ok, thanks!

I'd like to get started with my ISSY => EISY upgrade, but I might need to do a bit in a day, and then flip out to my ISY for a day or two, doing this until I get things to the point where I can set the EISY to production. I know I have to be careful not to have them both on at the same time, but is it OK to plug one system in during one day (EISY), do some work, such as upgrade the firmware, and tested download, and then at the end of the day turn the EISY off, unplug the PLM from the EISY, and then connect the PLM to my ISSY, and use it for a day or two, etc.? I also have a spare PLM, so am I better to plug it into my EISY, use that pair, each on its own system?

Well, I can't thank you enough for telling me to back up the programs/folders. In fact, what I did was, while the problem was being experienced, I took a copy, then I went to an ISSY backup that I had from a few months ago, and found out that it worked fine, and then I again saved that set of programs/folders, and then I pulled them both up into Visual Studio Code, and did a compare on them, and I was able to bang right onto where the problem was, although I totally didn't expect this... What happened was that I had deleted a bunch of motion programs that I was no longer using cause I haven't found the motion sensor to be of any use, but not realizing that I had a loop that, amongst other things, was calling one of these motion if/then programs, and now it didn't have those to go to, and that was causing the problem. I would NOT have been able to find this without using your great suggestion (So HUGE THANKS!). I had also submitted a ticket and @MikeL responded saying that SOMEWHERE a program was looping, so I guess that was not too far off, and led me towards this solution. So my ISSY is humming along just great, and I guess I'm going to be proceeding to the EISY this week! THANKS (oh did I say this already lol?)

Besides uptime, can I also see the CPU utilization, and processes? Might give me some clue if programs were in the loop, but I haven't even changed anything for a long time, and it was working fine, at least a couple of months ago was running pretty smooth

My ISY994i seems to also be rebooting often in a day. I tried another P/Sstill reboots Where can i see the UPTIME? I'm wondering if maybe the microSD is corrupt? I have a new 16GB ordered coming tomorrow... I deleted the Motion and Vacuum programs, so I can't see them... I agree, I'd like to get the errors out before proceeding /f

I bought the EISY, serial cable, zwave dongle about 1.5-2 years ago, but never had the guts or time to upgrade my ISY994i/iR. I have lots of Insteon devices, zwave locks, about 25 4&8 button remotes, and now MS making it tough to get to some of the devices. I don't even know where to look to find the best upgrade method/steps. Any direction and cautions VERY MUCH appreciated! (My ISY has gone bezerk, taking 10seconds to minutesto respond, and some "out of memory" errors have crept in from somewhere) I do have in ISY backup from before this mess started, so can I use that to start up the EISY? Can I get the EISY up and running and still get to the ISY to "look" at things while I switch over? THANKS!

Hi there! Great to hear from someone! I have a feeling there's a few of us in this boat. I have one Yale lock and 4 Kwikset. All have worked great on the ISY994. My EISY is (Seriously) STILL taped up in the shipping box (they might have sent me a birdfeeder for all I know LoL). I'm reluctant to dig in until I know my path forward. I wish someone from UDI @bmercier ?? at least would confirm or deny my thoughts in this post. So are you back to your ISY994 right now? Are you saying you can flip your PLM back and forth? (sounds dangerous to me). Waiting (im)PATIENTLY... @bmercier

VERY helpful advice @Geddy, thanks! (My eISY is still taped in the box... I only have 15 maybe 20 zwave, but ya, locks and programs... not looking forward to it LoL.). (Glad I didn't just hack into it. So my thoughts are... -Backup ISY now -Get the PROGRAMS as you mentioned -Get a list of all Zwave nodes (eg ZW017_1) -Delete all Zwave devices -Backup Zwave (so zero in ISY backup) -Backup ISY (so backup w/o Zwave) -Upgrade ISY to latest version -Backup ISY (With latest firmware, and zero zwave) -Power down ISY -Set up eISY, and move my serial PLM over to it -Restore ISY backup onto eISY -Get all non-zWave stuff going/tested -Plug the ZMATTER-USB in -Redo all zWave from scratch Any hints, or things I've missed? Many Thanks!

Well YA LoL... Joke 🤣 😛

I'd like a blood curdling scream over all the Google nest devices, because now other people in the house don't have to do it LOL...

Received my eISY today... I see where it says Zwave500 but i have old card. How do i migrate ISY994 to EISY (using pre-era Zwave?) (Does the attached tell for sure??)

So I have my EISY coming! What (loose steps ok) are the steps to integrate to my YoLink MouseTrap (Called TrapEEzEE at TrapEEzEE.com). Really it's a speakerhub with vibration sensor and trap/adapter. (And I also have about 20 YoLink wet sensors/Temp/RH,DoorOpenClose, etc to do) Thanks! (If anyone wants one, feel free to use my SAVE10 coupon that was in their intro email) (screenshot attached)

So i ordered my EISY! They had a direct usb-to-PLM cable specifically for EISY so no DB9 or USB dongle! Also, I just went straight to the expensive zMatter-USB (zwave) dongle, to save time (hopefully) in the end... So I'll post new questions related to this under EISY now (like how to integrate to YoLink)... Thanks all!

I thought of zwave a ways back, but didn't go near far enough. Often hard to get 100feet... LoRa on YoLink can reach 1,234ft so that is a game changer! Agree, great for hard to reach places.

Thanks, ya i understand
