    The only complication that most people might have is with not having a white wire (common) in the switch box. We’ve run into this with houses just 10 years old…

    If you can change a switch, you can install these devices. Check out Insteon at Smarthome.com

    Is this something that the average home owner can install himself? Brand name?

    It should be noted that some systems use both RF and PL (power line) for fault tolerance. The central controller plugs into a wall outlet and has an antenna as well. I am currently experimenting with 2 systems and there is a world of difference between them as far as reliability goes so choose carefully!
