Nick,
Thats awesome news. I will be very interested in hearing
how your experiments work out so I can confirm if the
Insteon Hub is indeed completely compatible with PowerHome.
Good luck,
Dave.

I can Verify few things
for testing few devices I changed the controller of those device to HUB.
following Worked
X10 power devices ON/OFF
Insteon devices you can control.
Insteon Thermostat.
Insteon Raw Command to Devices.
Trigger on switch which were link to HUB as responder worked.
I also have my PLM still connected and most of the other device are link to that.
To check more trigger I need to figure out to link those to HUB.
Is there an easy way to link those ? I think single device can have multiple responder.
Nick

Nick,
Yes, it should be pretty easy. Just open Insteon
Explorer, go to the Links tab and make the PLM the
current device. You should see the whole list of
controllers and responders to the the current PLM. Just
click in the header of the controllers and click in the
header for the responders. This will highlight all the
controllers and all the responders. With all the
controllers and responders highlighted, click the "Copy"
text. Make the HUB the current device and then click the
"Paste" text. Click the "Save" text and it should start
creating all the links for you.
Dave.

Anymore feedback? I am mostly curious about the remote capabilities using your smartphone.
Thanks

Hey all,
I just received a new Insteon Hub and have started playing with it. This is version 2 (dual band) and I can not connect to port 9761. I have two issues here, one is I'm running Windows 7 64bit and can't get the virtual serial port working. The second is port 9761 is not open on my hub. I did a full port scan of the hub and I found the port number has moved to 9760. I can't currently test to see of PowerHome can use it since I can't get the virtual serial port plugin to load. Is there a workaround for the serial port issues on Windows 7 64bit systems? If so I would love to try and get this thing working.

Twomble,
I would have to verify on some of my setups but Im pretty sure Ive had the VSP working on Windows 7 without issue. I may have had to disable UAC but I'll have to check.
Will post back when I have more info.
Dave.

Thanks Dave. I don't have UAC enabled on this box. I downloaded a freeware virtual com port software from http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html and created a virtual com 7. I also discovered that my network port scanner has a bug (off by 1 error) and version 2 of the Insteon Hub still is at port 9761. With this setup I was able to connect and do some basic things, but the hub would not take the add min or add full ID loads. I eventually gave up on this and decided to just link to it with my normal USB PLM. Using the PowerHome configuration for the SmartLinc I was unable to read the Hub database. I played around with it for a bit and found that the top memory setting needs to be 8192, not 16384 like the old SmartLinc. With this adjustment I am able to read and write links to the Hub. It does not make changes to the web side of the Hub, but if you first link a device and make a scene with the Hub application (iPhone in my case) you can then read the database, see the link, and make all the changes to it you want from PowerHome. Not the best solution, but it works.

Has anyone had any luck installing the VSP driver on 64Bit
Server 2008?

For sure I cannot get VSP working on Win 8 x64. Windows 7 x64 I had to install the drivers that are in the folder to make it work. You might try that on server 2008.
