*Note: this app is designed to support Insteon light switches, keypads, plugs and other lighting related products. If your home has non-lighting control devices, we recommend using "Insteon for Hub" which supports legacy device types such as thermostats, cameras, etc.
Welcome to an all new app experience for use with your North American Insteon Hub 2 (2245-222). Our lighting app is an entirely new experience, redesigned to simplify how you manage your home. Bold tiles, on a dynamic background that changes throughout the day, give you quick access to your devices and scenes. New one-touch actions make it easy to quickly control multiple devices in your home all from the same screen. And adding favorites is now as simple as tapping a single icon.
The app also brings new features to Insteon, including a Schedules view that makes it easier to see what’s happening in your home throughout the day. Speaking of which, we’ve added one of the most-requested features to schedules: You can set up a sunrise and sunset offset, so your scenes can occur up to 4 hours before or after the sun goes up or down in your local area.
You’ll also find that everything in the app is faster. From logging in to navigating between screens, you can expect a faster, fluid experience. Statuses display quickly—no more waiting for each individual device to update. You’ll see the most significant improvements in creating and editing scenes. We’ve completely overhauled how we manage scene updates, in many cases bringing the experience down from minutes to seconds (depending on scene complexity).
Here are some high-level things you should know about the new mobile app before you dive in.
--Device support is limited – check out what is and what is not supported below
--Faster time from launch to device control - Depending on device you can be in less than 3 seconds from launch
--Faster scene creation - Depending on the complexity of the scene, up to 80% faster in some cases
--Easier scheduling – Schedule multiple devices for the same time without the need for scene creation
