Starting over

[Pat <pat@xxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't seen much activity in this group lately, so I thought I
would ask a question.

After decades of using X-10, I want to start over with something more
modern.  Insteon is one possibility.  Based on the emails I received
from SmartHome, you would think they are the only ones around.
However, I know there are devices based on Zigbee, Z-wave, etc.  Who
sells devices based on those standards?  Since X-10 lasted over 3
decades for me, I would like something that will be around for a
while.  Either RF based or combo powerline/RF will be considered.  Is
there something just around the corner I should wait for?  My X-10
stuff is still working as of right now thanks to an XTB box added a
few years ago, but it is getting harder to find new stuff that
supports X-10.  For example, SmartHome's LED light bulbs with built in
Insteon seem like a good idea and I doubt X-10 versions will be
available.  Failures are becoming more common, too.  A old yellowed
Radio Shack labeled "universal interface" just failed yesterday.

So, what would you pick if you were starting over with automation
today?

Thanks,
Pat
