Yes you are correct.

Are you around today?
Yes early evening would probably be better though.

With all the negative points I raised regarding the Fibaro Home Center 2.

I=92m glad I upgraded to this controller and I would do it again if the

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?

Cheers,

Paul,

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

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

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!.

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=
.

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

http://www.vesternet.com/compatibility/z-wave-compatibility-guide

Yes you are welcome to TeamViewer in to my HC2 when do you want to do it?

Steve

Thanks Steve,

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).

I might take you up on having a look around your system when you have a mo
=
if that's still ok?

Cheers,
Paul.

Yes I prefer the HC2 for two reasons.

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.

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.

The negatives for Fibaro

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.



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



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.



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



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/


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

Steve

Thanks Steve,

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

Hi Paul,

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.

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.

So as I'll be losing Comfort in the new house, what wire-free alarm
systems=
that have good Z Wave connectivity should I be looking at? Not interested =
in a monitored system but something that is reliable with battery powered
P=
IRs etc. main panel can be mains powered of course.

Thanks,
