HomeSeer really is dedicated to riding the Z-Wave. They’ve already got quite an impressive list of offerings that support the wireless technology, and now they’ve announced the Z-Troller controller.

The controller eliminates the need to set up your home control system via a separate computer interface; the Z-Troller is self-contained. With one button, you can add, delete or call out any Z-Wave device on the network.

The first units will have a serial interface. USB models are coming next year.—Rachel Cericola
