FYI, the guys at the Filterwatch Kickstarter campaign added Smartthings support to measure/alert airflow. Perfect to let you know when your A/C filter or your dryer vent is clogged (which could lead to fire).

I plan to use this direct with SmartThings and also with my Spark Cores to monitor my dryer vent (I don’t like the thought of fire), my A/C filter (so I can sneeze less), and to monitor my attic fan (last one died and smoked for a while before finally tripping the breaker).

SmartThings does have a Zigbee radio in it. The things you get from SmartThings (Outlet, Tags, Multi, Motion Sensor) are all Zigbee.
