Clearly, my capabilities are not as high as some of the people here. I was able to add a fair amount of switches with the SmartThings V2 (about 40 Aeotec DSC24-ZWUS) and do some simple routines. But I get a sense of dread at the thought of having to redo all this work. Most of my devices are Z-Wave…

I bought my (first) V2 hub 4 years ago. Condition ‘as is’ on eBay with 4 badly leaking alkaline batteries that did not impact the circuit board and were easy to clean out.
