Hello, One of the big things for me is to get rid of the insteon 6 button and 8 button controllers, I have almost a 100% failure rate over the years and only have 2 left in the home at this time. Wife would kill me if I installed a new one! I have replaced the bad ones with the new z-wave plus switches and am going without some of the flexibility of the other buttons for now. I am hoping for the ability to soon be able to use the double and triple tap features, that would solve the vast majority of scenes as on most of the insteon controllers I was not using all the buttons. In switching over to z-wave I am just going to stick with the gen 5 product. Up until now there did not seem to be any gen 5 scene controllers but the ZRC-90 seems like it is working at least with your plug-in. It seems that the software took a big leap in supporting z-wave in version 7. Hopefully this will continue! So the question for Howartp is will this plug in work with future scene controllers (gen 5) that may likely be coming out soon? I know the cooper switches are being converted over although not sure of the time frame. My supplier sells the current version.
Thanks for any info. For Matt and Jay, I would like to throw in my 2 cents for a version that would run on something like a Raspberry Pi. I have been a Mac person since the plus but lately Apple has me a little baffled as to what they are doing! Anyway it looks like I may make the switch soon in spite of that.
Thanks
Peter
