Does HydroFlash connect to Insteon devices directly or do you need to connect through the Insteon Hub?

You need to get an PowerLinc Modem - INSTEON Serial Interface (Dual-Band). It runs for about $80. The Hydroflash system does all the wifi connections, but you have to get the Modem to communicate with the other Insteon devices. I haven't played with mine that much, but it seems to work ok for the basic switches I have tried to use. You should look at their manual online for more details.

No. I use a hydroflash system to detect and control Insteon devices. We had a 20 hr power failure recently. I came right up when power is installed. Doesn't you controller have battery backup?

No it does not, but any insteon controller will work, here is a link to one popular type, http://shop.haworldonline.com/Insteon-Mini-Remote-4-Scene-Keypad-2342-232-11605.htm. They are also available on Amazon. The Insteon hub will allow you to use a PC Tablet or smartphone as a remote controller as well.

I linked mine directly to an insteon motion detector, the reaction time was far superior then when I used a hub. With hub I often had a second or so delay, tied directly without the hub it seemed to be instantaneous. Unfortunately the bulb quit working after around 15 months.

hi. yes it can. but it's dependent on the software being used. such as houselinc. you should be able to link it directly to another insteon device as u suggest in your question but I have not tried that

No. It will link to most Insteon senders: light switches, timers, etc. Just like the appliance module only waterproof. These are much more versatile and can plug in almost anywhere. They're also dual band.

Matt, our bulbs are not insteon-compatible. After a ridiculous reply that I just noticed I have to mention that we use solid state power drivers which are indeed a new technology, not something of low quality as that "Mike" stated, and such power drivers are not compatible with Insteon. Seems like that "smart" guy knows more than we, who really designed the product. Our bulbs are the highest rated LED Bulbs on Amazon,fact that speaks for itself. But if you have insteon, I am sorry, our product is not compatible. If you have any other questions, we are always here to answer all of them! Matt, our bulbs are not insteon-compatible.

No, sorry it is not. Z Wave requires a different controller than does Insteon.

You need a controller such as Insteon Hub or the ISY and then an app that interacts with the controller. I use MobiLinc and the ISY 994i

The hub requires an application from Insteon to be installed on a PC or smart device; Ipad. Iphone, or Android. The hub is then setup from the application to control the devces in the home. There is no requirement for the application to be running to host the hub at all times.

not a problem anything you plug in will go on and off with an insteon command.

I have an Insteon SmartLinc controller and can control the light via a web interface to the controller or app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarthome.smartlinc&hl;=en). You will need a SmartLinc controller (http://www.amazon.com/Insteon-2413U-PowerLinc-Dual-Band-Interface/dp/B002XA8XNQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1383849080&sr;=8-3&k;eywords=insteon+smartlinc) to control the switch and other Insteon devices. I've added several switches to allow me to do control power to various devices.

Yes. In fact, I used several of these with a 100% X-10 system before switching everything to Insteon. However, you should read the following related to X-10 programming beyond setting primary address: http://www.insteon.com/insteon-x10-programming.

If you search for "insteon module" there are indoor and outdoor versions you can plug into an outlet and control with the motion sensor. I use the outdoor one to control path lighting.

You need an insteon capable hub to communicate with this device that is capable of sending email alerts. I use powerlinc usb hub with homeseer software to get alerts for this and many other isteon devices.

Sort of... You use this by plugging into your PC and it is the hardware part of the hub you need to control Z-Wave devices. This acts as the hardware you need to communicate with the Z-Wave devices which are not on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth spectrum. Once you have this you still need software. I think that InControl Home Automation is tested with the Aeon stick. I didn't have any success getting consistent communication with InControl though. I ended up with a google TV and EnBlink stick instead of this and InControl. The Enblink setup has worked flawlessly.

Using it with a revolv hub(discontinued). It works, but does not have all features that you see in the insteon hub.
