Okay, I'm stuck here... Any suggestions and thoughts would be greatly appreciated...
I recently tried a sampling of UPB devices and liked it a great deal. As I started to move switches around the apartment to make sure it works everywhere before I purchase more devices, I noticed that most switches do not have the neutral wire in the J-Box... For some strange reason switches that I used during testing had neutral wires. So, here's where I think my choices are:
1) Wire neutral lead to all switches (expensive and I just finished painting...)
2) Get Z-Wave
3) Give up
I really want to go do the Z-Wave route, but they just don't seem to have the multiple controller switch that UPB or Insteon had. I wanted to have fully control of the lights in my living room. I know they the remote, but that can easily be lost. What has everyone's experience been with Z-Wave. I know there are a few peopel here really pushing it, but I'd like to hear the negative experiences. Are there any pitfalls with the switches that do not need a neutral lead?
Thanks.
