About Us↓

What is InstaHub and its mission?

The center for instant automation. We simplify automation with elegant “snap-on” solutions to make you money and reduce waste.

What drives InstaHub's founders?

Every year in the US, $30 billion of electricity is wasted on unused lighting in empty rooms. Installing traditional motion sensors would help, but setting it up requires time consuming and expensive renovations. Imagine paying an electrician $100 to install a low-cost $30 motion sensor per light switch.

How will InstaHub solve the problem?

InstaHub’s "snap-on" motion sensor device installs easily over light switches, providing instant lighting automation with NO rewiring or renovation required. Anyone can do it!

With InstaHub, a facility manager will save thousands of dollars per building on electricity and installation while offsetting tons of CO2 emissions every year, all without the overhead of replacing existing lighting infrastructure. Improving your bottom-line, your workplace, and the environment shouldn’t be difficult.

If it’s easy to install InstaHub’s switch adapter, is it secure?

Yes! InstaHub installs with 2 available options:

• Screws
• Commercial-grade adhesives (30lb force hold)
  

Will InstaHub’s motion sensor device work on all light switches?

Almost all, we can automate ~90% of the light switches in the US. Our product adapts to either of these light switches (e.g. toggle or rocker).

What kind of sensors does the “snap-on” device consist of?

Radar sensor with an elite algorithm to minimize false negatives/positives.

Why are light switch installations so costly?

“Allowing an hour plus a little time for setup/cleanup. Allowance for material, safety and tools.” $170.00 per switch

• Circuit trace and Lockout/Tagout
• Remove and replace switches
• Reenergize and test
• Material – new plate, wirenuts.
  
• Price would normally go down the more units you are replacing. Things like working hours, access to the work area and electric closets factor in.
  Currently, InstaHub can adapt to the single light switch panels, but will have the multi-switch panel versions out later. InstaHub devices is small enough to adapt to the multi-switch panels.

What All Does the InstaHub DataLogger record?

InstaHub's DataLogger records Temperature, Humidity, Lighting Levels & Space Occupancy over a period of time

How Do I Access the Information Collected by the DataLogger?

You can access the information using the Datalogger Dashboard. You can download or email your data in an excel sheet format.

How much does automating lights traditionally cost?

Occupancy sensors for commercial buildings cost anywhere from $30-$130, with electrician installation fees of $50-$150. Traditionally, payback periods on these sensors are 1-5 years, and a study done on a university campus that installed wired occupancy sensors to control lighting in 200 rooms in 10 buildings provided an annual cost savings of about $14,000 with a simple payback of 5 years.

How will InstaHub’s “snap-on” occupancy sensor save me money?

Using high quality materials and a reliable manufacturing process, we have designed a sleek and affordable product that installs without the requirement of expensive installation. By automatically turning off the lights when someone forgets to, our snap-on motion sensor saves between $30-$450 per room every year depending on the room type.

What kind of sensors does the “snap-on” device consist of?

Radar sensor with an elite algorithm to minimize false negatives/positives.

What are the Advantages of Datalogging?

The advantages of datalogging include:

• Data Logging can be used in remote or dangerous situations.
• Data logging can be carried out 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.
• Time intervals for collecting data can be very frequent and regular, for example, hundreds of measurements per second.
• Can be set up to start at a time in the future.
• No need to have a person present.
• Data logging is often more accurate because there is no likelihood of human error.
