Legrand Adorne "wireless" switches - what technology?

[CT1]

Does anyone know if the Adorne switches are z-wave? Insteon? Proprietary? The manual talks about house codes, groups numbers and scenes, but says nothing about the technology it uses...

These are nice looking switches and I'd like to use them, but not if they aren't controllable.

(can't post links yet, sorry)


Thanks!

I believe there were zigbee if I'm not mistaken.

Hmm looks promising. Seems to be proprietary 900MHz. Lowes, Home Depot (online) and Menards (online) are carrying some of the product line.

Wireless Dimmers starting at $70, wireless switches starting at $47, and wireless outlets starting at $30.

They have some controllers that may be compatible:

BUT...Looking at the product comparison (http://www.legrand.us/~/media/B123DFA2E957484A84FD150846A2D712.ashx) they are distinguishing "Multi-Location Wireless" from "Whole-House Wireless" which means they are pulling a Lutron and going to charge more for the ability to use the devices in an automated system. Those devices are also "coming soon" and who knows whether the big box stores will carry them. And just when I thought something exciting and reasonably priced had arrived.

I am also very interested in the look of the Adorne switches-- but I am planning an Insteon (new build) installation. Have these 'whole house wireless' devices become available since the OP? Can someone educate me a bit on how I might bridge these devices so they can control and be controlled by an insteon system, specifically a UD ISY device.
