No actually I'm sad but that is just the cost of being right about something so tragic. Link to comment

You've got me there. I've never heard of an automation company leaving a website up after they are no longer making products... http://jdstechnologies.com/stargate.html Link to comment

Just the Matrix playing it's usual tricks Those links aren't tied back to inventory in any way. That automated system will happily keep accepting orders for stock that doesn't exist until somebody remembers to edit the product page. Maybe your order will ship before the barrel runs dry or maybe it won't. Either way there will be no delay in charging your credit card or sucking cash from you via Paypal. Link to comment

DAlter01 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Is there something wrong with this thread? It seems to be repeating posts from 20 pages ago..... or, is this starting to be a bit repetitive? Link to comment

upstatemike Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Insteon products are definitely NOT discontinued... they are just switching to a new business strategy that does not involve selling any actual hardware. Link to comment

upstatemike Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Insteon products are definitely NOT discontinued... they are just going to be sold under the Nokia brand name now and will start shipping in September, no wait October, or maybe November?, or... Link to comment

Teken Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 On a more serious note would like to see a show of hands as to who purchased the latest Nokia hardware?!? As such I would love to see the inside of the PCB to determine what brands of capacitors are in use. Link to comment
upstatemike Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Insteon products are definitely NOT discontinued... they are just in a quantum state of being both discontinued and continued at the same time. This was first detailed in that famous PLM thought experiment known as Schrödinger's cap. Link to comment

DAlter01 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 28 minutes ago, upstatemike said: Insteon products are definitely NOT discontinued... they are just too shy to come out I just shot down that theory. I needed two dimmers, ordered them Saturday, and got confirmation of shipment a few minutes ago. It seems they do sell and ship hardware. It seems they are still in business and seem to be doing exactly what they said they would be doing which is focusing on keeping stock of the high demand items. Given the very real difficulty in getting supplies (not just chips), it seems they are doing what they can given their reliance on others for materials. I know I'm having all kinds of trouble getting materials for my line of work so I imagine Smartlabs is also. Granted, Insteon is no longer the favorite child of Smartlabs. We all can likely agree that legacy Insteon products are closer to extinction than their brith. But, as of now they are selling the product and acting like a going concern. I know it is fun to speculate and joke about their demise and will do so myself upon occaision. But, I did want to set the record straight for the benefit of other readers with relevant information I can attest to. Not everyone reading this thread will understand Upstatemike's sense of humor. Personally, I think he is usually very funny, but we don't need to hurt the Insteon line by decreasing sales by having somone conclude the Insteon brand's demise is eminent. It's end will come like anything, but it could still be many, many years away. Link to comment
