What is INSTEON?
INSTEON is a simple, reliable, and affordable breakthrough in home control. Simple, because Plug-n­Tap™ setup is a breeze, and there are no wires to add – INSTEON uses existing powerline wiring as well as radio-frequency for communication. Reliable, because every INSTEON device is a two-way repeater. And affordable, not just because of low cost, but because INSTEON also works with legacy X10 devices. An INSTEON home grows in value with every INSTEON device you add, making life more convenient, safe and fun.
