    Green, wet behind the ears, newbie, call it what you want

    Although I HAVE some of this stuff already bought and installed, I view myself as someone who simply jumped in with both feet...now I'm trying to make sure I can swim...lol. I'm still in the wading phase trying to see which protocol(S) I can use and how to control them best. The thing I'm...

    Green, wet behind the ears, newbie, call it what you want

    Okay, here's what I've done so far...basic mind you....lol. - I have two access points and I've made sure they are on two separate phases so I have both covered. - I have replaced my bathroom light switch with an ICON Dimmer switch, set the dimmer level to about 40% and then I linked a silver...

    Green, wet behind the ears, newbie, call it what you want

    I'm going to skip the SH/Insteon questions and take a step back since the person at SH who told me he wanted to discuss my concerns in an email has never replied again. I feel like an idiot. I was a programmer for over ten years, now moved into management, and I consider myself a DIY techy...

    More INSTEON quality control issues!

    My BIGGEST concern after reading this thread, is the quality control with SH. No, I am not a former poster of any kind. I'm 100% new to this stuff, I just don't understand how I could have gotten the wrong product if they are DOING quality control checks. As for the 99ISYi, I did buy one of...

    More INSTEON quality control issues!

    It's been a LOOOOONG time since anyone replied regarding Insteon. I've sat here this afternoon reading through all 16 pages learning more about SH's history and problems regarding their products. I've just recently jumped into the HA game and started out buying a handful of Insteon...
