[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1136680, member: 17766"] Thanks for the detailed info (y), also read that depending on your region in the world the Z-wave frequency will be different due to local regulations so ordering them online can get a bit tricky. For now looking at German suppliers as the Dutch ones are either overpriced or don't have any of the new stuff in stock, just the old Z-wave hardware from > 3 years ago. Heard good things about Vera but was also looking into the DIY solutions as you can easily upgrade those, like rPI2 + Z-wave shield but for the controlling end Vera seems better. There's a fairly new open-source solution called Domoticz which does seem to have all the basics right: [URL]http://domoticz.com/[/URL] Will look at the HomeSeer stuf as well :) [/QUOTE]
