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 LMCE ISY driver is being written using the Ruby GSD Device interface, and leverages the ISY's API to expose the managed devices and controls to LMCE.  The driver has been written with the assumption that the ISY "owns" the connected devices, and exposes them to LMCE for integration and control as an external controller.  As the API's develop, some capabilities to configure the ISY from LMCE may be created.  Until then, the expectation is that all home automation device configuration and management will occur using the Universal Devices Java admin console, and that the configuration and capabilities will be exposed to LMCE for use via it's capabilities.
