Essential Info

The ISY-99i is one of the most advanced INSTEON controllers on the market and has a ton of features to satisfy the most advanced DIY'er or seasoned home control enthusiast. If you need unbridled control, the ISY-99i is your controller.

The ISY-99i supports up to 256 devices and scenes and a maximum of 300 programs. The ISY-99i controller is able to configure and program INSTEON devices using INSTEON native protocols and specifications. This allows it to directly write to INSTEON devices internally instead of just in the controller, creating a more robust network. You can set up timer events and custom event triggers, as well as monitor and control all the INSTEON-compatible devices in your home from any web-browser anywhere in the world. Now you can check if the lights in your house were left on and remotely control them from your computer at the office.

This kit includes an INSTEON Dual-Band PLM Serial Interface, allowing for direct communication with your existing INSTEON network from the ISY-99i controller. The PLM features built-in dual-band technology that sends and receives INSTEON signals via powerline and radio frequency (RF), so it doubles as an Access Point. This makes it ideal for new INSTEON installs if you have or plan to use an RF-only INSTEON-compatible devices like a remote, thermostat, motion sensor or contact sensor.

    DAVID -- lititz, PA   11/25/2011
    This is just a tad confusing and is short on easy-to-read instructions, but as a programmer I was able to get it going. It runs without the PC and restarts after a power outage. Worked nicely in all regards and very powerful capability. I have not yet tried controlling from the WWW but wil shortly
    GARLAND -- searcy, AR   11/17/2011
    The product was defective in that the controller had a female DB9 connector and the cable had a female DB9 connector. This would not hook up. My email to Smarthome resulted in a rapid RMA and refund of my money. However, I would have much preferred a product that I could have used!
    JAMES -- houston, TX   11/10/2011
    Works great and does a lot more than the 2412n basic controller.
    CRAIG -- elk grove, CA   11/5/2011
    First thing I had to do was update the software because it did not handle Keypadlincs correctly. Being a first time user of the software it took some research to find the download link. The linking protocol is a bit clunky and cumbersome but it works. The communications thru my network seem to be fine. I have not tried the internet usage yet. The timer setup is someone of a mystery still. It is not very intuitive. It is still better then the HL2 for stability but not ease of linking
    SCOTT -- littleton, MA   11/5/2011
    Terrible instructons. Could not connect via Mac computer and trying to debug the situation using the forums was tedious and led me in to too many different instructions, useless downloads and a days worth of deadends. The directions don't tell you when to plug i, when to connect, and how to set up on a Mac clearly. Repackaged and sent back. I'm not knowledgable for this.
    DENNIS -- appleton, WI   10/13/2011
    Love this unit. Works great and computer does not need to be always on.
    WILLIAM A -- clearwater, FL   10/13/2011
    This device has been extremely stable. Programming looks complicated from the examples, but it is really fairly easy. The system actually creates the code via simply Q&A. The forum is a great help for accomplishing tricky scenarios.
    REX -- holt, MI   9/27/2011
    Great product! Additional programming examples would have made things much easier.
    MATT -- arlington, VA   8/25/2011
    works as advertised - pretty neat!
    THOMAS E -- vancouver, WA   8/1/2011
    Works much more reliably than the older 2414U. dual-band also improves reliability in high RF noise area. Ability to add logic (if living room light is on, dim to 50% at midnite and to 35% at 12:15am, but leave it off if already turned off) makes running schedules MUCH more friendly/less annoying - lights downstairs won't come back by schedule if I've turned them out and gone to bed. Minus 1 star for requiring separate 5v power supply, and no place to plug the extra supply into the Insteon interface. This either ties up an entire 2outlet recepticle, or requires splitters.
    BRIAN -- fort worth, TX   7/23/2011
    I love this controller. I use Conductor for android and can use widgets to control every device in the house. Much better than the SmartLinc. Instant status changes/updates. Linking insteon devices is easy as well. Quick hint, make sure to link everything through the ISY not through the insteon devices.
    DEANE -- cupertino, CA   4/25/2011
    Seems to work well. Much better feature set than the 2412N (internet time sync, sunrise/set +- minutes, etc.). I had about the same on/off control reliability with this kit vs the 2412N, except that the 2412N would stop working and need to be unplugged to reboot once in a while.
    CHARLES -- sun city, CA   3/19/2011
    The ISY-99 works great, as did the ISY-26 for several years. Very versatile, and with internet connection, insteon devices can be controlled worldwide. Good support on the Universal Devices forum, if needed.
    ANDREW -- west des moines, IA   3/18/2011
    Wow, what a powerful little device. I added this to my Insteon home network and have solved a few of the ongoing problems I've had around the home. My wife likes it because she doesn't know it's there. I can automate many lights around the home when we aren't there, and everything works normally when we are. Can't wait to expand!
    JAMES -- cortland, NY   3/18/2011
    The ISY99 is certainly among the best products you offer. I set my home up with Insteon and one of these and liked enough that we are now doing the same in the office building.
    STEVEN -- loudon, TN   2/3/2011
    EXCELENT SERVICE. DEVISE DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY AND SMARTHOME WAS QUICK TO EXCHANGE WITH NO SHIPPING CHARGE. 2ND DEVISE WORKS GREAT. I WILL BE CREDITED FOR 1ST ORDER.
    JAMES -- clifton, VA   1/13/2011
    Installation was frustrating and my assessment of the value of the ISY 99i is indeterminate as the PLM was defective on receipt and I am awaiting a replacement. The instructions provided with the PLM are confusing with regard to its use with the UD controller and there is little information on troubleshooting. The controller seems to work but until I actually link a switch I cannot properly evaluate. Customer Service from Smarthome on the replacement PLM has been excellent and I am giving the 4 stars for that aspect only at this point (not quite flawless but helpful). I'd be happy to rate the entire system again in a few weeks. It has been a full month since ordering and I can't claim much progress for my home automation project despite hours spent in the forums and with customer service (mostly waiting on line for a rep to talk to). The last time it took 58 minutes awaiting a representative to answer the line. The technician took a little time to diagnose my situation so I suspect he had access to the same information I had that was insufficient. I am hoping to be up and running in the next week or two.
    FRANCIS F -- los angeles, CA   10/22/2010
    The instructions are so poor that I could not make the system turn on X-10s, even with telephone help. I have been a prof. of elec. engineering for 40 years, and I have never seen such poor instructions. Ten years ago I bought another PLM controlled by IBM Director, and I couldn't get that to work either. My 20+ year-old X-10 system works perfectly well, but it takes a serial port, which are now extinct, and I can't upgrade.
    THOMAS -- issaquah, WA   10/3/2010
    Easy to use yet plenty powerful. It would be great if they had more published program examples.
    JAMES -- boise, ID   9/10/2010
    I have had this device on-line for almost a month, now, to interface with our Insteon PLC module. So far, it is working well. I've had a couple of missed beats, but I think those were on the Insteon side, rather than the ISY-99i side. Also, am able to access it from the Internet with my laptop, which happens to be a MacBook, using Safari, without any problems. This has turned out to be a good solution to running our lighting and landscape control systems via Insteon, without having any Windows PC on-line.
