Updates from Ken - July 27th

Hi everyone,  

  

It has been an incredibly busy summer for all of us at Insteon and we are not letting this heat wave slow us down!  

 

I am very excited to share that i3 Keypads are now available for purchase. What I personally like about this device is that it can be configured as a dimmer or as an on/off switch plus the button controlling the load is user assignable – an Insteon first! 

 

I also want to thank everyone who beta tested the i3 Keypads to help us get ready for this launch. If you would like to be part of future beta tests, please click here to apply. 

 

On the product availability front, we have the Table Top Enclosures, Dimmer (High-Wattage), and Dimmer (2-Wire) units on order so expect to see pages with NOTIFY ME options coming soon plus more details on ETA’s for those items. 

 

Since we have Powerline Noise Filters back in stock, we do get a few questions about why you would need one. Here are a few tips (read more)

As someone who has been using Insteon technology for close to 20 years, I know how important it is to make sure you are eliminating powerline noise culprits as much as possible while also making sure your Insteon devices are all dual-band to ensure the most reliable communications possible. 

 

Another quick note about Director, we expect to have in-app Siren support by the end of August, and we are still working on I/O Module – Low Voltage Controller (I/O Linc) support. 

 

We have also revived the Insteon Connect site (to a certain extent, that is). Yes, the first four-footer links (Favorites, Rooms, Scenes, and Check-In) are still only compatible with the Hub 1. But we wanted to add some valuable information and resources in the next two links – House Configuration and My Account. 

 

In House Configuration, you can see all the devices on a selected Hub, including Insteon ID, Device Type, Schedule, and Rooms for each device. This can be exported as a .csv file to help with such tasks as setting up a factory reset Hub 2 with a clean device list. 

 

In My Account, you can see your subscription status and expiration date. You can also do a change password request from here. 

 

I wanted to end this note with a request. We have enabled Product Reviews and Questions to our store. Please help us and the Insteon community by leaving reviews with candid and detailed feedback on products you have purchased from our store. To leave a review, you either need to be logged into your account on https://shop.insteon.com/ or use the link provided in the email asking you leave a product review. 

 

If you have a question about a certain product, your peers may have that same question as well so please post it. I am so proud to be part of this great community and I really encourage you to participate with reviews and questions. 

 

Thanks, and have a great week!
