My ISY994i pro is starting to glitch and I'd very much like to not be dependent on UDI for yet another piece of hardware that I'll just have to replace in a few years.

I see my two main choices are 1) Use a PLM directly or 2) Get a Hub 2 and then integrate HA with the Hub.

I'd rather integrate directly with the PLM but it seems native Insteon scene management may be an issue unless this has been implemented in HA since. Otherwise if I want native scene management, I'd have to go Hub 2 which kind of sucks since that's the only thing I'd be using the Hub for.

Has anyone done an ISY to HA migration with stories to share?

I'm considering eisy but would rather take a route that depends on as little bespoke hardware as possible. I pretty much have to use a PLM with my Insteon ecosystem but I'm hoping that's the line I can draw at specialized hardware.

I started with UD back in the early 2000's with a an ISY-26. I think I paid <$200 for it. It served me very well for better than a dozen years. I then moved into the 994, it too served well only and until the mail notification stopped (not due to anything UD did wrong). The 994 cos around $200. When it became apparent that the 994 was going to be sidelined - I procrastinated for months. I finally, even though advised by UD to just hang on to it and give up on the email notifications, and knowing of possible issues I might have integrating my Schlage locks into a new eisy, I bought a new eisy for ~ $400 something. I even sold the old 994 for $100 to a guy who needed it for what it was! The transition from 994 to eisy could not have gone better. No issues - and I mean NO ISSUES. The locks were seamless and other than a few switch(s) that have had to be factory reset and restored my system has been 100%. Granted, I don't have a huge setup, < 50 total switches. My point being that I feel that UD (and more importantly Michel) are worth every penny I ever paid them. Their product works as advertised and support is second to no one. I will never utilize the eisy for 5% of its capability, but that's OK. I like stuff that works and my ISY(s) have always done that.
