I tried that. I found the IP address in my routers DNS table. The IoX launcher couldn't find the eisy. This is all very frustrating. I just want to get the thing working.

NEW PROBLEM: I downloaded the latest version of IoX finder (after clearing the Java cache first-all 3, actually). when running the IoX finder, it found the old ISY994, but NOT the eisy (the eisy appeared in the DNS cache of the router). When I removed the ISY994 from the network (and powered it down), and re-ran the IoX Finder, it still showed the ISY994 and not the eisy. What is going on? I cleaned the Java cache and reran the IoX finder, same thing-eisy was not found.

Dunno what the problem is with fixed IP address. I thought that's why there is a checkbox for that in the Configuration Section. I am selecting LAN (I know better than to select cloud). Now my ISY994 is using the latest Administrative Console (see a previous post).

1) My router doesn't support DHCP reserved addresses. I suppose I am stuck. There must be a way to uncheck the permanent checkbox (DHCP) in the settings. 2) Did that, still doesn't help. 3) ALL of the scenes? Seems excessive. I expect to make changes from the Elk module to the Anyway, the errors make no sense. See my previous post on the Administrative Console. 4) Yes, I did. The latest IoX launcher didn't make much difference.

Here are the specific issues I am having. They all look like bugs on UDs part, but here they are anyway. These are copied directly from my tickets (where I can't get a response from UD). I just received the eisy and am trying to convert from an ISY994 with the Elk module. The ISY994 is running firmware 5.0.16C. The help files aren't very helpful. I have a number of questions: 1) I am trying to change the IP address to a static IP. When I go into the configuration, I see the checbox for Automatic (DHCP), but the UI won't allow me to uncheck it. How do I uncheck this check box so I can input a static IP? 2) When I go to the website to install the Elk plugin (yes, I know the difference between the Elk Module and the Elk plugin), I get an error when I try to purchase the plugin. The error message is: (in RED) AxiosError: Request failed with status code 404. As I asked before, how do I get the Elk plugin? 3) When I go to the Administrative Console, I see a strange thing happening in a lot of my scenes. This is shown in the attached image "eisy Insteon 1.jpg". The scene worked perfectly in my ISY994. 4) When I go to the LAN Administrative Console for my ISY994, I get the strange scene configuration. However, in the Administrative Console before I had the eisy connected in my network, the Administrative Console showed the correct information for the scene. I think the Administrative Console is being loaded from another site. What gives this away is when you clock on Help->About, the header is "Copyright 2004-2025 Universal Devices, Inc. All Rights Reserved. So the Administrative Console is later than my ISY994. How do I fix this? Note: All of the screenshots might look funny because I used Windows 11 screenshot to get them, and stored the file using Windows Paint. I detailed my problems in the last post. Where can I find the migration instructions? I have looked everywhere.

You completely misunderstand. I am not looking for help with the ISY994, I am looking for help with the eisy. I am not getting any from UD, and it is their bugs that only they can fix.

I have an ISY994 with the Elk module that I am trying to convert to an eisy. The ISY994 works great, and the only reason I am trying to do this is because the ISY994 has been discontinued and UD won't help me with problems (and there are a few). Anyway, I am finding the conversion difficult mainly due to what looks like software bugs in the firmware, the UI, and the store website. I have submitted tickets to UD via their ticket system. I get a reply in a couple of days, and the reply sometime asks for more information. I provide that information, and never hear from support again. Please Help! Steve

First off, I do have the Elk module, which is how i got the Elk programs on the ISY to run. Second, the ElkM1G controls an electronic gate via an Elk M1KAM module. Programs on the ISY control outputs on the Elk, and rules on the Elk control the ISY. I use the Elk not only for an alarm system, but to control lighting via the ISY. The Elk does relay I/O really well, and the ISY does lighting (via Insteon) really well. I have simply combined the two. I also use virtual outputs on the Elk rules as program flags due to the limitation of the Elk rules. I would normally not be thinking of converting to the EISY with the Elk plug-in, but my ISY IS getting old.

I have an ISY994 with the ELK support. I have about 30 programs for the ISY994 that deal with the Elk. How difficult is it to convert these programs to the Eisy with the Elk plug-in? Likewise, how difficult is it to convert the Elk rules to work with the Eisy?

