With the dawn of the Apple HomeKit as the home automation industry standard, there’s no longer any reason why all your smart devices can’t interact with each other. With the Insteon Hub you can plug in all your home appliances and control them in either the Insteon+ app or in HomeKit.

Design 8.7


The design is sleek and intuitive. The Insteon Hub acts and looks like a router from the future for all Insteon compatible applications, as well as the new collection of HomeKit compatible products. The Hub can connect to WiFi and your mobile phone to control everything from scenes to individual lights in your tech-abode.
