Just found these

Pricey, but finally a manufacture who understands that people paying a premium for home automation want something with a bit of industrial design invested in it, rather than bargain basement plastic (ACT) or something that looks like a design student intern project (Qees).

Site confirms they are zwave, that thet don’t need a neutral and that they are available now.

I’m going to get some full specs, but seriously considering these.

I wish we had options like this in the US. These look great.

I keep threatening to move from the US to a civilized country. This certainly adds to my motivation.

Hopefully it marks a turning point in zwave choice for us in Europe, the choice is abysmal at the moment, we finally got a thermostat suitable for EU zwave last month - hrt zw from horseman (doesn’t actually work with Vera, but hey, apparently it might with the ‘upcoming’ firmware. (got one, and waiting hopefully).

has anyone tried these devices with vera? i am anxious to know if they work

i am looking at the 6 button switch. Will it be advertised in vera as 6 switches?

Thanks

I love the weather but until they come up with the flying car or a teleportation device I’ll never truly be happy in SoCal. At least the subway helped a bit but no comparison to the underground.

Guys Any idea about Watt ratings on these devices? are they 2-wire? 3-wire? there is no info nor datasheets on the site

European devices typically work on two wired 230 Volts/50hz.
They also have a different mounting form factor than North American devices.

We need to simply beg the company to make a North American product. :slight_smile:
