Default Mi Casa Verde "Vera 2" Z-wave

I have the latest build of Mcontrol plus the “professional system module”.

Preciously I had a grab bag of Insteon devices (switches, dimmers, motion sensors, door sensors, PIR floods) with Z wave switches, thermostats, temp/humidity sensors and dimmers. It was run on the Vera 2.
All these Zwave devices behaved well, but the Insteon devices only return the basic status. But it was possible to reliably trigger a Zwave light from an Insteon door sensor or motion sensor.
The Mcontrol V3 accurately report the status and rapidly switches on and off Insteon devices. It connects to, and communicates with Vera. If the Vera turns on a zwave light, Mcontrol shows it to be on approximately 1 minute later and has a 50% hit rate turning the Zwave light off. It is incapable of turning a Zwave device in the opposition back to on.
