It's been a week and my MS6 is still showing Celsius. I've even tried many, many times to send parameters per Aeotec's own list and still no change. Not a huge deal to me as the only things I use the MS6 for is Lux and Motion for a few programs. But I would like it to return to Fahrenheit should I need temp info for future programs. It always started on Celsius and then usually by a day or two later it would change itself to F. I wonder if eisy is not yet sending location info for it to know where I am (east coast EST)

Happy to report that the Motion sensor, after upgrading to 5.5.4, works normally again. Not always ON. So, my programs that rely upon ON/OFF states are working properly now. I still cannot get my Multisensor 6 (I am returning the 7 since now I know the 6 is not defective) to report in Fahrenheit although I have sent Parameter 64, Value 2 many, many times.

Does migrating from ISY994 to eisy render the ISY994 useless (that is, without re-restoring/migrating back to the ISY994 if that's even possible)? Can the ISY994 still be used as normal after migration? Is it just a copy job to the eisy and not destructive to the ISY994's programming/settings?

Thanks! I probably would've never found that on my own. I would buy the U-D kit if it was available but as soon as I get the ZMatter USB board (if it's the one shipping from Portland, I was supposed to get it yesterday but USPS screwed up again and it'll be 12/31) I will be migrating and shutting the old faithful ISY994 down.

So, for anyone who's still with us .. and since the U-D kit is out of stock .. would THIS work as a replacement? https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Ethernet-Converter-Compatible-Standard/dp/B08JLWRFH6/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=db9+to+rj45+converter&link_code=qs&qid=1672342715&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-3 Then, use my serial to USB that I already have? Or would the pins be off since this adapter is not made for the 2413S?

I missed this on first read. I have a serial-to-USB converter that I used in the past. I assume that WILL work? Then, the kit (currently "Out of Stock" which is a bummer) has the RJ45 to serial converter although the pic doesn't show the two sides of that connector, the description does list it as such. So, I could use the RJ45 to RJ45 I've been using to the ISY into the converter and to my Serial to USB converter I have? If only it was available to order ..

But we need serial (RJ45) to USB.

The U-D kit listed above will not work. It is Serial to USB OR "ethernet" (albeit "serial") to "ethernet" (serial). As to creating my own cable. I might have the ability to search for the pin info but I do not have the time to do it and create/kludge a cable. Disappointed that we can't just use the 2413 to ISY cable ("ethernet"-->"ethernet") I've used for 7 years! We now have to search for a USB. Wondering if an ethernet to USB converter would work ..?

My 2413S has ethernet out. Not the serial out. So, somehow I need an Ethernet to USB cable.

My 2413S connects to my ISY994 with an ethernet cable (both ends). What cable do I need to connect to the eisy? Obviously, ethernet to USB, but is there an off the rack cable that I can use? I looked for any cables that came with the 2413 but I either didn't get one with it or I've misplaced it.

Yep. That's what I use HA for. As a complement and a convenient interface on a browser page that I always keep loaded on my house computers. I really like that all of my Samsung TVs in the house show up with what's currently playing on them. I can control the volume, and turn them on/off from the HA interface. I can control my Squeezeboxen and what is playing on them, pause, and control the volume from that interface. Plex too. Turn the Denon AVR on/off/volume. But HA does NOT replace the (e)ISY.

I wound up using a Z-wave device that looks almost exactly as the one I posted. Bought it on Amazon. I also changed out the small power strip with a three-prong model that I found that was about the same size. I had to also buy a Z-wave repeater that I plugged into the outlet next to the power strip as the switch couldn't communicate well with the ISY. Once I plugged that in, the ISY communicates perfectly and does exactly what I want. I needed a timer for the filter/pump to turn off for 15 minutes during feedings because the filter was sucking in much of the food and quickly clogging up. We'll see if this extends the amount of time between deep cleanings.

I have a small desktop style aquarium with a hood that I am looking for a way to press a button on a controlled outlet that the small filter is plugged into such as this (preferably even, the button on the device) to turn the filter off that will automatically turn the filter back on after, say, 10 minutes. I tried this with an old X10 plugin and X10 is just not reliable in my house. Hence the move to Insteon or Z-wave (Insteon is just way too expensive, so I may move to Z-wave since my ISY has Z-wave built in). I tried setting this up as a program in the ISY manager, but as I said X10 is just not reliable so I cannot even test it. Also, further complicating things, I need a two prong plugin since the power strip does not allow for a three prong plug, and the hood is too small to allow for a 3-to-2 prong adapter (the small filter does not draw more than a light bulb, so voltage shouldn't be a problem). Is this possible? Does anyone know of compact Insteon or Z-wave plugs that would allow this?
