Just posted this elsewhere on the board - a review for my new spruce system. Note that this is TOTALLY different than my old irrigation caddy in that it uses moisture sensors and upcoming weather forcasts:   I got a new irrigation controller from Spruce that includes moisture sensors that are...

Not sure how relevant this is to you, but here's a review I posted in Facebook:   I got a new irrigation controller from Spruce that includes moisture sensors that are put in the lawn. It really is the next generation in irrigation. In April/May, my system has not watered for the last four...

I eventually bought a cheap casablanca fan with no remote control, so I could use my $1,000 (!!!) fabric blades, then used an insteon fan controller. Works like a charm.

I'm just now installing a Spruce irrigation system that has four moisture sensors. If you look at spruceirrigation.com, there are some articles on the amount of moisture that you should set things for...

Second the Indigo recommendation. Their plug-ins will allow you to control an amazing number of things beyond Insteon (and Z-Wave now), and integrate with your iPhone etc.

Can't speak to anything other than Insteon and Indigo. I simply LOVE Indigo for its developers and support community, and for the flexibility it offers in integrating not only home automation but audio, surveillance cameras, pool controls - there seem to be plug-ins for everything. I've wired in...

Boy I hope you find the secret! I have five beautiful Casablancas that I don't want to replace with cheap white fans, but would love to control!

I'm not expert enough to feel comfortable posting directly, but if there are any Insteon contributors out there... Screw-in dimmer module; I think one should answer Yes (LED Bulb), OR have a new line for LED Bulb availability RF "Stick a Switch" - isn't the remotelinc 2 configured as a single...

I have a Casablanca Inteli-Touch fan that I want to use with an Insteon Fanlinc. I have disassembled the fan and can see the wires as shown on page 6 of the attached wiring diagram. Attaching the Fanlinc wires to the white and black for the fan's light kit is pretty straight forward, as is...

I have a 9-bulb chandelier in my 2-story foyer (about 14-16' from floor), and would like to replace the candelabra bulbs with LEDs. The bulbs face upwards. My wish list includes: - As close to $10/bulb as possible - Warm white required - Dimmable optimal I have two questions. Does anyone...

i've just listed a bunch of Insteon items on ebay and would be happy to sell them for 50% of the current Smarthome price for any/all of them. Shoot me a private message here on on ebay - but once others have started bidding, I will have to go through with the auction. (They are all offered on...

I've been using Indigo 5 for several weeks now and am really pleased and amazed. The Big Thing in v5 was an API for writing python plugins, and a bunch of folks have been writing a whole pile of them. My three favorites so far: Integration with Weather Snoop - it's now simple to create control...
