paulbates Posted Friday at 10:57 PM Posted Friday at 10:57 PM I reviewed the Insteon webinar, and providing cliffs notes. All-in-all, good news New products in the works 0 - 10 volt fixture embedded module for LED lighting New PLM - no details, summer-ish release date. Marketing They're re-making their marketing presence; re-coloring(yelllow) & re-branding They're upgrading their distribution channles, but no specifics. Apparently a number of users want to buy insteon at costco, but it didn't appear that Insteon is going that way There's a single band trade-in offer coming, $10 exchange for single band devices (powerline only) and select competitor products. No details but it sounds like this will be announced relatively soon There's an Insteon Embassador program coming where you can get perks for providing certificates to freinds and family, who will also get discounts. No details UDI Support UDI & eISY referred to multiple times in a positive way It was stated that UDI is a key partner and the first one to get docs for new products Insteon understands the integration demark, where there capabilities end and UDI picks up They recommended users that need more than Director should look at eisy Matter update Their matter integration is not there yet My interpretation is that they're having the same uphill climb with Matter integration as UDI and others They pointed to smart assistants that they integrate with, like alexa, as proxies to Matter Other things: Phillps Warm Glow mentioned as a dimmable LED that works well with Insteon Users are wanting sunset products like syncrolincs and togglincs, but they're not resuscitating them unless there is a lot of specific demand for them 2 5 Quote
Guy Lavoie Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Thanks for that. I just listened to the whole thing. Not very heavy on technical details but it does give a sense of how they're seeing the future. I like how at the very end, they do acknowledge that their hub can only do so much and for the real techies, eisy is the way to go 😀 They do mention the current tariff war at the beginning, and how it will put pressure on prices.
