I am considering migrating from the ISY99-4i world to HomeSeer and have a few questions/concerns, perhaps somebody has the time to respond. I have searched for these answers and came up empty, but I have also researched other questions and found those answers, and, frankly, the wife has "opened the checkbook" for this, so I want to strike while the iron is hot.
1) HS seems to be Z-Wave centric, all of my devices are Insteon. I see there are at least two Insteon plugins, do they provide "complete" support for the Insteon product line? I realize that is somewhat subjective...
2) My ISY system can handle geo-fences from my iPhone - does JS have that capability? Meaning - The ISY has a variable for each geo-fence that is updated by the iPhone when the boundary is crossed, that variable is a trigger.
3) I see that I can buy HS pre-installed on a device or download the software and run it on my own computer, either Mac, Linux, or Windows. Is there any advantage to using the HS-provided hardware v. using my own computer? Is there any advantage for using the Linux v. Windows version?
4) If you are an ISY user (past or present), what are your opinions of ISY v. HS?
5) Can I get a short synopsis of the ISY plugin? (Doesn't hurt to ask, and I will be reading up on it, but a one-liner might convince not to bother, although I have two ISY's.)
Like I said, the checkbook is open, I appreciate all help!
Thanks
