best?
The 2413S is dual band the 2412S is power line only. So the 2412S would need other dual band modules to send RF to and from the older 2412S. The 2412S supplies unregulated 12V DC [18.5V DC] on the serial cable from the ISY994i and PLM. To also power it. ISY994i has components in it so only the higher voltage powers the ISY994i.

What a night
Local works fine for me. On old Windows XP wilth all the updates before discontinuance and Windows 10. Long time but I remember Cloud also did work.

How do you get help from UD tickets?
As you indicated. The ISY994i was discontinued a few years ago and the free and then paid support has expired. There are very knowledgeable users here. They maybe able to assist you if you have more details. The latest firmware for an ISY994i is 5.3.4 If you don't have it in the ISY994i now.

echo skill gone
There is a red massage screen signing in here. As of 5pm EST Alexia Skills are down but it is Amazon not UDI. Guess you have to wait for Amazon to do something.

2486 8 button dimmer issue
It does sound like it has started to fail. One side note on the Factory reset. The early revisions did not have a beeper and you just held in the set button or three seconds and released it.

Eisy came but can't connect to plm
The 2413S serial PLM has a special signal wiring. Using only three wires. Send;receive and common. If your USB adapter is not made to route the proper signals to the correct PLM connections and not connect the other pins. It will not work.

Sudden issues with eisy
Did you use the replace modem function to take the replacement PLM's six digit ID into all the modules in the system? If you did not use the procedure. All the devices will still be expecting commands from the old PLM.

How do I connect to a building on a separate meter?
X10 and Insteon power line signals have a problem from getting from one phase to other phase. Through the transformers secondary windings. They may get through but the attenuated signals maybe too low for any operation. As for others on the same transformer highly unlikely. For X10 the JVDigital XTB-IIR repeater coupler was fantastic. My house has at least one volt of X10 everywhere and over 10 Volts X10 at the unit itself. It does not step on the end of an Insteon command and corrupting it. Reading the signal as an X10 one.

Silent doorbell by flashing lights?
I have also used one section of the ELK930 and the module you linked too. Both triggered an I/OLinc contact input. Guy's method would add flashing. As I missed that point.

Silent doorbell by flashing lights?
The Dakota HUB (aka receiver) should have a dry contact relay output. Normally open, normally closed and a common for the channel relay output. You should be able to wire the NO or NC and Common. To an Insteon module with a contact type input and have it do something you desire. Old school I/OLinc or one of the wireless sensors. Like the open closed sensor. If you need the Dakota manuals I may have them in my archives. If you need one let me know and I maybe able to provide it. If you have a different protocol like Z wave. I am sure they have similar devices.

Possibly switching from my ISY994i to eisy.
The PLM. It is a 2413S dual band and not the original 2412S single band version? If it is a 2412S you may want to consider a replacement and if you are going to an eisy. Might as well then get a 2413U USB model.

How do I connect to a building on a separate meter?
The 2992-222 Range Extender when being sold. Was actually a 2457D2 LampLinc with the dimming parts not installed and a different firmware. Most now use the 2457D2 for both dimmer control and range extending. So that is a possibility. Depending on the exact situation.

X-10 Devices Stopped Working With EISY.
Manual for the 2663-222 device attached. Since it has two controlled outlets. It has dual buttons. The 2473 is has a single controlled outlet and I see the quick guide was provided to you. See the full users manual for details. 2663-222-en.pdf

ISY994I firmware and X-10 modules
Yes they do basic X10 without the A10/X10 module added. I have it but never used it. As the added goodies where not needed or used. Thank you for jogging my memory.

ISY994I firmware and X-10 modules
Depending on the ZWave module installed. You maybe limited to firmware revision you can install. No personal information but you maybe able to remove it and install the last firmware released for the ISY994i The X10 module is gone as Guy pointed out. I got lucky. When the ISY994i was announced being discontinued but still available. I bought the X10 and Pro updates for my spare basic ISY994i.

Need help for an RF issue with X-10
I have also used an ESM1 to show Insteon power line signals and an RF Explorer budget spectrum analyzer to look at Insteon RF signals. Glad you found the RF problem. In the X10 forums we have seen lost remotes stuck in maybe a couch with a button on or an failing RF device start spewing X10 RF.

Need help for an RF issue with X-10
Have you tried a power cycle reset on the modules doing the RF conversion? Did you try one of the old transceivers to compare the results? In the Event Viewer is there any constant X10 style messages? Almost sounds like you have some RF interference that is almost over taking all the remotes.

Need help for an RF issue with X-10
There are some X10 and Insteon users here and I am sure they will assist you. You may also want to post on the X10 Support Forums. For added ideas. https://forums.x10.com/index.php

Garage door keypad
If you have remote control short distances some new ones have lights that make RF noise. Some makers sell bulbs tested to work with their openers. Since the I/OLink is power line only. If your control of the opener starts getting flaky. Putting its power plug on a Filterlinc may help or a Dual Band module in the I/OLinc's feed through outlet may also help.

Isy (5.0.16) Died. I want to migrate to a used EISY
One thing to consider. The OLD PLM's six digit ID is in all the modules will not respond to the new PLM' six digit ID. I believe replace modem will go out and write all the needed changes in the modules being controlled.

Blue Memory light flashing slowly
I had to take the top off mine to get to the SD card. Mine didn't align up well with the slot and when I clicked it to remove it fell into the unit. 😀

i3 Keypad load assignment [Solved]
One point. The modules also using the HUB will have extra links in them. The eisy will not know of. Technically may have a few quirks in the eisy. Trying it and posting results may aid others. May also help others with a similar situation.
