Re: [mh] The Post Insteon World

What I really haven’t seen are any multi-switch devices like keypadlincs. I was never all that happy with Insteon’s industrial design, but they worked. The screen-based devices like Orro are too pricey for what they do. 

I’m hoping some open-sorcerer will cook up a home brew PLM-replacement.
