Good evening All,
My first post.
I have been fooling around with Home Automation for quite a while, I say fooling around, simply because I neither have the knowledge, programming skills or electronic expertise to do much, so I always look for the simplest Hardware/Software combination I can buy in order to accomplish what I wish to achieve.
I now have an Ocelot, which has been good to me, but now I want more, this is where the HomeTroller ZEE comes in, I wish to switch over in that direction but have some questions, which I hope some of you can answer.
1 ) Would you buy another HomeTroller ZEE, knowing what you know now.
2 ) Can the X-10 and Z-wave co-exist and operate under the same HomeTroller ZEE
3 ) I know that the Z-Wave dongle is supplied with the HomeTroller ZEE, but what required in order to send and receive the X-10 signals.
4 ) Now to software, I know that thr HomeTroller ZEE comes with the HS Touch lite, is that all the software that is needed, to set scenes, schedules, and ( If and Then ) operation, I noticed on some post people used HS2 and HS3, I am confused about this issue.
5 ) Can the HomeTroller ZEE, listen for X-10 commands or Z-Wave commands, I ask because there are multitude of sensors transmitting Z-Wave based on preditermined conditions.
6 ) Is the HomeTroller ZEE, equiped to check sensor status.
Well I guess this is it for my first post, I would really appreciate your assistance, in order to make decision, as to ( To buy or not to buy HomeTroller ZEE )
