Special Happy Hour Anniversary Webinar on July 18
On this special occasion, our next webinar will be a “Happy Hour with Insteon” where we encourage you to grab your favorite beverage and celebrate with us. We have some special Insteon-inspired drink recipes at the end of the email, if you’re looking for something new.
We have some fun things planned on top of the standard updates and Q&A. After registering for the webinar, we encourage you to submit a “Bright Idea” (using Insteon in unique and clever ways) here. If we ask you to share your Bright Idea live on the webinar, we have a little thank you gift for you.
Happy Hour with Insteon will take place on July 18, 2024, at 3pm PDT.
Sending Director Notifications as SMS Texts
Unfortunately, the current process we provided customers on how to receive Director notifications as SMS texts will cease to function by the end of this month. We are looking at other options to provide this service and I apologize for the inconvenience.
