First, there was X10. There was appetite for something better. There were several candidate replacements, including: * UPB - Universal Powerline Bus (powerline) * Insteon (powerline + wireless) * Z-Wave (wireless) * Zigbee (wireless) Of these, Zigbee seems to be in the best position these days. Z-Wave is/was a closed system - you had to get compatibility testing/certification in order to sell products using the tech. It's fairly lightweight, reliable, and well respected by users. |
