  • Smarthome.Com sells home technology components including those that use the X10 protocol, the most widely used home automation protocol, as well as their own line of products supporting the Insteon protocol.

  • Insteon is a newer protocol for home autmation over your house wiring that is more reliable than the traditional X10 protocol.

  • You can find good deals on X10 products at X10.com. Their website is pretty obnoxious, and I caution you not to add yourself to their mailing list, but for good prices on packages of multiple X10 devices, they are the place to go.
