The Vision battery operated siren and strobe has complemented Z-Wave enabled safety & security systems for quite some time. We're now also offering an A/C mains powered version (with battery backup) for improved reliability and flexibility. Because it's mains powered, it will also act as a signal repeater allowing you to extend the range of your Z-Wave network. Just like the original version though, this device will continue to work even in the event of a power outage.

Z-Wave is a wireless technology specifically designed for home automation. ​It allows ordinary household devices, such as a light switch or a thermostat, to "talk" to one another, giving them the capability to perform functions automatically. Z-Wave doesn't suffer from the same range and interference issues associated with other wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi, and can operate efficiently and reliably in even the largest homes.

imperihome.com

First up there's ImperiHome. This app wins our vote for the best of the best! It will not only interface with all Vera controllers but a plethora of other systems as well, including Fibaro Home Center 2, MPEG/h264 cameras, Philips HUE and many more. You can read about the full list of features here but what we love most about this app is that the UI is super-fast and completely configurable. And, when paired with the Vera ImperiHome plugin, you can also control certain aspects of the app from within your scenes.
