Hi Paul, thanks for taking the survey. I have added some more information on our official webpage with links to the survey.Sorry for the late response. http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~earlence/iotsurvey/index.html -Earlence

***************************** This study is now closed. Thanks all those who participated and gave us valuable responses. All email IDs selected in the drawing will be notified shortly (24-48 hours). ***************************** Hello Everyone I'm a student at the University of Michigan. I'm conducting some research into the ISY and have created a survey for users. Every participant who enters his/her email id towards the end of the survey will be entered into a drawing to win a $10 Amazon gift card (There are a total of 5 gift cards available; each randomly selected email ID gets one gift card). If you decide to enter your email address, we assure you that this information will not be shared with anyone and is used only for the purpose of contacting you if your email ID is selected in the drawing. Please note that every survey response will be reviewed manually and then entered into the drawing. The survey takes approximately 5 minutes. --LINKS REMOVED-- Your help is much appreciated! -Earlence

Hello everyone I have built a survey that attempts to catalog all useful third party apps using the ISY SDK in a single location so that it is easy to search and that people can easily find what they are looking for rather than searching through forum posts. I've made the form so that a user can edit the response after it is submitted as well. Please note that developers of these third party applications using the SDK could reply too! In fact, their responses would be the most valuable! http://goo.gl/forms/IxRBImNR0k For any questions or updates to the form, please contact me. -Earlence

Thanks for your reply, I know that thru the ISY rest interface, it's possible to get the programs by making a request to /rest/programs/pgm-id. So I'm wondering whether there is already something in the default java app or web app where I could get all the program XML. -Earlence

How can I dump the entire ISY configuration (all programs, all mappings from device names to device address, the works) from the java app or web interface? -Earlence

In the wiki, I came across the notify command: The 'Send Notification' command triggers the ISY to brodcast a notice via the configured providers. What does it do/mean? -Earlence

I'm looking for example programs, against which I could test my tool. I'm writing a tool that helps avoid such errors. Anyone who has experienced situations like this?

When the ISY program is exported, it is converted to XML. Is there is schema/format definition available so that I can see all possibilities? I am building a parser that converts the XML into a control flow graph and currently I'm working off example programs but it would be very helpful If I got a document detailing the possibilities in the XML format. -earlence

Yes, it is def. a bug in a person's implementation. I was just interested in hearing whether people have experienced these sort of bugs at all (and what were the bugs specifically). Often, writing programs so that errors cannot happen is a very difficult process

Also, just to be clear, a programming language is translated into some lower level representation before it can be executed. I am interested in that particular representation -- what it is for ISY and what does it look like. -earlence Aah okay. Thanks anyway -Earlence

Hi Michel, I was primarily interested in the home automation industry (since I'm writing an academic paper and I wanted to motivate why we chose ISY as the target for our research and not others. there are other motivations, but generally, having some kind of market data is helpful to introduce readers to the area of research). I do know that the most popular way to control an INSTEON network is with an ISY device and since INSTEON is quite well deployed, you could hypothesize that ISY is well deployed too, but to make that concrete, if I could say something like, to date, X million units of ISY have been shipped, that would be nice. By developers I meant people who write Android/iPhone/Windows smartphone/desktop apps that communicate with ISY over the SDK. -Earlence

Hi Michel Thanks for your reply Could you point me to which part of the SDK contains the information? I looked over the ISY-WS-SDK-Manual but didn't find anything related to the internal representation of programs. -Earlence

Even a rough number would be quite useful, if any UDI employee cares to comment

Yeah, something like that too.
