I&#039;m going to try using INSTEON for lighting and other automation. I will buy a few items in advance of the LMCE install to see how they work. If they&#039;re acceptable, I can buy them bit-by-bit until I&#039;ve replaced the whole house. If not, I&#039;ll either limit them to the main things I want LMCE to control, or find some other alternative like Z-Wave lighting control.<br /> <br /> == INSTEON Switch Differences ==<br /> * &quot;Relay&quot; = switch only<br /> * &quot;Dimmer&quot; = duh<br /> <br /> * ICON<br /> ** $11 cheaper<br /> ** Lower wattage (300W dimmer or 10A/400W switch)<br /> ** Fewer INSTEON links (30 vs. 417)<br /> * SwitchLinc<br /> ** $46<br /> ** 600W dimmer or 15A/480W switch<br /> * ToggleLinc<br /> ** Same as SwitchLinc, but toggle switch, not rocker<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> * [http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/switch_comparechart.pdf Smarthome&#039;s Insteon Switch Comparison Chart (pdf)]</div>
