Insteon leak sensors

I am a new IoP owner with all Insteon devices. Basic programming has gone well with all of my devices, but now getting ready to set up my leak sensors. I found this article from 2019, so I wanted to reach out to the ISY pro’s to confirm this is the best way to go for setting up the leak detectors. Appreciate all comments in lay terms for us non-geeks. Thanks!

I also plan to use the ISY portal for the same reasons.

Thanks for confirming. My thought was that not everybody wants the ISY Portal subscription, so they Port Forward for remote access.

This past week, I have been reading as much info as possible in preparation for the installation of IoP….which should be delivered tomorrow. Yay! There is a section and video about Port Forwarding, but can someone confirm this is not needed if you subscribe to the ISY Portal? I am not an IT guy, but isn’t port forwarding used if you aren’t interested in a cloud service? The only time I recall setting up Port Forwarding is before Insteon offered the Hub 10 years ago.

I am also new to Polisy and this forum and you are correct. Many knowledgeable people who care enough to help us. I know I’ll need it when the new controller arrives. Can’t wait!

@Geddy - Thanks for clarifying the part about factory resetting all Insteon devices before migrating from Hub to Polisy. I’ve been reading the wiki, customer installation notes etc and this forum and I still was not aware you had to reset each device….something I’m not looking forward to, but easy to do. I’ll be practicing with the least important devices first for practice before the “great migration”.

The company that Rob is now on the Board of is ISOutsourcing based in Seattle. Not sure what company you’re referring to in Virginia.

Now his profile is completely locked down. Mine, and several others who commented on his profile are gone. I’m tempted to put something on Dan Hay’s (Exec Chairman) profile about Rob, his latest hire. https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-hay-544989

The ROI has already been determined in the products/price point they sell at. This is a chance to sell more product. What doesn’t add up? Be specific.

It may not be "UDI's job to cover for Insteon", but I agree with Ross. This is a tremendous business opportunity for UD to not only gain new customers, but loyal customers for helping them/us out.

That's what I did. A few hours ago, the eBay seller was only showing 10 left when I purchased. I also spoke to UD and not surprisingly, they are getting inundated from Insteon owners. It looks like I'll be migrating to Polisy. UD is working hard to identify sources that can provide the PLM's needed for what will be The Great Migration.

Appreciate the clarification. I believe someone posted that the usb device will work with Polisy

Thanks Teken. Good to see your posts again. You helped me a great deal back in 2012 when I was setting up my Insteon system. I also took your advice on a whole house surge protector that you also use. Always great advice.

Does the usb work on a laptop using 3rd party software like Homeseer?

Thanks. I did see it, but still trying to figure out next steps if my Hub is useless.

This thread began last summer and now its April 2022. Are there any recommendations on what can replace the Insteon Hub 2?
