johnnyt Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Am looking for a zwave keypad like the insteon keypadlinc but want a non insteon option that works with ISY I found this https://www.amazon.ca/Cooper-Devices-RFWC5AW-5-Button-Control/dp/B0053ZIRWK but it's pretty pricey and this is first I even hear of this brand. I don't know if it would even work properly with ISY. And this one looks like it's sold only through HA installers https://www.rticontrol.com/zwave-5scene-switch.html Much of my search for zwave keypad point to locks...

RTI is dealer only though you may be able to find one on eBay or something. Cooper (Eaton) has been around forever. They make quality devices. I've never used their keypad so I cannot comment on how well it works.

You may want to have a look at this. My experience with (many) Inovelli devices is that they are innovative but with inconsistent performance.
johnnyt Posted July 8, 2021 Author Posted July 8, 2021 I reached out to Eaton about their RFWC5 and they replied that: Quote Unfortunately the Eaton 5 button scene controller RFWC5 is obsolete and no replacement. Z-wave discontinued production of the series 300 chip and Eaton had to discontinue this item. I've since found a number places that sell them for far less than amazon.ca but between only being 5 buttons (I'm looking to replace 8-button Keypadlincs) and having reached EOL, I don't think I'll go for this. Inovelli has only 3 buttons that can light up to act as an indicator that something is ON so I would need 3 to replace 1 KPL. I may have to give up on zwave for what I'm looking to do.
