I already bought one device a few weeks ago and I can highly recommend the Z-Wave Sniffer as a tool to in depth investigate Z-Wave data packages (frames) floating through your network. It makes a lot of fun to watching how the Z-Wave sensors and actuators do exchange information with their route device (static route controller). The Sniffer works very well and Jon’s support is really outstanding.
