Hi all
I'm currently planning the construction of a new house and need to think about electrical installations / automation. I'm playing with the idea of mixing Insteon with Z-Wave. In particular, I'd like to use Leviton LED-compatible dimmers and Remotec ZXT-120 IR extenders to control the mini split A/Cs. Unfortunately, Z-Wave doesn't seem to have anything that compares to Insteon's wall keypads. So I'd like to use the keypads to remote control the Z-Wave dimmers and other devices. While I understand that this should be possible through Indigo, my question is if I could expect this setup to be reliable and usable. By "usable" I mean, will there be a considerable delay between a button press on the Insteon and the responce of the Z-Wave device? I could imagine that if there is a significant delay, this might make dimming to the desired level a hit and miss.
Any other issues with this setup? Better alternatives?
Thanks
PS: Most probably, not all of the Insteon keypads would have a load connected. I understand that the other buttons can still be used, correct?
