And as a citizen of the U.S as well as a long time Insteon user, I would like to apologize ahead of time to our friends in Europe, Austrailia and New Zealand... And I pray for a worldwide ISY solution to come your way soon...

Don't apologize...The US customers did all of the Beta Testing....They should be thanking US! B)

I have been using Insteon since Feb. 2006, I used to have a lot of problems with it but now it seems to work really well. I did have to replace a tact switch on a remote but that has been the only problem I have had with any of the newer Insteon hardware.

I hope the US gets some of those micro inlinelincs. Any guesses as to what the big box on the left is? New internet gateway? I guess they will be using 868MHz band in Europe?

ISY would work fine in Europe provided with the proper wall wart. The question is if the "internet gateway" they advertise is a compatible PLM.
