If you are upgrading from our first generation Insteon Hub 1 (2242-222) to Insteon Hub 2 (2245-222), several steps are required to ensure that your Insteon network is optimally configured after your transition.
Note: Avoid all the steps below and consider purchasing a Hub 1 to Hub 2 Migration Service:
Here is a summary of what you'll need to do if you are manually migrating from Hub 1 to Hub 2. The full instructions on how to do each step is covered further down the page.
On your old Insteon Hub
Record your home's setup
Delete all Scenes
Delete all Devices
Delete your Account
Important: Failing to delete devices from the older hub will degrade system performance (excess network traffic, delays in control, and reduced battery life for sensors).
On your new Insteon Hub
Create an Insteon Account
Add your Devices
Create Rooms, Scenes, Schedules, etc.
Preparing your old Hub
Your Insteon account stores your home's schedules, rooms and overall house organization. As this information will be deleted when you delete your account, it is strongly suggested that you record this information prior to deleting your account.
From Settings, you can record:
The names of your devices. If you have many Insteon devices or devices that are difficult to reach like a Ceiling Fan Controller, consider also recording the device's Insteon ID from that device's settings.
The names and constituents of your scenes
The names of your rooms
The names, times and constituents of your schedules
Delete all Scenes
Before you can delete devices from your account, you must first remove devices that are in use with any scenes. Follow these steps to delete your devices from a scene. You must repeat this step for all scenes.
Step 1
Navigate to Settings and tap Scenes
Step 2
Tap a Scene
Step 3
Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Scene
Step 4
Tap Yes
The Insteon App will delete the scene and perform housekeeping with the affected devices.
Delete your Devices
To prevent degraded network performance after you disconnect your old Insteon Hub, you must delete all devices. Alternatively, you can perform a factory reset on all of your devices and start anew with your new Insteon Hub.
Step 1
From Settings, tap Devices
Step 2
Tap a Device
Step 3
Scroll to the bottom and, if desired, record the Insteon ID. When ready, tap Delete Device.
Delete your Account

Confirm that you want to delete the account.
Deleting your account cannot be undone and will erase your home from Insteon Connect.
