Insteon Director

Hello everyone! As most of you reading this know, we acquired Insteon a few months ago. We are a small group of passionate users that are committed to responsibly re-building the Insteon business. As part of this re-building is introducing a new name for the app: Insteon Director. This app was formerly known as Insteon Lighting but we felt a name change was important since we plan to add support for devices beyond just “Lighting”.

That being said, before we are able to start adding additional device support, we had to fix numerous bugs and address a few key issues that have existed since the last release of the Insteon Lighting app. Please take a moment to read the release notes and be sure to turn on automatic updates to receive the latest updates to your mobile device.

If you are a user of the Insteon for Hub app, are a Hub 2 (2245-222) user, and haven’t yet tried this newer app version, here are some great enhancements to know about:

This app is an entirely new experience, redesigned to simplify how you manage your home. Bold tiles, on a dynamic background that changes throughout the day, give you quick access to your devices and scenes. New one-touch actions make it easy to quickly control multiple devices in your home all from the same screen. And adding favorites is now as simple as tapping a single icon.

The app also brings new features to Insteon, including a Schedules view that makes it easier to see what’s happening in your home throughout the day. Speaking of which, we’ve added one of the most-requested features to schedules: You can set up a sunrise and sunset offset, so your scenes can occur up to 4 hours before or after the sun goes up or down in your local area.

You’ll also find that everything in the app is faster. From logging in to navigating between screens, you can expect a faster, fluid experience. Statuses display quickly - no more waiting for each individual device to update. You’ll see the most significant improvements in creating and editing scenes. We’ve completely overhauled how we manage scene updates, in many cases bringing the experience down from minutes to seconds (depending on scene complexity).

Here are some high-level things you should know about the new mobile app before you dive in.

--Device support is currently limited - check out what is and what is not supported below
--Faster time from launch to device control - Depending on device you can be in less than 3 seconds from launch
--Faster scene creation - Depending on the complexity of the scene, up to 80% faster in some cases
--Easier scheduling - Schedule multiple devices for the same time without the need for scene creation
