Re: Smarthome Insteon Translator

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

That reads more like it sits on the powerline and translates X10 codes that
its been programmed for rather than something that replaces a TW523. I guess
the only thing that matters is whether it allows you to do what you want.

I wonder what it does on reception of an Insteon command. Does it translate
it to X-10 so your JDS controller will 'hear' it?
