Sigh.

Yet another zwave switch died on me. I was able to replace it fairly easily (after forgetting to check the switch, even though HomeAssistant reported it was good.)

The "upgrade" is one that runs on Wifi. That needs an app. That talks to Leviton's servers.

Yeah, absolutely NO THANK YOU on that one.

(Debating seeing if I can fix the relay that failed in the old switch, just to have it on backup.)

This project has been a great excuse to learn fiber optic networking. Many thanks to Tom at lanshack.com/ who validated my design and sold me a pre-terminated fiber for the main run!
