Ideally I'd like a Vizia RF 240 volt switch, but I don't think they exist. Has anyone seen any other zwave brands with a 240 volt switch that is available for purchase today?
Thanks,
Johnny

You might not come to the same conclusion, but i had thought about this too and i decided that for 240V loads and 20A 120V loads, that zwave really wasn't needed. In most cases, i don't think i want a zone/scene controller managing those loads, but something else. IN the 240v case for me (compressor / dust colletor) maybe a momentary switch near the shop door / near air lines, etc...

Curious, what is the 240 v load you're thinking about though?

This would be for at least 1 pool pump (a water feature), which I would like on my Z-Wave network. This way I could use a remote control, or slave switch in the house to control it inexpensively. In a perfect world it would be a Vizia RF 240v switch since I'm using Vizia RF in my home.
The other pool pump is for the filter, which doesn't really need to have a fancy automated interface. A simple multi-cycle timer would be perfect... if I could find one at a reasonable price.
The automated systems that the pool stores sell are ridiculously expensive.

ya i wanted a set of pool controls on the patio (light/pump/etc)...
if i were you (and i'm in the same boat) i might holdoff and see if with the new serial interface firmware and programming tool if elk will accept scene commands (as Vizia defines them - on a per controller/button basis) . Cause if you could assign no devices to a scene/zone button on the 4-button controllers, activate it, and drive that as a lighting change event in the rules, you'd still get what you want (and still have two way comm) - that is in fact what i am hoping to do in conjuction with the relay approach:
button
1: pool pump
2: pool heater
3: pool light
4: back landscpage lights

But the pool pumps are 240v and Vizia RF doesn't make a 240v switch to my knowledge. I also don't have any wires from the Elk to the pool equiptment for relay use.
My buttons would be:
1: Backyard flood lights
2: Backyard landscaping lights
2: Water feature pump
3: Pool Light
