HouseBot

Well, I just recieved my package from Hong Kong with the active RFID set. Just wanted to say, it's been very easy to set up in Housebot.

Hi, after trying Housebot for a while I just bought my first few z-wave devices and was wondering; is there any way to include a new device in the mesh network with having to buy a remote for that (with the Z-Wave Parameter Configuration perhaps)? I'm using the Homepro ZCU201 with usb2serial driver ...
