Tooting our own horn but the Z-Troller is field upgradeable, has one of the best RF ranges/characteristics (because it is not shoe-horned into a USB form factor), and since it has buttons and a display and can work disconnected from HomeSeer, it prevents you having to have a separate handheld...

I have the Schlage lever locks, which can definitely be locked and unlocked remotely. The Schlage deadbolt locks cannot be operated remotely, but the status of the deadbolt is reflected in HomeSeer. Kwikset's deadbolt is motorized as is Yale's, and both have a special status if the deadbolt...

HomeSeer works with Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale. There is a 3rd party plug-in for the Elk - more than one in fact I think... so you can definitely tie the disarm into the door unlock. I do something similar but for the other side with my HAI panel - I make sure the Schlage locks are locked when...

Besides the update which clarifies that it is not a hardware (design or fabrication) flaw, but a firmware flaw, the information posted at the source site is not accurate. The bug affects very TINY networks, and only those which were added in such a way that even with a small number of nodes...

By driver I assume you mean the plug-in. There are two plug-ins, a "classic" one for lack of a better term and a newer one. Some people preferred the older one because they thought that the RS-232 communications link worked better with it, so that is why it was left there. If you worked with...

HomeSeer does work with the HAI system.

I am sure that is the issue - the Schlage lock was newly added in 2.4.11 and I know that I made changes that affect triggers on all of the Z-Wave devices in the upcoming release. The beta is working, so not sure what "so I erased it" means, but if you wait for the release of our next version, I...

It is a good logical guess, and I have had situations before where I got burned by the value being the same so events do not trigger, but I coded that one to avoid that (or so I thought). Also, it does not explain how it worked fine in my test that I posted the log to him with. It is either...

The problem is that we alone cannot monitor our board - reason? Here are the latest stats: Threads: 57,363 Posts: 431,591 Members: 30,919 Active Members: 1,501 So, we have other moderators that help us, and it is easier for them to shoot first, then ask questions. If they are not sure, they...

Unfortunately I know of no good resource that is available publicly. I wouldn't call the Leviton information very good either as they do not even support a full network (232 nodes) nor do they do Request Node Neighbor Update. ControlThink was on their own before joining Leviton, so Chris knows...

No, as a handheld controller is going to have the Installer library, so it is designed to route based upon some pseudo random node numbers because it does not know where it is at any time. A static controller will route based upon routing tables and known frequently used nodes. The handheld...

What provides all of these features is not anything ControlThink did, it is the Zensys controller library used in the stick. There are a few types of libraries, or code collections available for controllers, one of which being the Installer library, which is what is used usually by handheld...

Actually, I don't think there have been any quality issues in years that have gone to production. The issues today are all software/firmware related, and the continued use of the old stuff which has old versions of the Z-Wave library, some of which have problems. Even though a manufacturer may...

Well, the original post did not make it clear what you wanted, if anything - it was more a statement of your thoughts on Leviton Z-Wave (a "story" as you put it), which is pretty much an open invitation to comment. I was trying to share what (little) I knew about WHY your Leviton experience...

True, although we also made that possible in HomeSeer. It does not play directly like Insteon does, but HomeSeer allows you to transition over time, keep both as long as you want - took me a good many years before I finally replaced the last of my X-10 switches - going to put a TON of them up...
