eKeypad Pro

There is really nothing else in this space that has the wealth of features eKeypad Pro has for the control of an Insteon network though the ISY994i controller. That said, reliability is a bit of an issue. It’s frustrating when it “ignores” button presses. It’s more frustrating when it won’t connect to the ISY at all, particularly after a router power cycle/power failure (though this may be an ISY issue - I simply don’t have the time of the means to diagnose and isolate it to one or the other, but cycling network access on the ISY resolves it. Damned difficult to do when not on site, though…) And the Apple Watch app. I really miss it. Was great to have that ease of access, but apparently too great a burden on the developers to keep it alive. It’s been years…

I’ve been using ekeypad Pro for several years and wouldn’t want to live without it. If you have the Elk system you will want to have ekeypad pro. The app has been very dependable through the years but as you can see from recent reviews it has had problems with a recent update. Support of the app has been excellent in the past and I am confident that this problem will be resolved soon. I have already received instructions to repair the problem and it appears to work at so far. Before you let a few recent bad reviews scare you away from this app you should read all of the excellent reviews it has gotten through the years.

I have been using eKeypad Pro for about a year and it does it all. I presently use it to control Home Automation through an ISY 99. The app really makes it easy to control lighting, thermostat, scenes as well as programs. I just recently added two Foscam cameras and that also works great with eKeypad Pro. The excellent support you get from Jayson Callaway is well worth the price....5 star support. I actually sent an e-mail to Jayson on Sunday evening with a question and he responded a few minutes later with an answer. I would like to update my review from 5 years ago. I just recently purchased an Apple Watch 11. My eKepad Pro works great with my watch. I can now turn on/off lights and arm/disarm my Elk M1Gold security panel from my Apple Watch. The customer service Jayson provides is outstanding. If any one wants the best and most flexible app for controlling their home automation, security system and cameras this is the one.
