Yup here got loud at HAI booth many years ago at one EHExpo (2005) relating to HAI adopting Insteon. They didn't listen to me. I did migrate from X10 to Insteon and did manage my X10 stuff at the time with my HAI OPII panel. None the less while its still in place I have migrated to UPB and have mostly tossed my Insteon stuff.
Curious everywhere I look I see Schneider Electric - they seem to be buying everything these days. Went googling for Zigbee stuff this morning and found this (never noticed it before). Looks like the HAI Leviton stuff being sold by Schneider Electric Wiser. Googling it appears to have been started in 2010 and it looks like they were at the 2015 CES. When did Home Depot start selling this stuff?
Found a press release from way back in 2003.

Schneider Electric Wiser2/19/2003 Schneider Electric and American company Leviton have signed joint technology agreement in voice-data-image (VDI) sector. Schneider Electric’s North American division has signed a joint technology agreement with Leviton, North America’s largest manufacturer of electrical and electronic wiring devices for the residential, commercial and industrial building market. The goal is to provide simpler, more affordable information and media networking technology to millions of existing homes.
«The proliferation of wired and wireless network technology in recent years has presented homeowners with many voice, data and video communications options and products that are not easily integrated with each other into simple and manageable systems,» said Bernard Quancard, Vice-President of the VDI global activity at Schneider Electric.
«By overcoming the need to install large amounts of additional wiring, retrofitting existing homes with new structured media technology can become much more affordable,» he said.
This agreement with Leviton clearly shows Schneider Electric’s global commitment to be a major player in the VDI infrastructure market.As part of this agreement, a team consisting of members of both companies will work on developing prototype systems during the first part of 2003 using the know-how of both market leaders.
