We’ve had a busy summer, readying our next generation Insteon mobile app experience for you, our customers. While the whole process has taken a little longer than we had hoped, we’re now in full-on beta testing with hundreds of our user community members. We’ve been getting great feedback, and we’re actively engaging with folks as they report findings and recommendations.

If you signed up for our beta and haven’t yet been invited to participate in the beta test, please don’t lose heart. The response to participate was overwhelming! We’re expanding the beta community in multiple waves, and we do plan to continue to add more testers before we release the new app.

Rebuilding To Be Better…Stronger…Faster

As we mentioned earlier this year, we’re rebuilding the new Insteon mobile app from the ground up. Using a development process and technology that enables us to ensure feature parity between iOS and Android, we can now bring new capabilities to both platforms at the same time. As an example, Android users will be able to manage multiple houses right out of the gate.

The first thing you’ll notice when you open the new Insteon mobile app is an entirely new experience, redesigned to simplify how you manage your home. Bold tiles, on a dynamic background that changes throughout the day, give you quick access to your devices and scenes. New one-touch actions make it easy to quickly control multiple devices in your home all from the same screen. And adding favorites is now as simple as tapping a single icon.
