i must say i see a lot of people downing the service before any has posted having or ordering it! let me say first its 9.99 a month not crazy and your in control not some idiot at a call center or in china lean about what your posting about before just going off and it does require a broadband connection not sure about it having to be fios but that's where most of the additional features are geared!!!

and yes i do have it and it is well worth it!!!

This is not new to me.... Have been using BSR X-10 (Also under the trade name Radio Shack / Tandy assigned: Power House). Back in the nineteen eighties; had a telephone transponder. Hope Vz teamed up with a dependable product provider. BSR X-10 is / was a true innovator in lighting and appliance controls. Original Timer from the nineteen eighties. Connected to a non surge protected AC connection over the years. Has battery backup – Only replaced a few times over the many years - (Due to age).

this is ridiculous, there will be a crazy monthly fee- id rather have an actual home automation company provide this all to me than verizon and have to deal with all their crap. for example elan "g!" check that out and you'll see something actually worth buying, and in the long run cheaper than verizon's garbage.

@zamorak10301 Not at all. It's probably something that will require FiOS as well.
