History has proven Smartlabs / Smarthome has no long term road map for their controllers, none. People often asks me how can someone make such a bold statement over the Internet? To the OP all of the things I have expressed above will never be seen in any iteration of the HUB controllers. We as a community and user base will see more (fad) features and connectivity with various sites and resources. Its my belief that once 5.XX firmware and Z-Wave hardware support has been fully fleshed out.
In my view they have tried very hard to lay out the foundation and vision of what they expect the ISY Series Controller to be.
They may not be the quickest to implement or take on the next hot thing.īut, neither are they known for releasing a half baked product / support. UDI has proven they are here for the long haul and plan for the future. You will have zero say in the future or development of their final product (minus the wish list) that is hosted in their alternate site. You will never receive feed back about time lines or road maps of their development. The three things you will never see from Smartlabs / Smarthome is consumer interaction and engagement. If you're looking for an investment in, on any level with HA the ISY Series Controller is truly the first choice. If you're looking toward the future and have long term plans in the HA space the HUB II is not for you.

The hidden potential comes down to crafting programs that allow conditional logic that is only limited by your personal imagination.Īs others have noted if you add in the extra software features the level of interaction, connection, and reach is wide reaching. The ISY Series Controller is the balance of point and shoot where if you want nothing more than add, remove, create scene relationships it will do it. History has proven that once a person becomes familiar with something quick and simple they most certainly transition to something that offers more features, capability, and power.

If you want a quick point and shoot device the HUB II & HUB Pro will meet the near term goals for those who want a out of the box set up. Has an excellent and clean smartphone application user interface. The HUB II is a great device for those who want a simple plug and play controller.
