Major Construction?
After moving to a different house I decided to get rid of the old crappy X10 technology…. Wow!
Suddenly there is…..
– no doorbell press notifications
– no heating control (solved: smart thermostat)
– no central ventilation control
Decision: embrace Z-Wave.
After talking to a couple of people the following products have been chosen:
– Aeotec Z-Stick Gen-5
– Fibaro dimmers/relays/motion sensors
To support this next generation Z-Wave stick I also had to migrate to Homeseer 3……….
The horror! I won’t express my Homeseer 3 frustrations here but this is, all in all, a gigantic migration… Especially as it’s busy at work and moving house takes a lot of time ;-)
Will post the lessons learned, small tutorials and detailed info later…
Cheers!

Just embarked on the route to Z-Wave. Bought a z-wave.me module for the Raspberry Pi. Have been thinking about adding KAKU to the Pi but decided no to keep them in the system. They will be replaced later on :)
Next purchase is probably going to a bunch of Zipato RGBW lights.
