without any warning or notice… all my insteon home automation products are now junk…
I think in the future this sort of thing is bound to happen more and more often. I have a few different products that depend on the continued success of the company.
kind of like a certain… laser engraver we all know…
Ouch. I hope you didn’t have too many of their products…something easily swappable…
Just half my house
Okay…Double ouch. The no warning thing is quite scary…I’m very sorry to hear that. That’s going to be a lot of work.
Time to check out Home Assistant.
the other half of my house is on wifi - I will just replace the dead insteon’s
that sucks. i remember when automatic basically said, “all the original units are useless, but we’ll give you a few dollars toward buying one of the newer, more expensive models.”
I had a lot of Insteon stuff but man, it just kept dying… it was so flaky! I had begun to distance myself from it long before this shameful final chapter.
Now I have a Hubitat hub and a combination of Zigbee and Zwave gear.
Smell ya later, Insteon!
On the comments on arstechnica there are some mitigation strategies to keep running briefly then transition away to other technologies.
