You cannot use Insteon. The devices are designed for 60 Hertz only.

This site ” http://www.shed.com/not110v.html “ has numerous X10 dealers listed.
X10 installed in a 10,000 sq. foot house will be somewhat of a challenge due to the length of the runs. I’m not familiar with X10 running over 220 but the crossover signal should remain the same. It appears the CM15Pro is a Marmitek built controller for use only with Active Home Pro therefore PH does not support it. If you can find a 220 controller that is supported by PH then I would use PH because of its almost unlimited possibilities of programming. Otherwise Active Home Pro would be a good alternative. Getting use to the ease of programming, in my opinion, would be easier with Active Home Pro.
