Insteon devices can now be controlled by Logitech Harmony remotes.

Using Harmony hub-based remotes, you can now control Insteon wall switches, outlets, plug-in dimmers, lightbulbs and other devices. All that is required is a Harmony Hub based remote, Insteon Hub (model 2245-222) and Insteon devices.

The integration does not work with IR-based remotes and does not work with older Insteon hubs or the newest HomeKit enabled Hub Pro (model 2243-222).

A Harmony remote can now be used to conrol "scenes" that include turning on devices and dimming lights. Harmony’s IFTTT action channel can also be used to trigger Insteon devices.
