Traditional zwave on/off switch.

[Ryanrk]

So I"m looking to start installing a z-wave system in my house and I currently have the traditional light switch and would like to keep it that way. The switch looks like this.

. Is there anything out there like that? I can also probably go for this look

but that would then not match with all my other switches. I just want a traditional look where it doesn't look like it's futuristic or abnormal. Does that make sense? I've only looked at a few places like z-wave site and automated outlet and didn't really notice anything like that.

THanks for your help

Here's a recent post on these switches on the HomeSeer bulletin board. They are out of stock everywhere do to a re-certification and alterations.

Wow thanks for the suggestions.

good catch Rupp, thanks. i use 4 of the homesettings currently with no problem but will definitely check into the issue.

for the 2nd one you can still use the act switches...

Not if you want them to acually work.

lol, i haven't used more than 10 of them but haven't had many issues with them (had a couple burn out). they are definitely one of the olders lines on the market. i would rather recommend the cooper wiring or leviton switches but that's not what he is asking for. definitely beats the intouch series too IMO, especially the 15amp.

i'm curious about the jasco line too. are they rebranded? anyone tried them yet? they look like act's and have the gap and led pretty much exactly the same.

So is this brand not very good? I'm still noticing that they are out of stock everywhere.

they are out of stock getting a recertification.... im waiting too as I have bought the old x10 togglelinc switches and a few insteon ones.... only for that look as my wife does not like the decoras...

but yeah im waiting for these to come out so I can play with zwave..... so I believe as long as they work they will be a big hit!!!!!

 

[Ryanrk]

Is there an ETA?

 

[Ryanrk]

Also where would be a good place to buy these switches when they come available?

For those of you who have the HA20 (Normal Looking Switches)... Does the little switch stick out abnormally far or does it just look that way due to some weirdness with the way the photo was taken?

I notice the HA20 3-Way In-Wall Switch Dimmer are back in stock but I also notice they only come in white which leads me back to my updated original question. Does anybody sell those traditional light toggle switches in Ivory. The ACT brand doesn't have the correct switch as they are flat.

Any Suggestions?

Tell whomever is using those switches to wash their hands first. Damn those things are dirty.

Hi Ryan - Sorry... I didn't understand your email earlier today. The HA20C is the ONLY conventional toggle-style switch on the market (period). And they don't offer a matching relay unit, so this is a pretty limited option at best.
