It is better, but yes; new things take time to mature. Insteon is very new and many products are not even out yet in the Insteon line. Some of the first products had bugs too, but they are moving at a very good pace. The fundamentals like the speed and consistency that the devices respond is night and day compared to X10. X10 was like for extreme hobbyist that were ok with it never being perfect (10 years ago). Insteon is for people that want professional results at DIY prices going into the future.
