Anyone successfully controlled a Z-wave lighting systems with an RP-6 and RS-232?? I see Leviton makes this RS-232 controllable unit:

And I've found the serial commands for it. Wonding if anyone has used this or something similar and what your results have been??

Is the next gen controller from RTI going to support Z-wave or was it Zigbee?? I see Z-wave is gaining a lot of momentum...with thermostats, motion & door sensors,etc. I'm not seeing much of anything Zigbee-wise.

I will be in a few weeks but with AMX

The leviton vizia system is a snap to install, program, and operate using RS232, after you get past how to use the Leviton setup remote its really quite simple

Thanks. Do you know if you can control (1 way) any of the z-wave thermostats via RTI and the Vizia interface? Would love to add some simple commands to my touchpads. If so, can you point me in the right direction on any info on controlling a thermostat.

Thanks.

Anyone able to post a link to the 232 protocol or able to email me a rti or protocol file.

Thanks.

Pretty simple:

>N2ON - Node 2 On
>N2L50 - Node 2 to 50%

The thing with the 1-way is that you need to watch how fast you send commands and not to overfill the buffer. If it was two way you would see the replies coming back like this
>N2L80,UP - Node 2 On and Update (Update is useless without 2-way)

You can control multiple nodes in one line using:
>N1,2,3,4ON

How would one set a thermostat on node 4 to 70 deg?

>N4SE67,1,2,9,70

Well..I just reiceved my RZC0P. Bad News. Looks like I can not add it to my network to test it out with my Intermatic Controller. So much for "compatible with other Z-Wave ebabled devices"...

We are having an issue with the Leviton ViziaRF products not communicating and acting as repeaters, anything with in direct communications with the RS-232 module is flawless but if it needs to pass from one switch or module to another it fails or the switch executes the command but the response back from the switch does not happen and I get an X002 RF unsuccessful on the RS232 module.
Right now we are looking for a Z-wave lighting system. We contacted Zwave.com and the gentleman there has had a lot of complaints about the Leviton stuff and is looking to send someone out to look at the system and if they can not get it to function they will be contacting Zen-sys to remove Leviton from their partnership.

I wonder, was it the older ViziaRf or the newer Vizia RF+?

We've used 4 Leviton Z-wave dimmers in one house and 4 Monster Z-Wave (built by Leviton) dimmers in our office. We couldn't reliably control the Monster dimmers from about 6 feet away, then one got stuck "on", and one of the Levitons stopped working in the other house.

Not impressed. We swapped out for RadioRa. :)

Would be interested In finding out what your problem was, I have a few of these z-wave systems in operation now, and have never had a single problem with any of it.

I have a Leviton Vizia RF+ 4-Button Scene Controller Model (VRCS4-1LX) that is IR control capable.

I purchased the available Leviton IR remote and using the IR-Pro learned the codes into the ID ir library manager database, I am using an RP-6 and a T2-C.

The problem is that I can call all of the four "scenes" if I place one of the four available scene IR commands on a button, however the same "scene command codes" will not work in a macro.

Any ideas as to why these IR codes will work on a button and not when included in a macro?

Thanks!

I have no experince with the IR interface, We only use the RS232 interface which has been very reliable for us. However, are you using standalone mode to send the commands to the VRCS4-1LX or are you using an emitter via the RP-6? I would put 4 test buttons in stand alone mode on the T2c and then put the vizia IR commands in the individual macros as a test bed first to try and identify the issue, using just the remote pointed at the VRCS4-1LX


It may also help if you put the commands on the RP-6 as system macros, this has solved similar problems I have had with other devices
