I see.

In that case, that's no security, you can listen on the insteon network
via powerline or RF and snoop all the IDs

So, pre I2CS, devices accepted commands before being linked. Do you know
why I2CS added this linking requirement, if it can be done remotely, and
adds no security at all?

I don't know if you can buy an off the shelf Insteon RF
sniffer/injector, but you can probably make one pretty easily. Then, all
you have to do is drive around until you see insteon signals, listen fo
IDs, blast an on command to all of them until the garage door hopefully
opens?

PS: I use an out of band command to power off my garage doors when I'm
not at home, but I'm sure most people, don't.
