Christmas has come around again and I find myself stuck controlling lights and trees, as my modified RFXCom unit failed during the year and it was going to be far too costly to repair. Not only that it was a nightmare to implement because of the heavy customisation to get it working with the UCM Ethernet. So I find myself looking for a new method to remotely control appliances.
I require Comfort to control plug in 240v appliances, not lighting as I have CBUS.
What's the consensus here on the best system today? I have a spare UCM/Ethernet now, but I'm not against a 12v Comfort switched system over CAT5 to locally control a 240v unit but I didn't find anything (shame).
LightwaveRF?ZWave? (I'd need to buy the UCM tho, I'd rather not)X10 very unreliable in my house, so discountedAnything else?
Looking to all your experts out there!
Thanks
