Important Security Notice

Unauthorized Access

On 03/08/2021, there was unauthorized access to one of our databases  containing user profile information. We have since blocked this unauthorized access and made additional changes to our technical infrastructure to prevent future incidents. 

In order to provide single sign-on, and strengthen our security, early last year we started offering ISY Portal for authentication and authorization in addition to the website’s default sign-in option. ISY Portal has not been impacted by this unauthorized access. And, going forward, ISY Portal will be the only available option for signing in into your account. Although all the passwords in the compromised database are stored encrypted (one way hash), if you used the same password in ISY Portal, we strongly recommend changing it to something else. This site is a good source for generating strong and random passwords.

Please note that, we do not store any credit card and/or payment information anywhere in our infrastructure. 

Since the compromised system was first discovered, we have been working diligently and methodically to examine, test, and secure each component of our system and ensure it is safe. Earning your trust through the operation of secure services will always be our highest priority. We deeply regret this incident and apologize for the inconvenience. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Introducing UD Mobile for Android

UD Mobile Thrives On Nodes!

We developed UD Mobile from the ground up to not only integrate with your Z-Wave, INSTEON, X10 devices, but also to integrate with all your ISY’s node servers. Yes! Using UD Mobile, you can now monitor and control your Ecobee, Hue, Ring, Tesla, Solar Edge, Sonos, Lutron, Harmony Hub, ELK, all the climate services, etc.

In addition, and thanks to our very active, enthusiastic, and ingenious developer community, we are now at 100 full featured Polys (Node Servers) including Lutron (Radio RA and Caseta), Camect, ELK, and many more climate services.

To celebrate, for a limited time, get 20% discount on Polisy and Polisy PRO.

Lutron

Whether you want to integration with Lutron Shades or contemplating and upgrade to a more professional lighting solution, this node server is for you. You can integrate pretty much any Lutron device/sensor limited only to your Lutron system (Radio RA vs. Caseta).

camect

 

Say what? camect is an AI based, local and private camera recording and monitoring hub. It can detect such things as people, faces, deliveries, insects, animals, wind, etc. With this node server, you can automate what should happen based on what the camect detects.

This very nice video by Steve Lee captures the essence.

ELK

This node server makes ELK zones, inputs, and outputs as native ISY nodes. Combine with camect, and make Fort Knox jealous!

20% Discount for Polisy and Polisy PRO

The Wait Is Over!

5.3.0 Is Now Official
and
Z-Wave Plus Certified

“Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.” ~ Moliere

We have been working on 5x firmware for about 5 years now while, along the way, we developed Polyglot, Polyglot Cloud, Polisy and – thanks to our fabulous developer community – about 90 node servers. We are extremely happy to announce that 5.3 firmware is now official and it’s Z-Wave Plus certified!

Important Notes:

  • Firmware releases 5.2+ do not work with older versions of the Z-Wave Module (300 series). Please take a look at the back of your ISY. If you see a blue LED next to the Port A jack, then you have an older version of the Z-Wave dongle. Please check upgrade eligibility, discount, and ordering, and assembly instructions. Alternatively, you can upgrade your ISY to ISY994i ZW+ Series.
  • Upgrade from 4.x firmware to 5.x firmware is not automatic and requires manual intervention. If you wish to upgrade to 5.3, please carefully review these instructions

Discount:

As a token of our appreciation for your patience during our journey to 5.3, for a very limited time, we are offering 20% discount on ISY994i ZW+ Series, and Polisy. Please use the following coupon code at checkout:

To Polisy and Beyond!

The long wait is finally over: Polisy is now shipping! Polisy is ISY’s companion that extends your automation wishes to infinity and beyond. Click a couple of buttons and integrate with weather services, Philips Hue, LiFX, Ecobee, Roomba, Sonos, Tesla, SolarEdge, and a growing list of other things.

Polisy PRO With Dual Band WiFi and Bluetooth (4.0)

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.

 

 

Polisy is preconfigured with our revolutionary Polyglot framework that allows integration of anything into ISY. 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.
