Sorry. I was attempting a new thread, not a reply! GT

I just saw this......[emoji106] Latest News Z-Wave Scores Huge UL Win for Security, a First for Mesh Technology Z-Wave Scores Huge UL Win for Security, a First for Mesh Technology Latest super-secure Z-Wave technology mitigates smart-home hacking; will achieve UL 1023 compliance for intrusion, giving the home automation standard an edge in powering some 20 million security sensors and alarm panels each year.

I agree. Also the Nucleus, if I understand its capabilities, will act like a video intercom no matter where you are. Video intercom between L.A. And Cincinatti? No problem. At least that's how I understand it. Seems like it would be great for kids off at college or keeping watch on an elder, stuff like that. GT

I wonder what she means by Alexa AVS not currently supporting UD capability? GT

That stinks Michel. GT

If I understand correctly, multi channel support refers to devices such as the Aeon Labs power strip. The device has several receptacles but only one power cord. As it stands, it is not possible to control individual receptacle outlets on the strip. With multi channel support one could control and program each individual receptacle outlet. Please, anyone,need free to step in and correct me if I have misled here. Best, GT

It does make sense, rskirch, and thanks for the information.[emoji106] GT

Hey upstatemike. I too hope they do. I contacted the owner a few months ago and they said they were looking into it. I sincerely hope they got in touch with Michel. Their product could really take off if integrated properly with isy. I think it may be just another intercom if not. See my emails below.

If not it can go into V2 which is an automatic software update. Thank you for the info.

I'm cc'ing our CTO, Isaac, who loves all the home automation stuff (and personally built the UPnP layer into our software). Isaac, do you want to take a look at this device that Larry found?

I'm very supportive because I think you have a great story behind a great product. Add to that the fact that you're "real" as opposed to all these plastic business people I see every day. I'm not sure about the UPnP being all you'd need, but it may be. At a glance the isy might seem to be an insteon hub, but it is much more. It is a stand alone home automation controller that can have Z-wave, zigbee, RF, can control over 1k devices, scenes, etc. With the release of update 5xx the isy can now operate with nodes. Here is a link to a review of the isy. http://thedocsworld.net/isy-994i-home-automation-at-its-best/ I understand you have lots on your plate Jonathan, but this device justifies you taking a closer look and maybe considering how Nucleus working in conjunction with isy could open up some amazing possibilities.

Thank you for being so supportive! Looking at the Universal Devices website, it looks like the isy-994i is an Insteon hub. If so, we may already support it; we are integrated with Insteon's own hub via UPnP. Do you think that would cover the isy-994i as well?

I just got word of your delay till April. No worries! Take as long as it takes to have a solid product without all the issues of a "Smart Things" or Wink. I'm writing this hoping you might contact Michel Kohanim from Universal Devices and allow integration of the isy-994i platforms of home automation. I own one of his units and I can tell you, it is the most powerful HA controller on the market. If your Nucleus has voice control and could have Zwave or some other way to integrate with the isy-994i, yours would be a very popular product indeed, more so than it is sure to already be. His email is: UDI Tech Support Michel Kohanim Universal Devices, Inc. support@universal-devices.com I hope you don't mind my making this suggestion. It is not that Nucleus isn't good. But perhaps there is a way it can be better. If nucleus could talk to isy-994i, that would be a game changer. We can already talk thru Amazon Echo with isy-994i, but Amazon will not work with Michel and we have to use a Hue hub emulator. It works but is half baked. I imagine Nucleus could be the "Mercedes" of Echos. Best regards and much success! I'm looking forward to April! L. Guitartexan LEED AP BC+D INFRARED SURVEYOR This email is * UNCLASSIFIED * GT

Primary and secondary? GT

I would if I worked at a nuclear power plant.[emoji89] GT

GBC- Mine did the same yesterday. I logged out and came back tonight and I now have it. GT

Yes, just as good. GT

I simply must add my praise to what others have said here Barry. You are one of the most unselfish and uber experienced engineers to grace this forum. I and many others tip our hats to you and thank you for your gracious kindness. [emoji106] GT

Has everyone seen this today? I just got an email...... "Echo now supports Insteon connected devices, including the Insteon Starter Kit, Dimmer Switch, and On/Off Switch—so now you have even more ways to control your lights, switches, and appliances at home without ever lifting a finger. Use Echo to switch on the lights from your bed or dim them from your couch to watch a movie. A full list of Echo compatible devices can be found here. Getting started with Insteon is easy. Just connect your devices to the Insteon Hub via the Insteon Hub App and name your devices in the Insteon Hub App. Next, link your Insteon account in the Alexa App. Then, say "Alexa, discover my devices." With a Dimmer Switch and On/Off Switch you can control lights and appliances like TVs and popcorn makers with Echo. Just ask: "Alexa, turn on the TV." "Alexa, turn popcorn on." "Alexa, dim the lights." Also new this week, your Alexa Shopping List is now easily accessible on Amazon.com. When you visit Amazon using your computer or tablet, you will see a link to your Alexa Shopping List on the homepage, and also in the Wish List menu, where you can easily find and purchase the exact items you want. You can also add, edit, delete, or mark items completed. If you're on your mobile device, just use the Alexa App to view your Shopping List and search Amazon for results." GT

Thank you very much Barry Gordon. Not everyone is uber-techie and your easy to understand posts help tremendously. GT
