Pella Insynctive Bridge

[bcdavis75]

Hi all.  I have automatic shades from a manufacturer called Pella.  They make a Z wave compatible bridge for control however, it's unclear if there would be any way to make it work with an ISY  (I know virtually nothing about z wave devices).

 

Here's a link to the install guide.  Starting on page five it discussed Z wave integration in sparse detail.   It's only explicit compatible with the WInk hub.  Is there any reason to hope the ISY could interact with it?

Bump.  Anyone?

If you have an ISY with z-wave then there is a very good chance that the ISY will link with it.

On the off chance this is ever useful to anyone.  I did eventually integrate the Pella Insynctive blinds with ISY.  It was convoluted but the chain went like this:  Pella Blinds > Pella Insyctive Bridge (must be ordered directly from Pella) > Wink hub > IFTTT > ISY > 6 shots of bourbon.

I honestly can't ever see myself going this route. The use of the cloud for local controller is a fad and hope it just dies one day!

I'm with you. If I can't use something directly with the ISY then I don't want it.

 

Did you try to add your blinds to the 5.0 firmware?

Do you have ISY with z-wave and it wouldn't link, or does you isy not have z-wave?

I am interested to know whether this has been tried with the ISY z-wave model.  I have that model and would very much be interested in a solution that could more simply connect pella insynctive to my ISY-994iz system.
