I am going to replace mu ISY994 with a new EISY. I see on the product page that I should be able to use a current ISY994 backup to restore the configuration on my new EISY. I also plan to purchase a new Insteon USB PLM (I currently have a Serial PLM for the ISY994). Is there a documented upgrade path for this?

I assume I will do something like this:

1. Backup current ISY994 and power off/decommission the ISY994.
2. Install new EISY and bring it online on my network.
3. Plug new USB PLM into power and then EISY.
4. Restore the backup from step 1 on the new EISY.
5. Perform a PLM "Restore" on the new EISY to reprogram all links with the new PLM Insteon ID.

Am I on the right track?

Follow the instructions here exactly:

You're on the right track, assuming you don't have Z-wave

Your ISY must have the latest the latest firmware, 5.3.4 and have a current backup

Update the packages on your eisy prior to migration and follow the migration guide below.
