Can the second serial port be used for control/status of INSTEON devices via the ISY, from an outboard device such as a PC or a micro-controller based device?
The second serial port is used to Administer ISY for functions which we do not allow from the GUI to be performed (for security reasons) such as reset userid/pwd, factory reset, etc. And, thus, you cannot use it to write programs which communicate to INSTEON network through ISY. This said, however, we do have a Java SDK which allows you to write “network” programs which enable you to do exactly what you want to do (through the serial port) using TCP/IP and a network connection.
