OpenADR in which devices?

[iicdev]

We will use the ISY as the certified OpenADR device in our BMS installations in mid-sized commercial buildings. Currently we won't use any of the device protocols & will interact with OpenADR via REST API. Sorry, we're just starting the ISY hardware part of the project and are not clear:

• Is the ISY994 PRO-ADR the right model, ordered only directly from Universal Devices?
• Can we add Zigbee PRO to that later? Or how would we order ADR + Zigbee PRO on a box without the tstats in the bundles on the /sales page?
• It looks like a given ISY994 PRO-ADR box is locked in with production or test certificates at time of purchase?
• Anything else we should know for this use case?

Thanks for the help!

You may want to look at the ADR information in the UDI Wiki as a start.

http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#OpenADR

 

I don't believe there is a special ADR model. My ISY994i Pro shows an ADR section in the Administrative Console.

 

My Basic ISY994i with no added features and no installed modules. Firmware 4.5.4. Shows a section for ADR.

There are a number of consumer users using the ADR product to query their AMI meters for their own homes with the SEP card. There is not a large number of consumer users using the Zigbee radio and that card for Thermostats.

 

This forum generally represents the consumer side, UDI also has a commercial side targeting power management.

 

It would be worth calling UDI and discussing your requirements or sending a request. Both are on the link. They are very responsive and knowledgeable (@Michel Kohanim)

Hi iicdev,

 

Any ISY model will work. All you need to do is to install an OpenADR Alliance production certificate. Please contact sales@universal-devices.com and we'll be happy to help you with that.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thank you all!  I felt a bit off-topic here, you aimed me the right places.  Already seems to be a great developer community.
