Ah they probably just didn't want MikeB, Sloop, and Digger filling up their server(linc)... :angry: :lol:

I locked it as it was turning ugly. If this thread turns ugly, I'll do the same. Hopefully we can discuss TECHNICAL details in a polite way within the theme of CocoonTech!

I think that in order to remain objective and settle this once and for all, we're going to need to get a picture of Sloop's wife and have a poll. :angry:
Only kidding! hahaha That was an interesting thread, even though it does get a little tiresome listening to the non-stop complaints. I guess I'd be pretty pissed as well if I spent thousands and didn't get the results I was looking for.
Personally, I'm happy with Insteon so far, except for the PLC. I've had problems with it from day one, and even got a second one in case the first was faulty. The bottom line is that it is not reliable and is not fully windows compatible.
Admittedly, I'm still a relative noob when it comes to Insteon. All I have so far is a couple of Lamplincs, a couple of Appliancelincs, a timer switchlinc, a high wattage dimmer switchlinc, a couple of access points (recently upgraded from signalincs), and a controlinc. I'm just waiting for my Remotelinc. I'm looking forward to seeing what other products are in the works and I'm hoping that SmartLabs gets their act together with the PLC, though I've more or less made up my mind to buy an ISY99i Pro and a PLM.

If smarthome would just make the situation right certain people that have had issues then none of this would be happening.
Personally, I have had a few minor failures with a couple of components and SH was good about resolving the issues (all in warranty of course).
I have hit the breaks with Insteon overall just because other companies are now involved and there is more competition overall. I also want things to just work. I troubleshoot CCTV, access control, and other security related products all day long. I don't want to do it at home with HA.

Hmm. If you lock this one, then we could start a new one titled "Why was the thread about Insteon being locked, locked"

Hmmmm, I probably should have also said if the thread just gets to silly, I'll lock it as well!
