I'm new to Insteon. I recently installed a 2245-222 Hub and I am using the Windows 10 app and Windows 10 phone app. I also got 3 of the 2474DWH 2-wire dimmer switches. I am using them to control the front and back poorch lights with timers. I get home in the evening late, so I would like to actually have some lights on when i get home. The other switch is for the hallway so that i am not going into a dark house when i get home at night. I did purchase the 2477S on/off switch but it wouldn't work without the neutral wire. I do not have a neutral wire anywhere in the home. So I am kinda limited on what i can install. That is a bit disappointing.
I do have a 2441TH wall thermostat that i plan to install soon. My current manual thermostat only has 4 wires but after looking at the AC unit that it connects to, the control board does have all the colors/ slots to add a new five wire connection.
I also have 3 2843-222 open/close sensors coming in the mail.
Eventually I would like to set up the 2864-232 Wireless outdoor HD Camera. I plan to get this before december. Amazon has it on sale for 99.00. I am just looking into what kind of power box I am going to use to connect power to it and if I am going to use wifi or run a cat-5 to it. The cool thing is, an Insteon rep did say it was now compatible with the windows 10 app and phone.
I also plan to pick up a 2635-222 on/ff module to control when the light for my baby tortoises. I am curently using cheap timmer I had picked up at home depot. I also think it would be cool to have a 2864-222 HD indoor cam to record and stream the turtles.
This year I am actually planing on setting up christmass lights outside so I do want to get the 2634-222 outdoor on/off module to control those as well. Since it is outside I may need to pick up the 2992-222 range extender to get the signal out there.
I do have an older water heater, and i am afrade i will come home to a flood one of these days do I want to get the 2852-222 water leak detection unit.
Another cool thing i want is the 2982-222 plug in smoke bridge to go with a First Alert DC-500 onelink Smoke and CO alarm.
i think it would be cool to have the 24950A3 rain sensor kit!
I would love to have the 31286 Smartenit 5010t powercost monitor. However my power company APS told me it is against their policy to use any device with their Estern automated monitors. Even if it is simply reading information and not transmitting it I would face a hefty fine of a few thousand dollars. Totally ridiculous! It would be cool to have high peak energy use trigger other items using power to turn off or send me an alert that im using a high level of energy. but nope!
One thing that disappoint me is that there is no outside temperature monitoring for Insteon. This could be helpful in that when it is colder outside then inside, the AC shuts off and I get an alert to open a window. This would be a cool cost saving feature.
Any recommendations on anything? I'm excited. So far its a cool system! [h=1][/h]
