Martin Custer of AutomatedOutlet (who sells all of the various technologies)
posted here about a year ago that Z-Wave had the highest warranty return
rates (and shortest warranty).

And, another dealer who sells "all the above" posted here that Z-Wave lamp
modules were blowing when the lamps burned out although I wonder whether he
confused cause and effect.
