This plugin will allow Indigo to control devices through an ISY controller. You can also execute scenes and programs. The original author of the plugin gave us permission to open source the code for this plugin.

Several fixes were made to the plugin to make it compatible (and, in fact, it ***requires***) Indigo 6. Also, there were some changes to the ISY REST API which have been incorporated. This plugin has been tested with the following ISY Controllers and firmware:

Downloading for use
-------------------

If you are a user and just want to download and install the plugin, click on the
**release** link above then click on the ISY.Bridge.indigoPlugin.zip download
link and it will download the plugin in your Downloads folder. Once it's
downloaded just double click on the zip file to uncompress and double-click on
the **ISY Bridge.indigoPlugin** file to have the client install and enable it
for you.

How to use
----------

Once you've installed the plugin, you'll need to create an ISY Controller
device. Create a new device, select **ISY Bridge** from the **Type:** popup,
then select **ISY Controller** from the **Model:** popup. You'll get a config
dialog where you can select your ISY from a popup list and add authentication
details. When you save the config dialog, the plugin will automatically talk to
the ISY to get a list of all supported devices and it will automatically create
Indigo devices representing each one. It will make them in the same folder where
you created the ISY Controller device.

If you later add a device, you can select the **Plugins-\>ISY Bridge-\>Update
ISY** menu item and you'll be able to hit a button to update devices (it will
add any that aren't present). It will also rebuild the list of scenes and
programs.

The plugin presents 2 events: when a program finishes the THEN portion of a
program or when a program finishes the ELSE portion of a program. ISY users will
understand this.

The plugin also presents 3 actions: **Send Scene On Command**, **Send Scene Off
Command**, **Send Program Command**. These are pretty self-explanatory.

Currently supported device types are: *Dimmers*, *On/Off (relay) devices*,
*Sprinklers*, *Thermostats*, and the *I/O Linc*. We've added an enhancement
issue to expand that list but it'll have to be done by someone else.
