Title: ZWave-device (interface) support in future?
Post by: archived on October 08, 2006, 02:32:06 pm
In Pluto v2.0.0.40 there is a mention:

"ZWave support is more reliable, it can use binary switches and multilevel switches. And support for some other type of devices is comming."

Does anyone know what will be the supported devices in future? I'm looking for some alternatives since ACT USB-interface is reported to have problems and also ACT is currently developing a new version of ZCU010, but this is scheduled for 2007..  Below is some additional information:

"We do not yet have available the Zwave USB Interface for Europe & UK.  These units are undergoing major changes and  the manufacturer, ACT,  has not yet released them.  ACT had originally projected June as a release date, however, they now tell us August."

"The ACT product manager emailed today with an estimated release time for the USB Interface for Europe. He estimates release the first quarter of 2007."

Hi,

We have several ACT ZCU010's working on our systems all sourced from the UK. So they are readilly available and they work fine. As to new supported features you'll need to wait for a Pluto person to respond.

By early 2007 their will be several alternatives to choose from to act as SUC's attached to the Core.
