How Harmony integrates with Insteon
All Harmony hub‑based products
Harmony connects with the Insteon servers, allowing you to incorporate Insteon into your Harmony Activities. Please ensure your Insteon Hub is connected to the same Wi‑Fi network as your Harmony hub.
Harmony remotes without Harmony Hub
As Harmony and the Insteon communicate over your home Wi‑Fi network, Harmony products that do not come with a Wi‑Fi enabled Harmony Hub cannot integrate with Insteon.
