What Is The Difference Between Isy And The Adi Ocelot - Universal Devices ISY-994i User Manual

automation programs. Planned support for the EZBridge include "HouseLinc" from
Smarthome, "mControl" from Embedded Automation or "Indigo" from Perceptive
Automation.
• In short, with EZBridge IP, you still need to either install their free "utility" or buy
another home automation software (HouseLinc, mControl, or Indigo) to be installed
on your computer (stationary). ISY is fully self-contained: you do not need to install
any software on any computer. If you have Java (jre 1.5+) installed, you can access
the system, the GUI, and all the functionalities from any computer on the network or
from the internet using the ISP's IP address.
24.3.3

What is the difference between ISY and the ADI Ocelot?

• There is a discussion on this topic in another thread (UDI Forum).
24.4 Development
24.4.1 What is the latest firmware version?
• You can find the firmware version history on the forum:
devices.com/viewforum.php?f=25&sid=23fca4d0f38d1dc9ecfe6b12c9b160f5
• See below for older version history
24.4.2 What device does the ISY use to communicate with the INSTEON
network?
• The ISY does not use the INSTEON Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), it uses
INSTEON Programmable Logic Modem (PLM). The PLC has APIs that are not
necessary for ISY network communication. The ISY has been designed to work with
the INSTEON protocol directly.
24.4.3 So, am I going to have to pay for the SDK?
• Our goal and motto is to make home automation affordable for everyone. Initial
release of the SDKs will be free for development use (you would still need to buy
one of the ISY units) with email/forum support.
• Forum support can be found here:
devices.com/viewforum.php?f=2
24.4.4 With the ISY what will the SDK and API provide?
• With ISY, 3rd party software developers can use our SDK to communicate with ISY
and perform all the functions that can be performed from our GUI. In short, our Web
Services and APIs mask the user from having to know "any" INSTEON oriented
