Please log in for more thread options I haven't tried them but would suggest you need some minimum spacing between network nodes (I think 20-25'). You might also try less expensive sources. AutomatedOutlet.com lists a 600W Vizia return-to-neutral dimmer switch for under $20. I have no idea how these differ from the more expensive models but Martin Custer, the owner of AutomatedOutlet, has always proven to know what he's talking about (unlike some other dealers) so I suggest you ask him.

See... There is Vizia and there is ViziaRF. Externally identical but the former not contain Z-wave. $20 dimmers are Vizia, not Vizia RF | |||||||||||||
