Released in 2003, this small plug in module bridges (connects) the Insteon wireless network with the ONELINK wireless network communications. For me, this was a great find, since I had already bought into Insteon back in 2008, and ONELINK back in 2010. This product works, and works well, alerting your smartphone to any smoke or CO Detector alerts, even when you're not at home. Video footage of the configuration shown below, with an actual smoke test and phone alert!
This exciting new capability gives me faith more cool stuff is coming, and that I made the right choice when going with Insteon, back in 2008. This family of products are meeting my growing needs nicely.
