I’m trying to get started on the cheap. Lol I have run across a lot of cheap stuff on ebay and I’m wondering if it is any good. Here is one of the Lights I have been thinking about buying. Please let me know what you think.
GoControl LB65R6Z-1 Z-Wave Plus Smart LED
I have about 10 of them, They work fine for me. You need the custom driver. Z-Wave Switch and Child Mc. If you cant figure it out, either me or one of the other fine people on here will help. These are Z-wave and if your going to use them with ST then you need to have a V2 or V3 hub. The ST Station doesn’t support Z-Wave. They seem cheap enough!
Thank you. I have so many questions.
You’re welcome! Feel free to ask anything — there are a lot of helpful people on this forum. Most of the stuff on eBay is inexpensive, and you can get started pretty quickly. Most of my setup is still made up of Iris gear I found on eBay.
Before you buy anything, come here and do a quick search to see if others have it working. Or just post about it and someone will come along with helpful information about it.
I will let you know if have more questions.
What about this water valve, any good? It says tested with smartthings. LeakSmart Zigbee Water Valve 8830000L Open Box SmartThings Hubitat USA Tested! | eBay
Here is a conversation about that water valve. from reading it, you have to load a community driver on your hub “Mariano’s Zigbee Valve Mc” you have to join his channel and then load the driver before you pair it with ST.
Ok, I guess I have a lot of reading to do. I figured out how to join driver channels and I’m in the process of adding a few devices that I purchased on line. I will let you know if I have more questions, which I am sure I will.
