Insteon was one I almost did business with. They were who my Uncle went with long before "connected" was a thing. Their method was pretty cool for the day.

These days it isn't as appealing as the conglomeration with Z-wave, Zigbee and Thread. There is much greater flexibility with the other options so I'm not really surprised to hear they didn't make it. What surprises me is that they just "disappeared". I was able to browse their website still, but I don't have any devices so I'm unaffected.

I will say though, this is why I would really rather something that is decentralized like Thread where we don't have to have a supporting "hub" to control. Even still I am currently running two hubs in my house for various connections to HomeKit.
