Re: Home Technology Hub 297Dec 29, 2016 6:17 pm trayracer Wiring: Tip, if you're intending on putting in Saturn or LED Impress switches for z-wave, suggest running an extra cable for two-way switches if you want the switch to illuminate when the lights are off. Thanks for the tip! Assume you have the Saturn range of switches installed? I have asked for Saturn Zen switches for all downstairs areas in my new build with future Z-wave in mind. Have a few questions... Assume the same applies for 3-way switches as well? Have one in the staircase and entryway. Also, that I need just 1 Z-wave controller to control each 2/3-way switch circuit? Which Z-wave module did you get which is compatible with the Saturn range? Do you know of a Saturn compatible Z-wave module which allows for LED light dimming? Do you use Z-wave to control your fans? If so, could you pls let me know which one you use? What about Z-wave module behind regular switches? I have these in the upstairs areas, and I was under the assumption that if you do not need dimming, you could use a regular switch (not the Saturn range) Re: Smart Doorbell, I'm thinking of DoorBird - which has a proprietary SIP compatibility, but offer Smart Transmission Mode for mobile access. They are more open compared to Ring, and the hacker community had done some cool things with it... Did you hire your own sparky to install the modules? If so, do you mind sharing what I should budget in terms of $$$ and hours?

If so, do you mind sharing what I should budget in terms of $$$ and hours? Saturn switches are nice, but I actually didn't get them. I've got the standard range with Impress switches. I wanted to keep all the faceplates consistent, including the ethernet, but the Saturn range is a bit limited. Oh, and not to mention, cost. I just didn't see it as good bang for buck. It was also my first foray into z-wave, so didn't know how full on I wanted to go. I use the Aeon Labs in-wall switches (I can recommend Capital Smarthomes- very good customer service), though I'm thinking of giving the Fibaro units a try. Easy to install, especially if you know an electrician who accepts payment in beer vouchers. The Aeon units, and I believe Fibaro, accept either a momentary or toggle switch, and yeah, one unit can do a two/three way switch. Basically, you need one controller per thing you want to turn on/off, regardless of the number of switches. Though, note, you can get double units, which control two devices in one z-wave unit. I don't control fans with z-wave, so can't comment on that Doorbell, I got the Amroad DP3210 http://www.amroad.com.tw/amroad-products/amroad-dp3210/ The technology has gotten cheaper with more entrants to the market since I bought mine, so best to do your own research. I just needed something that did SIP/VoIP Hope that helps Re: Home Technology Hub 299Dec 29, 2016 10:21 pm Wow, so much here since I last looked at this thread I love garages believe me and the best current HA for them is Gogogate.
