Does iLinc Pro show all Insteon Device Feedback Status?

Does iLinc Pro show all Insteon Device(s) Feedback Status? eg on/off/0-100%/dim/bright?
Note: Not even the Smarthome Smartlinc shows the device feedback status.

Yes. iLinc reports the current status of the Insteon Device including On, Off, 0%-100% when you select the Insteon Module from the device list.

From this same page in iLinc you can also command the device by dragging the slider (for Insteon dimmers) to adjust the dim level. Note: The command to dim the Insteon module is only sent out when you release your finger from the slider.

For Insteon toggle switches, iLinc gives you a On/Off switch that you can touch to turn the Insteon device on or off. This will also show the current state of the Insteon Module.

The current state of X10 is a little different. Currently iLinc only supports sending X10 commands. Only some X10 modules will report their status when asked. iLinc currently does not support retrieving status for these X10 modules.

Even though you don't support Triggerlinc or IR motion. What I could do is to use Triggerlinc or IR motion to turn on a lamp and it should be read back correctly as a feedback status? Am I correct?

[AdminWes]

You are correct! When you select the device from the Module list in iLinc it will report back the state of the Insteon device. In this case it will show your lamp as On. At this point you could turn it off or dim it to a different level (if the Insteon device supported dimming).

WOW - A person can create a home monitoring system.
iLinc Pro has device feedback that Smarthome's Smartlinc does not have - amazing.
In their manual, they tell the Smartlinc user to use a IP camera to check for a status or feedback.
