Adding Z-Wave support to my 994i

[toddhutch]

Good afternoon,

 

So I think I'm seeing the writing on the wall, and that Z-Wave is out innovating Insteon.  So, I'm thinking I'd like to start adding Z-Wave devices to my home.  What is the correct/best path for someone who has a 994i already and a fair number of x10 and Insteon devices?

 

Best regards,

 

Todd

Add the zwave card and software to your isy. To start, i would add zwave devices in places that are not scene controllers or program triggers needing to differentiate between control and status.

You'll also need the latest 5.0.x firmware in all likelihood...

Depending on how a bug free system you require, you may want to stay with the less capable Z-Wave version, but more reliable ISY version 4.6.2. Version 5 has not even made it out of Alpha.

I did not see the Z-Wave daughter board as available, on the UDI sales page.

Some vendors that carry their product. May still have some.
