Customer Reviews

Good basic z-wave dimmer
Pros:

1) no neutral needed

2) low cost

3) as expected, works with other brands of controllers

Cons:

1) can't be part of scene

2) only 300 watt capacity

3) local rocker switch always controls local light (no way to decouple for external scene controller)

I also have some HA18C switches, which DO leak current, and make my CF lamps flicker.

I'd recomment this model for basic uses, but some other brand for situations where scene control are appropriate.

Also consider the HA18C
The HA06 is great and was a snap to set up with my Harmony 890, but it was controlling a fluorescent light. In the off position most Z-Wave devices leak a bit of voltage (this is not unique to the HA06 nor does it affect normal lights) which causes fluorescent lights to flicker. The Intermatic Home Settings Three-Way In-Wall Switch #HA18C (search for B000WS4SIU) may be a better choice if you have compact fluorescents or other low wattage lighting installed.

Home automation made simple
I had an X-10 automation system put in my kitchen remodeling project and it died about three years later. X-10 is subject to a great deal of interference and is a technology no longer worth investing in since there's Z-Wave. My Z-Wave system has worked flawlessly and with modules like these it's easy to add automation all around the house.
