	The ISY994i is a home automation controller from Universal Devices. It has an embedded processor, runs it's own real-time OS, is network connected, and manages the various home automation devices as a stand-alone controller. Configuring and administering the ISY is done via a Java application "console", which is used to manage devices, create programs and scheduled events, upgrade the device firmware, and add functionality via purchased license keys. It exposes it's functionality via well-developed application programming interfaces (API's).		The ISY994i is a home automation controller from Universal Devices.

This will be addressed in the next update of the driver, along with better scene controls and weather module integrations.

	The ISY driver is configured for auto-discovery using DHCP. When it requests an IP addresses, LinuxMCE will automatically add the device template. You will need to login to the LinuxMCE Administration Page, and change the username and password to match those configured in the ISY. The template defaults to admin:admin.

Afterwards, you will need to reload the router.

	When the DCErouter reloads, the driver will establish a connection to the ISY. It will create child devices of the ISY in LinuxMCE, by reading all configured /managed devices from the ISY, and creating a corresponding child in LMCE. You will need to reload the router in order to use the devices from LMCE. Similarly, scenes (groups) will be downloaded and appropriate child devices created. After all devices and scenes have been recognized, you can then edit the devices in LMCE to set the room, floor plan ID (icons used in the Floor plan view in Orbiter), etc. when you are complete, reload the router again. Your devices and Insteon scenes are now available to use in LMCE scenarios.		When the DCErouter reloads, the driver will establish a connection to the ISY.

	If you're having problems, the logs are the best place to look to see what's going on. There are two logs: the <dev#>_Generic _Serial_Device.log has to do with LMCE's interaction with the driver, and <dev#>_ISY-994i-GSD.log, which logs the driver's interaction with the ISY. Both are located in /var/log/pluto.

	By default, the <dev#>_ISY-994i-GSD.log logs a minimal amount of the interaction between the driver and the ISY. That could give you hints as to what is happening when. To get more in-depth information as to what's going on, you'll need to enable Debug mode. In the WebAdmin, go to Generic Serial Devices, and check the box next to debug in the device info screen. Reload the router to restart the driver with verbose logging.		By default, the <dev#>_ISY-994i-GSD.log logs a minimal amount of the interaction between the driver and the ISY.

	The ISY series supports optional (paid) upgrades which can enable additional functionality in the ISY device. It allows home automation users to start off small, and add additional functionality later as their environment grows or their needs change. For example, a non-pro model can be upgraded by purchasing a Pro upgrade license key. Some hardware upgrades can be done in the field by purchasing the hardware directly from Universal Devices web store. The following table shows the LMCE driver support for the various add-on software modules.
