I wonder if there are some guidelines about how many z-wave devices (30 - 50 - 75) per Z-Net controller. I get there can't be an absolute number due to transmission rates, instant status, polling, etc. but I wonder if there are some rough guesses. I have 32 nodes now on my HS3-Znet S6 Hometroller system. Just for background 19 devices are 40kps, and 9 that are 9.6 kps and 4 that are 100kps. I have about 15 more new devices to add. Have only a few devices that I poll.
Overall I am tickled pink with the Z-Net and S6 Hometroller HA a big improvement from my HS2and really old Hometroller. The include node between HS3 and Z-Net is now good enough that I no longer need to pre-address the devices using a temp wiring whip kludge near the Z-Troller. The Z-Net response is great and connectivity to devices better than with the Z-Troller. Whilie I'm still a bit numb from the learning curve especially since I'm a neophyte non-technical goomba is really tough. I do hope they don't do the same dance with the migration to HS4 (Think the migration for HS1 to HS2) and I hope that is a long way off because I simply won't be capable of undertaking that effort as I will be way too old and decrepit.
I still have a few odds and ends to deal with but HS3 and Z-Net are good enough and I assume will only get better.
