MrBill: I don't blame ISY or UDI for anything.
I'm just done spending on Insteon and I blame myself for where I am.
Stusviews: again not "isy's fault".
I need MQTT to continue the integration already have with all kinds of other device and services like online logging, charting, REST client and server, Ecobee, Rainforest, Chamberlain, some backwater devices, etc.
ISY couldn't bend Insteon into exactly what I want but most people won't need or want my (very custom) criteria.
