mmoore99 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Does the ISY994i work with the Insteon siren, part number 2868-222. I didn't see it in the pull down list of Insteon devices. If not supported, is there another siren that would work? Link to comment

If not supported, is there another siren that would work? Unfortunately NO. However it will most likely be supported in the ISY version 5.x firmware release. Link to comment

Brian H Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 No. Both the 2867-222 Alert Module and 2868-222 Siren Module are not supported at the present time. I understand the Alert Module will be in the 5.? Firmware. I would think the Siren Module would also be in the 5.0? I did try adding my Siren Module with the Start Linking method. I got the "Failed To Add Device Reason 1" as expected. I believe the Aeon Gen5 siren is Z-Wave so you would have to have a Z-Wave option ISY Interface. Link to comment
stusviews Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If UDI had the API for either the Alert or Siren Modules, it'd be in a version 4 update. Link to comment
Brian H Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I have seen posts. They do have information but it will not be added until a version of 5 is released. Link to comment
stusviews Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I have seen posts. They do have information but it will not be added until a version of 5 is released. Do you have a link that indicates that UDI has the API? Link to comment
Teken Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Do you have a link that indicates that UDI has the API? I don't recall which thread it was but Michel noted they will not include support for Alert Module in the 4.XX branch. As I understand it they believe there is only two more Alpha trials to go before 5.XX goes into Beta. It was stated 4.XX branch has come to the end and they really wanted to move forward with all the extra features of 5.XX. As always what that means in human (time) terms could be anyone's guess. As 5.XX has been going on for more than two years . . . Link to comment

As 5.XX has been going on for more than two years . . . Since UDI is now in 5.0.7 and Chris has indicated only 5.0.x, that leaves .8 and. 9 so hopefully moving forward afterwards. It's only logical.

Post 13 & 16 from both Michel and Chris allude to the fact they do have the API. But will not incorporate the Alert Module into the 4.XX branch. Regarding the Insteon Siren I don't pretend to know if the API is completely different or the same. No mention from the UDI team has indicated when this new module will be supported or where. If I was to guess it too will be included into the 5.XX branch as 4.XX will be deprecated moving forward. Link to comment

Post #9 mentions the "firmware" so I'll ask again, is the firmware equivalent to the API? The API & Firmware are not the same when speaking about this topic. The firmware UDI states in that specific thread pertains to the ISY which contains the API commands to include the Alert Module. As you correctly noted there has been no mention in any forum thread that UDI has obtained the API for the newly released Insteon siren to include it the ISY firmware. Clear as mud? Link to comment

ggdowski Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Wow. This is very disappointing. I have also had this device in a box for almost an entire year. Insteon has come out with a new device. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hello All, We added support in 5.0.x but due to API issues, it doesn't work properly. We juat got the updated APIs from SmartHome last week. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment

I looked the word up in as many language dictionaries (Spanish slang?..nope), as I could find, and couldn't think of a better way to bot tle it. Link to comment
ggdowski Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Thanks Michel. It would be nice to see this function working. Link to comment
darcysabatino Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 +1 for Insteon Siren 2868-222 support. I just bought 4 of these so it will be a welcomed addition to the ISY994i firmware. I'm currently running 4.5.4 but I'd be willing to dip my toes in the 5.x waters if necessary Link to comment
ggdowski Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Don't dip your toes in that water quite yet. Link to comment
darcysabatino Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Noted! Would be nice if it can be added to the 4.x branch in the meantime... Link to comment
