slimypizza Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I’ve had my ISY994i and multiple switches, dimmers, and motion detectors at home controlling lights, garage doors, etc for a couple of years now. I don’t use portal or mobilinc for remote monitoring or control. I just login to my ISY via my phone and can monitor what’s on/off or change/activate whatever is needed when I’m away. What am I missing by having not gone the portal or mobilinc path ? Quote

I do it too but ISY portal is much faster and offers voice access using google home and Alexa toys with very well done implementations Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Quote
slimypizza Posted February 6, 2019 Author Posted February 6, 2019 Voice access is cool I’m sure for those who have Alexa, Google, etc. I don’t think access is any faster though and I use port 443 (which is open anyway) to come in to my home network then hit a reverse proxy on my firewall, offload SSL encryption, and send traffic internally via port 8080 to the ISY. My access link is something like: https://isy994.mydomain.com Quote
