-**The preferred way controlling a Z-Wave network from XTension is with a [[supported_hardware:vera|Vera]] interface. The other interfaces on this page should be considered in Legacy support mode. If you already have one you may get some good use out of it with XTension, but it will not support all the features of a modern Z-Wave network and there are unlikely to be significant software updates to support these features on devices that are no longer available.**
+**NOTE: The ZTroller plugin will not be rebuilt to support OSX Catalina and newer and will no longer be included in the distribution. If you are running Mojave or earlier and wish to continue to use the ZTroller plugin please download the [[https://machomeautomation.com/files/xtension/legacy_plugins.zip|Legacy Plugins file]] and use the “Install Plugin...” menu item from the Database menu to install it. This will install the plugin in your database and you can continue to use it as long as you do not update the OS past Mojave.**
 Z-Wave is a RF-based mesh networking technology where each node or device on the network is capable of sending and receiving commands through walls or floors and use intermediate nodes to route around household obstacles or radio dead spots that might occur in the home. Z-Wave devices can work individually or in groups, and can be programmed into scenes or events that trigger multiple devices, either automatically or via remote control.

 ==== How well does XTension support Z-Wave ? ====
-**XTension** works with all of the Zensys-certified primary controllers.  This is a specification that requires certification from the Z-Wave Alliance, and if the controller meets this certification, it should work with **XT**ension.  But please ask the 'xtensionlist' before purchasing any controller that is not listed here.

For full featured ZWave support with security and ZWave 2 features please have a look at one of the [[supported_hardware:index|newer ZWave plugins]] and consider a new device to run your network.
