I then asked that if we put in a Zigbee system and its unstable, if they'd swap it out for the 433 parts.....he said "NO." I guess their confidence in the product isn't that high yet. Of course, he was probably just covering his ass,
Probably not because he has little faith in the equipment, but because circumstances in the field can vary so much. Swapping out equipment with the installer means the creation of B stock. That's an instant money loser for the manufacturer. Or for the distributor. Can you imagine how they would administer that? Would you be okay with buying RTI equipment that someone else could not make work, and paying regular price for it?
but to be honest, we don't have the time to spend "troubleshooting" (b/c that's really what it is)
Yes, it sure is.
the zigbee network to determine its range and where/if more repeaters are needed AND THEN doing it again once the 2nd antenna is installed to see how it has affected the first.
As far as I can tell, that IS what's requred. That's why I'm reading these threads and not installing Zigbee yet -- I want it rock solid when I do it.
