I am not necessarily married to the isy if I can get everything I want out of a standalone system like lutron i might do that.

How expensive are we talking? And would that require different wiring or is it still replace devices and have a polisy device for the programming?

Any benefit to one over the other? and i can do all the things like insteon with them? create 3 way switches without wiring?

yea I actually have nothing at this point which is why I am open to anything. I just am familiar with the insteon and isy

Do you know of any switches like option 1?

Yea i was thinking lighting insteon and thermostats and then zwave door locks , door bell and what not and then if there is a way to use apple homekit that would be amazing.

Thanks for this but im pretty much seeing that insteon is the best thing out there no? If they really make a comeback it would be preferred to use them?

Hi All I am building a new house so I am starting to think about what I want in it. ( Essentially full smart home ) My dad has a isy994 and all insteon switches and thermostats. so that is what I was gong to go with aside from getting the new polisy pro instead of isy since insteon Just came back online. But I figured I would ask around and see if there was a better option for me. I reqally like the insteon technology and simplicity but if there is something else I should consider I would love recommendations. Disclaimer: I am a developer so can grasp concepts quickly but I have no idea about what options or technologies are in this field.
