Back in January 2016 our post Say Hello, Z-Wave Goodbye seemed to strike a chord with readers. We wrote…
…even though Z-Wave is a ‘standard’ there’s a growing problem that needs to be addressed. every time a new gadget is introduced you have to ask yourself – is this supported in my Z-Wave setup?
Well, now one of the UK’s largest wise house retailers has started to reveal their irritation too. Here’s the final thought from their recent round-up of new Z-Wave devices…
To be frank, we’re truly dissatisfied with exactly how the gadget as well as controller manufacturers stop working to work together to ensure that their gadgets work completely out-of-the-box in the most typical controllers!
This isn’t a new circumstance by any type of means, it’s been such as this for many years as well as we discover ourselves asking the exact same concern over as well as over once again – precisely exactly how many gadgets do they expect to offer if they don’t work in any type of of the controllers? It doesn’t matter one jot if the gadget is “technically compliant” if it DOES NOT WORK!
It seems absolutely crazy to us that this circumstance continues to occur, it’s not like these gadgets are dreamed up on a Friday night as well as roll out the factory on a Monday morning to hit the retailer shelves the complying with day! gadgets such as this normally take months as well as months to develop, why not work with the controller manufacturer during that time to ensure that the gadgets work completely when they go on sale?
Sadly it seems that our constant pleas are ignored as well as that we’ll have to bumble together with the method things are for the foreseeable future
Now, it’s one thing for Automated house to criticise the situation, we’ve no skin in the game.
But when a business like Vesternet, whose livelihood depends upon selling Z-Wave, starts to show their irritation publicly like this, then surely it’s a quite strong indication that something’s terribly wrong.
Z-Wave has ended up being just one more frustrating wise house system, full of compatibility complications for house owners.
So Z-Wave, exactly how are you going to repair this, as well as fast?
