My setup
So far, I have a Vera 3 controller from MiCasaVerde, and several Z-Wave outlets and light switches. I also have the Yale Z-Wave deadbolt and I really like what I have going so far. I have a lot more work to do, but it is getting there. I like the fact that the more Z-Wave devices you have, the more reliable it becomes because each device serves as a repeater, as far as I understand it. I also do not advise the IRIS system from Lowe's, but fortunately, the UI7 update to Vera adds support for the Linear/IRIS garage door module, which was the only unit which had me interested in IRIS in the first place. I am going to install those on my garage doors soon. The thought of geo-fenced triggers is especially interesting... I think it is pretty neat that your garage door will just automatically open for me when I get close to the house.
