I know it doesn't speak to the original complaint about the large number of devices being slow, but I wanted to respond to the Home settings kit - FWIW my first purchase was a Homesettings lamp module and a GE On/off switch. I later added some homesettings dimmers (2) and 2 more lamp modules from the kit, but haven't used the ha07 just yet., but all work very quickly (in the range of instantly) when using a Logitech 890. My 890 has died a horrible death very prematurely (dang you logitech!), so I'm working on rebuilding my network using the ha07 and hopefully when I get some money I'll be able to get some software and a usb stick. I did briefly try the ha07 and noticed performance with dimming wasn't as fast, so I would be very interested to see what the various response times are with controllers themselves.
