| Jul 24, 2010 at 19:12 | comment | added | gregmac | I'd agree, btw - X10 is really pretty crappy. Insteon is much more reliable, but fails in the programming department. I haven't tried yet, but the Simply Automated UPB stuff looks very nice: there are a ton of combinations of keypads/rockers, and although they are only PC-based programming, the software and flexibility is pretty amazing (you can customize 1-press, 2-press, and 3-press, as well as hold, for every single button). | |
| Jul 24, 2010 at 1:20 | comment | added | Michael Kohne | I can say from experience with X10 that while it's cheap enough, it can be a BIG pain in the neck. With both plug-in modules and wired in stuff, I've found that I can NOT depend on an X10 switch to reliably turn something on or off. They tend to work most of the time, but fail to work at the most annoying moments. | |
