So for right now, what we have is a PLC device that can be RF controlled by a split-phase, fancy RR501 OR by X10 PLC signal. SHEESH!
Until all the Insteon devices can rebroadcast commands via RF netting, what is everyone getting excited about? For all the folks that are jumping on this bandwagon, it looks like you're going to have to change out any early devices for later ones that will rebroadcast.
Seems like SH is just repackaging what's already available. It's not new technology. Convince me that I need to change.

A better comparison of the INSTEON PLC devices would be with UPB. As an added bonus, the INSTEON devices include X10 backwards compatibility.<O</O

To clear up an important misconception: Insteon devices, by default, do not have an X10 address and do not transmit or acknowledge X10 commands. X10 primary and scene addresses can be added or removed by the user if desired.
Insteon devices do suck X10 signals though, just like any other 2-way X10 device would.
