<p><span>Hi
all,</span></p><p><span><br>Finally looking
at moving away from X10 to something more responsive and flexible.
&nbsp;I am considering z-wave or Lightwave RF and have a couple of
questions:</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>1)
Is there a UK double faceplate 4 way dimmer for z-wave as I can&#39;t
seem to find one? &nbsp;<br>My kitchen has 2x 4 way switches that
operate 5 circuits using micromodules/macros at present but cannot seem to
find a suitable z-wave alternative. Maybe micromodules again with same
faceplate? &nbsp;Lightwave is winning here with their 4 way dimmer and
slave...</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>2)
How easy is it to integrate the following into a coherent system (in order
of priority):</span></p><p><span>-
Appliance/lighting control with timers/scenes</span><
/p><p><span>- Heating/hot water room/zone control including
vacation control</span></p><p><span>- CCTV
(currently have 1 IP cam as standlaone, but might be nice to
integrate)</span
></p><p><span>- Security (arm status etc from existing
panel)</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>z-wave
controllers seem varied and hard to choose between and I guess a lot of the
answer to Q2 comes down to the controller and the app/software that goes
with it. &nbsp;Any suggestions and recommendations gratefully
received.</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Thanks</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Pete</span></p>
