 Bit the bullet re Z-wave. Did anyone else?
Have my Z-wave hardware on the way. Going to start with a lock, thermostat and some motion sensors and a few outlets/switches to mesh it all together, hopefully. Of course counting on the Z-wave plug-in to make it all usable Anyone else doing/planning similar? Heinz

 Re: Bit the bullet re Z-wave. Did anyone else?
Using the Vera plugin? I have a Vera running with the plugin doing some scheduled lighting stuff - totally solid so far. They did a great job on that plugin. I haven't tested it with any other device types though so I'd be interested to hear some feedback on it with the locks and thermostat especially.

 Re: Bit the bullet re Z-wave. Did anyone else?
I'm definitely interested in hearing how it goes. Please let us know what brands/models you got -- there are lots of modules/brands, so I'm curious as to what the good ones are based on real world experience.

I got the Vera3, so that there'd be no "excuse" like oh' you only have the "lite"  Have a Homeseer sensor paired as a start. Just waiting for the plugin now. Looks like I know what I'm doing this weekend

 Re: Bit the bullet re Z-wave. Did anyone else?
I got a vera3, some of the ge plugin dimmers and switches ( primarily as repeaters) and just received a Yale Real living keyless deadbolt lock. Will install next week after I get it rekeyed. Did not get any thermostats as I bit the bullet and when with Nest. Also downloaded alugin for denon rec but not sure that will work with the Vera plugin?

 Re: Bit the bullet re Z-wave. Did anyone else?
The public beta of Indigo 6 now supports the Z-Stick 2 and some Z-Wave devices (with additional device support in the works). If you have a Z-Stick 2, then give it a try. Note it does not yet support the locks, but that is something we are investigating.

 Re: Bit the bullet re Z-wave. Did anyone else?
Best news in a long time  Ordering my Z-Stick and plan to wean off the Vera plug-in as devices get added. Feeling very optimistic. INSTEON and Z-Wave are an excellent combination as each has its own strong points. Thank you Matt. Edit: Forgot to ask: Can Z-Stick and Vera Plugin co-exist? I.e. use Vera Plugin for devices not yet done in INDIGO?
