Hello,
I am in the process of building a new home and looking for a system that will work for what I would like. I don't know to much about this sort of thing so any help would be great.
I think the ISY with z-wave will work but don't want to install it to later figure out I was wrong.
I am looking to using Insteon 8 button keypads in all major rooms (kitchen, dinning, living, stair way, foyer, master bedroom, master bath...about 10-11 keypads in total in the house)
Most major rooms will have 3-8 independent light switches (kitchen has 6 separate lighting loads). So far planning for z-wave plus Leviton switches (DZ6HD-1BZ) on my electricians recommendation. 90% of these switches will be located in a remote location (about 35-40 switches in total).
My plan is to use the Insteon 8 button keypads to control the Leviton z-wave switches via the ISY. Many of these will be controlled in a 4-way fashion (same kitchen light can turn controlled from foyer, dinning, living, and kitchen as an example).
So far I am not planning on doing scenes which is why I need a keypad with lots of buttons.
My electrician is concerned that this system will not work, but from what I have read on these forums it seems like it should.
Ideally I would be using z-wave keypads but none have 8 buttons (Cooper makes a 5 button that my electrician does not want to use).
Any thoughts on whether such as system with Insteon 8 button talking to ISY and ISY talking to leviton switches will work (and leviton reporting status back to Inteon keypads)?
Thanks,
Konrad
