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

I'm just in the infancy (actually waiting for stock) in transitioning to eISY from a very reliable 994. Can anyone direct me to the best path to start and accomplish this transition? Also, I guess Mobilinc will go to the sidelines when 994 does. How will I be able to use the new eISY with my iPhone when away? Is this what the "Portal" is for, or is there another purpose for that? My 994 was just a local unit that I either accessed by the Admin console, or Mobilinc. Thanks

I'm all ears... How do you set this up? 994? I was also told that "Home Assistant" would import all of ISY and it would provide notifications. Anyone done that? Thanks.

I too did the app password deal 4 years ago with NO issue's until now. I have tried the new app password route and nothing works anymore. I even went as far as to setup a GMX account to try and have it do the sending. It didn't work either. In researching it, it comes down to TLS 1.3 vs. TLS 1.0. 1.3 will not allow the format of sending from the 994. The only way would be to find an email provider that gives TLS in the lesser form! I gave up as my last post details. I'm just going to buy new hardware from UD when it becomes available. Why some folks are still Gmailing is beyond anyone but maybe a geek at Google. My guess is their day will come too.

I've gone as far down the road as I can. There seems to be no way to make the notifications work. I've stuck with my 994 as long as I can (it still works perfect). The fact that eventually everything reaches a life end, I have decided to just buy a new EISY and get somewhat back to the future... That said, I'm on the waiting list now for new stock to arrive. I never would've thought there was a backlog of chip supply again. Hope the wait isn't long. In the meantime, my 994 just wont be able to send me emails - but it will work everything else.

Geddy: Thanks, but all that said, I and others are still having issues with Gmail despite the fact that others are not. I have used Gmail for years to send from ISY. Now all of a sudden I (and others) are having issues. What would be causing this and when I ask for a resolution, I'm asking for help from you and others in troubleshooting it. I'm pretty sure that it's related to tls. ISY 994i, 4.7.3 Any help from you and other members is much appreciated. For what it's worth, I also have AXIS cameras using Gmail to send mail/notifications using SMTP and TLS from the same Gmail account utilizing the second step authorization code and they are still working fine!

I've got the same thing as well. My (default) does not work either, Any resolution yet?

Thanks. My memory is good, but short and getting shorter. Appreciate your help.

I have forgotten how to save the java login as an icon on my desktop.

My range is excellent (without even having to use an external antenna that's included). I was hoping for an easy integration, but nothing is easy.

I've got an old 994. I just installed the Ring Mailbox sensor and found that they do NOT allow the Ring chime to link to it. The mailbox "motion" sound on the Ring app stinks. It is so quiet; you barely hear it. I'm looking for a way to link it somehow through my ISY and make an alarm of some sort sound when the mailbox is opened. I've looked through what there is on the forum re: this and didn't find any work arounds. Is it possible somehow?
