You can use it to do just about eveything but u need a 3rd party software like incontrol home automation for it to work. It's like a hub with out the software. You do need a computer running 24/7 with the software on it they also have a app for the software also

No, this device does NOT replace the controller. You will need to plug it into a computer (such as a raspberry pi or PC) to retrieve the sensor data and then make that data available to other devices.

Yes, it can replace hub&controller.; However it needs to be plugged into a computer and you need to run software that allows remote access using smart phone.

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.

This will act as the controller. you will just have to leave the computer on and with the software running. if you plan to use the smartphone outside your house to control you will also have to open the appropriate port on your router.

No u can use your sensors!!! When I brought the bike to the shop they used the Prevoius wireless sensors I had on there and gave me back the sensor that comes with the ibike Newton. I love using it works great for me has been with every penny!!! The set up was interesting but not all that difficult watch YouTube videos and good luck:)

I was not able to get this sensor to work becuause I was not able to access the installer menu. You have to enter the installer menu to tell the system to "learn" that there is a new sensor installed.You need to know IF you can access the installer menu (requires a special code) before you order any new wireless sensor or else (like me) you will not be able to use it. We ended up replacing the entire GE system with a DSC system from ADT. The DSC system has hard wired door sensors so we do not have to worry about batteries and wireless codes etc.

I was just about to ask the same question. The INSTEON website notes that the Dual-Mode is a new feature for the hub, so I was concerned that this kit (which is less than buying the hub alone) was using the previous version of the hub that wasn't dual-mode.

Yes - You can REMOVE a sensor at the key pad or DELETE it with the Master keyfob (easy way I am sure) or by logging in to your computer and deleting it from the complete list that is displayed. SAVE the change and then plug the master Key pad into the tower that communicates with the monitoring service - it will sync with the new configuration. The real easy way is to put it in a box still working. Do not just take the battery out or carry it out of range as the system will report errors within 24 hours. It misses any of its missing "children".

no, just the switch. The remote can be purchased separately, but I recommend reading a bit more about the remotes, they need an rf receiver, like a dual band device to work... If you already have an insteon hub, then you can use your smartphone as a remote... the smartphone communicates with the hub, and the hub with the switch...

No. Not all are sensors. You may need one for some. It depends on what you are trying to do.

Short answer; no this doesn't work with Wink. Long answer; I tried to get this working on Wink. The hub recognized it as a sensor, but then I wasn't able to successfully trigger any devices with the motion sensor. And it also didn't seem to recognize any sensor except for the motion sensor.

I don't know how it works with the Smart Things controller, but it does with the Vera 3. For those looking for a controller, I would suggest a Vera 3 or Veralite because it provides support for more functionality and protocols than other systems. The downside is that configuration is more complex.

No, Insteon needs a controller too. The Insteon Hub is pretty good, simple, and has an iPhone app.

It won't work with the Smart Hub. The plug sizes are different. I purchased the same item with the intention of using it with the Smart Hub and ran into the same problem.

There is hope - but not in THIS product, but its successors and its successors competitors - in 2015 (delayed from April to late 2015) the 2nd Gen of the SmartThings Hub is due to come out (around the time non-cloud solutions like Vera also update) with a version that 'should' allow the logic to run 'on the hub' - so that the control capabilities will be up even when the network/cloud/Samsung's servers are down. If they pull that off (to catch up to the Vera in that regard) then that SmarThings Hub 2.0 will be worth considering.

No, as I understand things, this sensor is designed to work only with the 2GiG wireless alarm panel. That alarm panel also talks z-wave, but that's a separate feature not associated with this sensor.

This is just the controller and remote. The hub is separate and only needed for wifi connectivity and for the app. If you just want to control your lights with this touch remote, this is all you need. Just note that some led strips have a different color configuration, so you may need to switch some of the wires around where the strip plugs into the controller.

Yes , but you have yo upgrade your service to " sensor monitoring service "no charge

Well, not really. The sensor must connect to the hub over a short-distance wireless link. The hub then handles the tasks of alerting or controlling whatever the user has programmed. The hub must be connected to the internet for any information to leave the premises.

Yes, I know you can use the "Dropcam" camera to be connected to the smartthings hub wirelessly. You can view and record video remotely from your smartphone.
