Thoughts of Zwave

I should let people know that for devices related to domotics I really like all the recent releases being released from vendors such as Power Control Systems and the Zigbee Alliance.
What’s interesting is that the recent devices being released aren’t so much much of a step forward as you’d think because they had been accomplished through other means using available basic parts but nowadays they are presented as a tidy set. One other thing is you won’t feel like you need a complicated circuit diagram to understand how it works.

A deeper look shows us quite a few correlations between the brands. For example, not one of them use portable products as RF repeaters, and almost all products use RF in some way. With other differences however, it gets involved – I could attempt to outline it myself and explain things poorly, there’s a site here Z-Wave home automation has good discussions showcasing some of the contrast points.

So if you’re having any thoughts on tricks to bring in some moolah to pay for our new dependence, for pete’s sake let me know!
