Got a Lumia 950 at AT&T today. The INSTEON app does not work, it opens and then immediately closes. Is this something that is being worked on? Any solutions?

Nice idea, but the operating system were designed to be competitive, not compatible. Not great for app designers, but it helps when selling phones.Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

Got myself an Unlocked Lumia 950 a couple of days ago and just tried installing and opening Insteon for Hub and, sure enough, it will not open. I sure hope Insteon is working on a fix for this quickly. I was preparing to get my Christmas lights this weekend and connect them to three separate on/off switches; I guess I'll have to rely on the PC app to set them up and use them unless we get a fix soon.

My reply was a response to someone asking about a universal app (e.g., one app for Android, iOS and Windows), not different revisions of a particular OS. I had no problem using the Windows Hub app when I updated from 8.1 to 10.Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

For everyone having this problem still after months and months, try the third-party app Homeboy in the app store. You can at least control your lights again, doesn't seem to support cameras though.Last edited by RockComp; 01-18-2016, 08:41 PM.

The Insteon app for the Windows phones is probably also the one that runs on desktops/laptops, and it's what crc61 was referring to by "universal app."

Agreed. I would love a Windows 10 UAP that runs on Win10 mobile (I also have a Lumia 950) and replaces the modern app Insteon has for Windows 10 desktop. Especially since the modern app for Windows 10 desktop has some issues (location doesn't work, as an example).
Does Insteon have a uservoice or other home for feedback such that we can upvote a request for a Win10 UAP?
