Migration to eisy Just Got Easier!
Have you been holding off upgrading to eisy because of the 994 firmware requirements? Well, hold off no more as migration to eisy has never been easier! Simply backup your 994 with firmware versions 4x or 5x and then restore them onto your new eisy.
Ah, and don’t forget to get 12% discount on your purchase.
Why should I upgrade?
- 994 is no longer supported.
- Support for newer INSTEON i3 products.
- Instant push notifications to UD Mobile from your programs.
- Geo Fencing lets eisy perform different tasks based on your location.
- Camera support on UD Mobile.
- Integration with over 120 other devices and services such as Ring, Ecobee, ELK, Tesla, Roomba, Wemo, Sonos and Weather Services.
- Minimal learning curve because you can still use the same familiar Admin Console interface.
How easy is it to upgrade?
If you have a 994 with firmware versions 4.x or 5.x and don’t have any Z-Wave devices, it’s as easy as:
- Backing up your 994.
- Disconnecting the PLM from your 994 and connect it to a USB port on eisy using the Serial PLM Kit.
- With one click, migrate your ISY Portal License as well as Alexa and Google Home configurations to your new eisy.
If you do have Z-Wave devices, and due to the nature of Z-Wave routing algorithms, migration might not be as seamless. Here’s the link to the complete migration instructions.
What do I need?
- 1 x eisy
- 1 x Serial PLM Kit
- If and only if you have Z-Wave devices that you want to migrate: 1 x ZMatter USB
What’s the discount coupon?
The discount coupon is 2UQHUJSB and it expires on 12/04/2023.

The migration instructions linked to by this page still say you need to upgrade your isy to 5.3.4. I assume that’s no longer true, which makes the instructions very confusing.

Hi Mike, correct, it no longer applies.

Michael, the eISY shows out of stock. Will it be back in stock while the coupon code is still valid?

Just tried to take advantage of the 12% discount for the home version of eisy and item comes up out of stock. Now what?
November 14, 2023 @ 8:47 am
So sorry, due to massive and unexpected demand, we ran out. We should have more by 11/25/2023.
With kind regards,
Michel

Hi Michael,
Yes, we’ll make sure of it.
With kind regards,

Hi Michel,
It’s currently out of stock. Will you be extending the 12% discount for preorders for when then the inventory returns, or is the deal no longer available?
November 15, 2023 @ 7:47 am
Hi Jason, yes.
With kind regards,

I’m still confused by this. I would like to pre-order an EISY today, for shipment after they arrive on the 25th, using the discount code that expires on the 20th. Yet your shopping cart won’t allow me to order an out-of-stock item. What exactly do I have to do to get the discount?
November 17, 2023 @ 10:33 am
Hello @C D Tavares,
Our primitive store does not support preorders. We should be able to start taking orders on Monday and extend the expiration date on the discount code.
With kind regards,
Michel

Michel,
I have been using an ISY994i for many years. I was disappointed when the announcement reached me that Insteon was dead. But surprised to realize that my programs still ran on time for several weeks. A month or so ago, the system failed all together. My program files were apparently on an old laptop. I had no knowledge of what the files were or how I could retrieve them. If I purchase an eisy HOME I’ll still need to somehow recover the program files or start over. What do you suggest?

Hi Terry,
Do you have any backups? It’s best to submit a ticket.

Hi, hoping to order the EISY (with 12% discount), any idea when it will be back in stock?
November 20, 2023 @ 11:54 am
Hi Dennis,
We should have them back in stock by next Tuesday. We’ll extend the expiration date on the coupon + make it available for ordering by tomorrow.
With kind regards,
Michel

Hi, Any idea when ZMatter will be back in stock?
November 24, 2023 @ 7:55 am
Hi Dennis,
The shipment is on the road and will be here by 11/30. So, 12/1.
With kind regards,

Hello, I have been with UD for about 10 years now as a basic home user with the 994i running about 50+ Insteon dimmers and keypads. I recently found a flaky dimmer and fired up the ISY UD user Admin window to make the update to the newly installed dimmer.
Glad I did as it found me on this page with the news of the “Bye Bye 994i.” My current interface works just fine but I can see the handwriting on the wall.
I read your recent “Migration to eisy just got easier” and have couple of questions just to make sure I understand.
I am currently running the 994i V4.73 —- this seems to match the easy ability to migrate over to the eisy—-Is this correct?
and I have a 2412S PLM—with this older model PLM (not the 2413S you mention) would you recommend buying the USB conversion cable you offer or just buying one of the Insteon 2413U model PLM?
Thanks and anxious to move into the future with UD and your eisy.

Hi Robert,
Yes, you can use 4.7.3 for easy migration. With regard to the PLM, it’s best to use your existing PLM in combination with our Serial PLM Kit. This way, you don’t have to restore the PLM (which is very intrusive).
With kind regards,
Michel
