This release adds limited support for Insteon’s versatile I/O Linc device. Specifically, you can now activate the I/O Linc directly in Homeboy for applications like window blinds, garage doors, and more. Note that I/O Linc devices set to “momentary” relay mode may not accurately represent their status. Additionally, the I/O Linc does not report the sensor input status. We’ve also refined how scene control works, ensuring that the scene activates before going back to the previous screen.

Reviews of Homeboy for Insteon Hub

  • Apple Watch interface - needs massive work

    The main/only reason that I downloaded this was for the Apple Watch interface which used to be native on the legacy Insteon app. I just simply want a list of devices to pop up that I can control. Now that I am Apple Watch Ultra, I thought this would be even better. Unfortunately it looks like the only thing this has is Fav Scenes. Not something I really even use nor was looking for.

    I am hoping that this will have a navigable interface on watch and be able to list devices as well as scenes in the very near future. Currently no thought went into the watch interface at all.
  • Display option only

    The Insteon app is no longer available so this allows me to view my Insteon devices and schedules. However, the existing schedules are not editable. Frustrating to be able to view and not change.
  • Works as it should

    I was a beta tester for Insteon’s new app through testflight. That allowed me to use 2 different apps to control my 2 locations without changing locations in the original Insteon app. Very handy! Well the beta version went away, so I went looking for another app to control my 2nd location. This one seemed to be a good choice while reading the reviews in the App Store. So, I installed it and am real happy with the app.
