Yeah I used port forwarding a lot but the ISY portal is so easy, full of features, cheap, and safer. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Right after you closed your eyes.

It seems to be some UI problem. Just select the valid one, edit the current one and save it. The blank one doesn't seem to have any effect on function.

My ISY994 and RPi combo work just fine. I abandoned it for polisy for a few months but resurrected it again until some things settle down. The install was completely new and took some port redefining but works well for again the last few months.

Ditto here. I have experimented with a few Zwave devices but decided to stall that until I move in June but ZigBee still sounds like a better option from the forum rumour mills. The fact that a board or group of people set standards for it sounds much better than a single company controlling Zwave's future, and the problems I hear from Zwave users shows "it' ain't no Insteon protocol"

Setting up for a move to an apartment in mid June, I have been removing SwitchLincs from less needed spots in the house for a while now. After not having enough lighting a few nights ago and having to walk around a 30 x 35' Gathering room to turn on lights manually, I tell you it would be hard to walk away from all my HA equipment now.

I found it very promising that a hacker group couldn't even hack the protocol with so much equipment and brainpower at their disposal. His demo was a complete failure but it proved the SmartLabs whitepaper was BS to put hackers off copying their patents. Very common in industry to do that. Perhaps they will allow their patents to expire and we may see a new and improved Insteon, with backward compatibility to shake up the HA world again.

The events became too obvious to hide their intent, despite many disputes against the logic. The truth seems to be coming out now, slowly. I wonder how crow tastes.

Killing the PLM was a method to squash the competition, ISY994. It comes out now (was being hidden then) that Smarthome was afraid of UDI and did many things to thwart their growth. It didn't work.

If the pulldown menus do not offer decimal degrees, then the device doesn't support them, or the code writer didn't write the options into the code. Likely the latter problem due to most here being American and only familiar with foreignheat. Talking to the code writer may get you special code added to support your cause. Users here are typically quite helpful and very supportive Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Any thermostat setting parameters I have seen so far have been set with pulldown menu selections. If the code writer did not supply half degrees then you need to talk to the NS author to include C support for his/her NS setup tables. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

It appears they got into financial trouble, tried different approaches, bankruptcy, hiring an investor, Rob Lilleness as a figurehead CEO, but the owner just wouldn't let go of his failed ideas, still micro-managing, and took the whole company down with his business depression. He just gave up, and Rob Lilleness may be taking all the brunt of the mud slinging and market anger, while the real culprit hides from public view. It always seemed like the same bad attitude was behind the failures, no matter whose name was in the forefront over the years.

Owning the IP, UDI could license out the technology so they do not become the next 'sole provider', that SmartHomes was so mass rejected for. Other forums would constantly poo-poo the Insteon name due to being a "lone provider". The funny part was Zwave was in the same boat being the only IC manufacturer, but hid it from the market until they let it out into the wild a few years ago.

It wouldn't matter. It would be an Intellectual Property violation. Until the patents are allowed to ex$pire, permission is needed.

with what? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Trouble with all that good stuff is....will the market trust anything with the Insteon name on it anymore? UDI may be jumping on board a sinking ship. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

Sounds like somebody wanted the company and technology dead, right from the git-go.

Gotta' love all the info on the web with no source name, or even dated. This may have been true at one time, or just a pipe-dream at any time but things have changed, apparently.

The old stock has been sold off for the last 3-4 years. I purchased directly from Igonsteon once. All three items were received defective or became defective within a few months. They also held my shipment for over a month before shipping to Canada. When I claimed warranty they replied I could just ship each product back for warranty repair costing more than each product sold for. For example: The iRLinc I received had the sensor wiring reversed and could never work. Of course they couldn't just accept the sensor back or ship me a new sensor (all the way from China?) based on my word. I had to ship the whole thing back to them at about $50 shipping across the border cost. I never dealt with Smarthome/Insteon sales again. Despite all their sales, Canadian distributors were always cheaper after paying the exorbitant shipping and handling fees. (yeah... USPS also takes about 3 weeks).

Careful! I would be sure that somebody is listening, and possibly participating here.

It may have been a hostile take-over by Nokia, and Insteon has been hiding from his father's belt! We can only hope.

We still only have conjecture and guessing as we always have had. Who knows what will become of the technology with a different name?

Do you have any programmed Insteon scenes that control the devices randomly changing?

Contact the bankruptcy brokers. I would think somebody here may know all their phone numbers.
