Hi everyone,
Happy New Year! We started off 2023 with a ‘Lunch with Insteon’ webinar last Friday. Thank you for everyone who joined us. If you missed it, click this link and use passcode zu.2Hs$U to watch the recording.
I am excited to announce two new products – the Insteon i3 Dial (DS01) and the Insteon i3 Outlet (WR01). The i3 Dial is a modern take on the classic rotary switch that allows for a simple and intuitive way to turn lights on/off and fine-tune dim levels. The i3 Outlet behaves much like existing Insteon On/Off Outlets, but it should be noted that i3 products have been re-designed from the ground up. Also, both of these products are supported in the current version of Director but we are unable to support them in the Insteon for Hub app.
On the product availability front, we just got in the Popular 50-Button Set for Keypads (2401BT50) and more On/Off Switches (2477S). Later this month, we will be getting in more On/Off (2635-222) and Dimmer (2457D2) Modules as well as Water Leak Sensors (2852-222). The Outdoor On/Off Module (2634-222) arrives at the end of February while Powerline Noise Filters (1626-10) and PLM’s (2413S and 2413U) are expected by the end of March.
We are now offering PLM repair and Hub 2 data migration services, both of which people have been requesting.
I do recommend watching the webinar recording as Richard (my co-founder) walks you through some of the important features of our mobile app. He shared that we are working on supporting I/O Module and Range Extenders within the Director app by end of February. He also announced we plan on supporting Thermostats and Mini-Remotes within Director.
Another important Director feature we are working on is an in-app indication when a sensor is no longer communicating with the Hub. A dead battery is usually the culprit, but at least you will now know in a timely fashion when it is not sensing.
I know this was a long update. So thank you to everyone who made it this far. I hope that you see that we do take your feedback to heart. You asked for the ability to have Hub data migrated. You asked for Thermostats to be supported in Director – and we initially said that was not going to happen. We heard your voices loud and clear so we dedicated resources to these two projects. I cannot promise we will check every box on every wish list, but I can promise we will always listen.
Thank you,
Ken
