    Excited new zwave user!! but basic question is cutting my excitement. Please help!

     Chris and others.

     I am really excited about the Zwave system.  I have purchased many modules, two HA07 Master Controllers,several HA09 remotes and ThinkEssentials/USB stick.  I upgraded the ThinkEssentials to 2.0.

     I use energy saver light bulbs.  Therefore, I have set up six zones since they are on/off.  I cannot figure out if there is anyway in ThinkEssentials to associate my zones with channels.  I replicated settings to my other controllers.

     How do I associate scenes with channels and then replicate them to other controllers?  Or do I have to individually set up every single remote with channel/module information.

     Alternatively, can I make a HA07 Master Controller as my primary, set up channels for zones and then replicate that unit to other controllers.

     I find it hard to believe that every remote needs to be set up for every channel and every module.  Please help.

     Otherwise, I love the system.  Its mesh approach appears extremely reliable.

     Thank you

    Bob S,

    You can set up one of your Intermatic remotes as primary and then copy it over to all the other remotes and to your PC.

    We're also working on the ability to set up the channels in the remote, and plan to add that to ThinkEssentials in the near future.

     Chris-

     Thank you for the very quick response.  Z wave is great and I want to get moving on my system.

     To clarify: If I want to replicate channel information, do I need to make my HA07 as a primary and replicate?

     And some day, ThinkEssentials will have this feature.  Is my understanding correct?

     Thank you again

     Bob S.
