Is there support for the Zwave ZCU101?

[fearingsept]

I know there was a new driver released. I just need to know if there is support for the ZCU101. I am getting ready to order my zwave components and just want to make sure I get supported hardware.

There is, but do yourself a favour:

Go here: http://shop.micasaverde.com/

select Misc

and get the MCV USB stick, OR

Get a Tricklestar USB stick.

Stay away from ACT hardware at all costs.

is there a reason why I should stay away from ACT hardware.. is it just crappy?

[tschak909]

it is _INSANELY_ shitty. Badly engineered, all of the above.

is there? nobody cares to read the wiki, I invest much time updating z-wave bits there :-))

Actually.. I did read the wiki... sadly.... it was after I asked the question but before I got any answers. The only thing I saw on the hardware I happened to look at was "working" except the USB version. I didn’t know if the wiki was up to date because of the release of the new driver. The wiki  had no real information that told me about the quality. And as a person who often gets really really excited and makes rash decisions... I ordered right before I posted. So I am calling tomorrow to cancel and see if I can refund and change my order.
It is my fault for not asking first.

So which is best?

Model #: ML LD300 Monster Light Dimmer Module

Model #: HA03C Intermatic Z-Wave Plug-in Lamp Module

Model #: INTHA03C Intermatic Homeset. Z-Wave Plug-In Lamp Module

The last two are basically the same. Intermatic is the budget line, and does very well honestly. If you're starting out, these devices are okay.

Monster devices are built a little bit better, but there is definitely a large mark-up.

For high end devices, I tend to like the Vizia stuff.
