Can this device also allow an insteon hub to turn on/off the appliance that is plugged into it? That is, can it turn on/off a device?

no this is just a filter to reduce noise on the power line so your Insteon signal is not lost
1383752
No, this unit does not have any control capability. it is simply a noise filter.

This device contains a filter which will prevent passage of an X-10 compatible signal through the end receptacle. It is useful to prevent shunting or absorption of such a signal by some devices, such as a computer power supply. The receptacle on the face of the FilterLinc can allow a signal to pass unimpeded, but the one in its end cannot.

I think that it is only a filter. There are no address controls on the device.

Jon there is no on/ off option for this device. It is strickly a filter for (when for example) when running a blender and the TV get all scratchy. This devive is used to plug in the blender to eleminate the scratches on the TV, while the blender is in use.

Looks like the picture on the product page is wrong. In looking at the manual there is no controlled outlet, just one for unfiltered, and another for filtered.

Yes, you can link the OutletLinc directly to the Insteon Motion Sensor with no problem. The Insteon Hub is required for additional functionality and setting the sensors for timed (macro) events.

I had to replace all my old switches to the new ones. FYI: My Insteon hub still cannot remove device, although now it can add devices.

This device utilizes the Insteon protocol which I do not see listed on the Smartthings website. I do not believe the Smartthings hub will be able to operate this at this time.

Specifically, This Insteon device has a relay output which means that on the end that does the work, it's just a switch and that makes it universal for all loads. Simply, yes, it will work.

I have never used with Insteon, have a friend that said he had. So cant say for sure

I was just about to ask the same question. The INSTEON website notes that the Dual-Mode is a new feature for the hub, so I was concerned that this kit (which is less than buying the hub alone) was using the previous version of the hub that wasn't dual-mode.

I have an Insteon SmartLinc controller and can control the light via a web interface to the controller or app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarthome.smartlinc&hl;=en). You will need a SmartLinc controller (http://www.amazon.com/Insteon-2413U-PowerLinc-Dual-Band-Interface/dp/B002XA8XNQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1383849080&sr;=8-3&k;eywords=insteon+smartlinc) to control the switch and other Insteon devices. I've added several switches to allow me to do control power to various devices.

No. You can buy a remote that will control several of these. Or you can buy a controller that will allow you to control the outlet or mutilple outlets or switches with your smart phone or to set up lights to come on and turn off at certain times. There are also light switches that will replace an existing switch that you could also use to control this outlet. If you are just wanting one remote device, depending on what your planning to plug in, there are several different types of controller out there. Lowes sells a lamp switch with a remote. For years I've used X10 switches and I'm in the process of switching to insteon.

Hi Tj, this is Ryan from the SmartThings support team. Thanks for your question about the SmartThings Hub. We don't expect that we would ever offer a completely disconnected service. That said, in the next phase of our growth, we expect to offer a Version 2 SmartThings Hub that supports temporary local Internet outages. The reason for this is that there are lots of devices that don't require a hub at all - and those devices need to work together - and that requires the SmartThings Cloud. Thanks again and if you have any other questions, feel free and email us at support@smartthings.com

I would think if your outlet is the item that's programmable, that it should, but I can't say for sure. I do know that the item itself can be set to turn on only when it gets a certain temp, much like a thermostat. Not sure if that helps

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

Basically "linking"; being control by another Insteon device (aka switch) or an X10 controller can be down without purchasing an Insteon Hub. However more advanced features are more easily set via PC Software and an Insteon Hub / PLM (ramp rate, initial on dim preset...etc). Basic linking is down via pressing and hold the set button on the front of the plug.

I was also looking at the Revolv and believe you can. I have both the Insteon Hub/iOS app and HouseLinc controlling the Insteon bulb. When the hub is off. HouseLinc still controls the bulb leading me to believe multiple applications can control it. If I get one, I'll test to confirm.

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.

I would download the Insteon free app first. You can create a "sceen" to control multiple devices. Turn items off/on/dim schedule Etc in the app. If you have multiple lights currently controlled by one switch you can order an Insteon wall switch (on Amazon) for much less than replacing many bulbs. The system has endless possibilities and highly recommend Insteon. Lighting, security, cameras, door locks, thermostat. Hope this helps!

The hardware will work with any insteon compatible software. It does not matter witch noble devices you have.
