eisy benefits over Polisy

Featured Replies

I have had the isy-994, then upgraded to Polisy (I think right before eisy came out). So not sure if I need to upgrade as my setup is not so complicated and Poilsy does it all for me, but wondering what I am missing?

  • is interface to the programs and scenes still the same GUI?

  • is it still Java?

  • does it handle Zwave better?

...any other comments are much appreciated!

Both the Polisy and the eisy have the same capabilities. They both run the same versions of IoX and freeBSD. The eisy will be a little bit faster, and it's projected support will probably last a bit farther into the future.

The only big difference at this point is that the eisy supports eisy-ui, a new web-based GUI, which while it doesn't fully replace the Java admin console yet, it will be in the future.

From an automation perspective, they're identical, as is the new eisy V2, including Z-Wave handling. Though I will note that because the Z-Wave is external in the eisy, you can relocate it to a more advantageous location.

eisy-ui also works on the Polisy.

Didn't realize that had changed, apparently with the 6.0.0 release - go figure. My polisy got turned into a backup router after an SSD failure (and a second eisy as a backup controller).
