I'm looking for suggestions on how to move forward in a "post Insteon" world. My own environment is a Raspberry Pi connected to a PowerLinc 2413U running Misterhouse. The end devices are a mix of Insteon with X10 controllers. I "translate" X10 signals to Insteon commands within MH. The PLM and Raspberry PI are less than a year old. I had plans to purchase a backup PLM, but it didn't happen. I see now it's no longer an option. I would like to migrate from Insteon (and maybe X10) to something that is more modern; keeping MH on the Pi as the main "server". My MH programming has more than 20 years of effort. I have read that MH is able to utilize technologies other than X10 and Insteon. What direction are you folks leaning towards that is able to be controlled with MH and is still in business? Please include hardware requirements for each suggested protocol so I can begin working on a budget. If your suggestion is also able to run Insteon devices, all the better. I don't expect that to be the case since the Insteon protocol was proprietary. The optimum situation would be for me to first purchase whatever controller is needed for the new protocol (the device that would eventually replace the Insteon PLM), get it talking to MH. I'd like to think that MH would be able to talk to both PLMs. Then I'd start purchasing end devices that would replace my existing Insteon end devices. Your suggestions would be very welcome.
