Is possible to use and activate the light without a phone connection at all? I'm thinking for a use such as, "I'm on a hot coding streak, let me be"

We use this with Jabra Pro wireless headsets. This light is on when the headset is off hook. It has nothing to do with being on a call. This will work fine for your needs.

No. There's no way to toggle the light on or off manually, however you can leave the headpiece off the base and that will keep the light on but does not keep the phone line open so you can still receive incoming calls.

I am trying to carefully answer this as "without a phone connection at all" can offer a large variety of variations. However, yes, for example. If you have the base plugged into you computer, you can "open audio connection" via the software on the computer and it will come on

I don't quite understand the question. This can't be used as anything other than a control module for turning on, off, or dimming a plug-in lamp. It does have dual-band capability to receive transmissions over the air as well as the power line, but your smartphone doesn't have the capability to generate those signals without the use of either the SmartLinc or the HUB modules... both of which accept commands from a smartphone app and/or a web-based interface. If your SmartLinc or HUB module which interfaces with the internet is down, you would not have access to this module from a smartphone at all. I don't quite understand the question.

During the day the light does not come on. A night it would not be able to capture images without the light. I hope that helps out with your question,but no there is not a way to deactivate the light.

I believe you can turn if off using the pin they provide you with to initially turn it on. To turn it ON you insert the pin in a small hole till it clicks. This is the ON position. Using the same pin you reinsert the pin into a different hole till you hear a click and it is OFF. The "holes" are marked ON/OFF and are easily found. Putting it in OFF disables the light. If you enable it again by turning it ON with the pin/hole it remains very dim at night. There is no simple switch to turn it on/off as the light seems it was designed to be on most of the time.

Yes, more than one phone can control it. Only one phone can be tethered to it at a time though. If for example you left home your roommate will be able to control it with his phone once you're out of range and vice versa. Both of you will not how ever be able to connect and control the bulb simultaneously.

Yes, you can just set it to light only with no sound. You can also adjust the brightness of the ending light as well.

Yes you can. Just don't expect anything else to work. Ex: the blinking red light!

You can when you are using manual activation and no when you are using motion sensor,but, you really dont need to. At least we have not. We just love it!

Yes. Set it to the off setting. No nite lite but full function in case of power loss.

Yes, you can if you have the Insteon Remote to turn on / off / dim the light. You can also control the light from the Insteon Hub. This is the control that I use: http://www.amazon.com/INSTEON-Mini-Remote-4-Scene/dp/B005LIH2QG/ref=pd_sim_hi_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0XNXNWH102A0AW7M5YGT

Yes the light can be turned off by going to the set up screen menu and clicking on the "off" for the indicator light. I turned my light off this way but I think you can only do this on the computer and not on the phone app.

If you have a hub (or a computer connected with the insteon software) the hub/computer can email or text you as you set up. Using the hub and the insteon app on my iphone I can switch modes (home, away, night only, led on or off, etc) from within my app. But by itself, it doesn't do much at all...

Good idea. I think you'll be fine without Internet, because through the app you program the device - not an app speaking to the device. If you create rules with IFTTT, rather than the belkin app, you will need an internet connection.

Remotely yes - via phone or computer. However "voice commands" will not allow you to turn on/off the unit.

Yes. You are going to need an online fuse to operate the device. I personally would not try to use it without.

Not certain i understand your question fully. its a programmable fixture so why would one buy it if they didnt want that feature? you want to turn the fixture off but you dont want to physically do it nor do you want it programmed to turn off?? you can just push the button used for programming to turn the light off. thats your choice. you either program it to turn off or yes you have to push the button to turn it off.....or unplug it i guess??

It is true you cannot turnoff the light. You can use the light without the bubble just disconnect the air line I have.
