What is needed to use Z-Wave on ISY

[trevorst]

I have an ISY994i and wonder what I need to setup a Z-Wave network using the ISY. Do I need a hub etc ???

You'll need an isy with z-wave module installed. You'll then need a or several z-wave devices, like switches or sensors. Lastly, you'll need to configure these together and write programs to make it all work. I'm new too, and I can tell you it is pretty simple but takes a lot of patience, mainly because you just don't know. Read all the zwave forums and experiment. I'm learning how to write a program for a single switch and I want to pull my hair out and run down the street screaming, but from what I gather, that's normal when your starting out. Fun is when you discover something and it works.

outside of whats been posted, make sure you invest in enough devices to avoid headaches with signals. While Zwave is a great protocol, it is rf only so you will want to have enough device to ensure the signal reaches where you need it to work.
