Moving from Insteion Hub to ISY

Featured Replies

Posted

I have a few devices (mostly on/off switches) controlled by an insteon hub. Planning on switching to ISY. Is there an easy way to move the devices and maintain the links so that my scenes continue to work? Or do I need to add the devices one by one and rebuild all my scenes?

 

Thanks.

When you first add the devices to the ISY there will be an option to save the existing links. I would however advise you to hard reset all the devices and remove all the links as the first option when enrolling. Failure to do so will leave your home in a unknown state and you will be running around like an idiot wondering why things don't operate consistently.

 

The time invested now will save you time, effort, stress, and the hair on your head . . .

I moved from another solution to the ISY, and can say your life will be much easier if you start from scratch. It will give you a chance to use the linking features of the ISY, which are powerful. I had move over 40 devices, a few should not take much time.

 

I recommend a factory reset the devices before you add them to the ISY, this will ensure that that your hub's link is removed, which is important.
