I was really looking forward to this kit since I am in a wheelchair, which at times makes controlling lights and some other devices a difficult proposition. I must first say that it was not a user-friendly installation. I found the instructions that came with the device were not as clear as they could be. So after a couple days of trying to use the instructions provided, I went to their Internet website. The manual on their website walks you through the setup process with helpful illustrations. I love technology and find building a computer easier than learning to program your first module. But after that it gets easy.Once you are able to get the system setup, a frustrating experience at first, it works quite well. I was finally able to get the remote dimmers to work easily once you learn to get the module recognized by the master controller. Now it is easy to add modules onto the system. I have a couple of medical devices I plan to add to the system that would make my life much easier. I plan to purchase additional modules. I removed batteries to see if changing them out would be a cause for me to have to reprogram the system. I am happy to report that the system remembered all its programming.The master controller has an astronomic feature so that you will not have to reset any timers for the daily changes in sunrise and sunset times. Each zone can have its own time options based daily, weekly, weekend, weekday or random timing options. The controller has twelve channels that can each control up to sixteen devices. I do not foresee the day I use the max abilities of the system. But we will see. So even with the initial frustration, if you were looking for a wireless solution, I would recommend this system.

Note: Read the instructions once through before attempting to program the unit. It's not intuitive and does not lend itself to guessing.CFLs: The lamp module says not for use with florescent lights. My lamp with a CFL works fine. Regular florescent lights are not for use with dimmers. They now have CFLs that are. I keep mine at full brightness.Pros: - Being able to adjust the timer and set auto daylight savings time all on the base unit is very nice. - Nice selection of add on units. I will be able to control the outdoor garage lights from the car with a future add on. - Good level of control over units.Cons: - Pricey. Add on modules and switches are also pricey. - Can be hard for non-programmers to program and get working.Unknown:- Will I lose my programming when I have to change batteries in the base unit?- If the power goes out, will the lamps stay off or will they turn back on if they were on when the power went out?Previously, we had the lamp and the front room and the one in the back room on timers. Timers have the disadvantages that they have to be adjusted every time we go on or off DST. They also get off when the power is out for a while. Once they go into the off cycle, it is very hard to crawl behind the couch to turn them on if you are staying up later. The Intermatic unit fixes all of these problems and was a nice upgrade. We can now turn on the lights from upstairs, adjust the timer settings and add future upgrades.Update: The daylight savings time update happened April 6th, so this seems to be on the old schedule.

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. I haven't taken advantage all of this control unit's capabilities yet (it has a built in clock and calendar to turn lights on and off when you're away) but I expect it to work as advertised as well.
