@RMichael - Did you end up going with multiple node server instances? How well does it work for you? I have a 5 bridge system (yes, I have quite a lot of lights) and while I have successfully gotten it to run on on a single instance it does seem to be quite laggy.

@Teken, I had not seen the Eaton product, but I had looked at the Leviton Load Center. For the Load Center I hadn't really considered it from an automation capacity, largely I was just thinking about the energy monitoring functionality. Looks from the PDF that Eaton is trying to tie in home automation switching to their panel infrastructure, which might be compelling if it worked well and was extensible. Thanks for sharing.

Teken, when you say "hybrid smart panel" are you talking about something like a Lutron RadioRA 2 or HomeWorks, or something else? The terminology is unfamiliar to me and a quick googling didn't turn up anything immediately relevant.

I'll probably take another run at it at some point when my family doesn't need to use light switches for a while. I tried a slightly earlier version of the 5.x release candidate previously and had so many weird issues I had to roll back to 4.x so I have been hesitant to try again.

So weather is gone in ISY 4.8.0 and as of now we need Polisy to get weather integration. But Polisy requires running the 5.x version of the ISY firmware and that has not yet been released. I don't want to run pre-release software as the core of my home automation, so I am left waiting on an official 5.x release. I see that 5.x went to RC1 in October of last year, but no news since. Any target date for the official release of 5.x? I want to know when I can have my weather integration back. Thanks.

I'm lucky enough to be building a new custom home and the time has come to figure out my automation approach. I went with Insteon in my current place, largely selected for the dual band wired/wireless support. I've been mostly happy with that choice although there are occasional signal hiccups, and I don't love my switch options. Obviously I love my ISY and want to keep that as the hub. My Polisy is gathering dust in a drawer because the ISY v5 build that was required wasn't stable enough and my house can't be a tech lab all the time. I use custom ISY programs and network resources to control all my Hue lights. I also make use of the Portal for some Amazon Echo integrations. I use eK ISY for my mobile controller, it's generally reliable but not very intuitive for others in my house. So my question is, what should I be thinking about this time around? Is Insteon still holding on even though the product line seems moribund? Is it time to go full ZWave? Has anyone found a reliable way to use Brilliant Switches with the ISY? What are you using for your mobile controller? What would you do if you could start over from scratch? Thanks in advance for gifting me with your opinions.

Hello all, Is there some way to configure the ISY to only accept secured (SSL/TLS) client connections? I can see in the dashboard where I can change the ports for both HTTP and and HTTPS, but there does not seem to be a way to turn off HTTP and configure it for HTTPS only. -Zac

Thanks Michel. Are those instructions for the current release? My interface does not really look like that. -Zac

Hi, Brand new owner of a ISY-994iZS/IR Pro here. My read of this thread is that it is possible to register the ISY-994iZS with a PG&E meter (or on the "HAN" as they like to call it). Can anyone confirm that for me?
