Can I purchase the Revolv home automation hub in replace of the INSTEON hub?

I don't know the answer to that for sure, as I have the Insteon hub. However, I feel like I saw references to compatibility when I was researching this product. If neither website (Revolv nor Insteon) addresses that question specifically, I suggest using the contact form to send a question and ask. You'd definitely want to know they will work together before purchasing, I hear that!

I linked mine directly to an insteon motion detector, the reaction time was far superior then when I used a hub. With hub I often had a second or so delay, tied directly without the hub it seemed to be instantaneous. Unfortunately the bulb quit working after around 15 months.

I was also looking at the Revolv and believe you can. I have both the Insteon Hub/iOS app and HouseLinc controlling the Insteon bulb. When the hub is off. HouseLinc still controls the bulb leading me to believe multiple applications can control it. If I get one, I'll test to confirm.

Yes you can. I currently use my Revolv hub with two INSTEON bulbs with actions for them and I haven't had any problems.

Ray. The short answer is no. Either the INSTEON HUB or the SmartLinc web controller would be required for web access to the bulb. The app requires an actual web controller to link to. You would need either: http://www.smarthome.com/2242-222/INSTEON-Hub/p.aspx or http://www.smarthome.com/2412N/SmartLinc-INSTEON-Central-Controller/p.aspx to gain that web access.

No. You can buy a remote that will control several of these. Or you can buy a controller that will allow you to control the outlet or mutilple outlets or switches with your smart phone or to set up lights to come on and turn off at certain times. There are also light switches that will replace an existing switch that you could also use to control this outlet. If you are just wanting one remote device, depending on what your planning to plug in, there are several different types of controller out there. Lowes sells a lamp switch with a remote. For years I've used X10 switches and I'm in the process of switching to insteon.

Yes. You will get status feedback from the insteon hub on your insteon app.

Yes. I was not yet ready to fully move from X 10 when I had several of these in my system. They program the same way as the old Smarthome X 10 only modules. I have since converted over to all Insteon. Good luck!

Amazon sells them. http://www.amazon.com/Insteon-2413S-PowerLinc-Dual-Band-Interface/

Yes if you are using the Insteon hub you can tie them all together with scenes or schedules.

No, Insteon devices are not currently compatible with SmartThings, and the company has no plans to add Insteon support. A few users with the older SmartLink (no longer sold) have managed to get a few individual devices working, so your mileage may vary if you have one and you're willing to tinker with the code a bit. Otherwise I'd suggest going with another sensor or something like Revolv if you're not invested in SmartThings yet.

There is hope - but not in THIS product, but its successors and its successors competitors - in 2015 (delayed from April to late 2015) the 2nd Gen of the SmartThings Hub is due to come out (around the time non-cloud solutions like Vera also update) with a version that 'should' allow the logic to run 'on the hub' - so that the control capabilities will be up even when the network/cloud/Samsung's servers are down. If they pull that off (to catch up to the Vera in that regard) then that SmarThings Hub 2.0 will be worth considering.

You can use the motion sensor and LED bulb together without a hub, but the sensor and bulb will need to be paired manually. If you have a hub, it makes connecting and controlling all of your devices much easier. Because you can see and select all your device settings and do connections through the hub. If you plan to have many different interconnected Insteon devices, I would recommend you also get a hub.

It only works with INSTEON. You would need an INSTEON controller (I suggest the hub http://www.amazon.com/Insteon-2242-222-INSTEON-Hub/dp/B00AEDTWHK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1405519196&sr;=8-1&keywords;=insteon+hub).

I would call Harmony to make sure, but I believe that you can. The remote only pairs with the hub it was purchased with. So you could set up separate Harmony accounts with the specific equipment for each remote/hub.

By itself, No. You need the INSTEON Hub, than it will work with the Android or iOS App.

Yes, pretty much anything Insteon is compatible. I have both of those and they "work" with my Hub (see my review for other challenges associated with the Hub)

The ISY994i physically interfaces to your computer through the network connection. The software access is provided by them. It has an older look and feel, but I find it quite easy to use. You will need the Smarthome 2413S module if you want to operate Insteon devices. Same for X10 devices. I recommend purchasing the X10 upgrade to the ISY994i if you are going to use X10 devices.

Yes, you can if you have the Insteon Remote to turn on / off / dim the light. You can also control the light from the Insteon Hub. This is the control that I use: http://www.amazon.com/INSTEON-Mini-Remote-4-Scene/dp/B005LIH2QG/ref=pd_sim_hi_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0XNXNWH102A0AW7M5YGT
