Support for Kichler 15DC300 Landscape Lighting Controller

The Kichler 15DC300 Landscape Lighting Controller is z-wave compatible and can control up to 6 lighting zones for a total of 300 watts. Documentation indicates it works with Vera and the Vera App. Would be great to have support for this device either through a plugin or direct through Indigo. Landscape lighting control, other than through separate transformers and switches for each zone, doesn't seem to have been addressed through Indigo.

From a brief look at the docs, that device wants to be either a Primary or Secondary Z-Wave controller - Indigo doesn't support secondary controllers and the serial Z-Wave interface must be the primary.

While it might be possible to get it added as a secondary controller, the docs contain no information about how to control the zones via Z-Wave commands. I'm not sure what the Vera integration does or where they got their info, but doing an integration with Indigo is likely to be a lot of work (which means we won't likely do it). I'm also not sure that a 3rd party plugin could do it.

It might be possible to control it via the Vera Bridge plugin and a Vera controller if the lighting zones are presented as standard on/off devices in the Vera.
