SSchmidt Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I will not be migrating anything because my ISY, PLM and all the devices it controlled are in the house that I sold. I am about to buy an eISY for my new house, in which I will be using Z-wave because I do not have a PLM and also do not want to be dependent on a vulnerable single point of failure. I would greatly appreciate answers to: Is the eISY Z-wave enabled as is or is that one of the things that the Matter is for? Is there anything else that I need to buy besides the Z-wave devices so that I can move forward? Thank you, Steve Link to comment
asbril Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 You also need the ZMatter board USB. While I wait for the migration tool to move my setup, I added one Zwave device with success. Link to comment

Wouldn't you still have a single point of failure? Link to comment
SSchmidt Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Yes but I wrote "vulnerable single point of failure". In the 14 years that I had ISY/Insteon in my last house, I NEVER had a single ISY failure but did have MANY PLM failures. Link to comment
auger66 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Good point and understood. My experience is a little different. I had one ISY-99 a long time ago, and until a few days ago, six ISY-994s running. I finally stopped concurrently running my personal 994 and switched it completely over to Polisy last week. Never had a failure. My eisy will be here soon. I've also never had a PLM failure. Lucky, I guess. Link to comment
SSchmidt Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 May we all be blessed with a great eisy experience for many many years with no points of failure! Link to comment
