Insteon update from Ken - Feb 3, 2023

Recommended Posts

New email out from Ken @ Insteon with some neat aspects. Hopefully most here have signed up for such news letters. If you haven't at the end of every page at https://www.insteon.com is a form to "Sign up for the latest and greatest news from Insteon."

There are two surveys in this that appear tied to recipient's email so won't be posting those links, but the other good thing is a link to "FEEDBACK to Insteon". Many here have been hoping for specific devices or other information from them (ie allowing UD access to new Insteon details so hopefully it will be supported in future IoX updates). 

Here is that feedback link: https://www.insteon.com/general-feedback

Rest of the update:

-----------------------

Hi everyone,
I am happy to share that our new i3 Dial and Outlet are now shipping. The response to these two new products has been amazing and we cannot wait to hear what you think about them.
We also will be having our next ‘Lunch with Insteon’ webinar scheduled for 2/17, registration details to be sent closer to the event. In this webinar, Richard (my co-founder) will be giving a demo of the new features in the latest version of our Director app. Speaking of which, one quick note about the version of Director released last week – you are now able to see if a sensor has not communicated with the Hub for a few days. The tile for this sensor in the app will appear yellow. This likely means a dead battery that needs to be changed. However, if a new battery does not resolve the issue, it may be a communication issue. You can read more about this feature and learn some troubleshooting tips here.
Regarding future updates to Director, we had discussed exposing unsupported devices and displaying some basic information that you might find useful. For example, you may not be able to control an unsupported device, but you would be able to see information such as: whether the device is communicating with your Hub, its Insteon ID, its communication types (powerline and/or wireless), etc. We would like your input on what these should be listed as. We have kicked around a few and want to know your thoughts.
While we’re on the subject of feedback, we also want to know your “wish list” of what we should be bringing back into stock. Please note, your responses do not guarantee we will resume the manufacturing of those devices, but we would really like to see the demand for these products.
I know a few people have reached out saying “You keep asking for feedback, how do I give it to you?” Moving forward, all of my updates will include a link to a feedback form under my signature. Please tell us what we are doing right. And, more importantly, what we can do better. Richard and I are committed to reading each submission.  
Thank you in advance for doing those two surveys* and for any feedback you would like to share,  
Ken CEO, Insteon Technologies
* Note, we will close the surveys in a week so we can begin looking at the results.

I guess the MS devices are gone forever? What kind of lighting automation is there without ISY knowing you are home or occupying any room? Maybe Insteon has become just a remote control system, now.

It sure would be nice if Insteon would get the bugs out of the MS II that was created and make it available for users.

There's a motion sensor for the new system. There was still some bugs with that one so there's hope that it will be released in the future

but...none of this matters if they don't provide the data to allow UD to support it.
