Insteon integration?

Devices & Integrations

Hi new to smartthings need help how to install insteon 2477D dimmer switch.

Insteon is a different protocol and not directly compatible with SmartThings. SmartThings works primarily with Zigbee ( using the home automation protocol, ZHA 1.2) or Zwave.

Some members have been able to set up an indirect Insteon integration using some additional hardware, but itā€™s quite a technical project doesnā€™t necessarily give you all the features.

See the following article in the community-created wiki:

I control all my light switches and on/off modules with an Insteon Hub via a custom device type in ST. Works well. Canā€™t use the motion sensors but there is a way, just need the old Insteon Hub or the smartlinc thing I believe.

Hi Michael,

For a non-programmer, can you give some step by step instructions for the custom device type you mention. As an example, I donā€™t understand how to create a custom device type - donā€™t really see any way to do that in ST.

Start with this to get an overview of the process:
