Ok, went and bought a ton of dimmable fluorescent lighting for my house. They work as expected but completely obliterate my x-10 system. I mean, TOASTED. Nothing with a dimmable fluorescent will respond. SOoooooo, how does insteon stuff work with dimmable fluorescents? ANyone using them with their system? ANy help would be appreciated.
Best,
Chris

It seems like it really depends on the brand of CFL. There's a good thread here:

Not specifically Insteon, but good info:

Also check on cocoontech.com. There was a good CFL thread over there a while ago.

I haven't gone to CFL's yet because I'm not happy with the color output and the dimming issues.
