Newbie Setup Help For Existing Insteon/X10

[scholarwarrior]

I have a setup with multiple insteon and x10 switches installed and working, along with an x10 WM100 wifi hub. 

I wanted more automation and was directed at EISY by Insteon.  I have IoX 5.8.4 and a Insteon PLM.  The PLM shows "71.1C.1 v9E / Connected"

When i try Link Mgt / Start Linking it goes into a scan mode but detects nothing and nothing changes.  This is true whether or not I press the set button on any of the Insteon switches.  Most of my insteon devices are circa 2004, but I have a newer 2477s insteon switch and it is not recognized either.

So how do I add the insteon devices to the EISY and how do I add X10 devices? Help!

Insteon was launched in 2005, are you sure about the date of your insteon devices. If they're older devices then they're powerline only and don't have the dual band technology (powerline and RF)

What is the date code and model number of your PLM, The information is on the PLM sticker

You mention that your eisy firmware is 5.84, what is your UI version. You can find that by clicking on Help | About on the admin console.

I think you should forget about X10. It's an outdated technology. Insteon is far superior.

Prior to moving over to the EISY what were you using to control your Insteon devices.
