Does anyone know if the buttons are interchangeable between the Vizia RF+ and the Monster Illuminessence scene controllers? I have these: ...and I'm wondering if the buttons I have left over will fit this Leviton VRCZ4-M0Z: Thanks!

If I needed another one, I'd buy one of these, but I'm actually looking for levers now. LINK There are two colors available, two Satin Nickel & one Polished Brass. $85 + $9.95 shipping. EDIT: AZ notes below that these do not have the radio board or tapered deadbolt... so this isn't a...

I have a pretty sound Z-wave network controlled by Vera 2--most lights, fans, and two thermostats. I also have two rooms with two Monster Omnilinks ("RF extenders" in Logitech speak) and two unique but identical AVL 300 remotes. I've recently learned that I can either use one HT remote for...

I've had a Kwikset deadbolt for at least 3 months, and while it works well "most of the time," here are the issues I've encountered & that are still plaguing me: Battery life--I'm consuming a lot of batteries. One set per 4-6 weeks. Nothing much I can do about this. (I have the status LED set...

Yesterday I received a HP Slimline S5750Z PC that I bought on eBay. It has a Quad-core 3.1GHZ PC with 6GB memory and a 1TB drive, a Hauppauge TV card, blah, blah, blah. Essentially, I wanted an all-around home computer that would be connected to my HT full-time. It's my first home computer in...

Hopefully this is actually a good deal, unlike the Monster scene controllers I bought & posted... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330591097551 $30 with free shipping. There should be 12 left. I bought the last two dimmers I needed.

I just wanted to post my satisfaction with Z-wave. My implementation is pretty low-impact, in comparison with some of what I've read on here. So far, I've added a Vera 2 controller, two CA8900 thermostats, and two dimmers. I have several dimmers & switches ready to install, as well as a...

I just purchased two Monster IWC600 in-wall scene controllers: ...and I'm wondering if the Leviton label kit will fit: Clearly, the LEDs are in a different location, but I believe the switches are identical. If not, I'm looking for a Monster relabel kit & I haven't been able to find one...

I just bought two of these by putting in an offer of $37.50. My initial offer of $35.00 was automatically declined, while $37.50 was automatically accepted. Maybe you can try something in between & save a few pennies. Free shipping, too! I've been keeping an eye out for these, but I only...

I'm installing Vizia RF/legacy Monster switches (not the RF+ or most recent versions) throughout my home, and I was thinking about using non-RF/non-Z-wave remote switches in my three-way circuits. Aside from not repeating Z-wave commands as part of the network, are there any other limitations I...

I've recently installed two thermostats that are responding correctly to a scene on a weekday timer that cools the house when I come home and shuts off the AC during the day when I'm at work. Let's say I have another scene called "vacation" that I want to trigger when I leave for more than a...

I've just broken into Z-wave with a Vera2 and two CA8900 thermostats for two different HVAC units. Next up is a Kwikset deadbolt & some dimmers. I'm wondering about the use of a Novitas 01-160 for monitoring activity/motion in the entryway to turn on/off lights. Has anyone used this device?

I'm looking into Z-wave capable deadbolts, and the Kwikset is in the lead due to its motorized deadbolt. I have a question I haven't been able to find an answer to in the installation manual or by searching here... and it is this: The Kwikset deadbolt can be configured to send a notification...
