Insteon was supposed to be the panacea, but it is starting to show its
warts.

Remember, X10 worked great 30 years ago in a clean environment.  Its main
problem today is the multiplicity of signal suckers, which can be addressed
with filters and a more powerful transmitter.

Insteon was supposed to cohabitate with X10, but reports indicate installing
more than a few Insteon devices kills X10 communication.  That's a sleazy
way to force out the competition.
