I just bought hs2 and am figuring it all out. I bought a couple of evolve appliance modules and they work great with my hometroller. I have some locks that are not set up yet. Now, my questions...
1. I want to be able to flip a switch and make an appliance modules (connected to a lamp) turn on right away. From what I understand this requires having "instant status" or else there will be a delay until the switch is polled. So, I can't buy Jasco or evolve switches if I want there to be immediate action of floor lamps turning on when I hit the wall switch which is hardwired to the ceiling. Is this all true? (Does the scene class make up for this?)
2. I have 4 sets of lights in my kitchen. 2 are 3 way, 2 are normal. All are fluorescent, non-dimmable. I want to set them up so 1 press of a wall controller will immediately turn them (a) all on, (b) 3 of 4 on, or (c) all off. I like the look of the leviton and cooper controllers, but I am not understanding if they will be able to send immediate commands to the GE or evolve switches. It seems as though I am going to have to set them up so they send the signals outside of homeseer, right?
3. Will it work to have 2 or even 3 of the wall controllers in the kitchen so my wife can choose her scene from whereever she happens to be?
4. Will these late nights of reading and re-reading until 3am end or will I just buy more and more z-wave gadgets until I die poor but controlled?
