How to tell when I need to upgrade ISY-994IR to PRO Version

[db2ace2]

THis may seem obvious to some, but I have a ISY-994IR Non Pro Version with 141 Devices, 53 scenes, 88 Programs, 22 Variables and 37 Folders. The Devices range from Insteon Motion Sensors, EZX10RF, EZSNSRF, EZFLORA, IO-Linc Garage Door to various switches Keypadlincs, Remotelincs, and Fanlincs. My question is how can I tell when I am going to need to upgrade to the PRO version if the ISY 994? I currently show 987MB Total with 98MB Reserved Used 17MB Bad 0MB, and Free 871MB. I have a 3300 Sqft Home and currently the bottom floors outside Deck, and Walkway and Garage have all the Insteon they will need. I do plan to add Insteon in the future to 3 upstairs Bedrooms and a Gameroom. This will mostly by 1 KPL each room with 1 FANLINC and 1 LAMPLINC in each. It seems to me that I have plenty of capacity but I don't want to be surprised one day when I cannot add another device or Program to the ISY when I need to. I have heard the 300 number mentioned but is that just devices or a combination of everything? I have also heard something about BATCH mode in the Pro version. What does that buy me? Are there other reasons to upgrade to Pro other than capacity?

 

Thanks

Hi db2ace2,

 

Unfortunately we do keep putting limit notifications to a lower priority. As of right now, you can either use the Topology and count the nodes. Or, when you try to add a device, although successful, the device does not get added to the device tree.

 

With kind regards,
