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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great home automation device

If you are looking for a great controller, you like the idea of Insteon/Z-Wave and you can understand the login from the screenshot of the program I posted with this review. then you will most likely like this little thing. It will support Insteon and Z-Wave devices out of the box, and if you need more integrations, get a Raspberry Pi and install the Polyglot software and you can work with multiple platforms. fast, it's incredibly reliable, it boots up in about 30 seconds, it uses almost no power even if you include multilingualism, and it's VERY powerful. Of course, this doesn't give you an impressive web interface. You may call the Java-based control interface a bit outdated, but automation is not a remote control with a fancy interface, automation is something that happens automatically for you without further human intervention. Even if you like interacting with this thing, you can add multiple Insteon keyboards and decide which actions or groups of actions to perform just by pressing the panel buttons. You can use all of its scenes, I call it Automation, and within the ISY interface it's mostly called Programs. Fear not, it's not difficult to use and is VERY flexible and powerful. Again, if you understand the logic of the program screenshot, you will be successful. Hope that helps!
