Description
Hello everyone!
If you are a user of the older Insteon for Hub app, are using a Hub 2 (2245-222), and haven’t yet tried this newer app version, here are some great enhancements to know about:
This app is an entirely new experience, redesigned to simplify how you manage your home. Bold tiles 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. We’ve also added one of the most-requested features to schedules: sunrise and sunset offsets, so your scenes can occur up to 4 hours before or after the sun goes up or down in your local area.
We’ve added sensor check-in tracking so that if your sensor supports heartbeat broadcasts, we will let you know when it’s time to check the battery or other communication issues.
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.
--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 to create scenes

Ratings and Reviews
Some better, some not
The UI is nice but I prefer to have more visible buttons at the same time (smaller buttons) and different icons pictures in buttons to help identify them.
Loved the Insteon product but losing confidence.
An Unfortunate update/release
As someone who beta tested the app prior to release, it did not have the issues we’re faced with in this public release.
After somewhat of a love letter from the CEO about Insteon devices and the direction of the app to its user base, long-standing Insteon supporters of its products were looking forward to this release.
What we have is still limited for today’s well informed and mature Smarthome user base.
With the lack of updates or even acknowledging the issues with this release, it has caused me to lose trust in Insteon and begin the costly replacement of Insteon devices in my home after many years of building a purely Insteon Smarthome.
Under new management
The new team has been great! Keep up the great work! Would love the ability to set a max brightness for when you use the switch. Also would be great if you could disable the switch so it only works in the app
