I wouldn’t characterize Insteon as this in the same way as most Alexa controlled WiFi stuff. My Insteon devices continue to work fine because I have the USB controller that works through HomeSeer completely offline and didn’t utilize their Internet services. Unfortunately, it is a proprietary protocol that did not get licensed broadly the way zwave has. While the communications were reliable and there was an enthusiastic base, they probably couldn’t compete against the cheap Internet of shit being pumped out to the Alexa crowd.
