A flashing red light indicates an error occurred. One of several things might be the cause of this issue... - There is no device assigned to the channel button you are pressing. - The device is not sending and 'ack' back to the controller. - The controller may be stuck in an unknown state. - The...

David, The blue wire of the HA14C must absolutely be connected to the lighting load (via additional wire if necessary). The red wire is used to sense if any of the non-Z-wave light switches have been toggled. The chain of 3 and 4 way switches must be connected to the same wire that the blue...

I'm curious to hear what people have been saying about this "older version" of the HA07 remote controller. Does it do something differently? I guess I'll do a search...

DieselvvRR, In that diagram, you can see that the HOT wire is only connected to the black wire of the HA20. The Blue wire of the HA20 (connected to the 18ga. or larger wire) controls the incandescent load (bulb). The Red wire is a sensing wire that detects if the wall switch that is not the...

Hey everyone, I hope this would be the right forum to ask this... I am looking specifically for people that use Intermatic HomeSettings products in a 2nd home. Intermatic is looking for testimonials and to interview candidates for providing examples of their own real-life installations. What...

As far as I know, on the Intermatic controller, you are able to set separate events to raise the light level by 7 preset light levels (8 including OFF). For example, to gradually dim up a light over a 30 minute time period, you can set 7 separate events every 4 minutes to dim up to the next...

You can do this with an Intermatic HA07 Controller (~$60) and an Intermatic HA03 Dimmer module (~$45). You would just need to program a series of events over the course of a half hour that would dim up the lamp gradually. The HA07 is a standalone battery-powered remote controller, so you would...

All the network info is stored in flash and will not be lost if/when the batteries die.

After resetting the network on your remote, reset the ZDW120 using the 'delete' function on the remote, and reset the HA04 Outdoor Module using the 'delete' function on the remote. Now you are basically starting from scratch. Include the ZDW120, then Include the HA04. Associate the ZDW120 to...

Chris, Right now I'm using a digital I/O board capable of controlling up to 48 circuits. I'm using a software program called "Dasher v2.0" created specifically for the purpose of controlling computer-controlled lighting displays. I just finished putting up most of the display this past...

I think that Z-Wave will be eventually used in synchronized Christmas light displays, but someone will need to develop the software to easily accomplish this. Right now, I use several Intermatic HA03 dimmer modules to turn on and off my Christmas tree and window lights, but it would be nice to...

Probably one of the more extensive Christmas light animation sites is PlanetChristmas. Check out the vendor tab for a big list of Christmas lighting and control related vendors. Personally, I'm using a CyberResearch CYDIO48 digital I/O board coupled with Dasher v2.0 that I purchased several...
