Universal Devices ISY994i/IR PRO Controller - Insteon & IR Support

The ISY994i/IR Pro is one of the most advanced Insteon controllers on the market and has numerous features to satisfy the most advanced DIY'er or seasoned home control enthusiast. If you need unbridled control,?an ISY controller?is for you.

The ISY994i/IR Pro supports up to 1,024 devices and scenes and a maximum of 1,000 programs. The ISY994i/IR Pro controller is able to configure and program Insteon devices using Insteon native protocols and specifications. This allows it to directly write to Insteon devices internally instead of just in the controller, creating a more robust network. You can set up timer events and custom event triggers, as well as monitor and control all the Insteon -compatible devices in your home from any web-browser anywhere in the world. Now you can check if the lights in your house were left on and remotely control them from your computer at the office. The IR model allows you to program your infrared universal remote to control all your Insteon /X10 devices and scenes. The PRO model extends the capabilities of the ISY for extremely large installations.

Insteon Control

For Insteon control this device must be paried with an Insteon Dual-Band PLM Serial Interface. The PLM allows for direct communication with your existing Insteon network from the ISY994i/IR Pro controller. The PLM features built-in dual-band technology that sends and receives Insteon signals via powerline and radio frequency (RF), so it doubles as an Access Point. This makes it ideal for new Insteon installs if you have or plan to use an RF-only Insteon-compatible devices like a Mini Remote, Thermostat, Motion Sensor, Open/Close Sensor.

Additional Features

• Control other network-enabled devices using an optional Network Module (RS-232 devices can be controlled using an ELK IP232 or Global Cache GC-100 and more)
• Can be field upgraded to IR platform

Extends the capabilities of the ISY994i Series

• An expansion slot which could be utilized to install and support other protocols such as a Zigbee and Z-Wave
• Control other network-enabled devices using an optional Network Module (RS-232 devices can be controlled using an ELK IP232 or Global Cache GC-100 and more)
• Non IR models can be field upgraded to IR platform

Please Note

The ISY994i/IR Pro requires an Insteon Serial PowerLinc Modem PLM (sold separately) or available on a Kit.

ISY994i/IR Pro does provide a port for an optional AC adapter for instances where the PLM does not supply power, or the user prefers to supply power independent of the PLM (for example, PLM 2413S).

Agave Home Automation for Insteon, Zwave and X10 control via ISY

Agave - ISY app for mobile home automation of Insteon and Z-Wave devices. Agave Home Automation allows for seamless, secure and customizable remote access to your Universal Devices ISY Controller from your Android smartphone and tablet

Many Insteon and Z-Wave devices can be controlled through ISY using Agave. If you find one that isnt supported, contact the developer (well need a node dump of the device from an ISY).

Agave can control your ELK M1 Home Security system through your ISY. Arm and disarm in all Elk modes including status of and control of bypass of all of your Elk zones.

Agave works with your favorite Insteon devices (requires an Insteon-compatible ISY). Whether you want to control an Insteon Thermostat, LED light bulb, On/Off Switch Relay, Dimmer switch, IO Linc Sensor/Relay, Triggerlinc Open/Close sensor, Motion sensor (2420 verified), smoke sensor, or an EZFlora/lawn sprinkler, Agave works for you. As new Insteon devices are released, we work to add them quickly to Agave.

Agave works with several Z-Wave devices (requires a Z-Wave compatible ISY). Schlage Door locks, thermostats, on/off and dimmable switches, MIMOLite sensors, and Aeon Multisensors can be controlled through Agave. If you have a Z-Wave device that isnt already added to Agave, well work with you to get it added quickly (please contact the developer!).

Agave can connect to your ISY using any combination of the following methods in the order

• Direct Connection via private home network (local) connection (usually the primary connection)
• Direct Connection via external network/cellular data connection (may require port forwarding on router) (often the secondary connection)
• UDI Portal (Requires subscription through UDI)
