I'm new to the Z-wave domain. Does this let you connect to any brand of Z-wave devices or just Honeywell Z-wave devices?

I am just jumping in myself. I specifically purchased the 5100 and this module to connect to my devices. Yes, it will connect to other devices (locks, lights, thermostats etc). The automation features seem to allow you to create scenes and tasks (although I haven't started this yet). I DID pair my Schlage lock to the 5100 - but I haven't done much more. That said, I still probably think the MiCasa Verde products offer a bit more support, flexibility and user support.

while i cant technically fully answer your question but i have yet to run into a device that doesn't work. I found that the lowes system (cant remember the name) does nit work as I suspect it is more proprietary. Zwave itself is an open design so there are many devices that work. BTW the zwave locks are great because they can disarm the alarm and vice a versa.

It did not work with my Honeywell which is so easy to pair. I sent it back. I also notice its not in stock anymore. I think it's a dud. Check out the honeywell version for your needs. If you are still in the return window, I would return the Aeon Lab model.

Don't know. Mine is installed on a Honeywell Vista system. It is not Zwave.

I really have no idea, since the thing shipped without instructions... just says to pair the controller with the various devices, with no instructions as to HOW to do that. And since all of my Z-wave devices are integrated into my security system, I didn't want to take a chance on screwing that up, so i didn't experiment.

Unsure about a Z-Stick, but it paired fine with my Vera Lite, so I would guess other Z-Wave controllers will also work.

No Zwave devices can be programmed directly into touch controller like wireless devices. I have programmed light switches, door locks, etc. and this thing pics them up without a problem. I also have a wired alarm system which connects to this controller with just two conductors, just like the old fashioned controllers used to.

I am going to answer this here, since it's typical of me to browse questions before reviews and comments on reviews. After reading those, I see the answer is: NO. This is NOT Z-Wave compliant technology. It is only for use with some other system.

I can only tell you from my experience and installations. Check to make sure that the device says Z-Wave compliant. Iris from Lowes uses a controller that has both WiFi and Zwave devices co-existing and they sell them side by side but dont grab the wrong one as it wont work. Must be Z-wave. If you go to wikipedia and do a search there is an awesome Zwave forum and they discuss all the devices. just google the words wikipedia and zwave and you will see it. Good Luck

It is my understanding that he SmartThings system is based on the idea of open standards with the goal of making everything compatible with everything. I know that z-wave and zigbee devices work with the SmartThings hub but I am not sure if devices made by SmartThings is compatible with z-wave or zigbee systems. The web site says, "the SmartSense Motion also acts as a range extender for your ZigBee network." Having said all of that, SmartThings has excellent customer service. Send them an email and they will bet back to you fairly quickly.

If you do not use the nexia bridge then: This will work by itself fine but you do not have remote opening or monitoring capability. You need another zwave controller to remotely unlock it or monitor it. If you don't use the nexia bridge however other zwave controllers have more capability, work faster and do not require a monthly fee.

This unit is only for z wave networks. It will not connect directly to wifi but if you are using a z wave network like mi casa verde or through an alarm company then it will show as parart of z wave devices. If you need a wifi enabled thermostat, then this will not be the one for you.

To be clear, this is not a Z-Wave sensor and will not work with Z-Wave only devices. You will need a 2GIG GO!Control panel to use this sensor, I think this is where some confusion lies as the GO!Control panel has a Z-Wave controller built in but it does not use Z-Wave for security sensors such as this.

I have 2 of these in my house. You install it by wiring it in parallel to our existing garage door button. There's a good guide here (http://www.bornsupercharged.com/tech-shit/controlling-overhead-garage-door-with-z-wave/) that talks about it. Once it is installed you will pair the LFM-20 to whatever z-wave system you currently have then it will allow your z-wave system to control your garage.I believe that button you see is used for pairing the LFM-20 to your z-wave hub. It is recessed since you only need to use it once when you pair.

Hello, I'm not sure what your asking , your question is not very clear. Verizon FIOS is internet. What are you trying to do with the 2 gig alarm products? Zwave function is similar to blutooth, only its compantible with z-wave alarm products such as, z-wave door locks, z-wave thermostats etc..

One can control most Z-Wave devices with a smart phone...indirectly. Usually customers buy Z-wave devices to add to a smart home (or to create a smart home) through the use of a third party monitoring provider. One example of these is Nexia. For a small monthly fee, Nexia provides a free smart phone app (and computer-based software) to allow the owner remote control of lights, thermostats and other appliances. I have three cameras, a thermostat, all access door locks and all the lights in my house on the Nexia system. I can control or monitor everything from anywhere through an app on my phone as well as through a web-based program on any PC. The point is one cannot install this outlet and automatically control it through a smart phone. It does not come with an installable app which allows immediate control. There are many providers that offer an interface for control and monitoring. I will add that the technology works very well and is extremely useful.

I believe you have to purchase it separately. This z wave is a much lower frequency than wifi. I use the "Vera" z wave controller with 3 of these thermostats. The vera plugs into the router.

Yes. I had no issues connecting these to my Smart Things hub. I simply went to the add device screen, and pulled the plastic tab on the back of the sensor, waited a few seconds, and it appeared under <Other Devices> as a Z-Wave Door/Window Sensor.
