You\’ve been using ring for a while, and although it makes remote doorbelling rather easy, but you have been having a nagging feeling that something was missing. Well, of course! It was missing ISY994 till just a few moments ago. And, now, you can use your ring\’s ding and motion events in your ISY994 programs and ISY994 can control your ring\’s floodlights.
Of course, with everything ISY, the possibilities are limitless.
Optimization of connected devices based on Time-Of-Use rates
Customer interaction with smart speakers using Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant
The project will leverage the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) investment in the RATES (Retail Automated Trans active Energy System (RATES) pilot. The RATES pilot optimized connected devices based on real time prices received from the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) and enabled customers to interact with a smart speaker to gain insights into energy use. Modifications will be made to the RATES system to provide the requirements requested in this implementation (optimizing connected devices based on SCE residential TOU rates instead of real time prices).
Your gateway to integrating everything and anything with your ISY with a single button click! Such awesome things as Audio Video controllers, Tesla, Ring, Ecobee, Roomba, Weather Stations, Rachio, LiFX, SolarEdge, ….
Polisy is your plug & play Polyglot in a beautiful shiny box. Your ISY’s sidekick now and its destiny in the future.
Polisy is powerful. It boasts 1Ghz Quad Core AMD CPU, 4GB RAM, 32GB 3D NAND SSD, 3 x 1 GB Ethernet ports, and extensive I/O features. Its prowess is assured by a lean fine-tuned version of BSD Unix. Its security hardened by TPM boot. Its reliability, viability, and support is guaranteed by the same team that brought you the ISY.
For those not familiar with Polyglot, it’s our revolutionary framework that allows integration of anything into ISY with a single button click. These things show up just like any other device, can be included in scenes, and available in programs.
For instance, our Tesla Poly enables you to use battery range, state of charge, and your own preferencees – such as price of electricity – as conditions to automate when to charge/discharge. Or use an INSTEON / Z-Wave motion sensor on the ouside of your home as a trigger for your Tesla to honk the horn and flash the lights to thwart off intruders.
Polisy PRO With Dual Band WiFi and Bluetooth (4.0)
Polisy not only comes with Polyglot already configured and running, but also it automatically finds and commissions your ISY when attached. From thereon, you command/control both Polisy and ISY through one interface.
Native support for 3G/4G modems gives you the ability to go off the grid. Literally! And, if you are one of those maximum-connectivity types, get the Polisy PRO model which comes standard with Dual Band WiFi and Bluetooth (4.0).
And, by the way, Polisy comes with 2 year subscription to ISY Portal free of charge.
Lest we forget, if you are a geek like us, you would want to know that we value your geekiness so much so that:
If you have already published a Poly in our Polyglot store, you get Polisy for free
Verified developers get 50% discounts on all our products, modules, and bundles including the preorder for Polisy
You get Polisy in your hands before the general availability If you have not signed up as a developer yet, well,what are you waiting for?
Polisy will be available to the public in December of 2019. But …. [finale_countdown_timer campaign_id=”26313″ skip_rules= “yes”]
Services for IoT and Transactive Energy (TE) will be required to enable a truly smart grid. Michel Kohanim discusses UD\’s existing research, framework, complementing products/ecosystem that have seamlessly integrated IoT technologies and Smart Grid standards including Transactive Energy. OpenADR is a perfect fit for bringing all these services under one standardized umbrella.
The way we are going, pretty soon ISY will be driving your car and you can sit back and relax! Till then, bask in the awesome integration of ISY and Tesla and enjoy unprecedent automation and control!
Examples:
Use your preferences in ISY Programs to honk the horn, lock/unlock doors, open/close the sunroof, and flash the lights
Use battery range, state of charge, and your own preferences – such as price of electricity – as conditions to automate when to charge/discharge
Use a motion sensor on the outside of your home as a trigger for your Tesla to honk the horn and flash the lights to thwart off intruders
This milestone has been in the making for the past 12 years and for very good reasons. First and foremost, we had to make sure ISY was rock solid and feature packed. With 5.0.x firmware being very close to release, ISY is now the one and only product that lets you give your customers unprecedented levels of integration and comfort. ISY’s energy saving capabilities, such as OpenADR and Smart Meter integration, give you the tools to not only save energy and money for your customers but also apply for country wide rebates and incentives.
The other very important reason was our quest to make sure your investment in UD and ISY is not only safe but also profitable. With the ubiquity of low cost command/control hubs, we didn’t feel comfortable with our value proposition. Things have dramatically changed since then. We now have tens of thousands of registered customers on this site and not a week goes by that we are not asked for ISY professionals. Combine this with our utility and government contracts/grants, and you have a world class, reputable, and solid partner behind you.
Here’s a high level list of what you are getting with your membership:
Perhaps you have already heard of IoT – Internet of Things. IoT is pretty much meaningless without a purpose: how does it help anyone?
Michel Kohanim discusses UD\’s existing research, framework, complementing products/ecosystem that seamlessly integrate IoT technologies, Smart Grid standards, and AI assistants to help us all save money, save energy and save the planet.
You can now make RATES to be more accurate by letting it detect the energy usage for your devices. It’s magnificent. Here’s the link to the announcement.
