What are the plans for the ISY? redux

[LaymansPC]

Original message: Just as the topic asks:  What are the current plans for ISY?  I purchased my ISY994i/ZW back in 2014 and instantly fell in love the device, what it can do, and how it does it.  That being said, I've been much less than impressed by the frequency of available upgrades and the speed at which new devices are supported.  When I initially started into it, I thought it might be a good system to offer to clients.   Unfortunately, with the apparent lack of upgrades, improvements, or simple support for new Zwave devices, I've never felt comfortable actually offering it to my customers.

Please tell me things are going to increase in pace.

Need more clarification on statements such as "or simple support for new Zwave devices". What's not supported? 

With regards to the pace, we do not release anything unless we are ourselves 100% convinced of its stability. So, the pace is not going to change.

With kind regards,
Michel

New message: Clarification on "or simple support for new ZWave devices"  should have read "simply".  As for the devices I'm referring to, basically any of the newer ZWave hardware labeled Gen5 or ZWave Plus.  I understand such things may require an upgraded ZWave module in the ISY, or even newer ISY hardware, but I'm wondering what is in the works and what sort of timeline such things are projected for.  I'd love to have some of the Aeotec door sensors and some of the other newer hardware that's available, but they currently do not work with the ISY.

@LaymansPC,

Most everything you have reported above works and you don't need to upgrade the Z-Wave dongle.

With kind regards,
