ssingh1234 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Hi all. I am having some issues with this. Should I be installing the Homebridge ISY plugin or the Homebridge ISY Js plugin? Thank you! Edited October 13, 2020 by ssingh1234
AFillat Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Homebridge ISY worked fine for me. Also, anybody know if support for Keypad Linc switches is being worked on? I don't know what a stateless switch means, but the only important function is to allow the LED to turn on or off to reflect the state of the scene it controls.
timholmesjr Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 I installed Homebridge-ISY and after connecting the ISY I can see evidence on the log window that it is "seeing" all my devices. Unfortunately only about 13 showed up in the accessories tab. Reading though the forum it seems that some devices can be problematic. I can't tell how to exclude or include individual devices/accessories. Any guidance or ideas?
timholmesjr Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 It seems that only Insteon devices made it over to the accessories tab. None of my Zwave stuff or Nodeservers are showing up.
timholmesjr Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Do I need to configure anything on the UD side? Not sure why it sees 129 devices but only 11 accessories.
homejones Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Hello - thank you for the guide. I followed the instructions in the first comment and have Homebridge up and running, so thank you! My next question is I have configured the "Homebridge ISY" plugin by @pmouli. From the console in the Homebridge UI, I can see that the RasPi sees my ISY and all of the connected Insteon devices. I have edited the plugin settings to allow Homebridge visibility to all of my ISY installed devices. However, I don't see anything in my Home app on my iOS devices. Do I still need to manually edit my config.json to make each ISY device visibile in Homekit? Edited December 28, 2020 by homejones

From the notes on the "Homebridge ISY" plugin by @pmouli github, it looks like both KPLs and ZWave items are not currently working, but in the development roadmap.
DKrach Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 I've been using @pmouli's plugin, but still running 4.x ISY. The status doesn't update in Homekit if a change is made on the ISY. Question is does ISY v5.x improve any of this?
Pras Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 Hey, I was able to follow the updated steps. But i don't see any accessories on my Homebridge UI accessories link. In the log i see the communcation with my ISY, but nothing on accessories, adn nothing on APple home screen.
jlegault Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Thank-you for the wonderful and easy guide for setting up Homebridge! I am about to refactor my system and start moving to Home Kit. As part of this, I'm also moving to ecobee thermostats away from RCS RS485 units controlled by my Elk M1. Seems like I need to run both Homebridge AND a Polyglot node for Ecobee? is that right? I would like to be able to control the ecobee with my ISY to be able to tell the ecobee that we're away when the M1 is armed away. If I do need to run both, can I run both on the same Pi?

jlegault Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Ok, sad faces. Looks like the only remaining ISY plugin for homebridge needs some encouragement to continue active development and roadmap. Not looking good.

Not looking good. spin up a Home Assistant instance and add both the Universal-Devices ISY994 integration and the Homebridge Integration and you're done.
