Folks,
As my HA grows, I would like to consider a new protocol. However, I am very confused as to which way to go... Insteon or Zwave. I recently met an individual who boasts about Insteon and it's ability to report status with it's high level of reliability - though he didn't run it through HS. I was thinking on moving to zwave but get discouraged when I keep reading about numerous issues reported here. Though, perhaps this is much less now - I don't want to have to rescan my network numerous times to ensure relilability... I'm all about set and forget. Can someone support a direction given these factors:
reliability - best controller to use
cost
slection of switches/devices
issues with metal receptical boxes
Thanks
Robert
