Mark:
Do you know how the hub update process works? Does the hub periodically poll their server for it, or only check at boot? I'd imagine that there is an always-open connection between the server and hub for the cloud services to work without any router config. Is it somehow pushed down thru this? My hub that didn't get the firmware update has never been connected to an account. so maybe that's why it didn't get the update.

Ok guys I'm back up with Insteon
Still didn't receive the "update" from Insteon, but found that you can force the Insteon hub back to a previous version (in my case, version 1004, but it's not selectable) Follow the following steps:
Restore Insteon Hub Firmware
•Disconnect Insteon Hub from power
•Press and hold set button on the rear of Insteon Hub while reconnecting power
•The moment Insteon Hub begins to beep, release the set button
•Tap the set button five times. Insteon Hub will beep rapidly and begin the firmware restore process.
•After three minutes, disconnect Insteon Hub from power. Wait 10 seconds and then reconnect power.
•Insteon Hub will automatically re-update its firmware at 2AM. You can manually update firmware from the Insteon app by tapping Update Hub from Edit House in Settings.
Now, I need to figure out how to prevent the hub from trying to update itself. If I can do that, I'm back in business.

So it worked. I assume you did this last night before 2am and it was up this am?
Here is the KB article that explains it

I am monitoring my network to see where the update comes from, but I believe blocking *.insteon.com will do it. That will most likely break the Insteon app from working, but for me that's not a big deal compared to losing HS functionality.

If you DO reset, and go back to 1004, DON'T try to manually update, or even see if updates are available within the app. You will automatically get updated to 1006, with no option of 1005. And the torture will begin again :-)
