The INSTEON family of 200-plus devices delivers on the promise of a connected home. INSTEON users can set up lighting scenes, schedule lights to automatically turn on and off, and monitor their homes via wireless cameras from any mobile device.

Anything cheaper or is it the same old fixed pricing you see everywhere besides costco ?

Great question. Same question for best buy. Walmart has amazing powers of negotiation. I could see the pricing being the same or close Smarthome's prices on Amazon. (?)

 

Given the limited set of products, they are probably trying to build a bridge to Smarthome for the more advanced items.

From their website, it doesn't look like they're giving any discounts.

Also looking at the product descriptions. Many of the devices are through another vendor like Tiger Direct or iSave  through the Walmart sales pages.

Yeah I just got a chance to review that.

 

Walmart, what a fail!

I guess we have to count our assets here. It says that HA, especially Insteon, are considered more mainstream. If they are able to spread Insteon's install base, it makes it more attractive, or at least harder to ignore, to/for solutions like apple home kit, google or amazon.

 

I'll take it.

Seems Canuckistanis get a break this time on Insteon items. aartech.ca has better prices even in the depressed Canadian buck right now.  Good for us this time.

Are those metric Insteon devices?

I am not sure if I missed the joke? Metric? 

[Bob P.]

I think they use Imperial devices in Canada.

We do like our pints but they have to be cooled right down to the freezing point. That's nothing eh? C.
