Hello everyone,
I have a small sized home automation network going, which I am continuing to build upon. I am looking to add a bunch of outlets, lights, lightswitches etc. I currently have 4-6 Insteon devices, which connect via a hub, then an insteon usb modem to my PC where I have my HS3 server software. I do notice a little lag with Insteon. Usually with the app trying to get status from devices when the app is launched. Or when I go to my lights page on HS3 app I designed
I have been considering adding a z-wave USB stick and some z-wave devices. But part of my hesitation is that I already have Insteon running and wasn't sure if it would be worth it to have both technologies in my system.
So my questions are:
1. Is one technology better than another?
2. Is one technology faster in communicating back to HS3 server?
I am sure part of this is personal preference, so if you have experience with both technologies and can provide some first hand pros and cons of both technologies, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
