    Monster IWD 600 dimmers (like Leviton Vizia RF) - $30

    Erm, I said "like Leviton Vizia RF"... and the Monster IWD 600 is just a rebranded Vizia RF switch. I currently have four of this model dimmer installed and running on my Vera 2 network. If you mean, "is only the 'RF' Z-Wave, then yes.

    Monster IWD 600 dimmers (like Leviton Vizia RF) - $30

    Hopefully this is actually a good deal, unlike the Monster scene controllers I bought & posted... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330591097551 $30 with free shipping. There should be 12 left. I bought the last two dimmers I needed.

    Happy with Z-Wave & Vera2 so far...

    I just wanted to post my satisfaction with Z-wave. My implementation is pretty low-impact, in comparison with some of what I've read on here. So far, I've added a Vera 2 controller, two CA8900 thermostats, and two dimmers. I have several dimmers & switches ready to install, as well as a...

    Motorized blinds for small window

    Have you checked blindsgalore.com? The last motorized blind I bought was from there. It was IR-controlled, a larger window, but still under your budget for composite/wood.

    Use of non-Z-wave remote switches in 3-way applications

    I don't have the challenges of having my devices really far apart. I ordered three non-RF remote dimming switches today for $6 each (before shipping): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ZKM7Q0

    Monster in-wall 4-scene controller - $37.50

    Ouch... $20 each there. Too bad they're out of stock on the dimmers.

    Compatibility of in-wall scene controller buttons

    I just purchased two Monster IWC600 in-wall scene controllers: ...and I'm wondering if the Leviton label kit will fit: Clearly, the LEDs are in a different location, but I believe the switches are identical. If not, I'm looking for a Monster relabel kit & I haven't been able to find one...

    Monster in-wall 4-scene controller - $37.50

    I just bought two of these by putting in an offer of $37.50. My initial offer of $35.00 was automatically declined, while $37.50 was automatically accepted. Maybe you can try something in between & save a few pennies. Free shipping, too! I've been keeping an eye out for these, but I only...

    Use of non-Z-wave remote switches in 3-way applications

    I'm installing Vizia RF/legacy Monster switches (not the RF+ or most recent versions) throughout my home, and I was thinking about using non-RF/non-Z-wave remote switches in my three-way circuits. Aside from not repeating Z-wave commands as part of the network, are there any other limitations I...

    Vera 2 conditional scene overriding

    The MCV forums I found very handy! Here's the Luup code I inserted into the scenes which change the setpoint based on timers (where the device ID of the thermostat is "3": return (luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1","Status",3) == "1") ...essentially, when the thermostat is...

    I intend to, I just don't have any switches yet... still playing with thermostats.

    Vera 2 conditional scene overriding

    I've recently installed two thermostats that are responding correctly to a scene on a weekday timer that cools the house when I come home and shuts off the AC during the day when I'm at work. Let's say I have another scene called "vacation" that I want to trigger when I leave for more than a...

    Thermostat Indecisivness

    After installing the CA8900's, I understand where the "flimsy" comment came in. Separating & reattaching the back half (wire terminals) to the control unit isn't necessarily as "positive" as it ought to be. Once it's put together, though, they work well. Great value.

    Experience with ultrasonic sensors for Z-wave?

    Understood--I've seen similar non-Z-wave sensors by Novitas, but the model I was referring to is advertised as Z-wave capable: eBay

    Experience with ultrasonic sensors for Z-wave?

    I've just broken into Z-wave with a Vera2 and two CA8900 thermostats for two different HVAC units. Next up is a Kwikset deadbolt & some dimmers. I'm wondering about the use of a Novitas 01-160 for monitoring activity/motion in the entryway to turn on/off lights. Has anyone used this device?

    Thermostat Indecisivness

    I received my CA8900 thermostats yesterday & haven't had a chance to put them in; but the construction seems to be great, and button presses are deliberate and solid. I wouldn't describe the unit as flimsy by any stretch--certainly an improvement over the programmable Hunter units I have now...
