Please log in for more thread options the midst of converting almost all of my X10 stuff to Insteon. The setup is a bit tricky and unless they develop a SIMPLE software interface for it I think it will be their downfall as the average consumer won't bother dealing with it. (How I long for the easy days of code wheels!) I've done so much switch tapping this weekend I feel like a woodpecker! That being said, I don't know if Zwave or the others are any easier. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

At present I'm researching communicating (hard-wired) swimming pool controllers since the unit on the wall is shot. -- Regards, Robert L Bass =============================>

Please log in for more thread options Thanks for the heads up on that, I think it may be worth a try. I've
been playing with PowerHome but until I get my arms around it, the tap-tap method is still my SOP. BTW, re: quality issues. So far I've found 2 defects among the 27 Insteon devices I've installed to date. One is a bad V2 Wall Dimmer that won't remember it's ramp rate or dim settings and the other is a bad Keypad Linc that won't control anything other than it's native load. > http://www.smarthome.com/2416.html
