Dave-
I just discovered that Windows 10's Cortana has a "Connected Home" feature that allows Cortana to accept Voice Commands and connect to Insteon Hub via a user "Insteon Connects Account."

I was not aware of the Insteon Connects (https://www.insteon.com/connects/) web site, and it looks interesting.

So.... long story, short. Is there a hook into PH (emulating a Insteon Hub) that might allow us to utilize this Voice Command capability?

Ken,

I would think it would be doable but a search of the internet is not showing much of anything concerning a documented protocol beyond the standard
Insteon hub communication protocol. From my research, most of these services are expecting a centralized cloud app that then talks to the actual
device (it seems very few communicate directly to each persons hub).

In any event, it would take some IP eavesdropping with Wireshark of similar to determine how and what is being sent to the hub. Not saying I couldnt do
it but it would have to wait until I get the next release out.

Dave.
