Shady, have you gotten any further in your testing with these new Somfy Z-Wave products? I have been in contact with the National TaHomA Sales Manager to answer some of the same questions you have posed here… I am hoping she will get back with me soon, as I am in the middle of evaluating/purchasing a new primary controller. (Savant vs HAI vs Vera 3 vs HomeTroller-Mini) I really am a DYI type of guy at heart, but I really just want a stable control system…
Do you know if the TaHomA controller’s Z-wave chip supports “Beaming”? It doesn’t seem like a very “Total Home Automation” controller if it does/can’t support Z-wave locks!
Really looking forard to getting some Somfy Shades installed in my place soon, any help you could offer in making these decisions would be great!
