Is it possible to control another Z-Wave hub (Piper NV) with ST Hub?

[Ben_Grimes]

I’ve just ordered a Smartthings Hub 2.0 and am working on a video monitoring solution. One of the primary requirements is that it needs to look not-too-bad – good enough to pass the spouse’s muster. I’m considering the Piper NV, but that device is also a z-wave hub. Is it possible to control one z-wave hub with another? Can the Smartthings Hub recognize and control another z-wave hub just like a z-wave device?

…And while I’ve got your attention, any other thoughts on video monitoring. Good/decent looks and audio are a priority; battery-powered preferred.

Thanks.

Not really no. Hub/Controllers are generally no designed to communicate with each other. I’m guessing what you want is to be able to use ST hub to talk to the Piper NV to talk to security cameras, yes?

This would be a specialized case and would need collaboration from ST and Piper. Honestly, you’d probably have FAR more success doing a cloud-to-cloud communication vs. Z-wave hub to z-wave hub.

I have piper and you can’t integrate it with ST right now. Highly doubt it anytime soon.

Video Monitoring - V2 Hub - Intergration with existing camera systems

I'm super excited about the video integration with the V2 hub. A couple quick questions... Will ST be able to accept video source feeds (Mp4)? Also, I'm particularly interested in integrating an existing camera system I have, which can provide a RTSP service for each camera. heart_eyes I'm assuming something like this wont be available today, at launch, but might it be on the roadmap?

Try looking at Netatmo Welcome Camera. It’s early in its development and there is no direct support from ST but it looks very nonchalant and has IFTTT support (beta) so you can use ST virtual switches with it.

Netamo Welcome camera and Smarthings?

Has anyone taken a look at the new camera from Netamo the Welcome. I just got one and I am pretty happy with it. I would be happier if it integrated with Smartthings. wink Does anyone have any ideas?

Fellas, Thanks for the feedback, tips, and resources. Will definitely check out some of the options you recommended.

Has anyone build a SmartDevice to work with the Netatmo welcome camera? thx

I saw a Piper to Smart Things Applet in IFTTT, but I don’t think you can see Piper’s video feed in ST app. I just bought ST and I have the first gen Piper, so looking forward to hook them up.
