    Anything you’d do differently after getting into it?

    I can’t think of anything glaring. I started small with clear goals (door locks & basic family area lighting) and built up from there to include a security system, most of the lights in the house, the garage door, and some cameras. It will be really hard to go back to “normal” :).

    If you have a huge house Z-Wave’s range might be an issue, but it wasn’t for me and there are workarounds (e.g. multiple orchestrated controllers) so I still think that Z-Wave is the right technology and Mi Casa Verde Vera the right controller in most cases. I plan to pick up another Vera and start over w/ UK kit when they get refreshed in a couple months.
