ISY-99i Review - Insteon control system
Home automation holds tremendous promise, however much of the excitement felt when installing the devices turns to frustration when dealing with the current array of software packages. Difficulties with software installation, hardware communication issues and steep learning curves for many of the packages leave the uninitiated with little progress after hours spent with configuration. All of this while the other members of your household are screaming at you to stop turning the lights off on them… Is the ISY-99i the answer? Read on to find out. When it comes to home automation central controllers a dedicated computer is most people's first thought, and certainly the power offered by a decent scripting language is unparalleled, but for the majority of cases this power isn’t needed and simply confuses the installation to the point where “good enough” becomes the mantra and the perfect home automation setup is a continuous work-in-progress.
