Steve,
Do you know of the HC2 can link to an IR system at all? I.e. Receive an IR
=
code via a module/gateway of some kind and then perform an action based on
=
that.
Cheers,
Paul.

Here is a link to some Z-Wave switches listed on Vesternet.

I believe most of these type of switches can have direct association with

With regards to your comment 'the ideal is to not use hard wired switches'

I'm not sure I agree. I prefer hardware switches because you don't have

Good luck with it

Perfect thanks both, I think the way i'll handle this is by setting a
brief=
on command at say 0600 at full brightness so that after that point if anyo=
ne uses the light switch they'll get full brightness.
Guess the ideal is to not use hard wired switches i.e. that someone
presses=
the switch, command goes to Indigo, it decides what action to take based o=
n time of day etc and then instructs the light accordingly. Downside of
tha=
t obviously is that the lightswitch doesn't work if Indigo or the mac
isn't=
working for any reason. Not good for WAF!
Do such switches exist for zwave? Guess i'm thinking along the lines of
the=
X10 stick a switch that I still use today for a few things and it works gr=
eat!
Cheers both, i'm placing my order on Vesternet today for my first wave
good=

units. Now to find a 2 gang light switch with 1 momentary and one toggle
sw=
