Hub Installation
After you have successfully created an account, the mobile application will begin the installation wizard for the Hub.
The Hub is the central control point for the items in the home system. The Hub sends and received communication
from the cloud service as well as acts as the gateway through which the mobile applications can send and receive
communication from the devices in the home.
If during this process you have any problems please see Troubleshooting section for Hub Setup.

Troubleshooting
Account Troubleshooting
Unable to Create Account
•Verify that the mobile device has an external connection to the internet, try going to a website through the
mobile device’s browser.
•Verify that the email is properly formatted ([e-mail]).
Account Already Exists
•Verify that you are using the correct password; if unsure try the Forgot Password option.
Hub Setup Troubleshooting
The following is a list of the various screens that are displayed if there are any problems during the Hub Setup
Wizard. If you are unable to resolve your issue after reviewing these solutions, please send an email to
[e-mail] and be sure to include your INSTEON Hub ID (located on the bottom of the Hub) and your
username and password.
Not Connected to Wi-Fi
oMake sure the mobile device has an external internet connection. An easy way to verify that would
be to try a common website from the mobile device’s internet browser such as www.google.com.
oMake sure that the mobile device is associated to a WiFi network. You may have turned off wireless
network association. Go to the settings section for your mobile device and allow the mobile device to
connect to your local WiFi.
oMake sure “Airplane Mode” is turned off for the mobile device.
oCheck to make sure the router is able to make an external connection. If you have a computer on the
network, check to see if you can go to a common website through the computer’s browser.
Can’t Find Hub
oMake sure that you have properly connected the Hub to the router and that the Hub is powered.
oMake sure your mobile device is associated to the same local network that the Hub is physically
connected to. There are some home networks that have multiple SSID’s that would prevent the
application from detecting the Hub if they were on different networks.
oThe proper start-up sequence for the Hub is to plug the Ethernet cable to both router and Hub THEN
apply power to the Hub.
oVerify proper LED state on the rear of the Hub. There are 2 LEDs on the rear of the Hub that are
located where the Ethernet cable is plugged in. Normal operation is solid green and blinking amber.
If properly connected and the LEDs are both flashing in unison then there might be an issue with the
Hub itself.
oAttempt to find the Hub outside of the mobile application. Point a browser to
https://www.connect.insteon.com/getinfo.asp

Page 18 of 23 Rev: 12/27/2012 12:12 PM
The web browser should show the Hub located at the URL above. Clicking on the IP address
should access the Hub.
NOTE: There may be multiple entries, locate the correct Hub by INSTEON ID, printed on
the Hub
oVerify that the Hub was given an IP address:
On the bottom of the Hub you will find the MAC Address for the Hub. This MAC Address
should be in the DHCP list for the router.
If there is an IP address, go to that IP address in the browser.
If the MAC Address is not on the list, the router never assigned an IP address to that device.
•Cycle Power to the Hub
•Try another Ethernet cable
•Try another Port on the Router
•Verify the LED behavior on the Hub
Remote Access Setup Failed
The mobile app was unable to setup your Hub for remote access. When the mobile application has detected that a
Hub is found on the network the application attempts to do the following:
•Set the Port on the Hub to 25105 (this is the starting port, if this port is already in use, the application
increments the port number by 1).
•Set the DHCP to ON – Enable
•Create a rule on the router to enable port 25105 to route inbound traffic. This is done through UPnP
(Universal Plug n Play – network protocol that allows for devices that have UPnP enabled to configure port
forward rules).
If the app displays this screen, it means that the UPnP rule has failed to be created. Please refer to the following:
•In the rare instances where remote access is not desired (ie. security concerns) then it’s OK to select Skip
and continue. You will be able to receive alerts and notifications but will be unable to access the Hub while
outside of the Local Area Network.
•Gather the following information:
oRouter Brand
oRouter Model
With the above information, visit http://www.portforward.com and enter the router brand and model into the
search. On the returned page will be a hyperlink that says “Default Guide”, click this.
Follow the steps to:
1. Enable UPnP
2. Create a Port Forward Rule
When finished, return to the Remote Access Failed screen and select Try Again.
Factory Reset
If you have already set up the Hub in the app, you must first delete your account prior to factory resetting the Hub. If
you have added any INSTEON devices to the app, it is strongly recommended that you factory reset those devices
prior to deleting your account and factory resetting the Hub.
Delete Account
1) Go to the Edit Settings page by tapping the settings button and selecting Edit Settings

Page 19 of 23 Rev: 12/27/2012 12:12 PM
2) Select Account
3) At the bottom of the page is a button Delete Account. Tap button to delete your account (this cannot be undone)
Factory Reset Hub
1) Remove power from INSTEON Hub
2) Press and hold INSTEON Hub set button. Do not let go.
3) While continuing to press and hold the set button re-apply power to INSTEON Hub
INSTEON Hub will begin to emit a long beep
LED will turn red
4) After beep stops, release INSTEON Hub set button
After a few seconds, INSTEON Hub will double-beep
LED will turn blue
