That is a new switch that was certainly not available when we selected
Leviton several years ago.  Looking at the other products in the Insteon
line, many are missing.  Where is the switched outlet?  Where is the
irrigation controller?  Where are the floodlights?  And the 1000 watt switch
we used for the high wattage circuits isn't so cheap.  Neither is the relay
switch we used for all the fluorescent circuits.

Nah, it ain't there yet.

With 99.99% reliability, I'd still choose high quality X10 compatible
devices today.
