It will not work well with SmartThings unless you have pre-programmed it with a different zwave controller, which most people don’t have unless they are migrating from a different system. It also will not be able to control any other devices in your SmartThings set up, such as Zigbee or Wi-Fi devices. The problem is that these devices are intended to be used in all zwave networks. They rely on specific Z wave commands that do not communicate to the hub, but just speak directly to the devices they control. In SmartThings, commands are generally relayed to the hub, which is what gives us the option to mix zwave and zigbee devices in the same routine. So that’s a good thing generally, but it does mean that devices that rely on protoco…
