Is this device Z-Wave compatible? The answers so far are completely useless... some say it is, some say it's not.

This works with my vivint panel; however I believe they have released a newer version of the panel and I am not sure it will work with it. I did have an initial problem as Vivint programmed it as a wired sensor rather than a wireless when they added it, but after the tech found that it has worked like a charm.

I have the 2 gig panel and I could not get it to connect. So for me I say its useless.

We called our customer service at Vivint and they were added to our vivint system. I believe Vivint is Z Wave. Hope this helps.

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

You need an existing Z-Wave network and controller to use this device, not WiFi. An example of Z-Wave controllers: MiCasa Verde, 2Gig, Aeon, SmartThings.

It is zwave so it will work on any zwave system that is subscription or non subscription such as VERA. I found battery life when running zwave to be a problem and switched to Quickset and have had NO problems with them.

There are two different plugin modules. One is Wifi and the other is Zwave. It can have none, either Wifi of Zwave or both. Most are sold with the Wifi.

No. this device is not Z-Wave compatible. It does not require AC power, it uses one 3V CR123A lithium Battery.

you can use it with z-wave, not with zigbee. i use it with with a z-wave controller and it works very well. you don't need a security (alarm) system.

Supposedly if you can learn it into your zwave network, it should be able to control a garage door by sending a quick on then off again signal. I am 0 for 2 getting mine to actually control the door. One blew out as soon as I applied 120v, the other one seems to work and I can hear the relay click, but nothing happens.

I believe you need to buy a subscription with this unit to control it over the phone. It might be that you can buy something else to go with it but it won't just work on it's own. It is z-wave compatible so my husband is currently writing his own software for us to be able to control it on our phone without having to subscribe or buy anything else. He is close to be done - he has it so he can control it via the phone but he wants it to be able to send us reports and work with artificial intelligence to learn our habits. He is a big open source guy so once he has it done, he will probably post the application for others to use but I don't know when he will finish it.

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; this is not a Z-Wave device. This is a ZigBee device - I believe it conforms to the ZigBee Home Automation standard but I'm not 100% sure.

I don't think it should affect the Z-Wave...Make sure the path to the Z-Wave is unobstructed...I wanted one installed in my upstairs as well as downstairs..Upstairs wouldn't work...Downstairs worked like a charm..Signal couldn't get through walls, floor, etc...:-(

I would not count on SmartThings for anything mission-critical like this. They've been having trouble keeping their online services up and running lately, and they *will* let you down. My devices have been completely unreliable over the last two weeks. As far as I am concerned, this is purely a hobby thing and a placeholder until a company that has it's act together comes along and makes a Z-wave control that actually works (Nest buying Revolv suggests that this may finally be coming, but no eta).

I don't think that it works with the Pulse system... but I'm not 100% sure. Pulse is picky about which devices it considers "Approved to work with Pulse" and this device itself is a bit odd and sometimes picky. What kinds of problems are you having? This is definitely a curiously PICKY device in some ways and if you're trying to get it to INCLUDE and it's not working it could be how you're doing it; It's not always just a simple "Press and it's done" like most devices. This one you may have to first EXCLUDE -- three quick presses then HOLD... That's EXCLUDE. Then, to INCLUDE, one single press. But once it is in the system it works like any other Z-Wave device, depending on what you're attaching it to. Pulse is not exactly full open Z-Wave; it appears to be somewhat proprietary, so you may have best luck getting an authorized dealer or installer to talk to you more about the LFM-20's working with it. I hope this is useful. -J

There is a wireless push button remote available for it. Search Ebay and you will find it. I do not think it is Z-Wave compatible.

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

This uses only Z-wave, no wifi or other protocol. You must have a z wave controller. Veralite is the best solution although other hubs work with wave.
