I was able to experiment around with the AXIS camera settings and came up with a workable solution to the mess they made with Camera Station last year. If anyone wants the information let me know and I'll do a separate post. I'm amazed after just a week all the issues I had with my 994 are long gone (as is the 994). I'm so glad I was able to transition so easy.

Thanks everyone. I'll work on it.

Good morning. I have just upgraded from an old 994 to eisy. One of my needs is to bring the MyQ the eisy. I have two MyQ doors and would like to query the door positions in eisy for programs. Could someone give me a detailed instruction as to how to make this work. Other than this query, is there any other creative things to do with MyQ in eisy? I have not added any add-ons to the eiesy yet, so I need instructions on how to ad an add-on too.

Good morning. I have just upgraded from an old 994 to eisy. One of my needs is to bring the Hunter Douglas blinds to the eisy. I just ordered 4 HD blinds to get started, I was told I don't need to get a HD hub and that their (HD's app) would control them from my phone. What I'm hoping to do is to use your add-on to control the blinds from eisy. Could someone give me a detailed instruction as to how to make this work. I have not added any add-ons to the eiesy yet, so I need instructions on how to ad an add-on too.

Also, after many years of struggle with control of my AXIS cameras (turning motion on/off with ISY), I now have them working again too. Took just a little reprogramming the Network settings from the new eisy and sure enough they work again. This new eisy is the best thing.

Since the change over, every time I log in, I get the "Device Discovery" box saying "Add a device to the Z-wave network" box shows up. Is there a way to not have that happen? If I hit "Cancel" nothing happens. I have to "X" out to remove the box.

Thanks Guy

I just completed the transition from my old 994 to a new eisy. I have two Schlage locks which I was told would be problematic. They are older Schlage as well. My start-up in the eisy went well, the backup from my 994 updated beautifully. I then went to work on the Schlage locks. As per Schlage customer service, they mention that many ZWave folks have issues in getting new third party's like ISY to see them and that the solution is very simple. Their procedure is as follows: 1) Use the "Remove a Zwave device" for any and all previously used devices. 2) Factory reset the device removing all previously used data like codes, etc. 3) "Add a ZWave device" as the eisy calls for. The key here I believe was to factory reset the locks. I initially tried to just add them and got a continuous "writing" within eisy. After the factory reset and second removal from eisy, the locks came on line perfect. The only other bit of work was re-writing the programs I use to look for the new devices, ZYxxx rather than the 994's naming of ZWxxx. All is well and as of now I have zero issues. That said, my firmware is 6.0.4 and I see 6.0.5 is available. Tech said I should update it. The 994 had a dedicated upgrade option on the main page. I don't see that on the new eisy. Can someone give me directions or steer me toward the procedures to update this? I am a bit concerned to do it as there are so many temperamental issues associated with ZWave and eisy. Lastly, I would like to add the Hunter Douglas blind app to eisy. Has anyone done that and as it's my first add-on, how do I go about doing that? As a side question - Is there a way to control older Gen1 HD blinds, or just the new models? Thanks.

Just got a new unit ordered, they came in faster than expected. Unfortunately, the Z-Matter is still out of stock. When the new ISY arrives, should I wait to upgrade, or is the Z-Matter plug and play so as to pick up what it needs from the programs?

My programs and scenes are very simple ( I think), so that said, I guess I'll just backup and move to restore the eISY when I get it. Anything not working then can just be rebuilt. I'll get the eISY, the Z-Matter and a serial PLM kit. The Schlage lock program is the toughest thing I've got (multiple scenes and programs to make the keypad lights work proper), maybe someone will have a better way to skin that cat when I get there. Thanks for all the insight.

Would the upgrade to 5.X go better if my 994 was on the same software and I worked out the program/scenes prior to migration?

Geddy: Thank you. I am going to wait until UD gets the units back in stock, then get one here and move over my back which is 4.7.3. I guess I'll have to take my licks with however it goes. Guess I could get a 4.7.3 backup from the 994, then upgrade the 994 to 5.X, then I'd have that backup too. Not knowing if getting an eISY is 3 days or 6 months, I just don't want to create a bucket of worms in the meantime. I appreciate all the tidbits, especially the COPY headsup. In the end, it will be OK, just like anything else new, its a big learning curve.

I've got 68 Insteon various switches, 4 keypads, 2 Schlage locks, 2 Sirens that bridge the locks. I have 39 programs. I have 30 scenes. Everything is easy to get to. The scenes are somewhat complex.

Not sure how to tell what board it is? Can you explain the "Portal" thing to me? ON another thread some talked about UDMobile, is that a better option. I simply want to lock/unlock and monitor/change lighting when away. I used to have a network communication that would turn on/off motion detectors on AXIS cameras, but AXIS ruined that a couple years ago. I'd love to be able to get that back, but have had no luck. I'm still on 4.7.3. Was told I should upgrade to 4.9.0, but am hesitant knowing I'm moving to eISY. I'm ope to any help and comments, Thanks

Schlage locks as well
