Insteon refugee incoming, have a few questions about the Hubitat life

Maybe your gear is older than mine, or it’s the 2-wire stuff that does seem to fail faster. I’m using an integration that @cwwilson08 wrote and have been for over a year. It’s one of the most solid integrations I have.

If you don’t mind having an extra RPi, running two simple applications (or a Mac, or Docker containers, etc.), then you can run your existing stuff locally. You’re only ever going to need a connection to add devices. Otherwise it does need a connection to the cloud at all, which frankly is where I experienced most of my issues with Insteon before. Now I don’t even really think about the fact that I still have some Insteon devices, because it never gives me any trouble.
