    Does Hometroller Zee support Gen5

    Can anyone advise whether Hometroller Zee S2 supports this device?
    There's a caution at the bottom of the product page that says:

    ** Very important note: Your Zwave controller must support series 500 Gen 5 Zwave and we strongly recommend you check with the controller vendor/manufacturer to confirm compatibility to get the most from this product including light levels, etc.

    https://www.aartech.ca/aeotec-zw098-...able-bulb.html

    This could come in quite handy where neither a plug-in controller nor wall switch fit the bill.

    Thanks

    Short answer is yes your good!

    Longer anwser is Series 500 or gen 5 brakes down in layman's terms to "Z-wave Plus". Yes the Z's are "Z-wave Plus" But also not just like everything else there is more to it . Just because both the device and controller are z-wave and or z-wave plus doesn't 100% mean they work perfectly together. HomeSeer has to be setup software wise to understand and work with that device also depending on what it is and what features it offers. Homeseer sales is setup to work with these bulbs.

        Support of Gen5 has NOTHING to do with supporting this bulb.
        I emailed aartech support to let them know that they are incorrect.
        The question is, does the hub support Z-Wave Color Switch Command Class which is how you set the different colors.
        HS3 does support it so you're all set if you use HST.
