I just bought the basic ISY and I think the pro module is $30.  What are the benefits?  I only know you can add more devices or programs.

thanks

There are additional options for suspending updates to devices and RF only devices (updates queued for node)  for better control when the updates are sent.   Scenes are included in the additional devices.  Additional levels of Network Security in the Pro version. Suggest looking at the sales page for the 994i as I have done this from memory.

For me, it was all about the number of nodes.  I exceeded the limit on standard version in my home.  Now that I got the pro version, I have decided I should have purchased it before anyway.  I like the ability to do lots of changes and then batch update my devices.  Much more efficient.  

For me it's worth it just for the delayed device updates when you're first setting up your network or creating new scenes. I also wanted the enhanced encryption, which is really just standard IMO. I don't appreciate it when companies charge extra just to get an ADEQUATE level of security. In this internet age, security should be inherent and assumed rather than an additional feature.

From previous replies from UDI the none pro was released to meet a budget price point. But, I also agree security isn't something that a person should have to trade off, or have to consider.

 

It will be very interesting to see what happens in a few years when the default certificate encryption must be 1028 -2048 bits. Will they continue to sell the none pro version in knowing it won't operate on various mail servers / browsers??

 

This was seen in the financial, government, web sites which stopped supporting lower versions of 5.XX IE web browsers etc.

Teken,

 

We do take security very seriously. As a matter of fact, in our next release the default level will be TLS1.1.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Hello Michel,

 

To be clear, your reply applies to the Pro version in that it will use by default TLS 1.1

 

Unless you meant you're going to upgrade all none Pro users to this default level? As your previous replies indicated it was unfair to those customers who spent more to acquire said features etc.

 

This position has not changed has it? [emoji47]

No, the reply was for "any" ISY.

Hi Blackbird,

 

Hopefully by the end of this coming week.

Are the firmware updates done automatically?

No, you need to download it and load it in to the ISY Series Controller and follow the steps outlined in the announcement page.
