Good ... but unable to view scene members. Love the devices displayed in a list. The ability to see the status of each device is perfect. What would be great is On/Off control for each device right on the list screen. Press and hold to brighten/dim ... just like the actual Insteon switch. Control buttons on right of list and status on left as part of icon. Keep up the good work.

Unable to use. Requires a login just to use the app. Login to where? I downloaded this to control a local device (Insteon hub), no external login verification should be required. Uninstalled.

Cannot use to configure, only activate or deactivate devices, which reduces it's usefulness to me, but per the developer reply, it is out of their control.
