Thanks Guys, Your answers have been very helpful. I will be going the ISY/Insteon route. The product selection for Insteon is great, and I am Ok with the fact it's all one company. Also the upcoming support for z-wave makes this an easy choice. And the most important part, is the support and knowledge on this forum. Will be getting the new house early next year, can't wait to get started...

Thanks Michel, Any ETA on Z-Wave yet? I am hoping it will be available by year end.

I find this statement to be quite interesting. Based upon my reading of the micasaverde documentation, I would have called it a Z-wave controller with limited (very) support for insteon. Based upon my understanding of the ISY series of controllers, I would call it an insteon controller with limited Z-wave device support. I am having trouble understanding how both could meet your needs, unless you are still flexible with regards to which protocol (insteon or z-wave) you will take. Still flexible, moving to a new house end of January. Did not purchase anything yet.

In anyone experience, do you feel the ISY could use more speed and storage? I am trying to decide between ISY and Vera 3, both will meet my needs (once ISY gets z-wave), but ISY looks extremely underpowered compering to the Vera specs (500MHz CPU, Flash NAND 32 MB, SDRAM 32 MB, Memory DDR2 128 MB). Sorry for pointing this out on this forum, but since I am leaning towered ISY, I want to make sure I will not have performance issues.

Will ISY support it eventually?

What are the hardware specs for the isy994i pro?
