Elk and Zwave are not a goot combo right now. Hopefully this will change.

New to this, so help me out. Why is Z-Wave not good right now? Is it due to lack of two way commo? If not Z-Wave what can I use for an older house (only two wire electical). Wireless is a requirement, and all I know is Z-Wave. I did my home theater system up with it, not to complicated. If there is another Wireless system out there, how does it interface with ELK?
thank you.
We have alpha versions of the Leviton Vizia Zwave working quite well. The biggest holdup is some PC software to make the installation simplier.

Does this mean there's no future to the XZW?
Spanky, can you give us more details about the new M1/Z-Wave integration.... How will the Z-Wave lighting nodes be associated in the M1 (Lighting device number # to # for nodes, scenes, groups, etc). Does the RZCOP serial interface act as the Primary/Master controller or Secondary controller like the current M1XZW does where we copy the Primary/Master remote information to it?Zensys, Zwave, has gone through some hardware advancements in their processors, adding new capabilities and features. The Vizia line and others are using the new processors in their switches.
The interface will consist of a M1XSP serial expander loaded with the Vizia interface software. It is connected to a Leviton RZCOP, RS-232 to Zwave Serial Interface Module. Through the RZCOP, the M1 can talk to other manufacturers Zwave modules also.
