Does anyone knows something about DI-O home automations modules?

Anything about the quality on the long term for example?

I have installed one module this morning and it works great, it works on 433,92 MHz and the RFXCom has support for it. So I got it working in no time.
So far it works great.

No, it is not KaKu. It might be related though. I you see the product they do differ from KaKu.

Is sure looks some kind of Kaku, I agree.

I have checked it and think you are right, it does look a lot as not precise like KaKu.

I have no particuler reason to ask, just curious. As RFXcom also supports it I thought I'd drop a question here to see if anyone else was familiar with the products.

I have tried a view more today and it works remakably easy to configure with homeseer, the range is also great. And even better I can get it very cheap.

If I have some more long term experience with the product I will post it here. :wink:

Hello there. I have a few DI-O devices at home and they're pretty good.
I'm finding out (as the documentation is not too good) that both the transmitter and receivers have limited memory.
Apparently the transmitters (basic 3 button type) store only 5 receivers per button. This is not too bad but not enough for what I'd like to do which is to have only one button to turn everything on (or off) with one keypress.

After some more testing.... now it seems that one remote can control more receivers than I thought... Configured in one button 6 wall plugs.

I have also tested some of DI-O devices.
They are okay and works fine.
The wall switches are more elegant then other 433 devices
