Picked up a VeraEdge mostly to control our thermostat remotely. …got everything link up and running with no issues.
Now I’m exploring other ways I would like to use it
A couple of questions…
I’m looking at a couple standard wall switches to control lights (non-dimming…non-3way) on 2 different wired circuits…about as basic as you can get. As best I can tell I need to purchase 2 ‘main’ switches? I see there are quiet a few on the market in the $35-$40 range. Any suggestions on with ones?
I also need advice on 4 20A wall switches. Each switch will be control 8 standard wall outlets that will have 8 arcade games on them. I would like to use a standard wall switch (manual on\off and z-wave). I see the Evolve LSM-20 is exactly what I’m looking for. But reading here there seems to be an issue with that manufacture switch failing. Are there any others (GE maybe?) out there that I just can’t find?
Thanks!
While I have had no problem recommending Evolve switches(made by Linear now Nortek, also branded 2Gig and GoControl). But, the LSM-20 is long discontinued and has been replaced by the LSM-15 which is only 15 Amps, so I’m not sure that you’ll find them outside of sketch sources.
I’m presently unaware of any 20 amp capable Z-Wave wall switches. There are some in wall relay modules, not switches, that can handle 20 amps. The GoControl FS20Z-1 Isolated Contact Fixture Module is a good example of this.
Thanks Z-wave! I did find that relay switch a while ago. I do like the ability to manually turn the switch on…which I don’t think this has.
Any idea why the 20A switch was discontinued? I found a place that I cn purchase them from…but don’t want to risks safety issue
