Is Your Home Ready for Halloween?
Get 13% discount to upgrade to eisy, and spookify your guests with Halloween Automation!
With the help of the Ring, Hue, LiFX, and Sonos plugins, you can turn your home into a haunted house! For example, you could turn on a fog machine as a guest arrives, turn on or change the color of lights (such as Hue/LiFX), or perhaps a strobe light. And whenever the guest rings the doorbell, you could play sound effects through Sonos.
With over 120 plugins available for eisy, the possibilities are endless!
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 5.2.0+ 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.
If your 994 has an older firmware than 5.2.0, then you need to upgrade the firmware level first and we can help you with that as well.
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

Gents –
How do I upgrade the firmware on my 994 to 5.2.0+ from what I recall is in the 3.x range so that I can replace my 994 with the eisy? I don’t see any files on the website to do this? Any instructions and file location would be appreciated, as this has delayed my upgrading to the eisy.

Hi Michael,
Here are the instructions: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/33287-534-isy994-last-release-for-isy994/. This said, we are currently working on a firmware that allows you to upload a 4.9 backup (without Z-Wave). We should have it ready next week.
With kind regards,
Michel

Do you have an ETA on the Zmatter USB will be back in stock? I’d like to take advantage of the sale and transition to the Eisy, but if I have to wait very long for zwave, it may not be worth it.
