Michel Kohanim Posted August 10, 2022 Author Posted August 10, 2022 Hi guys, Yes, for the longest time, everyone pronounced ISY as izzy, easy, izi, etc. So, eisy is pronounced as "easy" and the hope is to make it easy(er). Configuring eisy through Alexa is 100% doable and actually something we're considering (for simple things). With kind regards, Michel 5 1

That sounds great! Will any other models be offered of eisy? I'm wondering because of the word "Home" on the package makes it looks like it might be the model name :).

The advantage of MatterZ is that we are using a different firmware that enables OTA updates, better scene management, S2, and diagnostics. @Michel Kohanim Will the serial PLM interface with the EISY, if so via which port? Will we need a custom cable and/or will one be supplied with the EISY?

I was hoping for a simpler solution. It might be the cable linked in this post I think there's a better correction post somewhere but I can't seem to find it. @Michel Kohanim or @Geddy should probably edit the posts with the incorrect cable linked, because believe it or not people are ordering them already, including @Geddy. 1

Techman Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 @MrBill This is the cable you're referring to: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Converter-Prolific-Chipset-CB-DB9P/dp/B00IDSM6BW?th=1

No, just ordered one just for safe keeping. Hope I don't keep it too safe and forget where I put it by the time the eisy is out and about. But yes...as @MrBill says...this is the one I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IDSM6BW/ @Techman - yep...that's the same. 2
oskrypuch Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) This adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Converter-Prolific-Chipset-CB-DB9P/dp/B00IDSM6BW?th=1 has a male DB9, which will mate with the female DB9 on the serial cable that comes with the 2413S PLM. So, as I read it, no additional hardware will be required. * Orest Edited August 11, 2022 by oskrypuch
Michel Kohanim Posted August 11, 2022 Author Posted August 11, 2022 Although not very scientific, but reproducible: eisy WiFi internet download is faster than my laptops (i7/16GB) both running on 802.11(ac): 1

brians Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Does eisy do everything polisy does therefore making polisy obsolete ? I thought there was going to be a matter upgrade for polisy - looks like I would need to purchase a whole new unit eisy now? I am guessing polisy may take less priority receiving updates now. However this eisy could just be similar hardware as polisy repackaged and renamed as eisy. Will usb plm work instead of serial ?

Both will be upgraded together. USB plm will work with eisy via it's USB like the cable above for the serial PLM in this post 1

asbril Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Is there any reason that Eisy will not work with the Home Assistant ISY Integration ?

Michel stated that both eisy and polisy has the same programming. Since it'll be using PG3, nothing should change 1

Wondering if that’s an indicator of device line and maybe there is a Pro or something else!?!? Between this and the teaser in the Insteon Mega Thread lots of excitement! Go eisy!!! @Dubcould you share a link to the post you are referring? Would love to catch up!

I currently have that connected to the ISY994 via "Port A" That's not an ethernet connection, it's a serial port connection. The cable between port A and the PLM is actually carrying serial port data. There are two types of PLMs, one that supports USB and one that supports SERIAL PORTS. The ISY only supports the Serial PLM connected to port A The Polisy supports either the USB or SERIAL PLM The eisy supports the USB PLM, and will support the SERIAL PLM using a USB to serial conversion cable.

I’m referring to the pictures at the beginning of this thread. You can see the word “home” beside “eisy”, but I saw The thread I was referring to was this. You are probably caught up it may have sounded like I was talking about a different post. You may also notice earlier in this thread Michel mentions and “basic” and a “next” with upgraded hardware on the “next”. 1
