From lighting, appliance and thermostat control to integrated security systems, Insteon allows you to manage your home the way you want - from a handheld remote, wall keypad, computer or web-enabled device like a smart phone. Easy to install and set up, Insteon offers the flexibility and dependability to make life more convenient, safe and energy efficient.

    After approx. 1 years use, we can rate with experience...
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2013*

That these units, when they work, function fairly well. Some examples:1. Master Bedroom ClosetWe have 1 mounted above the door, on the bottom of a shelf, facing down about 2-3 feet into the closet entry. Once we walk into the closet, it registers and activates the light switch to turn on - then off upon a few moments after our departure. This particular location has worked about 90% +/- of the time, requiring resyncing with the light switch 2 or 3 times in the one year since installation.2. Laundry RoomWe have another, mounted about 5ft off the floor, on the wall, looking horizontal across the rooms door entrance. Upon entering the laundry room, it suppose to activate and turn on the light. While inside, doing laundry, moving around, etc...expectations are that it remains on/active, until it detects that we've exited. In the same year, just a few feet away from the switch, this unit (and we've tried one other), dont seem to work correctly, every single time...possibly about 70-80% of the time, it functions as expected.3. Maintenance Room4. Garage DoorAnd several other locations throughout our residence...we have about 12 of these installed.2 have needed to be returned, failing right out of the box upon arrival. 2-3 others have needed to be returned, after failing to sync/connect up with other devices, for whatever reason.For our deployments, the short distances, and its purpose for development, sale and installation - we'd expect better.We're discouraged from buying more....Had they worked better, we'd own another 15-20 units, especially for our space reserved for guests/in-laws, as the technology is ideal for such a space affording lighting control as necessary to save money (they forget to turn lights off, specially daytime).other things worth mentioning...1. the alkaline batteries last about 8-12 months, for as little use as they get (few times a week, if that), they draw quite a lot of power killing batteries too fast in our opinion.2. upon power outages, we've found that most units require "resynching" with their respective light switches, possibly due to the light switches since they are hard wired, and the sensor is not...nonetheless, going around every few months re-establishing connectivity with these motion sensor units post power failures is becoming problematic. So much so, that thoughts of reverting to old school ways in these areas is cropping up more and more - which is unfortunate!

    INSTEON 2420M - Motion sensor
  

*by G***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2012*

Using two in a Insteon network (small @ 30+ devices) for about 2 months, I find setup was easy and reliable once setup. The range of detection is about as good if not better than the hawkeye's from x10, however transmit range seems to be better than the x10 depending on location of your receivers such as a dualband or coupler devices. Seting up a Insteon network does rely on good communications between devices and will improve as more dualband devices or couplers are installed, which seems to solve most issues. I like the sensor and the reporting to the PLM. I use HS2 software/W2K server OS with a PLM 2413U and Mark S. plugin. So far no issues. Shipping from Amazon as always very goood, the only complaint would be the cost per unit, don't think they should cost over 20 USD. Otherwise happy with my purhcase.Edit: May 13, 2013, now nearly a year of useing these motion sensors and still working well, I noticed the model change from the 2420M to 2842-222, but they apear to be the same product. I will know soon as I'm looking at buying 3 more at least for further coverage and replaceing my old hawkeyes (still running a mix bag of Insteon and X10), have also installed 2 more keypadlinks along with a couple of standard switchlinks and a few open close sensors to my system.

    2 levels of sensivity are manually set all else programmable
  

*by H***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2013*

I now have 4 of these. I love them.I have a mixed X10 and Insteon system in my home. These come with a mounting 'swiveling stand off' that I feel helps with the Radio Signal by giving some space between the unit and the mounting surface, especially if mounting on a metal surface. The internal antenna is not up against your metal siding as the old X10 units were.There is a variety of jumpers that set various things and all can be externally programmed by a computer EXCEPT the sensitivity setting. Default is high and you can lower it 33% if it triggers too much. One of mine is set to actually trigger at body movement 'across the street' while another is above the door and looking down to turn on light. At night it turns on a light if there is movement around my car.  As with all products go to Smarthome website (or just search) and download the PDF file that has a full set of instructions. You get a single 'quick start' sheet in the box but I like all the details. Remember to save those PDFs somewhere you can find later 'on your computer'.I use the HouseLinc (now free) program to set what it links to but once that's done you don't need the computer unless you really want to do some fancy programming with complex settings.  The battery operated PIRs are RF and not power line operated. They send all their signals to and from the PIR over the air and not the power line so they need to be in range of an access point. It is true that the more Insteon devices (the power line devices) you have the better because they retransmit the signals.  I can't encourage people enough to use one of the free computer programs to program and monitor your units, it makes life so much easier than going to each device and you don't have to dismount the device.They are easy to paint to make them stand out or hide them. I put a strip of electrical tape around the seams and stick in a small bag of 'silica gel' in a open apace under the battery, but that's just me doing over kill again.I am so very pleased with all the Insteon products. I can't wait to see how the handle the Winter.
