Want to make sure what all I need for operation: The switch, IPhone with Insteon App, and a WIFI connection? Is that all to control it?

You will also need the Insteon Hub to manage the APP and make all your settings through. Its available here on Amazon too.

If you have the hub, then yes that is all you need. I have both an android and an iPad and can control the outlet anywhere I have a wifi connection that's connected to network

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

Yes, but you do need an Insteon compatible hub connected in your home network and an App on your smartphone.

Look at Insteon or X10 technologies. Insteon has outlets you can control from your smartphone or set up on timers to automatically turn on or off. You can also use Motion sensors with the technology to turn devices on when someone enters a room.

Actually, there is a product called Strata Pro - Remote Control for ATEM Switchers available from the iTunes store for $50. Here's the link:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/strata-pro-remote-control/id593898289?mt=8The light version may be good enough. It's only $10:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/strata-lite-remote-control/id594041964?mt=8

This switch can be configured as a X10 switch and can be assigned a unit code and house code. Once that is done, you can control it from X10 controller. Please note that when configured as X10 device, it will not respond to Insteon commands. In other words, it can operate either as X10 device or an Insteon device but not both. Also, when operating in X10 mode, the switch will respond only to powerline commands, not RF. To configure as X10 device, please see the switch documentation page 10. I operated these switches in X10 mode for few months before cutting over to Insteon.

Yes you can; however, you will need to get controler so it can communicate with the iphone app. You will need something as simple as the insteon hub or as powerful as the ISY994i (This is the one I have). It depends on how many devices you want to use, etc.

You can alter settings from any wifi network via the iOS applications. Hope that helps.

You will be able to control your devises with out the internet, provided your phone is connected to the same network as your insteon hub.

No, only Insteon. In fact it doesn't even listen for the power line commands, only RF. I think that could be an issue for very old Insteon controllers. But it should work fine with anything modern. For instance, I am controlling it with a Powerlinc 2413U and it works great.One other caveat. It uses the latest Insteon protocol, so if you're using the Indigo software for Mac to control it, you need the latest version, 6.0. I had the older 4.0 version and it didn't work. Upgrading to 6.0 cost $99, but gives you lots of new features.

Definitely.....It's an advanced system. There is also a mobile app that you can download on your Android or Apple phone to control the device.

It worked for several days before I added the switch. I'm using the basic FiOS setup with an actiontec WiFi router that Verizon gave me.

The only way I can think of (right now) is to set up this iTach inside your local area network (make it work at home, by learning your AC ir commands, etc). After that, create a vpn (with a good vpn capable router) and connect from where ever you are through your VPN using your phone (or tablet, pc, mac, etc) to your home network and lauch which ever app you are using along with the iTach. (you not only need this hardware, you will also need a software to control it, there are a few decent free softwares out there... google it). But IT IS POSSIBLE, just get that VPN running and you are done...

I got the app from the itunes store. I think it is alled ES Remote or something like that and it's free. I have a dedicated I-Pad Mini Retina that I use to control my entire system and it is like having a Control 4 controler pad that would cost over $1000 and does most of what I need.

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.

Insteon devices only work once you have the hub. The hub is what is controlled by the iPhone app. Everything that the hub controls can be controlled through the app. Works very well.

You have to be in the same wifi network to set it up, HOWEVER only for that step. For doing anything else (turning off/on, timers, etc) you can do it via your device's internet after opening the Android/iOS application. I'm not sure about doing it from the internet (as in, logging in to a website from a computer to allow access to the controls).

Controlled by a separate insteon controller. To control via iPhone app you will need to install the seperate Insteon Hub device on your home network. I have done this and works great. The Hub also lets you setup scheduled on/off of lights etc
