I'm selling the house, along with all the Insteon hardware including eisy. I've finished cleaning up links, removing Keypadlinc custom labels to reflect the fact that Lamplincs etc. are going away, and generally dumbing it down a little bit to make it less intimidating to the future owner.

Has anyone put something together for a new owner as an introduction to Instean, and even programming on the eisy, so I can steal some ideas and not fully reinvent the wheel? My plan is to put together a lot of documents in PDF form on a thumb drive, plus some personally written information about the structure of it.

Might as well ask here too how to pass on ownership for the Portal.

90% of the answer is from the buyer. If it's a techie, they might be delighted. If they shun technology, it could be a support nightmare.

I would suggest completely removing any programs/timers. Your schedule of events might not line up with the new owner. Also, be sure that all switches work even if the eisy isn't installed. If the new buyers have a home inspection part of that would more than likely include testing each switch that it operates as expected and logically turns on items as it should. You don't want something to fail and cause you or the new owner unnecessary expense because it's "automated".

I agree with the programs being off, I did just that.

and Guy, you're 100% correct, the techie aspects can be a turn-off so I want to provide something to instruct on how to do maintenance such as replacing a switch and putting it back into the scene.
