Thanks Mikel: As for my security system, I currently have an Apex Destiny 6100 system with an RS232 interface. I have created some programs that can alert me via texting or email. For the ISY I would like to be able to communicate with it from programs of my own creation so I need to find out how this can be done with the ISY. I will need to look further into this on your forums or on your website. Thanks for the response on reliability. DickG

Michel (or anyone else): I am considering the ISY-99i and very interested in reliability issues such as in this thread (and others). I have been using X10 and Insteon with a different control program for many years and would like to move to Insteon predominantly and have simpler internet access. But I use my control programs for lighting, security and irrigation aspects that need to be reliable when I am away for long periods. I am concerned with reliability through temporary power failures and temporary lack of internet access (simultaneous or not). I have noted different topics talking about not rebooting properly, freezing, etc. Obviously if power fails or internet access is gone, that is one thing, but it must come up and work properly and be accessible once they are restored without needing local help. What can you say today about the ISY-99i as far as these issues? Thanks dickG
