RichTJ99 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi, I was curious what i could do with the new ISY & Zigbee? I am looking to keep my ISY in the basement, would the zigbee devices work properly at a distance? I know the dual band ISY makes the powerline or RF options for good communications. Does the Zigbee work the same way or is it network based? What cool Zigbee things are out there that work with the ISY? Thanks, Rich Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi Rich, Currently the Zigbee version only supports: RCS Zigbee Thermostats Brultech ECM1240 UDI EM3 3 Phase Energy Monitors The Zigbee version was specifically designed for commercial venues where 3 phase might cause problems. As such, I do not think it would provide you with anything above and beyond 994i series. Furthermore, you can always upgrade later to the Zigbee version (a daughter board with Zigbee radio).

andyf0 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have to ask. Do you have SEP 1.1 certification yet? Can I read my Smart Meter? Link to comment
RichTJ99 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 So what is the difference between the: ISY99IR ISY994IR If i have an ISY, is it worth upgrading? Thanks, Rich Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi Rich, Currently, they are functionally identical. 994 has more code memory for future enhancements + an expansion slot that can be used for Zigbee OR ZWave. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
RichTJ99 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 So if you purchase a Isy994 with zigbee, can you add zwave? Or is it one or the other? Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi Rich, It's either ZWave or Zigbee (not both). With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi Rich, It's either ZWave or Zigbee (not both). With kind regards, Michel Do you have an ETA for zwave? Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi apostolakisl, Unfortunately not but I can say that it's very high on our priority. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
