This company has been super-responsive to their community (you interactive directly with them in their forums), and they are all about support any manufacturers device, if possible. Supports Insteon/X10 out of the box, and you can add support for Z-Wave and infrared. I ended up using Universal Device's ISY 994i hub. If it also worked with HomeKit, that'd be the cherry on top. My #1 requirement for a hub was that it could do the programming I wanted. I'm going to get some of their leak detectors next. I use a few of their in-wall SwitchLincs and Motion Detectors and they've been great. Insteon products are my first choices, though. I needed a hub that would support their motion detectors, and as of a bit ago, their HomeKit hub couldn't. Is there a HomeKit compatible tripper of some sort? Something that detects that a window or door is open? That would go a long way to solving some of my existing problems.Ĭlick to expand.It doesn't support all Insteon products yet, which is why I skipped it. I need to remember to manually set myself to Home/Away which doesn't fit in with my habits nor is it convenient.

This should work with August's Works With Nest partnership, but it's very unreliable. I'd like my camera to turn on when I leave and turn off when I arrive home.

I'm also hoping that someone releases a HomeKit compatible camera. So, in the coming year, I'm planning to replace my Nest with a HomeKit compatible thermostat. It used to sometimes work but many software updates ago, it just stopped. I also have a Wink Tripper on my patio door which is supposed to turn off my heating/cooling to save energy when someone goes on the patio and leaves the door open. That results in unacceptable lag - sometimes my lights turn on 10-15 seconds after I hit the switch. It uses the Wink cloud to communicate with devices even though they're just feet away from the Wink hub. I have a Wink Relay wall plate which is completely useless. My Nest thermostat, smoke/CO2 detector and DropCam are not. So far, all my Hue lights and my August lock are HomeKit compatible. I have confidence that it'll get sorted out in time. Aside from the chaos that is HomeKit right now with many different apps and multiple hubs, I'm trying to go all in with HomeKit.
