Re: Leviton Intellisense Vs Others

Thanks to all of you for the info.

This is my read so far....(a GENERALIZATION), tell me if I have it right.
X-10 or X-10 based items can and do work, but there MAY BE occasions where
they aren't always super reliable.

Insteon and UPB looks promising, however Insteon is so new that there are
relatively few devices available.  So, UPB now gets a closer look.

Will all manufacturers of UPB devices function with each other (are they at
least supposed to?)?  How does HAI stuff stack up to other UPB manufactures?
