Other than the Aeotec ones, does anybody know any other products out there that are Gen 7? Where did Habitat get their Gen 7 interface for their hub? In other posts I've commented on how much better the battery life is for the Aeotec Gen 7 door contacts. Gen 7 brags of 10 year battery life. While I need to see it to believe it, even half that would be awesome. If once both ends are Gen 7 between the hub and the device speed/range is supposed to be quite improved too.
There are a few things I'd still like to convert to z-wave and a bunch things I use like motion detectors I get tired of replacing batteries in, but knowing they're coming seem to make buying anything Gen 2 a bad investment. Waiting has never been a strong suit for me, but I've already replaced 90% of my original z-wave light switches and while there will always be "something" better coming, I'd like to think for what they cost it's not something I have to do every 5 years for eternity and becomes something I only replace when they die.
Sorry for the rant.
