Looking for Help: Z-Wave control beyond ControlThink

Hi All,

I have a very simple installation of about 60 ZWave devices that are controlled by the defunct ControlThink product. I am looking for options to which I can migrate as while my demands are few, the system is increasingly brittle and zero software support is a problem. Also, a few additional software features would be appreciated.

In addition, I use the system together with Leviton VRC0P interfaces which extends control via RS-232 to my Philips Pronto and a Global Cache device.

ANY thoughts would be welcome.

Thanks

Really? Feedback is hit-and-miss.

Bullet-proof is more important than feature-richness to me.

I'm looking for my solution as well and I thought it would be the Vera. However, after seeing their support forum I've currently passed on that option. I'll be trying out the free Premise program and then going from there. Right now I have nothing, but will start with a thermostat and a couple dimmers to get a better handle on it all.

Hi

Out of interest. What turned you away from the Vera solution?

Their support forum - it's littered with constant issues and unresolved/ignored posts. It appears as the unit is not the most stable solution.
