The biggest difference is that SAW transmitters are officially supported. Functionally they are the same – minus the antenna. You can still use your old receiver without any issues as long as you stick with Crystal transmitters listed in M1RF2G manual. You can also use Resolution products...

The Leviton handheld controller cannot control/enroll Locks. The VR-USB is product for configuring your Vizia+ network. If you switch primary controllers, make sure you exclude all the devices from your Z-Stick first. You will have to rebuild network using Levition RF Installer Toolkit.

Before spending money, it’s best to start out with a few switches, play around with software and become familiar with technology. You might find you don’t like Z-Wave.   The three/four-way manual switches currently installed might not be supported by Z-Wave manufacturer light control...

The IOActive (and corresponding CVEs) paper describes some very basic security vulnerabilities. The Wemo product is predicated on Internet-of-things, so it’s hard to understand why some pen-testing wasn’t conducted prior to releasing devices. Belkin is a networking company, so you would have...

+1 on Dell's recommendation. Finding the right location to install Glass Breaks (GB) is not a simple endeavor. My motion detectors are not installed anywhere close the GB.   You will have to keep in mind PR detection devices require a 90 degree observation path where GB require a different...

It might have been useful to contact Elk first with your security DoS concerns before posting.   I don’t agree that Elk XEP should not be directly exposed to Internet. The XEP’s security should be good-enough to prevent basic DoS and password cracking. Bad guys do get into secure networks, so...

Spanky could you please add Elk Two-Way Temperature and Humidity sensor that is 98% accurate. The sensor could support an external thermister My use cases are: Weather related monitoring Automated ventilation Water temperature/aquastat for hot water recirculation Appliance failure...

The VRC0P+3 version is displayed on startup (shown using Hyperterminal). If you must flash VRC0P+3, the least hassle seems to be using a real COM port (and not a Serial USB converter).

I think the question is how much do you want to spend for higher reliablity. AO is selling Evolve (Z-Wave) devices. The one Evolve plug I have installed hasn't fried itself in the six months it been installed. The Evolve switches are cheaper than Vizia+. For more than three years, the Vizia+...

$60-70 a switch is not really cheap. I believe UPB and Vizia+ switches are similarly priced with RA2 much higher. When you spending more than $50 a switch, warranty and support become more critical IMHO. I just installed a Vizia+ 2-button switches; unfortunately the locator LEDs are not working...

I am installing a similar hot recirculation line and will use Z-Wave plug, high efficiency pump, occupancy scheduling, and aquastat sensor. I was thinking about putting a button on bathroom/kitchen walls, but instead I will probably just use the Z-Wave bathroom light as additional input. ElkRP...

Has anyone tried to see if the virtual group button over-the-air configuration works. Now that latest version does not crash, I cannot seem to get the VRC0P to save all the assigned areas. Whenever I tried to activate a group with ElkRP, ever light in house is manipulated.

I purchased my first IP security camera. I chose Hikvision 2032 after doing lots of research. The IP camera is small, IP66 outdoor, takes great video, 3MP/1080P,  day/night, and doesn’t break the bank. The version I bought does not have audio, but the “Pro” versions do have audio in/out. The GUI...

A repeater is a good idea. It’s also possible for combine two Elk GE receivers to improve coverage area. You would have to run a 4-wire back to ElkM1 controller. Although, I don’t suspect that the entire 600 ft would have not have to covered.

I have a Resolution Products driveway sensor (great product) and the distance is more than 200 ft. I once tried long-range testing a GE sensor using a walk test (the sensor was included in the walking part). I was surprised at the distance it could operate. Resolution Products appears to be now...

As HAI/Leviton meantioned, you can just send the scene command. I believe the command: >N1,10,23S2,255\r\n   Call scene 2 with default fade rate for nodes above If you have a specific group number defined, then the the group recall (GR) command should work: >GR1S2,255\r\n

Can you please explain more about rebooting switches if tied to Leviton Vizia+? Scenes are programmed into individual switches on-board flash. A power failure should not impact any part of a Z-Wave network. The only time a power failure might cause a problem is if M1XSLZW reboots. Occasionally...

Interesting, the exact same thing happened – minus the network rebuild. I was able to use virtual button function first time RTIT v1.1.1.2 ran. The second time RFIT started, the crash was triggered. Hopefully, they will fix this quickly. I am getting ready to add some more lights soon and using...

Thanks for update about virtual button, Ctrl+Shift+B,  crashes. For some unknown reason, this function was inadvertantly hidden/removed from UI.   My VRUSB is latest version with “Green” light.   I will attempt to contact Leviton and let them know about these crashes. Until this crash is...

Thanks for updates. Did anyone else experience crashes when trying to enable VRC0P virtual group buttons screen and trying to build different groups?   SJHart, How many Z-Wave locks did you successfully re-install with this release?
