This is a solidly built controller for Leviton's Vizia components. There is a short, small-format, detailed User Guide, but it skips many of the basics. Leviton has an extensive web-based tutorial on its website. Viewing this is a must for anyone considering or deploying a Vizia system. Note: this is not the generic video about how great Vizia is. It's the detailed information on planning and implementing it. Look for the "ez-Learn" tutorials about Vizia.

While this controller has a lot going for it, its most used button (OK) is by far the most difficult to use. (I have average size fingers.) This is the reason I dinged it one star. It is too small and it is sandwiched between FOUR other buttons. It is very easy to push one of these other buttons (direction control) instead of Select. I don't see how this got past any sort of usability testing.

Programming this controller is a lot easier once you've seen the ez-Learn Vizia tutorial. Keep in mind that Vizia is mostly about lighting, but the Z-Wave system from other manufacturers goes far beyond that.
