    They have been announced in many technically related sites.
    There is an official web site where you can actually preorder some of the devices now.
    They claim it is in an addition to the Insteon line. My thought are many of the unique Insteon devices may never come back

      I subscribe to many tech websites and haven’t come across any advertising of Nokia and Insteon. This does not inspire confidence for what will happen to Insteon.

        I saw it on a Techive story. Also mentioned in the UDI forums and Smarthome forums. My many site was probably an over statement

          You'll be giving away the unsupported Insteon crap you have then?
          I'll do you a huge favour and take it off your hands.

            Great! I’ll gladly swap you for your unused $700 dollars cash.

              Found another thread regarding news about Nokia taking over Insteon tech.
              https://forum.insteon.com/forum/main...smart-lighting

              The honest approach for Insteon would be to be responsible and forthcoming with their plans, instead of leaving us, the customers on the lurch.

                  The Nokia hub.
                  https://nokia.smartlabsinc.com/products/bridge

                  Q&A from the Nokia Smartlabs website.

                  Do I still need the Nokia Bridge if I already have a hub or bridge for other smart home products?

                  Yes. Nokia Smart Lighting products use advanced communication and control protocols that are not supported by other smart home hubs and bridges you may already have.

                  Are Insteon products supported by the Nokia Smart Lighting app?

                  At launch the Nokia Smart Lighting app will support only Nokia Smart Lighting devices. We plan to also support some of the most popular Insteon products in the future. Visit nokia.smartlabsinc.com and sign up for email updates to get the latest news.

                  Do the Nokia products work with Zigbee or Z-Wave?

                  You can group and control Nokia Smart Lighting products with Zigbee and Z-Wave products through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant when you also have Zigbee and Z-Wave products connected to Alexa or Google Home.

                  Finally some good news!!!!

                      I asked Nokia support about what Insteon devices will be supported. Below is the email trail.

                      Hello, thank you for your reply. To clarify, you stated that the Nokia Smartlabs Hub will support the Insteon protocol. Does this mean that all Insteon devices currently supported and sold by Insteon can be configured/controlled in the Nokia Hub?

                      Thank you.



                      Reply from Nokia:
                      Thank you for contacting Nokia Smart Lighting support.

                      We would like to inform you that we are planning to support some legacy devices. But unfortunately, we do not have a complete list available at this time.
