Does anyone make a wired scene controller. We are remodeling our house and it would be simple to hard wire the scene controllers. I prefer to not have to depend on batteries.
I am using leviton scene controller

Naturally, Vera can be used to sense the activation of many switches and subsequently trigger scenes. However, here are a few hardware scene controllers to get you started. Many others exist, if you go searching.
GE 45631 Z-Wave Wireless Keypad Controller - Battery Operated
Leviton VRCS4-M0Z Vizia RF + 4-Button Remote Scene Controller
Leviton VRCS2-MRZ Vizia RF + 2-Button Scene Controller with Switches
Leviton VRCS1-1LZ Vizia RF + 1-Button Scene Controller/Virtual Switch Remote
Evolve Z-Wave Wall Mounted 5-Button LCD Controller
Edit: Indicate that the GE controller is battery operated.
Z-Waver: thanks for your reply. I like the look of the GE but it’s a wireless unit. I’d like one that doesn’t depend on a battery.
Keep the suggestions coming.
Leviton makes probably the most combinations, as indicated earlier.
Cooper also makes scene controllers (although I have never used them).

It’s more work, but you could always use Insteon KeypadLincs + PLM/Altsteon, even without Insteon responder devices (response time would be slower, since Vera would have to do all the work). The benefits are cost savings ($80/unit and that includes a dimmer or on/off switch embedded).
