ingeborgdot Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I got a new Samsung S7 several months back and want to install an app for my Insteon lighting with my isy994i. What seems to be the very best way to go? Mobilinc or Agave? Is Mobilinc more versatile? I also got Alexa the other day and want to control my Insteon system with it. I have read so much my head hurts. If I have Mobilinc on my phone I need to purchase a portal but will I be able to use Alexa if I use mobilinc?? Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the info that I need to get all of this figured out? The portal thing kind of confuses me right now. Link to comment
G W Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Mobilinc for Apple and Agave for Android. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment
ingeborgdot Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Agave for Android, okay. Now the portal thing. Does Agave take up the same portal that Amazon Echo does? Link to comment
Jimbo.Automates Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yes, they can share the portal. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment
ingeborgdot Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Okay. I read something about Mobilinc and Alexa having problems and you could not use the same port. So, if I go with Agave, which package do most people buy? You have the all access pass - 99.99 Agave ISY all access pass - subscription 1.99 basic limited access - 5.99 extended access (thermo) - 19.99 extended access (flora) - 19.99 extended access (portal) - 21.99 extended access (variables) - 19.99 I don't need any sprinkler control because my RainMachine has a great app already. I want to be able to control my lights at home and away. The thermostat I have is a Venstar and runs through my isy994i but I want something a little better so I might be switching thermostats soon. Any suggestions on which package or what I need to make it work will be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment
DennisC Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Agave has features being added to it regularly. If you buy the all access pass you are finished for the life of the app. Whatever features are added will be included. So it's up to you. Link to comment

giesen Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Portal is a good to have but not absolutely required if you know how to port forward. That being said, if you want Amazon Echo integration you need it. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment
ingeborgdot Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Is there a place I can go that find tutorials on what I will have to purchase in order to get both Agave and Echo? Link to comment
