So my home will have less than 50 connected devices on the high end assuming I don’t need any outlets. Cameras and alarm system, etc are separate. I don’t see a need for ZWave Plus.
I really like the look of the cooper switches (both styles actually), and read that the dimmer features ‘feels nicer’ than the leviton models.
All of my three way lighting circuits are wires as such:
(Power into the 3/4 gang box using 2 wire, 2 wire running to the lighting fixture(s), and 3 wire running from the main switch to the aux switch)
In this scenario it sounds like I can use either the Leviton or the cooper for a 3 way installation. I can power the aux cooper switch with the 3 wire spicing into a power source at the main box so the switch has power to it.
Is there a preferred model number for the cooper switches that is the most advanced/ recent in terms of features and technology?
It looks like the RF9501-DW is going to be my pick (decorator’s white). It really isn’t anymore expensive than the GE switches though - I was thinking I was looking at the wrong Cooper switch, expecting to pay 75-100 dollars vs $45-50.
