Do you have to have an Insteon hub to use this module?

No. It will link to most Insteon senders: light switches, timers, etc. Just like the appliance module only waterproof. These are much more versatile and can plug in almost anywhere. They're also dual band.

No you do not need a hub to use this productIt will sync with any of the programmer devices sold for insteon based plugs

I do use a hub, but you must link it to "Something" that has control. So if you want to use ONLY your phone + this switch, it won't work that way.

Yes, with caveats. See http://www.smarthome.com/2413S/PowerLinc-Modem-INSTEON-Serial-Interface-Dual-Band/p.aspx. The Insteon devices themselves are both X-10 and Insteon capable.

No these are individual switches. I got the newest insteon hub on special at Smarthome.com for about $40.

I believe the capability you are referring to would be Conditional Triggers. The INSTEON Hub itself does NOT support conditional riggers (if, then, else, etc.), but INSTEON offers HouseLinc which is a free solution which I believe can be used in addition to the Hub. You can see the comparison of features near the bottom of the following page: http://www.insteon.com/2242-222-insteon-hub.html -- Look for the "Central Controllers Compared" section.

If you have a hub (or a computer connected with the insteon software) the hub/computer can email or text you as you set up. Using the hub and the insteon app on my iphone I can switch modes (home, away, night only, led on or off, etc) from within my app. But by itself, it doesn't do much at all...

An interesting questions involving more than just the LampLinc module. I suggest you contact Insteon for a technical spec sheet for this module. Issues involved in resolving this question are what is required to reset the modem, other than a power on/off. Also, how does the Smartphone access the module without accessing the modem? Interesting problem that could be explored just for the fun of it. Good luck. Let me know how it turns out.

You need the hub to be able to control remotely. The hub connects to your router, and uses the routers Wi-Fi or internet conection for remote control.

I am not sure. Maybe you could check with the manufacturer?http://www.insteon.com

Everything can be made locally, you only need use internet to register the hub for the first time. You need to have your Insteon hub connected by wire to the wifi modem in order to program and control every Insteon device. Once programed and if you don't need to control devices from your tablet or smartphone you can unplug the hub from the wifi modem.

The modules in the box are dual mode, but I never had the need to see if RF worked from the hub itself. I have active phase bridges and RF is all over the place -- it's hard to isolate one mode from another when the system is working.

No, Insteon devices are not currently compatible with SmartThings, and the company has no plans to add Insteon support. A few users with the older SmartLink (no longer sold) have managed to get a few individual devices working, so your mileage may vary if you have one and you're willing to tinker with the code a bit. Otherwise I'd suggest going with another sensor or something like Revolv if you're not invested in SmartThings yet.

Yes, you have to a controlling hub. It might work with other Z-Wave hubs but it's intended to be used with the SmartThings hub

The software works with android but you need the insteon controller not just the outlet

hi. yes it can. but it's dependent on the software being used. such as houselinc. you should be able to link it directly to another insteon device as u suggest in your question but I have not tried that

I'm not certain what you are asking .. Are u looking for another brand of Internet control garage opener ? I'm sure there are other brand but insteon is the only unit I ever own. This unit will requires additional part to operate. It needed an insteon central hub

All you need is the Insteon Hub (Controller that communicates with the wireless devices) and to download the free INSTEON app and you are good to go.

I think that you need the Smarthome 2412N SmartLinc INSTEON Central Controller, the Smarthome 2412N need to be connected to the LAN of your Location.
