That may be true, but Zwave's lack of 1000W dimmers, decora keypads,
I/O modules (equiv of powerflash and universal), hardwired modules,
etc, are GLARING omissions.

As I implied in my first post in this thread, I would be able to
replace my current whole-house X10 setup with UPB, but not Zwave.
Insteon's compatibility with X10 gives you access to the largest set of
products available, so that route would not lead you into any brick
walls either.

If the Zwave product line fills out quite a bit, I'm sure it will be a
fine choice. I have nothing against the idea or the technology, and
only a slight apprehension about its longevity.
