vera Edge Z Wave Legal Indian Freq 865.2MHz Wireless Home Automation (Black)

I am sure the product is fine but the one delivered to me was the US frequency so it is practically useless in India. Therefore the title is misleading. The support from seller was unhelpful and they were pretty rude as well. Pro tip: Don't throw away anything inside the box including the cable ties and plastic covers.

Bedienung ist eigentlich intuitiv - man lernt die Geräte an und kann sie dann bestimmten Räumen und Szenarien zuordnen. Ist ein Gerät nicht mit dem Produktnamen aufgeführt, kann auf ein ähnliches ausgewichen werden; D-Link oder devolo werden nicht aufgelistet (mehr asiatische oder amerikanische brands) aber da die meisten z-wave Geräte nur mit einem anderen Namen versehen sind, kann man eines mit gleichem Funktionsumfang nehmen (falls das falsche genommen einfach löschen und neu zuordnen).ABER alles ist in Englisch geschrieben inkl. aller Manuals oder Hilfeseiten UND beim Anmelden an das Gerät wird die Konfiguration über einen Internet-link geroutet, d.h. kein direkter Zugriff ohne Internet-Verbindung. Das ist eigentlich nicht besonders sicher ... Daher ein Stern Abzug.Die Firma sitzt in Asien, daher Kontakt auch nur in Englisch.

J'ai remplacé ma Vera Lite par une Vera Edge en arrivant au Canada (pas les mêmes fréquences) et j'en suis très content là aussi !La box répond bien et les nouvelles interfaces sont bien plus claires qu'avant.J'y ai aussi relié Alexa (Amazon Echo) et tout fonctionne parfaitement.Un très bon produit :)

Works great for my lights and switches

Fiancé didn’t like it for its connectabilty

I've been using my Vera 2 system since 2011 and upgraded to this new Vera Edge. I bought it in early Feb and added a few devices. I ran both Veras concurrently and waited for the firmware version 7.0.5 that came out early March to do the full upgrade to try to avoid issues. Upgrade went fine. Looks like they fixed a lot of things in the release notes. My device count has built up thru the years. I've got at least 15+ z-wave devices, 5 Dimmer and light switches (ge, schlage, leviton), 2 Trane Thermostats, 2 first alerts smoke detectors, 2 GE outdoor modules [great for x-mas lights], Aeon & Everspring water sensors, 2 Schlage door sensors, 1 siren, a few panasonic webcams connected via IP. Some brands work great, others I returned.I did my research on deciding which new z-wave controller to buy and don't see a clear leader but a lot of promise. So I decided to go with this controller. Its a good upgrade from my old vera 2 system and it seems like they're still putting resources into enhancing it and fixing its issues. Hopefully they don't stop since it has a lot of promise. I'm still getting use to the UI7 gui. It seems simpler compared to old UI5 interface (good thing). The adding device wizard is nice, it tells you how to pair the devices so you don't have to dig up the old instruction manual. Alerting works fine, I have a attic humidifer and when the line freezes, it leaks so that's saved me a few times with alerts to the app and a txt message.It doesn't come with an instruction book so you'll need to hit their website on how to do some stuff if you're new to this. I don't have a problem with this, this is not a mechanical device like a lawn mower. Most electronics don't come with paper instructions nowadays plus things are always changing with each firmware upgrade. My apple stuff didn't come with documentation on how to use it.Pros:-Can work without internet or if its down. I don't want to be dependent on cloud providers. What happens when the internet or provider goes down? It does need to connect to the internet to sync its internal clock on reboot.-Upgrade from Vera 2 went pretty well. I had to wakeup or re-pair some of the battery powered devices. I ran the Repair/Heal a few times.-Supports Z-wave Plus for the newer devices-3 weeks after full upgrade, still working, i haven't had to do any reboots or re-pair. <crossing my fingers>Cons:-No wifi client, you'll need to drag a ethernet cable around to pair. I wonder if the range to pair has increased? The wifi is currently a wifi access point (not a client). Hopefully a firmware release will change this.-iOS app needs work. Can't change thermostat settings thru app and it doesn't always get the latest update. I would turn a light on and the app thinks its still off. I change temperatures, it says it changed it but the thermostat still has the old number. My workaround is to just hit the Vera device's IP address directly.-Annoying device not responding messages. I have to figure out how to get rid of these or change the polling frequency.
