I really like the proposed two panes for X-10. I would suggest three refinements: - In the right pane in addition to ON or OFF status, show the %ON status for Dimmed items (calculated where there is no feedback). - Given that all combinations cannot show in the left pane without scrolling that only named combinations appear. (The right pane already gives all combinations including the unnamed.) - It would be good if an X-10 command could also be sent from the left pane by clicking on the item in the status column. A further thought would be to have a timestamped log screen of all X-10 messages heard on the line, with a clear button (when the log gets too big). This helps to track what did or didn't happen.

I have Homeseer 2 and lots of X-10 devices. I bought an ISY-26 because I wanted to operate independent of my PC and via web browser. From my reading on the web, Insteon and ISY support X-10 (and is also much better, etc.) From what I can read in this forum the ISY support for X-10 is minimal. If I had been able to read this dialog last week I would not have ordered an ISY. I am not about to replace all my X-10s although I would expect to add Insteons over time. If ISY was my product I would support older vintage technology as a way to attract people like me and migrate them to Insteon. Even Microsoft supports older versions. The tab where you add X-10 devices sounds like enough. If you are not going to do this, I would ask you to make clear to buyers that ISY really doesn't support X-10.
