apostolakisl Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 This is why I don't like IP enabled devices. Insteon is never at risk, it is a closed system. Only the ISY needs tending to. Sure, someone can get up real close to my house and mess with my Insteon lights, but only in so much as they can control the lights, they can't use it as a bridge into anything else. At least I'm pretty sure of that. It would take quite a hacker to figure out how to get an Insteon device to command my ISY to do something that opens my network. It would be so much easier to just kick in the front door and steal my computers. But we all know that hackers don't work that way. They are mostly geeky guys in some foreign country trying to steal numbers in obscure anonymity.
