eisy-ui Is Ready. Admin Console Is Dying.

Is eisy-ui Ready?

Yes. eisy-ui now has more than 98% parity with Admin Console. You can add Insteon, Z-Wave, and Zigbee devices, manage scenes, and create new programs or edit existing ones, all from your browser with no Java required. In fact, adding devices has never been easier: just scan a QR code and let eisy figure out how to commission it.

And the gap is only going to widen. Every new feature we add to eisy-ui raises the chance that something in Admin Console breaks. Our development is moving forward in eisy-ui, and Admin Console is staying behind.


On December 15, 2026, we’re officially ending support for the Admin Console.
 

What This Means for eisy Users:

We’re excited to announce that the full feature release is now in production. Simply upgrade your packages from eisy-ui and say goodbye to Admin Console.
 
A huge thank you to everyone who tested eisy-ui. Your feedback helped shape this release, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
 

What This Means for ISY994 Users:

If your ISY994 is up and running and you don’t need to configure anything: nothing changes. Your unit keeps running on its own, no Admin Console required. That said, any settings not available in your mobile app may no longer be accessible once support ends. So, if there’s configuration work you’ve been putting off, now is the time to take care of it.
 

If you’re actively managing your setup by adding devices, editing programs, or adjusting configurations, this is your signal to upgrade to eisy now, while migration is easy, you have time, and the incentives are good. And if you already have an ISY Portal subscription, your annual fee drops by $15 a year.

Right now, upgrading is as affordable as it’s ever been. Use code BNG9BU7J to save 12% and get 1 free year of ISY Portal, valid through October 23, 2026.

* insteon requires a PLM. To use your existing PLM, you also need the Serial PLM Kit [ link ].
* Z-Wave and Zigbee require supported off-the-shelf dongles [ link]. 

Upgrading Is eisy!

Whether you choose eisy | home r2 or eisy | lite, migrating from your 994 is straightforward, and now easier than ever.

– What You’ll Need

– Simple Instructions

  • For Insteon devices, migration is as simple as a backup and restore.
