We invented and introduced home automation more than 30 years ago. That is why the technology used in the majority of home automation systems worldwide, including Insteon, is named after us - X10 technology. Over the years, X10 has matured as a technology and many smaller companies have come along trying to copy us. Brands such as Insteon actually use our technology to make similar products. Nearly everything Insteon makes is X10 compatible. The reason they do this is because more than 10,000,000 homes already use our technology. In order to be relevant in the world of home automation, Insteon needed our technology. The fact is, Insteon sprung up around the time that we started selling online at X10.com. Since we were able to sell our products online at factory direct prices, Smarthome, which also sells our products, figured they would need something to compete. So using our technology, they invented Insteon. But even so, Insteon pricing doesn't even come close to X10! Let's look at what it would cost, just for the sake of argument, to outfit a room, then your entire home with Insteon versus what it would cost with X10. Say you want to add a dimmer switch, two controlled outlets, three lamp modules and a handheld remote in a room. With Insteon, this is going to cost you $292.93. With us, just $110.97. Not even close! Setting up an Insteon home automation system that encompasses your entire house can be an even more expensive journey to embark on. With 25 controlled outlets, 10 lamps to control and dim, a remote-controlled radio and fan, six dimmer switches and three wireless remotes (just an example), it's going to cost you $1941.54 with Insteon - almost two thousand dollars! With X10, you'll pay just $737.54. That's a savings of $1204! Why pay more for a technology that does not offer any additional benefits? |

When it comes down to it, we are the home automation pioneers and we aren't going anywhere. With more than 30 years of experience, we offer the widest range of products, the best customer support and without a doubt the best prices! Insteon, on the other hand, is newer. Having only been around since the 1990s, expect "growing pains" from this more expensive version of home technology. Many people wonder how we can offer products that do the exact same thing for such a dramatically lower price. The answer is simple: you are getting it factory direct from X10. We design it, manufacture it, sell it, ship it and provide all the technical support you need ourselves! There's a reason that companies such Philips, IBM, RCA, GE, Magnavox and Radio Shack hire us to manufacture products for them. With X10, they're getting a company they can trust, more affordability and by far the most industry expertise of any home automation company. When you choose X10, you are guaranteed the best price and you have a wider range of products to choose from. Not only do we offer more remotes and modules, but we also offer cameras that are compatible with the rest of your X10 system, Universal Remotes that can control your home theater and your X10 home automation and a lot more that Insteon doesn't offer. With Insteon, plan on paying $30 or more per light/appliance module, $50 or more per remote, $35 per motion sensor, etc. With X10, plan on paying around $10-$15 per light/appliance module, $20 or less per remote and $25 or less per motion sensor. Any way you pencil it out, X10 comes out on top. Go with the company that invented X10 home automation technology... X10. |
