Hi guys,
I have just installed around 10 Z-Wave modules in my house, all Qubino brand: A couple of dimmers, a couple of 2-relay modules and some single relay modules. The Z-Wave controller I'm using is a 5th gen. Aeon Z-Wave stick. The software I'm currently running is Domoticz, because I could easily install in on my NAS (FreeNAS, 8x Xeon, 128GB RAM: No problem there).
And I have to give it to them: I am really amazed how pretty-piss-poorly this stuff works. They must have put some real effort in to make it this bad. When clicking an icon on the webpage a single time, the light immediately responds. But when switching on a second light a second later, it takes around 10 seconds to respond. And when switching on three lights, with one second intervals and switching them off again with a one second intervals, the system gets completely confused: Lights don't respond at all, or do respond half a minute later, but don't update their status. It's a real drama.
Is this behavior 'normal', ie. as good as it gets? Because if it is, I'll be ripping everything out tonight, to return it for a full refund while I still can. I'm getting real Xanura/X10 flashbacks here, just what I feared when I started this project.
Does anybody have better/worse experiences?
Thanks!
