There's no price given in the thread but it will likely cause a lot of
interest.

Interesting, I haven't read the entire thread yet (later) but this
looks interesting. I hope I can 'link' (I use that term loosely
not in the strict Insteon sense) it Mr. House. I'm not happy to
have to purchase another PLM.

The originator of the thread has added some pictures. Here's a link to the
first...

Unless this thing costs a fortune I think it will be hugely popular.

The manufacturer has joined the thread so the details should be forthcoming.

This is looking even cooler, can't wait for the price. I'll have to
build a cutom bezel (if I get one). I also want to get my hands on
the First Alert Insteon fire alarms but I haven't seen them yet.

I still think Insteon is going to be top dog but I think Z-Wave is
going to give it a good run for it's money and be very close.

I'm in the middle of doing research for an HA presentation and it's
amazing just how many systems still rely on X10 though I did find one
high end ssystem that used UPB (Omni?).

What's wrong with the standard bezel? (It is upside down in the pics.) If I
were engineering it, it would also work as a programmable IR gateway.

Z-Wave had quite a head start but hasn't really made much headway in 5
years, I think the Lutron patent suit will be a major problem for them.
One-way comms won't cut it for "new" technology.

I argued here that UPB was making a mistake pricing UPB so high when even
they claimed it only added $3-4 to the cost of a switch.
