awysocki Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Anybody see the EZServ, how does it differ from the ISY, First thing I see is the EZServ can set a static IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Kohanim Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 awysocki, You can set a static IP address using ISY as well. At a very high level: You can use ISY to configure all your INSTEON devices/scenes You can use ISY to create most sophisticated programs based on events You can integrate your ISY with ELK You can access ISY securely (using HTTPS and your own certificate) via 95% of the mobile phones ISY supports almost all of INSTEON devices out there including the thermostat, IRLinc, and even some of SHN's devices. We With kind regards, Michel Anybody see the EZServ, how does it differ from the ISY, First thing I see is the EZServ can set a static IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royceconnerley Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The ISY is currently WAAYY ahead of the EZSrve. Michel summarized the differences. I have both. My ISY runs the house. I play with the EZSrve when I have time. I WANT to like the EZSrve, but it has a long way to go before it is in the same class as the ISY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awysocki Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm happy with my ISY, I do like the programming part of it. Simple yet powerful. So I'm not saying one is better than the other, just trying to figure out the differences. - EZ is a single package, One plug, one cable. - EZ has menus to set IP address, no low level programming required. - ISY has IR I'm not going to drop another $200 for an EZ, So I'm sticking with my ISY Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Just a note on this old thread. EZ is good concept, but it is not a stable product. If it doesn't stop falling over, I would think they will shelve it, but I can't speak for Compacta. They have other products which seem to be stable and do well in the marketplace. That being said, and I am new to the ISY at the moment, the support from U.D. is hands-down excellent. Just looking at the forums, I can't imagine where anyone gets the R&D time because they are so very attentive to support requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
