One of the factors slowing acceptance of INSTEON has been the cost and
tardiness to market of INSTEON  RF solutions. The EZX10RF allows users of
X-10 RF technology to migrate the powerline signaling to wholly INSTEON
(not hybrid X-10+ INSTEON) technology while retaining the investment in
X-10 RF hardware and setup.

This is one of a growing number of hardware translators of X-10 technology
to other lighting protocols. As I noted in a recent post , a X-10 powerline
to UPB is also available.
