I was thinking about buying some insteon devices (simply because it looks much more appealing than zwave) and I just wanted to make sure it was supported before I went buying hardware. I guess I can always return the hardware if performance isn't up to my expectations. Ideally, I would like to be able to control a few thermostats and light switches remotely. Thanks for the help.

I saw that thread, but it still isn't clear to me if setup is as easy as with zwave, if this driver is included with linuxmce by default and how well the driver works. I am not very familiar with these home automation technologies, so all I know is what I have seen done with zwave in the demo video. Is all of this possible with insteon on linuxmce (ie controlling lights and themostat)?

So there are absolutely no workarounds? Even if I were to use some other service (such as at&t uverse), I would need a set-top box and tuner card for each TV that I wanted to run simultaneously?

Say I were to have multiple cable TVs and I wanted to be able to watch different channels on different ones simultaneously. Is this possible by simply attaching a thin client to each tv? It doesn't seem possible to me, so if it isn't, what would be necessary to be able to have different channels playing on different tvs?

I've heard that LinuxMCE now supports insteon. Is this support in the current beta release? If so, is functionality and setup the same as if you were using zwave? Thanks.
