protocol specs. So, if you were implying that 3rd parties could use ISY to issue
INSTEON commands (such as PEEK , POKE, etc.) then the answer is NO. ISY is not a
pass through bridge.
24.4.5 What OS does this device run on; can I get the source code?
•
The operating system is a derivate of uCOS. We are not releasing our source code for
the ISY but we have two SDKs: A Java Library which enables you to communicate
with ISY with any Java Client on the network. All the functionality of our GUI is
exposed as APIs in this library. A Web Services Development Kit which enables you
to communicate with ISY using Web Services (in a language of your choice)
24.4.6 What connection protocol does the ISY use to connect to the PLC?
•
Serial. It doesn’t really matter to whether or not ISY's communication with the PLM
is USB, Serial, XYZ, or WKM. Client communications with ISY is over the
Network/Ethernet (HTTP)
24.4.7 What is the number of events?
•
Currently, we have configured the system for the average install (80%)
24.4.8 What is the total number of triggers?
•
It's configurable. Unlike other software, ISY triggers are conditionals with up to 6
conditions (using conjunctive, disjunctive) and 6 responses per trigger. 20 has been
chosen as a baseline and nothing prevents us from increasing it except INSTEON
limitations especially when the responses are issued sequentially to more than 10
devices/groups at a time. Same goes for schedules.
24.4.9 Can I get more triggers?
•
It would be rather impractical, but not impossible, to support 1000s of triggers;
could you please let me know the scenario where one with 100s of devices would
need 1000s of triggers?
24.4.10 Can the ISY display other languages?
•
ISY has been designed with following the National Language Support (NLS) specs,
which means that a translation to any other language is a matter of translating 3
files.
