INSTEON for SmartLinc for Android
It fails to connect. wdISY connects just fine with the same parameters.
This is high school quality at best
Waited, followed instructions, waited..."try again" message received after numerous times. Uninstalled and will return this device for a refund.
Does not work. Every path leads to Error
Awful. Doesn't work. Crashes every time I try to log in
Has potential, but is broke right now.
Controls most of my insteon switches, but not my older non-dimable switches. Simple enough to use, but interface could be more intuitive and user friendly. Would be much more useful if the status of devices could be seen easily... ie: an indication of some sort that shows if the device is on or off. Also, too many keystrokes/button pushes just to get to a device scene! Being able to enter the device ID manually/directly into app would be of great help! Would be better if the password would store, versus having to enter it before each use. Works on both Motorola Bionic and Xoom tablet.
I regret buying the products attached to this app. After struggling through terribly programmed software, the Insteon products were intermittent at best. I'm taking them out of storage after a few months of disappointment, hoping things will be different this time. /rage
Does NOT work... The username and password claims it's incorrect on my smartphone, but works perfectly fine on my computer laptop...
Wow is this junk. More junk from smart home. Tried 100 different user names and they are all taken. Yeah right... Did I say junk. Wait, yup junk.... X10 is old school next to this, but at least the old x10 items do what they say. Smart home makes junk. Last a year if it works and that is if you are lucky. I have x10 modules that are a decade old and they still work.
Simply will not work. When logging in as a new user, the app gives "An Error Has Occurred" and that is it.
The system works but is no support to configure you router so is not satisfaction on how works
Works great now once you learn how to use it, but i still CANT delete scenes. I have one scene that is not connected to anything just taking up room... PLEASE FIX
Great app but I am unable to login on my galaxy s3 since the latest update. Will give more stars when login issue is fixed.
Will not allow to create an account. This pos is going back....thanks god for Amazon!
Poorly designed user interfaces. Badly designed and implemented software. Buggy. It's almost a parody of something written by an amateur. I can only assume their system security is just as badly implemented, and I will not allow this company access to my network or any device in my home.
I have this installed on my HTC Aria and after the initial screen I cannot see the white text...all I get is the blue background. I know it works cause the devices respond, I just have to guess which room/device I am controlling. I also have it installed on my Kindle and it works (and displays) very well. Sure would be nice to solve the problem with my phone.
I barely got the app to work on my 2412 controlling 2 dimmers. But a month later the controller stopped responding for some reason and there is nothing in this app to help redo the setup or diagnose the problem. I've seen better apps from school kids.
Don't work away from home wifi:-(
The app is usable, but it constantly crashes when switching from wifi to cellular data. The interface has some bugs too, I can't delete scenes in the app.
Claims that user name is already taken for all user names. Crashes after all data for Advanced Connect has been entered. Update (02/05/2013): Problems still persist after several months.
good app only one i could get working with insteon hub, even insteon for hub didnt work. although had to use advanced connect and enter insteon device ip address and port 80 but now i am iron man! now to get a voice control app
Very difficult to get it working. Very buggy and crashes all the time. X10 is so much better.
Doesn't work on galaxy tab 4
This app, on my galaxy S2, is just not practical. It doesn't load to the sign in page, allowing me to type in a password. It takes much took long and much too complicated to get to that screen. Once logged in it takes forever and a day to update before you can use it. Id give it a zero but that was not available. Please address these short comings Insteon. Also can you make it so my phone can auto-login in for me? the thermostat can be turned on, however it doesn't let you adjust the temperature setting.
This app as well as the hardware is junk. If you stand on your head while holding your big toe it may connect but you need a third hand to hold your privates for it to work with hardware. Hardware is crap!
Will not let me create an account keeps saying all the user names are taken.
Constantly hanging up. Hard to do simple things like set a timer
Insteon app can't find network connection since I've updated to kitkat. Update: I reinstalled it and now it is working.
Every username I pick, even nonsense strings, is taken. This won't let me set up an account. FAIL. I would give zero stars for this absolutely terrible first impression.
Um, yeah, apparently that bug fix "preventing new accounts from being set up" didn't take. Spent the most frustrating weekend trying to get this stuff to work. What a joke! I want my weekend back!
This app is a lot better than the web application on the Smartlinc, but it crashes whenever I switch networks. Nice interface. It just needs a little debugging.
Have It running on both my Samsung Galaxy 4 an my Lenovo S2110 Tablet. Added my IP addresses and ports and it find all my rooms and devices fine. I only have lighting controls and all work as expected.
This application doesn't work, at all. I cannot log in using HTC Sensation or Samsung GS3. Crashes on login. Even when it works it is buggy and slow. Avoid this company and their products. I've been ripped off.
Learning curve can be tough, but once everything is programmed correctly it works as touted.
The app works nicely at times, but other times, using it is a horrible experience. It constantly crashes, fails to load device status, fails to update devices, and it has even caused my phone to freeze, requiring a restart. I've had to revert to the web interface countless times when the app falls on its face. I think its time to look for a different app.
All usernames rejected. HTC rezound.
I waited a while to install my 2412. Not sure it made a difference. I found this app very confusing regarding logins. Still can't figure out how to get my Nexus 7 to login to my 2412. I get "No information found for the provided username and password".
Let's hope an update is on the horizon.
