starting with ALL new switches - Recommendations?
I would recommend radio ra3 if you can afford it and after that, Insteon i3 devices. I use Ra3 with control 4 but it does work with eisy via a node server. The only issue would be hybrid keypads since only the main load works with the node server. There are tricks you can still use to "trick" the system but that may not be palatable solution for you. The sunnata style dimmers and switches though work without issue (unless you use double taps for alot of programming). I3 is the new Insteon line. Definitely worth it from a looks and performance standpoint. Leave shouldn't even be considered a serious lighting protocol. It's extremely limiting in style and operation.

Test Hookup Device for INSTEON Switches
When I used insteon. I had a bulb added to mine to make sure that they were operable as well.

Newbe Insteon + X10 + Zwave
It is self contained which is why yours has continued to work even though it's been over a year since support ended. The fee is for udi to manually transfer modules over from one to another since it's a device that they no longer support. With that said, if you're buying an isy that already has zwave, there would be nothing for udi to do. You would just back up and restore your isy to the new. Once done, add your zwave devices.

Oh, you're fancy.

NEW....Hue Bridge Pro (New Black Unit)
Goodness Mr early adopter... How is the bridge outside of the system? Do you notice a difference? Have you tried to see if network resources work with it?

Changing Hue color/temperature with the light off.
I'm assuming that you're telling the lights to turn "on" in those situations. Why not make an "on" program and set that to the color temp you want?

Changing Hue color/temperature with the light off.
Network resources can also be used if he goes the program route. Then the only color used would be what is chosen
-
Changing Hue color/temperature with the light off.
Since you're using programs for everything else, why cant you use a program for when you physically trigger the light switch to turn on? Then you can have it turn on to the color temp that you desire.

Migrating from an ISY994 to an eisy
Are you sure? Part of the instructions says for you to plug your PLM into your eisy. With you leaving the plm on the isy, the EISY cannot read your insteon network.

Recent eisy migration from ISY994-Scenes messed up.
The PLM isnt attached to the EISY to update anything.

eisy upgrade, what am I getting?
i no longer use UDI and insteon due to me switching to Control 4 and Ra3. I wouldnt sleep on the marketing. The increased speed from when I used insteon, zwave, and hue with Polisy was noticeable (programs). That alone made the change worthwhile. Had EISY supported Ra3, I would've used that instead of C4. Additional note for those that may read this: EISY does support RA3 dimmers, switches, via caseta node server. Insteon I3 devices are worth switching to if starting fresh with insteon. If Ra3 never came out, I would've been using those. They are much higher quality when it comes to look and feel compared to the old ones. I wouldn't rip out my system to use them though. With that said, since the speed difference and other technologies are irrelevant to you, I don't see any reason for you to swap from one to the other. I know they've started on a new web based interface but I think that's only for beta testers right now.

Scenes Not Quite Right After New PLM Install
I'd start from the begining to ensure each step was followed correctly. Unplug Plm and isy. Note Plm Insteon address. Plug Plm in while holding the set button to factory reset. Once beeping stops, let go. Wait 30 seconds and plug isy into power. Verify new pom is showing in isy. Once done, go to file>restore plm>restore devices.

Hue built-in 'Set Hue Scene' works but will not save
When I used my polisy, I did this using network resources.
-
Why did I have to recreate my scene?
I don't this is Plm issue since this only happens with the same set of devices. Besides that, Insteon links are stored on the devices themselves so a bad Plm wouldn't affect local operation of the devices. I agree with Guy that a switch is probably going bad. I'd start with the controlled switch when you start your tests

Intermittent Z-Wave disappearance
Are you sure that your switches are Lutron? Lutron doesn't make zwave switches. If they are indeed Lutron, they wouldn't be part of your zwave mesh which would explain some things.
