Hi Chiu,
I've been gradually rolling out ZWave to my house over the last few months and using the latest Zwave firmware as you've released as you know.
I just want to say one thing......THANK YOU!
It's great and I just wish you'd had the UCM earlier as I would never have bothered dabbling with X10 and all of it's inherent reliability problems.
I love the way I'm getting almost immediate status reports back through Comfort which, I'm showing via my Comfort Client software (as you'd expect ) is absolutely brilliant. Whether I turn on at the switch or via software the feedback status is within seconds.
I wanted something that I could retrofit (I did have to run extra neutral wire and replace backboxes with 40mm deep versions but hey that's now done!) and be able to revert back to normal switches easily if I every moved. I couldn't afford CBUS, or even some of the other solutions such as RAKO which were still around £200 per switch (effectively) from my investigations, but Zwave stuff (I use ACT Homepro) is actually affordable and great. Your personal advice on this forum pushing me down this route is well appreciated....thanks!
All I can say to others if you are considerimg then buy this UCM and get started.
I buy my Zwave stuff incidentally from Letsautomate in the UK as they are pleasant to deal with and in most instances they deliver promptly within a day or two (I've absolutely no connection with them by the way so not an advert, just my experiences!).
Zwave is great I love it, so thanks for making the integration with Comfort so..oo painless and the possibilities are endless once integrated as we all know.
I look forwards to subsequent firmware release and any new functionality with relish!
Well done.
Regards
Julian

Thanks for your feedback. There finally seems to be more manufacturers rolling out Z-Wave products so there may be more to choose from before too long, hopefully
