Will this work as a hub for 'Smartthings' (smartthings.com), which is also z-wave or if I want to use 'smartthings' do I need to buy their hub?

I don't mix devices between controllers, so I don't really know if smarthings devices will work with a Vera controller. They both may be z-wave based, and should be compatible, but if you're asking me, you are asking for trouble. If your new to HA, pick a controller and buy devices from the same manufacturer.

If you already have a zwave hub, then no, otherwise yes. I have ADT Pulse, so zwave is included in my monthly fee.

It does not support proximity unlock but does work with any z-wave hub. I am using Wink which does not provide a lot of configuration options. Would recommend a hub that is more robust.

Technically it should as they are both z-wave and should be universal products. However, some items sold have a pre-set manufacture code and you would have to reset this to enable it to work. Also, if you bought this through an alarm or home automation company that did the complete install, you might run into a problem with the same pre-programming (ie Time Warner home automation buys a certain radio controller that is put into their z wave products which keeps a customer from only buying products from them but you can just change out the radio module on back). However with all that said, it is a great product and if it doesn't work Amazon is great at excepting returns, especially if you are prime. Hope this helps and good luck!

A gateway/hub is needed to remotely control the Smart Strip. There are many great ones on Amazon like the the Vera, Smart Things, and Aeotec makes a USB based one (but you need a computer to operate.

Each 'thing' has its own id and communicates to smartthings hub, hub is wired to your router, so in essence you want to have tight security for router. Only bad thing with the system is if you lose internet connection or power to your home, system does you no good. I love system so far.. Just a lil troubling when adding aftermarket things, like cameras and door locks.. Don't know if I answered your question.. Check out the website smatthings and contact them. They have a chat set up and are very helpful

I am successfully using this with SmartThings. Super easy to install on door and connect to hub.

I am sorry, I can not help with your specific question. I use it with Vera Lite. However I had a heck of a time getting it to work. Once I was able to get it setup in Vera, it has been totally reliable. As the switch is Z-wave compliant and Leviton is one of the bigger players in the Z-wave arena, if Smartthings works with Z-wave, you should be able to get it to work.

this is Z-wave so if your harmony supports Zwave, only then will it work. I have Harmony one and it doesn't work.

Sort of... You use this by plugging into your PC and it is the hardware part of the hub you need to control Z-Wave devices. This acts as the hardware you need to communicate with the Z-Wave devices which are not on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth spectrum. Once you have this you still need software. I think that InControl Home Automation is tested with the Aeon stick. I didn't have any success getting consistent communication with InControl though. I ended up with a google TV and EnBlink stick instead of this and InControl. The Enblink setup has worked flawlessly.

ZigBee and Z-Wave use the 900 MHz range not 2.4 / 5 GHz. Your SmartThings hub uses these frequencies but then uses 2.4GHz to communicate with switches like WeMo as well as your wireless router. Wink can only use ZigBee and Z-Wave and can not be used with wifi device like WeMo or Ecobee3, only your router.

No. They are on a different frequencies. Z-wave is designed for home automation. They can communicate with the 2GIG Control Panel, it has a built-in Z-Wave RF Protocol allowing it to act as a central hub. There is a fee through your alarm company in order to unlock remotely....a few bucks per month, worth it.

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.

Havent try Smartthings so far Ive tried Homegenie (they support the old Home Energy Meter so it needs some tweaking to make it work) and ZVirtualScenes

No you do not. In fact if you want to use remotely you do not need a service if you have a z wave hub. I use Vera lite and it works like a charm. It is very helpful to get a text, email or both when it is accessed or locked. I know who entered and when. I just bought two more of these locks.

This connects to your local ZigBee hub. What you do with it from there is your business. So yes you could connect this sensor and a siren to your hub, and have the local siren sound when this switch was triggered.

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.
