Insteon Hub - Which one?

[thatbeaconguy 0]

I see smarthome is running a special (50% off-$39 price) on their Smarthub.  I also see they have a Homekit version and a pending Alljoyn version. I run a fairly large Insteon network (lights, sprinklers, motion, water sensors, garage door, etc),an ELK M1 Gold Panel, and an ISY.  Now that the home is so smart, I need to dumb it down for "other" users. I also have a logitech hub and want to integrate with that.  I was thinking of using the Insteon HUB  and the apps to do this. I have a  couple questions:

 

1.  Which hub?  We are mostly a IOS home.  But I would like some flexibility for other users.  I have listened to the podcasts and have heard some issues with the HomeKit hub.

2.  Do any of them work the Insteon sprinkler controllers?

3.  Do you think there will ever be a day where the firmware and the radios will all be in a single unit?

 

Thanks in advance

I need to know if Insteon Hub works with 220 v, 50 Hz that is working in Egypt?
