Review on Remotec ZRC-90US & BW8510US | Cert ID ZC10-15100007 by Brandon Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great scene controller but a little tricky to install and set up on Vera Edge

Just to clarify, this scene controller actually generates 32 events when installed on my Vera Edge, they are as follows: Key 1 , short press = 1, button 1, quick double press = 2, button 1, long press = 3, button 1, long press release = 4. Button 2, short press = 5, button 2, quick double press = 6, button 2 , long press = 7, release button 2 after long press = 8. Short press button 8 = 29, quickly press button 8 twice = 30, long press button 1 = 31, release button 1 after long press = 32. I implement the alternative Vera's event system to capture and forward these events. The problem I have with the ZRC-90US is that Vera Edge does not automatically add the sl_CentralSceneAttr or sl_CentralScene variables which are required for the ZRC-90US to function properly. The following is the process I used to turn on the ZRC-90US: While turning it on, press the "L" key three times. As soon as it's on. Navigate to the ZRC-90 controller device, use the Commands tab and select Configure node now. This must be done at the same time as repeatedly pressing the "w" key until the device is updated. Then go to the "Select device button scenes” tab and click on "Assign scenes to buttons”. You should now see the sl_CentralSceneAttr or sl_CentralScene variables. , under the Advanced tab -> Variables, indicating that the scene controller is working correctly.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • There are nuances
