Paul,

Answers to your questions below =E2=80=93

=20

How well do general Z Wave devices work with HC2? =E2=80=93=20

Most of my devices are Fibaro so work without problem.  I do have a POPP
pl=
ug-in module which flags as template missing but it works fine.  I have
req=
uested the template be included with Fibaro technical so it should be
inclu=
ded in the future.  Search the Fibaro forum for =E2=80=98missing templates=
=E2=80=99 then you can judge if that=E2=80=99s an issue for you.  It=E2=80=
=99s no deal breaker for me at the moment.

=20

is this the schema for the device (like a smoke detector having various
par=
ameters)? -=20

Yes you are correct.

=20

Are you around today?

Yes early evening would probably be better though.=20

=20

With all the negative points I raised regarding the Fibaro Home Center 2. 
=
I=E2=80=99m glad I upgraded to this controller and I would do it again if
t=
he clock was turned back.  I say this because I=E2=80=99m sure in time
thes=
e small issues will be resolved.  However its best you are made aware from
=
the start.  I wasn=E2=80=99t.

Ah that's all interesting. How well do general Z Wave devices work with
HC2=
- when you say 'templates' is this the schema for the device (like a smoke=
detector having various parameters)?

Are you around today?

Paul,

These Z-Wave switches look nice.  I dont know anything about them though!

=20

http://www.vesternet.com/z-wave-mco-touch-panel-switch-two-load

=20

Another thing to note.. The Z-Wave protocol should be universal and this
is=
written in the specs, meaning that all Z-Wave products should work togethe=
r.  However some features may not be supported with some Z-Wave products. 
=
There is also a revision in the specs called Z-Wave Plus, the specs say it
=
should be backward compatible but the Plus features may not be supported
wi=
th older Z-Wave products.  I think one of the new Plus features is a
longer=
range.  There is no word on if the HC2 supports Plus yet!.

=20

Oh one other negative for the HC2, due to the locked down nature its not
po=
ssible to add templates for device features that are not already included
i=
n the firmware of the OS.  It has to be done by emailing Fibaro the
technic=
al specs of the product you want adding together with a template of the
dev=
ice you included in your system and they say it will be added in a coming
f=
irmware update.  At the moment this is a slow process due to their
workload=
.

=20

This is a very good resource from Vesternet and shows what devices they
hav=
e tested with each controller/firmware.  ITS A MUST READ!

Thanks Steve,

=20

I'm pretty excited about the HC2 and particularly the dimmer modules etc
th=
at they have. Seem to have the functionality I use regularly with my CBus
u=
nits but at a fraction of the cost! Obviously no LCD displays but should
be=
good with the right switches (still to research).=20

I might take you up on having a look around your system when you have a mo

if that's still ok?

Yes I prefer the HC2 for two reasons.=20=20

=20

One it has a faster response time than the VeraLite. i.e. when multiple
com=
mands are sent at once, dim, dim etc. (However the VeraLite is a low spec
c=
ontroller and there are other Veras options also available). Dont forget
bo=
th Fibaro and Vera will interface with HomeVision via http requests I can
h=
elp you with this if you need it.

=20

The other reason is it has a much better user interface, both for setup
and=
what I can endpoint screens. iPad and iPhone, I dont have any Android but =
there is a Fibaro App available for this also.

=20

The negatives for Fibaro=20

1)    The OS has been totally revamped around Christmas time and has been
r=
eleased as a beta, it still has many bugs.  Fibaro are fixing them but
they=
are slow.  When the HC2 is shipped it comes with the stable version but no=
t as feature rich as the beta upgrades. (Im not sure what features are
miss=
ing.) As we are on the cutting edge/early adopters a lot of us dont mind
wa=
iting for updates, tinkering and fixing stuff with workarounds.=20=20

=20

2)    The Fibaro forums are useful but not as mature as the Micasaverde
(Ve=
ra) forums

=20

3)    Even though the user interfaces are nice they are not customisable.
I=
believe you can use Roomie, NetIO or a simple webpage via the HTTP API if =
this is needed.

=20

4)    No third party plug-ins allowed yet by Fibaro=20

=20

5)    A problem for both the Fibaro and the Vera there are no I/Os on the
c=
ontrollers, they are wireless only units, hence good we have the HTTP API.
=
In the future I may look at using some itach devices. designed to connect
a=
lmost any electrical device to a network in a matter of minutes  http://www=
.globalcache.com/products/itach/

=20

Good luck with you final choice, I would love to hear what you go for and
y=
our experiences.

You mentioned that you're going from Vera to HC2. Which do you prefer? I'm

Hi Paul,

=20

I cant help you with advice on Z-Wave Alarm systems.  However, if you end
u=
p choosing the Fibaro Home Center 2 it has a built in plug-in for a Satel
A=
larm System. Im sure the Vera will have many more plug-in options for
alarm=
s.=20=20

=20

The Fibaro is sadly lacking in plug-ins, as its not currently open to
third=
party developers. Albeit its said to be coming in the future.=20

So as I'll be losing Comfort in the new house, what wire-free alarm

in a monitored system but something that is reliable with battery powered
