Do I have to purchase the Nexia bridge and subscription for this to work with the Smartthings hub?

If you want to be able to view it and open or close it over the Internet you will need the Nexia bridge and a subscription

NO you don't need Nexia... I am using with Smartthings Hub with excellent results...

It's theoretically possible that you could get it to work with a different ZigBee hub rather than the SmartThings branded hub, but you will not get it to do anything without a hub of some kind.

These answers are not correct, the bridge will offer limited functions. You can control your lights and thermostat without a subscription. Please note that when you add a light module it will ask you to upgrade, logout and close your browser, then log back in.

You have to purchase an iFit module. I think they are like $100. If you have a subscription, you should be able to use it for unlimited pieces of equipment.

It works with a subscription with NEXIA, $99 a year. I have it for the last 3 years. I can control the main door, a light , and a video camera. It also has the capability to controls climate control systems. It requires additional equipment (a bridge) to safely control the devices. Without a subscription this type of lock is not cost effective

You can control your wemo devices, as well as things like the zigbee based LED lightbulbs selling in the $15 price range... The SmartThings hub bridges multiple communication standards with one app, and a lot of other features. So it just depends on if you have enough with what you have, or if you want more.

Yes, but you do need an Insteon compatible hub connected in your home network and an App on your smartphone.

I have had both Mi casa and nexia and used schlage dead bolts on both systems. Since they are z wave wireless devices they work with most automation systems that use zwave.

Hi Tj, this is Ryan from the SmartThings support team. Thanks for your question about the SmartThings Hub. We don't expect that we would ever offer a completely disconnected service. That said, in the next phase of our growth, we expect to offer a Version 2 SmartThings Hub that supports temporary local Internet outages. The reason for this is that there are lots of devices that don't require a hub at all - and those devices need to work together - and that requires the SmartThings Cloud. Thanks again and if you have any other questions, feel free and email us at support@smartthings.com

Without the bridge you can add/remover users at the deadbolt. You need the bridge to do things like send email alerts add/remove from the app or website of Nexia

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.

Yes. You can pair any z channel product with nexia. I would begin with plugging the z-stick somewhere closer to the bridge first. If there are walls or objects in the way (for instance, if your z-stick or device is downstairs and your bridge is upstairs), you may need a connector "mid point" connect to communicate with the devices. The devices work but sometimes a bit flaky. I've eliminated the flaky device status by setting up a daily activity either turn on or turn off the device automatically. I hope this works for you.

I can confirm that this does work with SmartThings. I don't know the range limit of this device, but I do know that it can be extended by having other Zwave devices between it and the hub due to the Zwave mesh network. http://www.z-wave.com/questions

This item will either require a subscription to Nexia and a Nexia Bridge with internet connection or some sort of non-subscription based "brain" for your home like the Mi Casa Verde VeraLite Home Controller. Originally I was fairly against paying $8 a month for a subscription to monitor the house, but after looking at alarm company costs as well as the costs of home automation/alarms through companies like comcast, verizon and at&t;, the Nexia pricing comes off looking like a steal.

If you're looking to use it with the official Nexia system, it does require a subscription. With Vera or HomeSeer, it does not.

No for that price all you get is the hub, and "Slots"You need to purchase each module separately. I have 3 modules I purchased after I found that out.

You also need the Nexia bridge. This is what communicates withe the z wave devices.
