Mike,

Thanks. The fact that you're an experienced X-10 user adds weight to your
views on Insteon. If they can keep the prices low and expand the product
list to include sensors, remotes, etc. I think Insteon may capture the
market.

What were the reliability issues you had with Z-Wave? I haven't seen many
positive reports from non-dealers.
