3.1 Lighting and Power Overview
In order to make the most of the capabilities of the ISY, the user will find that a basic
understanding of the devices to be controlled is helpful. This section contains a review of the
salient characteristics of the types of device that the ISY can control.
When lights or power outlets are automated, the devices involved will almost always use Z-
Wave, INSTEON, or X10 protocols. Such devices include light switches, power sockets, wired
and remote controllers and IR receivers. Although INSTEON or X10 protocols can coexist in the
same device (often referred to as dual-band), the way each of the protocols operates is quite
different. The ISY controls both together so they can form a managed lighting solution that is
simple to operate and easy to enhance.
