Truly the Hub for everyone.
We’ve worked hard to make sure that the Insteon Hub works for gadgetologists and novices alike. Zero-configuration remote access and integration with Insteon WiFi Cameras means you don't need a background in IT just to configure your new Hub; just plug it in and go.
Away from Home
Keep an eye on your home wherever you are; at work, on vacation or just in the bathroom. There’s no setup or configuration - it just works from the moment you plug it in.
Camera Integration
Add the ultimate peace of mind with Insteon WiFi Cameras and you can pan and tilt to your heart’s content from your smartphone or tablet.
Enhanced Security
We know that the safety of your home is paramount. That’s why we’ve engineered the new Insteon Hub to use industry standard, secure encrypted communication.
No Monthly Fees
That’s right. No monthly fees to view, control and monitor your home. Other systems on the market charge hundreds of dollars a year for services that you get for free with the Insteon Hub.
Control-agility
Insteon Hub works with almost the entire line of Insteon products. And then some, like the Nest thermostat.
Insteon Hub is not currently compatible with Wireless Thermostat, IR Modules or Energy Monitoring devices. Mini Remotes are currently supported on iOS only.
Central Controllers Compared
In the world of Insteon controllers, not all are created equal. Make sure you get the controller that is right for your needs - modest or grandiose.
