Please log in for more thread options it up, I discover there is a delay between pressing the button on the remotelink and the light turning on/off. This is one of the things I hate about x10. Very disappointed insteon also has this problem. Does z-wave have this delay? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options wiring? If so it should be almost instantaneous. As you add more Insteon devices response gets better. In checking my own installation, it takes less than half a second from the time I click on or off till the light responds. I am clicking on my PC screen and going over ethernet to the controller. If I do it from a button on a ControlLinc it's even faster. peter wrote: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If I do it from a button on a ControlLinc it's even faster. Bruce, Yup ;-) I shoulda mentioned the phase ("leg") requirement. My experience is similar yours. In the bedroom setup where everything is physically and electrically close together, the 'delay' is virtually imperceptible -- comparable to the travel time of the switch being depressed. By the time my finger is quite convinced that the button is fully pushed, the ON or OFF has happened. ...

I am _very_ pleased. Truly "INSTANT-ON ". Much better than X-10 in my experience. INSTEON has issues, but RF remote response lag isn't one of them in my experience. *** A#1 ** : You are using INSTEON in the INSTEON, NOT X-10 mode, right? Also, 2) And you have you removed all the old X-10 stuff, right? 3) And you don't have RF interference in the 900 mhz 4) And you have performed an initial of the "kit" (which one ?) with the remote, receiver and light being controlled in the same room ? You haven't described your system in sufficient detail to know what the issue(s) might be. Give us a bit more to work with. You may be experiencing more hops than necessary. And as with all RF remote control, there are range limitations. (I have no experience with Z-wave. Typically there will be one or more folks in comp.home.automation who also haven't, but who will express their judgment nonetheless ...) ...

opinion of what they might post despite you not giving a shit what he thinks somebody else will think. But this is his "in" to advertise and promote his own sales, in disguise. Marc_O_Cult is called a "Spamming toll". His accuracy leaves much to be desired. >
