I have found that Z-Wave is just fails when it comes to the controller areas.
I hope some one can point me to an Primary controller that really works, consistently.
The primary controller is a single point of failure and they fail and lose configurations a lot.
Then there is the "inclusion" process.
So you have to be within 3 feet of the device to include? What the heck.
So you need to pick up your server and haul or dismount a device from the wall it into the other room?
Who thought that was a good idea?
This is 2013. We have all kinds of discovery protocols available to do these things.
And can you back up your configuration?
I know I have tried several different primary controllers and none of them work well at all.
- Leviton hand-held VRCPG-0SG
- Vera 2
- Aeon LABs 2 Stick
- Think Essentials Professional Edition
Like I said, I hope someone has a good idea as to what to use.
Thanks
