Insteon devices can be controlled by several automation controllers in our Top 50 list including: Elk M1 Gold, Life/Ware Media Servers, Cortexa Controllers, and HomeSeer Controllers .

Insteon lighting devices have been the choice for many new homes or major remodels where the Electrical Contractor can install all the wired-in devices and the homeowner or selected Custom Integrator is installing the balance of the automation system. Note Insteon devices can be 2-3 times less costly than similar devices from whole-house automation companies, but come with a competitive 2 year warranty and a complete array of color selections.
