My ISY994i z-wave ir-pro seems to be dying. I was hoping it might be cables, power supply, sd card or something else fixable but I'm striking out on everything. The last thing I tried to do was put a new 16GB sd card in but it just freezes whenever I type the FS command in a telnet terminal.

If I upgrade to an eisy, what version should I get? What I'm really hoping for is being able to get an eisy and restore from a recent ISY backup but when polisy came out, I think the upgrade path wasn't so simple so I never upgraded. I have 200+ insteon devices and 150+ programs.

I'm guessing from the lack of responses that the current eisy platform may not be as prolific as the old isy devices where there were dozens of active threads every single day.

More details on my current setup. No z-wave. I am using DSC and CAI integrations through the old Nodelink server running in a container on my nas. Have some polyglot integrations but could dumb those as they've gone stale and I don't really use them.

All the rest of my integrations to other devices to and from are just a tone of network resources (posting commands to URLs with parameters and such) and triggering programs from extern http POSTS.

I'm surprised nobody has created a legacy containerized ISY emulator using the usb-rj45 cable to the PLM.

A migration like yours (no Zwave) would be quite straightforward, if you have a good backup. The version you get (r2 vs lite) doesn't really matter on a lighter use system like you appear to have.

Yes it's quieter here lately. Maybe due to there being little in terms of new releases. The upcoming thing is Matter, and that will take time. Then again, quiet is usually an indication of stability, not a bad thing.

Yes, upgrade. I have a more complex system in number of devices and plugins. The only issue I had migrating was some older Schlage ZWave deadbolts. With Michel’s help got them over. Eventually replace them with new WiFi and matter versions to get Apple Key.

As mentioned, it’s been relatively quite here but UD team are busy making big investments in the ecosystem to move us all forward on the eISY hardware.

Any idea how seamless or not moving the the DSC integration over would be? I'm currently using NodeLink Server with DSC and CAI node servers. Does eisy still support the node server interface? The DSC server is for my alarm system integration and the CAI web control boards are sprinkled around the house and integrate digital i/o for open/close door sensors, solenoid control for various devices, and analog i/o for tons of sensors. Half of my 300+ ISY programs use DSC or CAI nodes.

I used nodelink too and used it for a short time after the migration to eISY. Io_guy was great developer but nodelink no longer has active support.

Therefore I moved over to the DSC polyglot plugin and it is excellent. The author bpowers is fantastic developer providing support. Took a little time but was not hard. Planning was biggest work

I don’t know about CAI. If it’s in the plugin store, (forum has a sub-site for each one too) it likely is good but some of the plugin authors are better than others.

Until it breaks, you could continue to use nodelink. I used several of its nodes and migrated them one at a time to plugins.
