Iniyila 2 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 Today smarthomes are very popular there is many products which you can use for converting your home to a smart home but which products are the best ?One of the most popular branch of products are those based on zigbee protocol. some of the main futures of this protocol are :Retail Price : ~35$Physical Media : RFMaximum Nodes : 65543Very low power consumptionAnother one is INSTEON which has these futures :Retail Price : ~30$Physical Media : RF , PowerLinesMaximum Nodes : 16777216Medium power consumptionSo which one is the best one ? i think if your network has many wireless nodes you should use zigbee duo to it's very low power consumption but if you do not have many wireless nodes you should go for insteon because it's better in any aspect except for power consumption.
