    Ideal At-Home Control
    SmartLinc works in combination with your router and most mobile Wi-Fi or web-enabled devices to control INSTEON devices within your home. Setup only requires a few easy steps to identify your network IP address and then type it into your PC or mobile device. After setup has been completed, you can start linking INSTEON lights and appliances and creating scenes that will make home life more convenient and energy efficient.
    Requirements:
    • Wi-Fi enabled phone or PDA
    • Wi-Fi router
    • PC connected to router
    Note: The Linksys Router Model WRT610N Version 1 has been found to be incompatible with the Smartlinc. The more recent version WRT610N Version 2 is compatible with the SmartLinc.

    Away from Home Control
    In much the same way as the At-Home setup works, while you are away from home you can access your INSTEON network using SmartLinc in conjunction with any internet connection or Wi-Fi hotspot. Simply identify your home’s IP address and type it into your mobile device, then you can turn devices on or off at anytime, from anywhere, with the same reliability as you would have at home.
    Requirements:
    • Broadband internet connection (at home)
    • Web-enabled phone, PDA or PC
    • Router with port forwarding configured

    Timers
    Whether you are at-home or away from home, scheduling timers for devices on your INSTEON network is a valuable way to not only make your life easier but to manage the amount of energy consumption that is taking place. Timers can be set up from your PC or mobile device for one On time and one Off time for every scene in SmartLinc.

    Pre-Organized, User-Defined Rooms
    SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller takes remote access of your INSTEON home automation network a step further. It gives you the ability to apply unique names and labels for devices and scenes and then further organize those into rooms. By assigning your own naming convention, you define the simplicity of navigating your own network.

    View Power Consumption

    Power consumption on your smartphone
    Get instant access to power consumption (wattage) of a device from any smartphone or web-enabled computer using SmartLinc and an iMeter Solo. If you already own SmartLinc and would like to view the power consumption of the iMeter, simply update your .bin file. SmartLinc currently supports viewing the wattage of one iMeter.

    NOTE: By default, SmartLinc allows you to populate up to 15 rooms. If using the SmartLinc .bin file with iMeter Solo support, SmartLinc will only support population of up to 14 rooms. If you are currently using room 15, please be sure to move those devices/scenes to another room before you update your .bin file.


    IP Camera Support
    SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller enables you access a network surveillance camera so that you can watch your home while you control it, all from a web-enabled device. Turn on your interior lights or your yard lights; and from the same screen watch it happen. This amazing feature has been tested with several Panasonic IP Cameras, sold separately, and consider it to be a valuable tool that integrates your home automation and security into one.

    iPhone and iPod touch Control
    If you already have an iPhone or iPod touch and a Wi-Fi router, SmartLinc is all you need to start controlling all of your INSTEON devices. Simply access the SmartLinc web application via your devices browser and add devices, create lighting scenes and timer events, all from the palm of your hand.

      SmartLinc has internal intelligence to control your home without a computer running a full-time automation program.

    GERALD -- beverly hills, CA   11/26/2011
    Works fine after installation. Coding to connect with X-10 devices is too complicated -- should be simple. Could include settings for time period before or after sunrise\sunset.
    JOHN -- boise, ID   11/9/2011
    This thing pretty much works as advertised, and fits the requirements at my house. I configured the controller using the web browser on my Mac and found the user interface was pretty good, with only a few quirks. Firefox complains when the smartlinc web page tries to redirect the browser to the controller. The clock gains time, so I have to re-set it every month or so. My Timex alarm clock does the same thing, and a knowledgeable friend tells me this may be caused by the power company's electronic meter signaling. Apparently, some devices are sensitive to this. Maybe a software update that includes network time setting via NTP would be possible, and kinda cool. I still have a couple of X10 switches, and this controller occasionally doesn't command them successfully. I don't know why, and plan to replace the switches with Insteons as the budget permits. Setting up X10 commands was not straightforward, but it did teach me a lot about X10.
    SHAWN -- delta, BC   11/1/2011
    Excellent product, works well, built in clock loses 10 seconds per day but otherwise great product !
    CHARLES -- las cruces, NM   11/1/2011
    Excellent customer service.
    MICHAEL J -- caledonia, MI   10/29/2011
    Only negative is that I wish there would just be one option with the serial interface as well as the web-based app. Didn't know this until later.
    LEWIS -- sherman oaks, CA   10/27/2011
    Had some issues getting it to linkup, moved it out from behind the computers, works great now.
    SERGEI -- minneapolis, MN   10/17/2011
    I did not think the instructions to forward a port on the router were very clear to be able to access the controller remotely. Figuring out the line of sight & how the other items interact with another was a little difficult at first. After a couple attempts, I was able to install it.
    PAUL -- kings mills, OH   10/17/2011
    Installation was simple and it worked first time. The software is dated and the user interface is primative but it get the job done. Since you use the software infrequently it's not a big issue.
    CHARLES -- wichita, KS   10/13/2011
    Good concept but needs have the capability to randomly vary turn on/off times at sundown to make the house look occupied. Also very slow when accessed by smartphone - plan on paying for Mobilinc if you want to control the 2412N with a smartphone. Needs to be able to support multiple thermostats, which it doesn't now.
    LINDA -- indianapolis, IN   10/13/2011
    Very easy to plug in and start using. Simple is best.
    MICHAEL -- jamison, PA   10/10/2011
    It took four different units until we found one that could keep reasonably accurate time. The first three units lost 11 seconds or more every 24 hours. The current unit loses 3 seconds every 24 hours. For a device that is designed to turn on and off of the units at specific times this seems to be a major design flaw. It was not for your outstanding support staff I would've ceased to be a customer long ago. I have mechanical clock in my living room that is over 50 years old that keeps better time than the 2412.
    GREGG -- west hills, CA   10/8/2011
    Works well with a standard pc, does not work out of the box with an Android phone. It would be nice if smarthome offered a starter app with the product.
    AARON -- houston, TX   10/8/2011
    Easy Install, Setup and Operation. Limited timing functions, lacking +/- Sunrise/Sunset, lacking Randomizer, lacking ON timed OFF event. Interaction via smartphone is very good however.
    TIM -- hendersonville, NC   10/7/2011
    This was an easy installation. Was able to buy a $20 app for my iPhone that works as a remote control - if rather slow.
    GILBERT -- coral springs, FL   9/29/2011
    Device was easy to install and worked very well. However it seems that the clock is running slow (approx 1 min per week). Since the controller is wired to the router it should synced to the cable time.
    DAVE -- new aurburn, WI   9/24/2011
    i have been installing smart home devices for over 11 yrs.i have been waiting for a network ready device for all them yrs. so it works good with X10 systems.i can control it from my iPhone or any PC .the software needs improvements . it would be nice if smartlinc could scan the electrical circuit to look for devices or interference. it would be better if it had a RF transceiver built in to it.
    WILLIAM A -- clearwater, FL   9/23/2011
    The service and tech support were fast.
    DAVID -- stroudsburg, PA   9/6/2011
    Easy to use and very convenient from laptop or desktop. Looking for the blackberry access for my remote access on the flyl
    GENE -- fernandina beach, FL   8/28/2011
    After hours of on line support the system never operated correctly. Returned Insteon for credit. Reinstall my old X10 system with a breaker box coupler. Everything works fine.
    YARON -- rindge, NH   8/22/2011
    Works ok but not on a phone or itouch. The pages cant load in time for the next refresh and it seems to just loop. Still nice to be able to turn on the lights for my dogs from anywhere.
