![]() I bought the SMARTENIT Harmoney P2 because I wanted the Alexa voice interface. The WM100 controls everything without issue. I also have the WM100 X10 WIFI hub and the very robust repeater developed and sold by Jeff Volp. My use history is similar to yours and I have over (80) X10 devices in a 6000 SF house. I get that the SMARTENIT unit is cloud based and therefore there is not a lot of local control (app based), something that I do not like, but have become accustomed to as an Amazon EERO router user. Hey Brobin, I recently purchased the products you advised. If you order be sure to click the selection to include the 'Add Insteon/X10 powerline only PLM.' bringing the total to $74.99. The P2 does need to be plugged into an Ethernet port on your router or switch. There have been no server interruptions in the time I've had it and the company and support are in the USA. It has it's own real time clock and does sunrise/sunset calculations based on where you live. In addition to X10, you can also use it to control Insteon and ZigBee devices should you ever wish to. Everything is done through an Android/IOS app or web portal. ![]() It's virtually plug 'n play so you can be up and running 30 minutes after you open the box. It's basically what X10's WM100 should have been but for a lower price and better functionality. ![]() I've been using it for almost 3 years and it's rock solid. At $75 for both it's an economical solution that not only gives you Alexa skill supported control of X10 but an app and a sophisticated automation controller with email and text notifications. The solution a growing number of us here are using is a Smartenit Harmony P2 with a bundled Insteon 2412U PLM. As an almost 40 year user of X10 I was thrilled to be able to control my system with Alexa using a simple plug'n' play device that can also function as a full blown X10 controller.
