Insteon Shipping & Elk Price M1G lowers

[Brian]

SMarthome is shipping Insteon now. I'm sure most are aware of this but
haven't seen anything here.

I'll be adding it very soon.

The powerful Elk M1G is now lower $545.93

That is correct. ELK lowered the dealer cost and MAP on the M1Gold. They
are discontinuing the M1 Standard panel. In July we expect to have the new
"M1 Easy8" panel as well. This will be a full-featured panel like the M1
Gold but with less I/O. We are also now shipping the Elk Ethernet port for
the M1 Gold. One of the advantages of ELK's TCP/IP connection is a built-in
web server. No dedicated PC server is required.

..It will have the security and automation power of the M1Gold, except for
the voice capability (voice alerts, voice dialer, and telephone remote
control).

This is my understang of the panel.

That's pretty much the same thing ELK told me when they announced the new
(lower) pricing.

It looks like the only controller so far is the 5-unit controller that
comes w/ their start-up kit. They state that the x10 hardware will work w/
Insteon, does that include the controllers (can I use my palmpad to control
the Insteon hardware)? Or are they just talking about the modules?

I'm pretty sure this is the case. I don't have any product in yet but I'm
sure it won't be long. The details of there system is sketchy.

Here is a article wriiten by someone who saw the products at a show.
