Basic Troubleshooting

 

Identify Insteon Hub IP Address and Port

Use the information in this article to identify the IP Address and Port for Insteon Hub. This information may be required for certain troubleshooting steps but will never be needed for normal operation of your Insteon Hub.

 

Use Insteon Connect

  1. Open an internet browser on the same network to which your Insteon Hub is connected and visit connect.insteon.com/getinfo.asp
  2. All Insteon Hubs on your network that have successfully connected to Insteon Servers within the past 24 hours will appear.
  3. The IP Address and currently active port will be listed in large text at the top of the block.
  4. In the example below:

    IP Address: http://10.0.1.10
    Port Number: 25105
 
 
 

Multiple Insteon Hubs

  1. If you have more than one Insteon Hub on your network, you can confirm the correct IP Address and Port using the Insteon ID label on the bottom of Insteon Hub.
  2. Match the Insteon ID on the Insteon ID Label to the Insteon ID presented in the different Insteon Hub blocks.

Insteon Wi-Fi Camera and Dynamic DNS Services

Connecting to your Insteon Wi-Fi Camera when you are away from home requires a reliable connection to your home's internet router. Use the information in this article to learn about configuring your camera for reliable away-from-home access.

 

Home Router IP Address

To connect to your camera when you are away from home, you need to know your home router's IP address. This information can be obtained by visiting this website. Use this internet-facing IP address when you are trying to access your camera from outside your home Wi-Fi network.

With most internet providers, your home IP address is subject to change.

  • Your IP address may change if there is a power outage

  • Your IP address may change if you reset or restart your router or modem

  • Your IP address may change if your internet provider renews your IP address lease

Consequently, relying on the numerical IP address for accessing your home can be problematic. While some IP addresses may stay the same for months, some may be renewed as frequently as every hour. Insteon Wi-Fi Cameras support several Dynamic DNS services that help mitigate this issue.

 

Dynamic DNS Services

A Dynamic DNS Service helps assuage the issue of changing IP addresses by reporting your camera's public IP address to a central, always-available service, ensuring that you always have the up-to-date IP address for your home. Insteon Wi-Fi Cameras support the following Dynamic DNS Services:

These services are all account-based and require that you configure information both with the 3rd party Dynamic DNS Service and the Insteon Wi-Fi Camera. To use a Dynamic DNS Service with your Insteon Wi-Fi Camera, you will need to perform the following steps:

  • Complete the manual port-forwarding steps necessary for remote access

  • Create an account with one of the 3rd party Dynamic DNS Services

  • Add a host to which your camera will forward its IP address information

  • Update your Insteon Wi-Fi Camera with your Dynamic DNS Service login information including User name, password and host

Adding your Dynamic DNS Service account to your Insteon Wi-Fi Camera can only be performed using the web interface. Select DDNS Service Settings from the left sidebar, choose your DDNS Service from the pull-down menu and enter your user name, password and host information.

After your configuration is complete, you will be able to access your camera from a web browser using your Dynamic DNS host name and your camera's port. For example:

http://dannycam.dyndns-server.com:25106

http://your-domain.your-ddns-service.com:your-camera-port

This update is being released on May 18, 2017 and automatically installed although it may take a few days to propagate. This is part two of a two-part release to improve the overall speed of the Insteon ecosystem.  

 

Changes:

  • Added the Smarthops feature to all direct messages. (Smarthops is a method of determining how many Insteon hops are needed to reach a device and then using that number for future communications. This optimizes signaling which results in faster responses to and from the hub. Previously Smarthops were only being done for group messages (scenes). We expect to see an average of 50ms to 200ms reduction in response time.)

  • Hub 2 now only sends 1 message (rather than constantly repeating a message) if a device had previously failed. This is particularly helpful where a device has been unplugged but not deleted from the app for whatever reason (off-season holiday lighting, testing devices, retiring an older device, etc.). If you have such a device, we recommend reinstalling it temporarily to remove it from the app. For those with such a device, the hub goes from taking 5 seconds attempting to reach the unplugged device to 200m. Example: For devices that were added over a year ago, the Hub would send as many as 45 messages even if the device was unplugged. Now, the Hub will only try once if it has determined the device is unplugged.

  • Timing between the Hub and the Insteon network has been optimized so that the Hub no longer has to use timeout delays resulting in a time savings and speeding up of the network.

This update has been a few months in the making and is part of a larger effort to improve all aspects of our hub ecosystem.
