The program is OK, the hubs are poor quality.

I am on the second hub at two homes. They eventually fail. Opening up the hub shows a burned resistor and damage circuit board traces. Poor quality of design, no doubt.

Needs an update

This app is good but really, really, REALLY needs an update to sort out the bugs and glitches as well as improve performance/app speed.

Does not Show HD Camera although IOS app does

The interface is a little clunky and slow to update. Everything seems to work except the HD camera. Which is strange given that it works on both the IOS app and the Android app.

Works well for what it does

The Insteon app/hub setup is ideal for most average users who would like home automation. The wire in switches are a bit expensive but they work well. The app for Microsoft Intern for Hub is clear and works 99% of the time with status report. Occasionally have to restart it and re-login to refresh status of devices and scenes.

Nice App

The app is nice, but would love if the Hub also had Z-Wave as well. For the most part the app works good

Works great with the INSTEON Products. Could be better

It does the basic functions that are required to set up INSTEON. There are features missing that the IOS version has. For instance, the local time on the hub cannot be manually set from this app. I had to call Insteon, wait on hold for 25 minutes to have them change it. For some reason, my hub would not automatically sync to the local time even though the location was correct.

Home automation is fun

It is great to be able to log into Insteon from afar and view and control (tilt and pan) my cameras at home. Also good to know that my water leak sensors are reporting no problems. I have a set of lights that the Insteon hub controls to go on at sunset and off at midnight. Pretty neat cuz it compensates as the time of sunset changes. Only complaint is that occasionally the automatic light will fail to turn off. Or my high def camera can't be viewed remotely. I had some issues with the original setup, but I am glad I installed the system about 2 years ago. I have a couple other controls that I want to add to the system.

This app needs a complete rewrite!

I like that I can control my devices from my Windows PC. However, I rarely get to like it because the app constantly locks up and/or will not accept input during use. I can't give more than one star for an app that is this unstable. Please Smarthome rewrite this thing (and your mobile app) so that we don't switch to another more promising home automation platform!
