jkraus Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Is Zwave the best alternative? I heard there is need for lots of range extenders? totally out of my "Insteon" comfort zone here

jec6613 Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 For lighting systems, Lutron's are the best replacement (Z-Wave is still way behind). For everything else, Z-Wave is where it's at.
jkraus Posted April 22, 2022 Author Posted April 22, 2022 So You mean Lutron Zwave devices are are you saying another communication technology?
jkraus Posted April 22, 2022 Author Posted April 22, 2022 sorry confused, as Lutron does make zwave switches as well as wifi one and maybe more. I am asking which ones to use if I upgraded to a Polisy?

To my knowledge Lutron does not make any Z-Wave devices, they have their own proprietary RF technology that offers functionality on par with Insteon (e.g. no popcorning and so on), though the tech is very different under the hood. Could you be confusing Lutron with Leviton? Leviton does indeed make a very large variety of Z-Wave and WiFi devices.

jkraus Posted April 22, 2022 Author Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) HaHa, maybe I am the one confused. Thought I found them on Amazon, but now maybe it was a Leviton . Sorry. so what protocol is Lutron (zwave in disguise?) if not then do they works a Zwave repeaters? are they compatible with Polisy? Edited April 22, 2022 by jkraus
