Since when does z-wave and Insteon handle AV? Do you mean just act as a remote control your AV devices? As far as I know they won't handle true AV automation like whole home audio & video distribution. If I'm wrong please correct me.
As rehaz1 mentioned, the OP was asking about lighting control, to which I responded. As far as A/V goes, both Insteon and Z-Wave CAN be integrated with A/V using HA software such as HomeSeer via two-way IR for control as well as triggers for HA events. Also if you use a gateway controller such as Vera, you can send IR commands to your a/v equipment as well such as turning on a light will fire up all your a/v rack.
