Some years ago, the old SmartHome convinced me to change from HAI to ISY/ELK as I remodeled my current house. They knew Leviton was quietly putting HAI to bed. The ISY was amazing and with the ELK integration I could do everything I could do with the HAI and had more options.
Three months ago I upgraded to the eisy and bought the ELK module. This is like comparing a Little Debbie pie to a a Marie Calendars pie. You get that much more. The module allows you to send different messages to the eisy based on events in the ELK. You aren’t limited to “Normal” “violated” and “trouble”.
While the migration to eisy wasn’t a “back up” and “restore” event, all of the issues are resolved and the house is now a lot closer to my last house which was a full Crestron/Lutron integration. This time I spend 1/10th as much and use an iPad as the main controller. The only real difference is that I could program prettier graphics in the touch screens.
