Re: Light switch status

Thanks Dave,  always good to get real-world feedback!

If I can find a Z-Wave ethernet device (as opposed to USB) then I'll
probably give Z-Wave a chance and get a handful of switches to play with.

It certainly seems a reasonably priced way to get HA control and status
feedback.
