interesting, it looks like you spent a lot of time on it, congrats on launching. Did you also consider using zwave over zigbee? I've been looking at installing a zwave hub and a few light switches, motion sensors and thermostat. Care to compare/contrast?

Thanks, Z-Wave is also a good technology but I hate the "association" part, when you need to be at least 3 feets from the Hub. I don't think Z-Wave will survive in the next 5 years. Look at Philips Hue, they also chose ZigBee.
