Re: Insteon or Zwave?



Hi Robert,

I'm installing a M1G in my new (rebuilt) home now.  I have been
tinkering with it on the bench for about a month and feel the 500 rules
are going to be a bit short for HA.  When you consider that every "text
message" definition and every AND in a rule is counted a a rule - you
run out quickly.  I think I'll still be using my Homevision to
supplement the shortcomings of the M1G.

I'll be very interested to hear about your experiences with z-wave.  My
installation is relatively simple, and so I'm putting back a bunch of
my PCS dimmers and using Lamplincs for table lamps.  Being on my own
power company transformer I always enjoyed 99+% reliability with x10.

The built-in temp sensors in the M1 keypads are a nice touch....too bad
the keypads can't talk as well.  All in all the M1G looks like a
winner.
