I will be using the Elk M1XEP Ethernet port with my Elk Mk1 gold set up. I am a complete novice and as I understand (which in no way is complete yet), the Ethernet port will connect the ISY 994i which in turn will control Insteon lighting. This is done via LAN. For all of this to work well, do I have to subscribe to a third party service that will offer a static IP address? or is there any way to get a static IP address without having to pay a fee for it? or do I not need to worry about getting a static IP address at all?
Thanks!
Thanks!
