Palmer marketing Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Ok - now that Insteon has shut down, is it possible for UD to create a 994 that includes Insteon (for those of us who still have a hundred devices), and both z-wave and Zigbee? 1

UD do not own the Insteon IP to do that. Yet (maybe).
Techman Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 The ISY will support Insteon and either Z-wave or Zigbee, however you'll need a PLM and currently none are available. The newest hardware controller, and successor to the ISY994, is the Polisy. Currently the Polisy supports Insteon and Z-wave 700. It also requires a PLM for Insteon. Not sure if and/or when the Polisy will support Zigbee

You're correct tho that Z-wave and Zigbee are currently one or the other on the 994 hardware. I suspect that at some point we'll see a PG3 node server that supports zigbee via conbee or some other USB stick that plugs in to policy. 1
Palmer marketing Posted May 19, 2022 Author Posted May 19, 2022 i put up a post somewhere on the forum that pretty much asked the same question. i don't have any zigbee devices or anything to run them on, but if i'm behind U.D, my eyes are over the horizon watching Home Assistant and others , and more importantly recognizing that Insteon ditched, so does that mean more zig devices get sold. A stumper today, but boy would l look at amazon and do a big "what if" we redesigned 994 or new name machine that has a usb port for a dual band usb stick. i would jump in 2 seconds to my wifes bank account and buy one.
