New Insteon Modules maybe dropping X10 Support

(1/5) > >>

Brian H:
The latest Insteon SwitchLinc Relay sales page says X10 Support NA and a user in their forums, has been unable to add an X10 address to their new ones.

Not good. I was planning on slowly migrating to Insteon. Looks like I'll have to speed things up.
Makes sense since the Smarthome X10 modules have disappeared from their site in the last few weeks.

Brian H:
Smartlabs recently started shipping their Insteon Modules with the I2CS improved Insteon protocol.
My thoughts are X10 support got in the way or they ran out of room in the programming area of the microcontroller to support it.

Oh CR*P! That not good.

You might look at the Leviton DHC line, which is X10 compatible.  That is what I installed here, and it has been virtually flawless over the last 8 years.  The 600W dimmer switch is the HCM06-SW, and the 10A relay switch is the HCS10-1SW.
