The product to be covered in this review is interesting given the rather powerful abilities it fits into a very compact device. The NodOn Z-Wave Soft Remote (model CRC-3US-6) is a rubbery little device with four buttons that can be used in one of two ways with your other Z-Wave devices. It can serve as the primary controller for up to 16 Z-Wave devices, meaning you don't need to invest in a standalone hub that interfaces with a phone app. Considering the NodOn Soft Remote is $49.95 at The Smartest House, this might be a cost effective way to ease yourself in to the home automation scene. Additionally, the device can be configured to work as a gateway to communicate with other Z-Wave controllers, while still allowing you to control 16 different devices/scenes. You can either add it to your established network as a convenient way to control your devices, or if you do start out with the Soft Remote as your controller, you can later pick a full fledged hub to expand your network while keeping the Soft Remote as a means to control your devices.
