ISY 994i to EISY and MobiLinc

Featured Replies

Every year Portalshark dings my bank account for MobiLinc Connect subscription. I thought that was just part of the portal service subscription but it looks like UD has it's own ap that seems to work. Since migrating to EISY I discovered MobiLinc Pro doesn't work Wondering If I have to delete that ap, reinstall and start over? Also installed MobiLinc X and tried to login in with my MobiLinc account and that doesn't work. Digging a bit deeper it looks like MobiLinc X is a completely different ap and cost $120 per year! Nope. My bank account was just dinged $50 last month for MobiLinc Pro.

Anyone with more Insite?

MobileLinc is third party app. The initial version was loved by everyone even got screen time in maybe a Verizon commercial.

The developer Wes upgraded it to Moblinc X ( I think) and it moved to a cloud model with subscription pricing. The blow back here was instant. No one wanted cloud failure point. I believe MobiLinc pro was launched in reaction to keep control local but damage was done. I’ve still got original MobiLinc on my phone but never use it — NOT just looked

UD Mobile is my go to and it does a great job for me. I’d suggest you install and try it out. If good for you, you can consider dropping MobiLinc. BTW Wes was a great resource and developer. I don’t recall seeing here in forum for a bit.

I never knew that Mobilinc pro had a subscription to it. I use it and it's no subscription for what I have/use. Must be their cloud connection option. I'd cancel it real quick and see about getting a refund if there was no warning that you were going to be charged again. While the local Mobilinc Pro app does mostly work with eisy it only handles the basics of Insteon and maybe some z-wave (I don't use z-wave so cannot confirm those work or not). I'm not a big mobile app user for my "automation" so just have it in case I am away and can use the UD Portal connection in the app to control things back home. I also have UD Mobile and just have it connected (never spent the time to setup favorites).

but @hart2hart is right that Moblinc had a cloud connection and it was completely separate from anything UD offers. Most will say, "Mobilinc doesn't work with eisy", but I can 100% say that it does work...just not for most items that are connected with plugins. For me that doesn't matter. Mobilinc HD was a one-time charge over 10 years ago that has more than paid for itself. I don't think it's even available in the Android store anymore. Not sure about on the Apple app store, but the pro version hasn't been updated for 7 years there.

Good luck getting recurring charges stopped.
