Review on 🏠 UD ISY994i ZW+/IR PRO: Z-Wave Plus Certified Home Automation Controller - Alexa/Google Home Compatible by David Blackstock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big. But not for everyone

The ISY9941 is an extremely reliable and powerful device that deserves respect. But it's not for everyone, just like Ferrari isn't for everyone. In the wrong hands you will crumble and burn. It is best suited for people with a technical background and/or time to learn how to use it. While the system is powerful, it doesn't hold your hand and doesn't offer friendly "wizards" to set it up. This, combined with the fact that the software's implementation is "crude" and quirky, will turn the casual user's mind. If you're looking for the most powerful and flexible home automation solution that doesn't lock you into any ecosystem, this is the answer. If you're a regular user wanting to control multiple lights and a thermostat, go ahead.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Expensive
