Funnily enough, this is the same reason I use ZWave and Wemo as running
wires in a rented apartment doesn't seem to be a good idea. :)



My Zwave was temperamental with regards to the 2 units in the bedroom. With
this being an apartment block, the majority of the walls are filled with
rebar so I have a sort of Faraday cage effect on wireless so I had to
install a WiFi repeater in the bedroom just to get Internet in there.



The 2 Zwave devices in the bedroom would fail on most occasions even though
there was a device midway between so the mesh should have worked.



I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to Homeseer 3 when the discount
made it worth the purchase price and since doing so, the Zwave units in the
bedroom have never failed. Can't find out why, but it just works now. I
guess the software is able to sort out the mesh compared to V2 from before.



Integrated with the Amazon Echo I now have full control of lighting and
other devices by voice command.



Dave.

*chuckle* If they were *MY* walls then they'd be opened up like a ploughed
field but unfortunately (in that respect at least) I've just moved into a
nice little newly converted and decorated *RENTED* annexe so chasing out
walls is not on the cards. :-)
