Re: Looking at Zwave products and need recommendations?

["Dean Roddey" <droddey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CQC supports Z-Wave now, and supports it very well as of the new 1.4 release
about to come out. So it's definitely not just HS that supports it. Zen-Sys
didn't by any means make it easy for us to add this support, and I think
that they really fail to understand what market development means, but we
managed to do it anyway. I'm using Z-Wave here at my place via CQC and it's
be extremely reliable for me. But that's in a fairly small system.

Bit biggest is that, since no current Z-Wave devices send async state change
notifications, it becomes a polled system, and the low bandwidth limits how
low the latency can be kept once you get up to a certain number of modules.
But, beyond that, it's working fine for us and our customers now. In a
larger system, you'd probably have to give up two way on some of the less
important modules in order to the polling latency for the others down.