Thanks everybody for their information. After much thought, I think I will keep on the ISY/Elk for a while longer. I dread rewriting and debugging all the Elk programs on both the ISY and the Elk. So far, everything is working fine, and I haven't encountered incompatible devices yet. The backup ISY works fine (I test it regularly), and the spare Insteon modems work fine also. If for some reason, both the main ISY and backup ISY fail, I will then have to consider an Eisy. Thank everyone for replying Steve

I have a Insteon network, an ISY994, and an Elk M1 System. I would be interested in getting an Eisy and replacing the ISY, but I am really concerned about the ISY-Elk interface. I use this heavily, and have dozens of programs written in the Elk (rules) and in the ISY to both control lighting, garage doors, and an electronic gate. I would hate to rewrite and convert all of these programs just to migrate from the ISY to an Eisy. Is there an easy to do this migration, or should I leave well enough alone (there is no pressing need to convert)? Everything seems to be working fine, and I have spares for the ISY and serial modem. Thanks in advance. Steve

On the current Java, the only security options are high and very high. I wan't to turn off the secuity processing so I can at least access the ISY99 and get my current configuration. Going to an Einsy or even a ISY994 isn't a great option since I would have to rebuild the entire Insteon network. Does anyone have any idea how do disable Java security processing? Does anyone know where I can get a copy of an old java that has low security processing?

SO how do I get Java it ignore certificate processing? I don't believe UDI will help me with this one. My entire network is on that ISY99.

I Posted 9 hours ago So how do I do that? I have tried everything.

When I download the start.jnlp and try to run it, I get the error "Unable to launch the application", When i download the admin.jnlp, I get the error I described above. That didn't work.

I have an ancient ISY99 that I am trying to load the admin console. I downloaded the console from the device using http://192.168.1.250/admin.jnlp When I execute it, it runs for a while and then gives me the error "Failed to validate certificate. The application will not be executed". I am trying to get the admin console so I can remove a defective keypad and replace it with a working keypad. I only want to do this once and get the network topography and change the links. How do I get past this java error?

And they are both wifi thermostats,which I didn'r want. I don't wany all my comings and goings sent to someones cloud, especially Google's. I just went ahead a s got two more Insteon thermostats.

I did a Google search on the TH9320 and it seems it is a WiFi thermostat. How can I use a WiFi thermostat with the ISY994ZW? I want the ISY to work with the thermostat directly, and not go through the thermostat's cloud. Thanks in advance. Steve

I am looking for recommendations for a Z-Wave thermostat. My current setup is Insteon for lighting and the HVAC thermostat, an ISY-994ZW, an ELK for security and access control for a gate, 2 stand-alone DVRs for video surveillance, and a NEC SL2100 phone system with IP phones, and the house wired with CAT6 for network (with a Engenius AC access point for wifi). I use the ELK-ISY interface, and use the ELK for relay inputs and output to the ISY. I have used the Insteon relay I/O devices, and don't like them because they are unreliable. We had a major power problem and the Insteon thermostat died. It is out of warranty, and this is the second one Installed (the first one was replaced under warranty). Knowing the reputation of these Insteon thermostats, I wanted to try a Z-Wave thermostat instead of getting another Insteon. I am looking at Z-Wave door locks, but not ready to take the plunge just yet. I have no other Z-Wave devices in the system. The ISY is located directly below where the thermostat is located. I have a 6 wire cable going from the HVAC to the thermostat. Anyone have any recommendations for a thermostat that will work with the ISY? Any suggestions on using Z-Wave? I don't want WIFI enabled stuff, because I don't want anything to go into someone's cloud. I have a VPN server/router and can access the ISY from anywhere that has an Internet connection. I have used Agave and the ISY dashboard with the Insteon thermostat. On another note, I am working on a data logger and remote access device for the Elk using a Raspberry Pi. I know about the code written in Python, but I don't like Python, especially for real-time applications. I prefer C for the PI, and am writing this in C. Python is a dynamic language, and lots of stuff goes on in the background, while C is static and the response is fairly dependable. Thanks in advance. Steve
