Does anyone have information regarding the pricing of the Vizia-RF switches? I can't find anything on the web at all.
I was also looking at the Intermatic "InTouch" line, but YIKES!!! They're almost twice the price of a comparable UPB switch. I'm getting close to needing to purchase switches for my new home and as much as I'd like to go Z-Wave, it seems so expensive compared to UPB. I've read a few threads on this site, but I haven't been able to conclude what is the best way to go. I'm hoping that the bulk nature of my purchase will help me to get a discount, but are there really good quality Z-Wave switches out there that are affordable?
One other question. How important is the "instant status" feature of z-wave? I know you can get around it somewhat by using software that polls, but do you really poll the whole house? That seems strange to me.
Thanks,
Stacy
