Jason Miller Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Hi! We have a heat pump with a programmable thermostat for ac/heat now. I want to upgrade to something I can program with my ISY994i. We use all insteon stuff now but the thermostats they have are "ugly" in my wifes opinion. Looking for suggestions on a good one with a digital touchscreen.
LeeG Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 The ISY 99i is past End of Life. Whatever thermostat chosen will have to be available for more than a year for it to work with the 99i.

shannong Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 If you don't want the Insteon ones you'll need to use Wi-Fi, Zwave, or Zigbee. The latter two require upgrades for the ISY. I assume your home already has Wi-Fi. I'm using the Zwave 2Gig CT100's. They're digital and touch screen but your wife might still think they're ugly. Less ugly than the stark green of they Honeywell Zwave, IMO. They're decent although Zwave is still in beta with the ISY. The Venstar 58xx/59xx are pretty, touch screen, and Wi-Fi. But you'll need to run an external program called VenLink along with Network Resources for it to work. See here. http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewforum.php?f=103
