eisy-ui Is Ready. Admin Console Is Dying.
October 15, 2026
eisy-ui now matches 98% of Admin Console, and every new feature puts Admin Console at greater risk of breaking. On December 15, 2026, support ends. Here’s what that means for you, and what to do about it.
Bye Bye Admin Console & Java!
September 2, 2026
The Java Admin Console was a workhorse. For years it gave you direct access to your systems, and it did the job. But if you've been fighting cache errors, wrestling with Java versions, or jumping through hoops just to get it to launch on your computer, you already know: it's been showing its age for a while now. On December 15, 2026, we're officially ending support for it.
eisy does it again: OS 14.4, off-the-shelf Zigbee/Z-Wave dongle support, full program edit in eisy-ui, and more!
August 17, 2026
A major eisy software update is here, featuring an upgrade to OS 14.4, a redesigned clone-based upgrade process for safer updates, support for off-the-shelf Zigbee/Z-Wave dongles, full program editing capabilities in eisy-ui, selectable update repos (staging, beta, production), system-inclusive backup/restore, and the groundwork to eliminate Java by year's end, all manageable right from eisy-ui; plus, for a limited time, ISY994 users migrating to eisy | lite or eisy r2 get 12% off and a free year of the ISY Portal.
Happy 4th!
June 28, 2026
All eisy products are now fully in stock and ready to ship. We know the delay was frustrating, and we genuinely appreciate your patience. To thank you for sticking with us, we're kicking off the 4th of July with a 12% discount!
Introducing eisy | lite!
April 29, 2026
The global DDR5 shortage has pushed eisy r2 to $599. We didn't want that to be the only option. eisy | lite runs the same IoX platform, the same plugins, the same eisy-ui, with the same rich hardware interface, on 4 GB RAM and 64 GB eMMC. A little slower and less headroom than r2, but the full eisy experience for homes that don't need r2's extra power.
