To make ALL their INSTEON products work WORLD WIDE, they need just design it with plug/socket that fit more than the US format (look at plug adaptor munufactures, they manage it with no problem), and a 110/220-240v slide switch (like electric razors had 20 yrs ago! It's not rocket science). Tapped primary transformers have been around for over 100 yrs. Auto volt sensing switch mode power supply circuits are also not new. They build a product for 10% of the world market when for little more effort they could have the world. Time someone else stepped in an took the market. - Mike Scott Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:52:44 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-761 Speaking of not only the UK, what did you think of "continental" Europe working with normal :-) plugs ? the Insteon site says the technology can easily be adapted to 230v/50Hz, but they have no current plans as to when they would do that.... - bhofland Sun, 03 Jan 2010 15:42:37 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-705 I don't understand he business sense of these companies. They have a massive hole in the market that really wouldnt take that much to fill with a set of product... there are thousands of UK users waiting for a reliable home automation package to hit our stores! Please! If I had the know how, I would do it myself, and most likely be a millionaire! - Chris Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:42:52 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-526 Err what is the hold up with this, Im a bit concerned that the current economic climate may be having an impact on a Europe release. I hope not I have an Xserve here with Indigo 4 all loaded up and nothing to do. Even if it was one or two basic Items, Just to test the water, It would be a start. - Lee Gorecki Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:24:20 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-479 Nothing yet? - Max Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:11:08 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-386 Almost a year after the original poster and still no sign of insteon for europe... Does anyone have any solutions that would work? Z-wave perhaps? - Insteon Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:55:07 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-264 Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear vapourware, Happy Birthday to you! - Anndra Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:11:11 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-102 I find one of the downsides to LM and AM plug-in modules is their size which causes them to 'stick out like a sore thumb' when plugged into a visible socket in a living room... How about discreet modules built into UK type 13A plugs. So instead of plugging an appliance into a module, you would wire the appliance into the plug unit. I appreciate these may have to be slightly larger than a standard 13A plug. Make sure all plug-in modules have a manual override switch so appliances/lights can be operated locally. - Dave A Tue, 05 Aug 2008 05:36:06 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-95 Looking forward to seeing a greater choice of switches and modules from Insteon (to drop onto my X10 AHP system). I believe many of the current plug-in modules are unnecessarily bulky (unsightly) and that their design is very 1980's. Hopefully Insteon's appliance modules have a quieter relay than the current X10 ones... Also, I'm looking for an appliance module which will dim CFL bulbs (without a residual flicker when switched off). Lastly, a UK compatible light switch replacement for X10 remote control as well as on/off/dim at the wall switch. - Dave A Tue, 29 Jul 2008 05:33:46 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/Exclusive-Insteon-Coming-to-the-UK-Europe.html#comment-83 Bob - we spoke to Joe again a couple of weeks ago for the Perceptive AUtomation podcast, which in part discussed Insteon - Listen here - http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/AH0013-AlertMe.html - He told us the were currently well into working on the first suite of products for Europe. So hopefully not too much longer to wait.
