Reasons to move to the Insteon Director App

All our App development is focused on Director. When we acquired the company, we had to make decisions related to what the path forward would be for Insteon. Based on the older Insteon for Hub (IFH) App being very out of compliance and some of the source code missing, we decided to rebuild Director. There has been a lot of work done on Director since Fall of 2022. Although we have much more to do, we have added support for several existing products such as:

Director App does provide other advantages over IFH. For instance, offsets to sunrise/sunset, faster login, the ability to schedule multiple devices at the same time. Please see the table below for other features.

We will continue to improve the user interface through 2024 such as creating full control pages for the keypads (when you select a keypad you will see the keys on the keypad), and many other enhancements.

Eventually the Insteon for Hub (IFH) App will not be available through the Apple and Google store. We encourage you to move over to Director now and provide us with feedback. You can provide us with Director feedback here.

We realize that we have a lot of work ahead to have Director be a first in class App. However, we are committed to making it a great App.
