tibbar Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Hello. I'm about ready to upgrade ISY 994i (have it for 11 years) to Eisy. I would like to hold off buying Zmatter board. I have a couple dozen Zwave devices and bunch of Insteon. 1. Can I use Eisy with Aeon Labs Z-stick? 2. Will I retain current zwave functionality ? 3. Will my ISY back up work with Eisy+Aeon Labs Z-stick? 4.When eventually I'll upgrade to Zmatter board will Eisy +Z-stick back up work? Thanks.

From the UD migration document: The original implementation on Eisy / Polisy can use generic Z-Wave controllers such as the Zooz stick, or, it can use the ZMatter Z-Wave controller (either board or USB dongle). The ZMatter Z-Wave implementation can only use the ZMatter Z-Wave controller (either board or USB dongle).
tibbar Posted September 23, 2023 Author Posted September 23, 2023 Thanks @DennisC. Any idea if Zwave backups between hubs and controllers would work?

I believe moving from Z-stick to ZMatter is done through a ZWave migration, not a backup. I don't recall seeing the option of doing a ZWave migration on eisy. However, maybe I don't see it because I am not running a Z-stick on eisy. Might be best to confirm with UD via a support ticket.
