One word: Buggy

It took me over a year to finally get my two homes (primary and vacation) working perfectly. Some wired units had to be replaced for failure to connect - may be my fault for mis-wirring. I'm giving them the benefit of doubt. I've bought range extenders. I've changed outdoor timers. I have my primary wired with lots of lamps and outdoor lights on a schedule. I have cameras to monitor my vacation home - which was a primary factor in my purchase. It took lots of tech support to get the cameras operating correctly for remote viewing, but when working they were great.

Lots of upfront cost, BUT I prefer that over monthly fees some systems require. I don't like the fact that I can't have more than one schedule to come on at sunset - everything that turns on at sunset must go off at the same time.

Now I go on vacation and I can't connect. My lake house alarm goes off and my alarm app tells me it's a motion sensor. Insteon fails to connect and I can't see inside. I can't connect to anything. I get home and still can't connect. I can't even connect inside my primary residence. Frustrating is an understatement. Is this a result of the hubs planned - and then delayed - updated?

Would be 4-5 when they fix fatal flaw in App

Your iOS App has a fatal flaw; I am writing to hope that your developers can fix this problem. For those who have multiple sites under "House Management: Current House", you need to fix the app so that the user can chose the current house at startup. At the present, the app defaults to the last chosen Current House, and this leads to preventing the user from connecting to any of their Houses, if the last house chosen has lost power. In the event of a power failure, the App ALWAYS continues to connect to the house with no power when that was the last house chosen, which prevents the user to connecting to any house, as there is no way to get to the settings menu to allow the user to change to a house that has power, so the app becomes useless for any account that has multiple houses. There needs to be a user choice at startup to allow the user to switch Current House settings in the event that the app cannot connect to the last setting, in the case that either the server cannot be reached for any reason: power outage, internet connection problems, etc... you get the point.

Awful, awful.

Minimum number of features, not to mention very buggy. Two of my water sensors show as being triggered all the time. There seems to be no way to reset them, despite having rebooted everything multiple times and gone through the forget and reinstall procedures several times. These sensors work perfectly with the Indigo home automation program, just not with Insteon's own app. Update: it shows the wrong IP address for all three of my cameras, and yet it still controls them. End it won’t allow me to change the IP address to the correct one. Poorly written software.

Edit: You can’t change your email address without change in your account name. This means if you get a new email address you have to wipe all of the information in the app and start all over again adding devices. Whoever wrote this software should be fired.
