Yet another wireless dimming system. It's quite nice. The round switch is quite different.

I have one. It can control 4 channels (multiple lights on each channel is possible) and have 4 scenes. The scenes dim up and down very nicely. If you set the controller to control scenes you can't control each light individually but you can dim the scene as a whole. You could have a 2nd controller set to control the individual channels but this controller can't control the scenes.

Within limits its pretty good. You can't use any other remote with it though. you would be stuck with the round one (which is basically the wall switch in a different case)

They are basically a stripped down version of the Rako system. they have some of the functionality missing but are a reasonable amount cheaper. unfortunately they are not inter-compatible. If the limitations of the system don't concern you then they should be a very good way of doing things.

Very limited and quite basic which hence its price is expected it cant interface to anythign else and there is no choice in switch gear there are some better Z-wave units. from Innovus
