Hi, new to HS. I think I'm going to be running HS4 on either a controller or possibly a server. I'm trying to pick a lighting/outlet system to standardize on. I will probably be running maybe 20-30 devices over time - a combination of dimmers, on/off lights, outlets. I was thinking either insteon or z-wave. I'm willing to pay up a little bit for reliability/quality. A few questions
- I want reliability and limited delay when changing multiple lights at once - do the insteon switches have any noticeable delay when changing multiple lights at the same time?
- Since insteon is both radio and powerline this seems more robust than Z-wave? And also better with reporting status back to the controller?
- On the negative side I've read that the Insteon modem/PM has been failing pretty regularly? Anyone having this issue?
- Are there any other lighting systems you'd consider that I haven't mentioned?
