Essential Info

The ISY994i is one of the most advanced INSTEON controllers on the market and has numerous features to satisfy the most advanced DIY'er or seasoned home control enthusiast. If you need unbridled control, the ISY994i is your controller.

The ISY994i supports up to 256 devices and scenes and a maximum of 300 programs. The ISY994i 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.

INSTEON Control
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.

Additional Features:
  • Control other network-enabled devices using an optional Network Module (RS-232 devices can be controlled using an ELK IP232 or Global Cache GC-100 and more)
  • Can be field upgraded to IR platform

  • Extends the capabilities of the ISY99i Series
  • An expansion slot which could be utilized to install and support other protocols such as a Zigbee
  • Increased code memory to support additional communications drivers
  • Native support for Open ADR out of the box

  • Please Note:
  • The ISY994i does not require a power supply when used with a PLM which supplies power via the RJ-45 port (for example, PLM model #2412S). ISY994i does provide a port for an optional AC adapter for instances where the PLM does not supply power, or the user prefers to supply power independent of the PLM (for example, PLM model #2413S).

    I have suffered 8 years of failed controllers RS232, USB etc etc - all useless in the end, and unreliable. Insteon controllers work great - how I suffered with x10. Well, as an early adopter - what do you expect!! Lucky ones jump in now. Finally with the ISY994i, a simple strait forward product that is reliable and with a consistent yet honest user interface. It’s easy to get the hang of and I strongly recommend the YouTube video instructions to overcome the geek shock - its banal to set up really As an aside, the ipad and iphone Mobilink interface is also fun. - This home automation my finally catch on:
    JOHN -- rancho murieta, CA   6/10/2013
    It took a while to get it sorted out for my installation. the manufacturer isn't much help unless you like reading though their blog for answers. I placed a call to them and was told by the receptionist that someone would call back. That was 10 days ago and haven't heard anything. So I resorted to reading the blogs and finally figure out the issue I was having. Definitely not for the novice computer user.
    DAVID -- moreno valley, CA   6/7/2013
    Excellent product. Much easier to maintain any Insteon installation
    MICHAEL -- audubon, PA   5/9/2013
    I have been using the ISY994i for a few months now and it is great! I don't know how I got along without this product for so long. It is a must have to any Insteon installation with more than a few devices.
    DAVID -- mukwonago, WI   5/6/2013
    Works as advertised. Programming is a little counter intuitive at first, but use it for a while and you get the hang of it.
    Gene -- rockford, Illinois   5/1/2013
    I bought the ISY99i a couple of years ago to find that it was not longer being supported. The company graciously sold me this new version for minimal upgrade cost. Both units worked flawlessly controlling Insteon controllers. I have a few older X10 controllers which didn't work with the ISY99i but will work fairly reliably with the newer ISY994i. I'm very happy with the product, yep kind of hard to get the gist of programming a bit expensive but highly versatile and reliable. I can control using PC's and mobile link on my iOS devices throughout my home. I've struggled and wasted money on other devices and software that didn't pan out. This is the way to go for me!
    OVIDIU -- kirkland, WA   4/27/2013
    My ISY has been flawless. You get what you pay for (a lot of money for a lot of flexibility in configuration and programming, plus decent support).
    ZACH -- green bay, WI   4/27/2013
    Controller is a little different to program than what I was used to, but I was able to make it work. I like all of the ability and functions you have to program different things. The atomic clock with sunrise/set is awesome and really work well for my outside light program.
    TANER -- san diego, CA   4/25/2013
    Great device to help with home automation. Set up programs that can trigger based on a variety of conditions (time, device state, etc) and perform certain actions (activate/deactivate other devices, run other programs, send emails, etc) Lots of good support on the universal-devices forum, too.
    RODOLFO -- southfield, MI   4/18/2013
    I am extremely frustrated with this product. I have not been able to make it work. I spent $800 in the equipment plus $500 in electrician and still does not work. Customer support is not helping since they do not give me more info than what is written on the instructions The instructions are not user friendly. I am planning on removing everything and returning it this week
    JOHN -- sunnyvale, CA   4/15/2013
    Great box once you figure out how to program. Using the remote UI for the iPhone with it which is great. NOT for the non-tech person.
    IGOR -- fort lauderdale, FL   4/13/2013
    Workin great so far.any person who have some basic in computer will understand how to operate
    Paul -- Fort Worth   4/11/2013
    Best home automation controller I have used! I tried them all; Smartlinc, Homeseer etc wasting a lot of money. iSY is the most reliable and solid product. It is also the only one that properly uses Insteon scene programming and configures Insteon devices to talk to each other. In fact Isy si the only way to take advantage of full Insteon scene programming capability.
    BRADFORD -- everett, MA   4/1/2013
    I'm an IT Administrator, I manage about 10 Server and 100 Workstations. this should have been a cake walk for me. Not so, very little is 'baked in' you have a write all programming yourself, with 'if than else' statements. Once you get the hang of it you can do some great cool stuff, but just be forewarned, unless you've done some basic programming, be prepared to call the IT nerd in your family over for a weekend.
    petew -- Albuquerque NM USA   3/23/2013
    The lighting brain is great. I had more trouble getting the stupid computer to run Java than I had setting up the ISY. Insteon devices have been 100% reliable and predictable so far. I need to order a couple more dimmers and three appliance modules to control my power amps. I'm using the new iRule plug in for ISY to control my lighting. It was a snap to build scenes that I can select with the iPad. Good stuff
    NICHOLAS -- kirkland, QC   3/7/2013
    Installation was easy. Works as advertised. Easy to program and verify various modes. Could be provided with some samples to easily start up. Better feature for conditions would be to test between times (have to create 2 programs to accomplish required modes).
    FRANK -- kansas city, MO   1/26/2013
    Very good insteon controller. X10 functionality is a bit limited when dealing with newer modules though. Insteon is so much better though, so I'll just replace them when I get some extra money.
    JAMES -- sacramento, CA   1/20/2013
    I have tried several options for automation controller/interface. So far, this works the best. Programming is still a bit geeky. Would not dump it on the average consumer but I like it. Very very pleased. Would buy again and recommend to an enthusiast or better.
    JWillis -- charlotte, NC   1/16/2013
    Far too many software bugs. Software hangs up when trying to delete an item. Software hangs up when trying to group items. Instructions terrible, dated, don't match current screens. Very painful experience in trying to use.
    GARY -- grafton, WI   1/10/2013
    Works as advertised. Requires some study to get up and running as desired, especially when converting from an existing environment. Would like to see a "theory of operation" section incorporated into the users manual along with more examples. Helpful on-line forum, but you need to hunt for what you're looking for. Very flexible programming options.
