The ZIM has to connect to the OMNI panel via a serial cable, so that limits its placement, but it does run on batteries so you can move it around to pair with devices. When pairing it is best to bring the ZIM right next to the device.
The ZIM should be fine in any location as long as it is in range of at least one other line-powered device.

What is the expected distances of use of the ZIM to Zigbee (non Omnistat) devices?
Line-powered devices should easily cover a house, but battery powered devices can have short range. Kwikset locks seem to have very short range. Maybe 20 ft.
Yup, not only are Zigbee devices firmware upgradeable but they can be upgraded over-the-air. At least that is in the Zigbee spec. Leviton supplies a Zigbee Upgrader that runs on a PC, but in usual Leviton fashion it doesn't work, or at least it never has worked for me. It is supposed to download updated firmware, but it doesn't.
