eisy | home is our 7th generation home automation controller and energy management system. It’s called eisy because it’s based on the same rock-solid ISY technology as its predecessors while also restructured for ease of configuration and use through our fantastic UD Mobile App. eisy is packed with power and flexibility and it’s so cute that some of us call it ‘cutie’! You don’t believe it? Checkout this video.
Refined version of FreeBSD. UD manages building and maintaining the kernel and core/required packages. The OS and packages were designed to be easily field upgradeable and ensure that you configure once and run forever.
For your viewing pleasure, here are some videos:
PG&E Energy Expert App/Smart Speaker project was a success!!! Not only it met all its objectives, it also engaged customers with energy saving tips while helping them reduce load during high prices.
And, for your reading pleasure, here is the link to the final results.

INSTEON got you down? Z-Wave range and limited functionality issues? Want to Future-Proof your Polisy with Zigbee/Matter support? Our ZMatter board is the answer!
Start enjoying the enhanced range afforded by high caliber external antennas (on the sides) in conjunction with SiLab’s 700 series Z-Wave and Zigbee/Matter radios.
No more tapping and dancing to get a device to include! Just use UD Mobile to scan Smart Start QR code for your device, and watch it seamlessly appear and start working.
S2 secure devices are now supported so you can rest assured that your devices and communications are secure.
Although Z-Wave scenes are not as impressive as INSTEON, but with this new implementation, they come much closer. So, instead of using programs, give them a try!
Migration from your 994 is as easy as backup/restore. All your Z-Wave devices will be migrated to ZMatter board*. For those with Zooz 700 series dongle, the migration process is as easy.
*Some devices may require manual intervention especially if they support S2.
Although Matter products are not yet available, we are closely monitoring and implementing features as they become available. In the meantime, we will try supporting regular Zigbee devices and then operate in dual Zigbee/Matter mode once Matter is available.
If you ordered a Zooz 700 Series dongle from us, you may return it for a full refund (if Express shipping, up to $12). Please send your invoice to sales@universal-devices.com.
In July 2022, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) filed an Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) aimed at advancing demand flexibility through electric rates. This rulemaking initiative, largely inspired by the results of the successful UD/TeMix RATES project, led Southern California Edison (SCE) to award a contract to Universal Devices (UD) to demonstrate the optimization of off-the-shelf devices using dynamic pricing.
This project leverages a subscription-based model with hourly energy prices, designed to test the ability of smart devices to automatically shift electricity usage to times when energy is both less costly and has lower emissions. By aligning energy usage with optimal times, the program aims to improve the reliability of the power grid and offer cost savings to customers.
California is considering this pilot program as a tool to accelerate the transition to clean, carbon-free energy, enhance the power grid’s reliability, and lower the overall cost of electricity. This effort underscores the state’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions that benefit both consumers and the environment.
For those unable to attend in person, rest assured—the full presentation speaks volumes and captures invaluable insights!
SCE Smart Meter Project set out to:
Even though the project was halted halfway due to COVID-19, results are quite impressive:
Here’s the link to the published version of the final results.
So you have a Tesla Powerwall and you know that it stores electricity. But, you have no idea how to integrate with everything else in your home to your advantage? For instance:
In summary you can do anything the iOS mobile app supports but under control of ISY (ISY controls the parameters available the app based on its decisions).
Tesla Powerwall runs on both Polisy (use Z9F44G4R for 20% discount) as well as Polyglot Cloud. And, access everything from One App: UD Mobile!
PG&E plans to default residential customers to Time-of-Use (TOU) rates starting April 2021. The objective of this Demand Response Emerging Technology (DRET) demonstration project is to leverage residential Voice Assistants technology (such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home) to educate residential customers on energy usage and bill forecast, rates and Time-Of-Use automation/optimization, available IoT and connectivity, configuration, and notification on utility information.
