5/6/2023 0 Comments Zwave shade controlSomfy has something in the works, ESI has something in the works, everyone has something in the works for Zigbee, but Z-Wave is here and working beautifully. If you are referring to Lutron coming out with a C4 Zigbee solution, that doesn't address the mid-range market (which is huge) that can't afford Lutron shades. You can't poll the shade for position with their solution and Mechoshade's motors aren't the level of quality that we need for our customers. My problem is that the Mechoshade solution is built off of the existing CardAccess dry contact controller which doesn't give any feedback or confirmation back to the C4 system. I could name a ton of other Z-Wave things that aren't Zigbee yet too, but I need a C4 compatibile solution for wireless, bi-directional, mesh network shade motor control. Zigbee may be growing, but they don't have any shade controllers. People are outfitting their homes and businesses with Z-Wave devices everyday, Control4 would be missing out on a large market by not supporting something that is relatively easy for them to add external support for. I don't want to get started in a discussion on who will prevail or if both will. There is currently a market for both, Z-Wave devices tend to be less expensive and still give you the same functionality. Everybody else is providing their products in both flavors Kwikset, Yale, etc. Even if they support limited device classes, like at the very least lighting. ![]() If the market merges and Zigbee is left standing that is fine too, but Control4 as a control company should support both. I think there may be a place for both technologies which operate very similarly. The facts are that Z-Wave works and it works very well and with a huge head start on Zigbee still this year (I was at CEDIA, were we at the same show ). If Z-Wave become the next X-10 that would be great for me personally because then I could just buy all of the devices I want for $12 a piece, but it won't because it doesn't fail like X10. ![]() ![]() My nephew could write a driver in a weekend if he had a C4 system and proper training, why hasn't C4 added support for one of the 30 USB to Z-Wave dongles out there or the many RS232 to Z-Wave interfaces? I thought "control" was the goal here, its in the name. They are demanding bi-directional communication, confirmation of movement and shade position. I know one of our suppliers is working on a motor with embedded Zigbee for C4, but that is way off and we need solutions now for a major, major client (1000s of motors). How can C4 drop the ball like this? The Z-Wave shading controllers are very simple to integrate, they operate using the Multi-Level (dimming) Switch Class, so if a current customer has Leviton Z-Wave lighting switches in their home and they want to add Control4 then they aren't able to have control of their lights? Unacceptable.Ĭurrent Zigbee shade motor controller options are very limited and only a single ended communication with no confirmation of movement. There are 5-7 different flavors and brands, but no way to interface with Control4?!?!?! Currently the only way to get wireless, bi-directional, mesh network, communication to motorized shades is through Z-Wave motor controllers.

After an ADP employment change report and ISM Services Index, traders were quickly reminded that the economy isn’t falling off a cliff and that the Fed might have to remain aggressive with its rate hiking cycle next year.īitcoin’s fundamentals still support a healthy consolidation here and that should remain the case as long as we don’t see a double dose of robust hiring on Friday and much hotter-than-expected inflation next week. The strong start to October is over and markets were quickly reminded that Fed pivot calls were premature once again. Reversal Wednesday is here and risk aversion has taken bitcoin tentatively below the $20,000 level. The early October rally might completely fade if the nonfarm payroll shows steady hiring and continued wage pressures. Traders might be disappointed if they were hoping for a sharp deterioration in hiring with the nonfarm payroll report. The ISM Services employment index rose sharply to the highest levels since March. The ADP report showed the goods-producing sector lost 29,000 jobs, while service-providing jobs showed a gain of 237,000 positions. Hiring is slowing, but it seems the service sector is still holding up. After a couple of downbeat labor data readings, the ISM manufacturing employment component fell into contraction and JOLTS data lost over a million job openings, Wall Street was starting to grow confident that a labor market slowdown had arrived. Inflation is still the driving focus and that data is not softening quickly enough.Ī private payrolls report showed 208,000 jobs were created in September, roughly in line with the 200,000 consensus estimate. īefore the end of the year, but definitely not this month, the Fed will temper its hawkish stance. If we continue to see resilience in the service sector, the Fed may have to remain aggressive with its rate hiking cycle. Deteriorating economic data is needed to drive down inflation and for the Fed to consider a slower pace of tightening. The strong start to October is over after both a private payroll report and service sector data reminded investors how strong some parts of the economy remain. The economy is too strong for the Fed to pivot. 5/5/2023 0 Comments New apartment checklist![]() The purpose of creating a checklist of all the items that you want to move from an apartment to a new place is to verify that you have in fact moved everything and there is nothing missing. bedroom furniture, kitchen utensils, pantry items, clothes, laundry items, and pillows and sheets.
