It feels like we were waiting for the Z-Wave micro modules for too many years… but now, they have finally arrived. According to rumours we can expect two different manufacturers, giving their best shot at the Z-Wave micro module market around the end of September 2011. Will this be the end of the older-skool X10 based Marmitek / Xanura micro modules? I would certainly hope so :-).
