Or http://store.youautomateit.com/zwxtozin.html
where we find out that

1) it was engineered by Boca Devices ( www.bocadevices.con leads to a PLESK
default page.

Picture here

www.bocadevices.com


2) does not route x-10 so is apparently an "either-or" proposition (either
X-10 or Z-wave) unless your controller supports more than one TW523

each protocol.

3) costs $160 US !
