Do you have to have the gateway? Or can it work with just the light control box and an iphone app?

I do have the gateway. In order to use the outlet liftmaster device you will need the gateway. The gateway talks to the liftmast webpage and you access the liftmaster web page over the inet for it all to work. For outlet device like this I would recommend using the ecobee outlet plugs. They connect to the thermostat and you manage them thru ecobee website (still on inet) but the options you get are amazing, complete schedule setup and reporting of energy usage.

Yes. You need the gateway to make this device work. You can add the garage door later. No yearly fees. It's great.

I have the gateway. The iPhone app sends the request via the internet to the gateway, which in turn talks to the light control box. Without the gateway you can only control the light by the remote switch in the car or the button on the light control box.

i believe you can use it with out the gate way but you will not be able to use the feture of controlling it with you're phone or lap top

You need the gateway. The gateway is the "bridge" between the system in your home & the iPhone app.

David, The bulbs require a signal to turn off and on. With the app on iPad or iPhone its easy to turn on. They also make a table top device that you can program. Hope this helps.

As far as I can tell it has to be the gateway. I have not seen any way to control it other than with the gateway. If you don't have the gateway a light switch will work with it. The default state for the bulb is on, so if the gateway stops working just turn the bulb socket off and on, and the bulb will turn itself back on without need of the gateway.

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

No, I initially purchased the 2 bulb + gateway kit from Home Depot, plugged everything in and configured the gateway. Later I purchased one additional bulb from Amazon and all I had to do was turn off the gateway (not unplug it), install the additional bulb, and that was it. I was able to control all bulbs as a group and individually.

Hi Laura.This one doesn't have an App for the iPhone to control light/sound like some others I looked at but, when my iPhone is hooked up to the light, I can use the volume controls on my phone to adjust the speaker volume as well as the remote. I bought this for my husband as an anniversary gift and he LOVES it...so do I! Just purchased 3 more for Christmas gifts. Hope this helps!

HelloNot without port redirections & static WAN IP addresses on your router, or use of dynamic DNS.There are apps for iPhone but I'm not sure about other phones.I really wouldn't recommend this camera anyway, the light/dark auto-gain issue gives too many false alarms - even when viewing & the sun comes out, the picture flashes rapidly.Cheap product cheaply made. Avoid if possible.Cheers,Ashley

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.

No you do not need to unplug the gateway. Go into the configure section of the app and click on add new lights. This will discover your new bulb and add it to the my lights section of the app.

I would think just one gateway would be needed since multiple devices can be used with the gateway and each device is registered. Yes on the wall control. LiftMaster 888LM Security+ 2.0 MyQ Wall Control Upgrades Previous Models 1998+

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.

Yes ir works, you have to be y the gateway to open your gateway with your smartphone

There's a python API for the lights here: https://github.com/therivenman/pygop , and a Java control here: http://home.stockmopar.com/connected-by-tcp-unofficial-api/ . Neither is official, but I used the Python API to connect the lights to my Nest fire alarm through IFTTT and it works fine. With scripting, you can likely connect the lights to about anything. I believe you still need the gateway to relay the commands to the actual bulbs though.

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...

It will work fine if you have the internet hub. This device requires the iPhone app (free) and the Internet wifi hub. It does not interface with the garage door opener but with the internet hub. The garage door opener also interfaces with the same wifi hub which must be connected to the internet thru your router.
