Hello!
Dan R. pointed me in this direction to look into Premise.
I've been using home automation since I bought a Home Control Concepts product called HomeBase in the early 90's, and have been using HS for about 5 years. I'm looking to set up another home automation system for a brick-and-mortar store that my wife is looking to start up in a few months, and am considering Premise.
Looks like there's a lot of support for legacy devices like the JDS TimeCommander and X-10, which is good, and also some of the newer devices like the W800RF32, which is also good. The one other interface that I need support for is Z-Wave. I see there has been a lot of progress on the Z-Wave interface support lately, and I have a couple questions.
It looks like the only interface that's supported is the VRC0P? That's not a big deal, since I'd have to buy an interface anyway (I use a SmartStick with HS, and have a spare SmartStick, but I'd need to buy another one anyway to make sure I have a spare). How do you tell one VRC0P from the other, knowing that there appears to be different revisions? And is it true that the VRC0P is only used as a secondary controller? If so, what would one use as a primary?
Thanks,
Chris
