Essential Info

The INSTEON Portable USB Adapter is a home control interface that allows hardware-based automation systems to control INSTEON-compatible lights, appliances, heating/air conditioning systems and alarm systems directly via the INSTEON network. The interface requires 3rd party INSTEON software in order to function. This includes Indigo, HCA or Homeseer. Check with third party software developer for support readiness.

The single-band interface sends and receives radio frequency (RF) INSTEON signals. If you are trying to control power line only devices you must have at least one Access Point or dual-band INSTEON product for communication. For best INSTEON network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two dual-band INSTEON products.

Since this is a RF only device, for always on applications, we highly recommend the plug-in dual-band version for superior performance and reliability.

Important Notes:
  • This interface does not support program downloads and therefore the computer/software must remain on to execute timers and triggered events
  • This interface adapter is not compatible with HouseLinc Desktop Software. A HouseLinc-enabled version is available with HouseLinc - INSTEON Desktop Software

  • Important notes:
    • SLD/INSTEON product & customer service support available at the INSTEON Gold Line at 1-800-762-7845 Mon-Fri 9:00am-6:00pm ET

    Just got it and so far is working great with 2 2443's upstairs only to bond the phases. Signal is strong enough to reach both 2443's. Great deal for such a product. Also, works great with Home Control Assistant

    Received the USB stick 5 minutes ago from Fed Ex. I plugged into my Windows 2000 PC without downloading any drivers to see what would happen. I started my software and it immediately found the PLM on COM9. A couple of clicks on the mouse to download a link to a switch into the PLM and I could control the switch and read its status. Unbelievably simple. And now I can get rids of a mess of cables and the old PLM plugged in to a wall outlet. I don't know why Smarthome does not give more detailed information on this great product.

    Works perfectly on my Mac without Installing any drivers! Needed to update Indigo to the latest version but otherwise worked perfectly!
