This was just a joke... i dont think this is convenient to use...

I have used that before, ISY has no audio output so we need a raspberry pi to work... somehow I "over used it" and google api blocked my ip... no more TTS. But Google TTS voice is the nicest one... im still using TTS through Rpi but i would love to find a way to trigger the google home to speak.

Hi guys... I made my own way of sending command to google to speak... its a funny way though:

Let me know what you guys think about this solution. I was trying to make a TTS using Google platform instead of Raspberry Pi... I gave up and made this video for the matter of fun and to accomplish my goal. I did it! I want to create a channel on Youtube called Automate That! where I would make integration of funny things just for the matter of possibility. Subscribe to my channel please? Thank you!

Oh mannnnnn...? I already had a server running all my notifications and programs on the Rpi i installed the node... Everything stopped working, even the display i had with all the status of my home... ?

Thanks for all the replies. In regards of Samsung Smartthings, Im not saying anything about their system, I made it clear in regards of their UI and Design, it looks fresh, light, modern, up to date. Mobilinc to me looks like a Microsoft Windows 3.1 or the first iphone OS Agree on the fact that ISY is an automated product, but we do need some controls over the internet to make changes. Im embarrassed offering Mobilinc as the option to my clients when I fully automated their home. I dont think UD would be competing against Mobilinc since looks like Mobilinc is not even competing... Its been the same app since day one. Look at all Operational Systems. Even not being a huge fan of iphones, but if you see what their UI looked when they launched and whats now, its a completely different UI. Mobilinc for being an application company, should be on top of this too. Ive tried Agave and eKeypad ... still think Mobilinc has a bigger potential. What I want to achieve is us agreeing on this and call their attention for a better product, Im sure all of you agreed that the price for the app was high compared to what we get... (not even mentioning all the extra module inside of the app) just the fact that the last update was in 2015, that says a lot.

Hi guys. Ive been using ISY for around 10 years now... in those 10 years ive tried different systems but for ME there is nothing better than ISY... but whats killing me and I think we should be together on this, is a fact that UD doesnt have their own app for ISY. Mobilinc is pretty much the only "ok" one out there and looks like they just dont care... Now we have the new poliglot feature and nodes that mobilinc doesnt know how to read... besides that, their user interface is ugly, limited, expensive, monthly paid and outdated... look at apps like NeoControl... even Samsung Smartthings... I just think this is like a really good singer with the worst manager... bad representing... I dont mean to be protesting here but i think we need a change... Ive been sending messages to Mobilinc support and they said they were working on something but that was last year, who knows... "Thanks for reaching out! I’m right in the middle of writing a brand new MobiLinc app that unifies iOS and Android as well as completely overhauls the UI to make it sleek and modern. I’ll add your email to the beta invite list when I’m ready to launch for beta testing…Planning on early Q1 2019"

Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I will get some more info in regards of this system! Thanks a lot!

Well, Im an integrator. These days people are "educated" in regards of home automation. So me having experience with Smartthings is a plus, always... even though its garbage, it steals all of your information and sell it to 3rd party people you dont know, I want to get familiar and see all the pros and cons. So answering the question about why Smartthings, it is the most one that all customers with low budget question me about. So if I can go and make some dollars helping them, why not... But because I like to go all in, I want to dive into it to see all possibilities.

Price-wise and open more options inside the automation... I know its zigbee but now I will be able to use Zigbee devices too.

Hi guys, Im reviving this... I want to add a ST hub to my ISY for the simple purpose of read their Multi Purpose Sensors (which I need them to read temperature in each room). Do you guys know if me adding the ST hub to ISY, I would be able to run ISY programs based on Sensors readings? My idea is to read the temperature in each room to make a program to run booster fans inside the air ducts to bring heat/cold air to those rooms in need... Thanks in advance guys

Are you familiar with Raspberry Pi? Rpi goes really well with ISY for this "extra" programming. Setup a webserver on the RPi with php enabled Create a php file that would receive the information from network Resource and create the TXT file with the info you want. You can even send the variable back to ISY using Rpi. If you need help setting this up, let me know, Thiago

Have you considered a raspberry pi for this project? I tried using routines for alexa and that sucks... It takes around 1 minute for you to get the audible alert. Using Network Resources you can trigger the rpi to say whatever you want. Its way easier and once you have the system running, you only need to change the line on the Network Resource for each alert...

Yep, this solution needs more knowledge than I have... Thanks guys for all the input

I actually had to disable my Query All program because it was triggering my garage to open... I don't know why... that must be the reason then...
