Liftoff 2025!

2024 was a year of hard work, challenges, and persistence. Despite facing multiple hurdles—especially with getting Matter to work—we never gave up. And now, we’re thrilled to share that we’ve not only overcome those challenges but made significant strides forward!

Come January 2025, you’ll be able to:

Link Matter Devices 

  • Link WiFi-based Matter switches/plugins directly.
  • Link Thread-based Matter switches/plugins through the Nest Hub (2nd Gen) or Apple HomePod.
  • All through UD Mobile!

Checkout this awesome video.

Support for additional Matter clusters coming shortly thereafter.

Integrate Apple HomeKit (INSTEON)

Here’s a short video for your viewing pleasure. Z-Wave/Zigbee coming shortly thereafter.

Get a Performance Boost from OS 14.1

  • 14.1 is snappier, more secure, and faster to boot.

And the Unfathomable!

  • We laid the groundwork for the long-awaited sunset of the dreaded Java-based Admin Console!

 

We’ve made it easier than ever to migrate from your 994!

  • For INSTEON devices, migration is as simple as a backup and restore.
  • If you’re using a 500 series Z-Wave unit (models with ZW+), migration is also easy but may require some manual intervention.
  • Your ISY Portal licenses and Alexa/Google Home configurations transfer with a single click.
  • Extend your system with 100s of plugins: [Click here for the list]
