baabm Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I am thinking about getting the Mobilinc app to control my ISY when away from home. I noticed that Universal Devices sells a module called Portal Integration - MobiLinc Connect which is described as: Remotely connect through MobiLinc portal. No port forwarding necessary. Note: Please upgrade to 3.1.16 or above before installing this module. Although the $1 cost is no big deal, I am not sure if I need this in order to incorporate mobilinc. Is it necessary? Does it make it easier to install mobilinc? thanks, Bob
oberkc Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Whether or not you need it depends, I believe, on whether you are going to take advantage of "mobilinc connect", or make all the router settings yourself. If you are good with a router, ports, IPaddresses, and things like that (or are willing to learn), then I say skip it. If ease of setup is priority and cares about reliance on the cloud are minimal, then perhaps you should consider mobilinc connect. Moblinc connect has a monthly fee, I believe. I also understand it may have a few extra benefits. Personally, I do not use it. Be aware, also, moblinc for iOS is, apparently, a different experience than mobilinc for android.
baabm Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks - I will be using mobilinc for IOS.
