CAD..............I just dont like you right now.

You did all that research on which Zwave switch is better and convinced me that the Lutron switch is the best (well i looks the best to me), So i went with them. My whole house that i wanted automated 20 something switches.

Well as you know im switching from Wink 1 to Smartthings and come to find out, the lutron switches are not compatible with STs (without a lutron bridge because the signal isnt really Zwave). really WTF. How can a small unknown shitty company like WINK who has almost gone under a couple time have the ability to natively connect to the Lutron network yet the Mr. Big Dick Samsung cant. And only just now got them integrated with the required 100$ lutron bridge.

Lucky for you i was browsing ebay last night and saw a 100 OBO for the Lutron bridge pro. and i offeres 65$ and the guys accepted it. He must have really wanted to get rid of it. But if not for that i would be even more pissed at you.

Now i have to have my ST hub, next to my Lutron hub, next to my Hue hub, next to my Harmony hub. My Closet is almost hubed out.

hey i never told you to switch to smartthings, big guy. that's on you.

and look at it this way, when samsung sells ST to Run DMC in a year, you'll still have your lutron hub to control your lights...lutron isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

eta and while i'm here, a new MOVEZ update came in last night:

UPDATE #10

quote:
We hope that you are all well.
The cold has come to Sweden and the hysteric shopping for christmas presents has begun :)
For all of you that has friends that does not have a home automation hub at home you are always welcome to mention our Bluetooth version MOVE ;)

We have a question!
We would like to know if there are any interest from you to be able to pull sensor data from MOVEZ. Each MOVEZ could be able to report temperature and a sun value (sun value will be based upon the solar panel).
Please answer “YES” or “NO” in the comments below or send your answer to info@teptron.com and we will go through the answers and see if there is enough interest to make that a reality :)

Status information
We can happily inform that we are taking steps forward with the development of MOVEZ. Like we have mentioned earlier we have had some issues with code and components which have caused delays. But the list of things needed to be corrected is getting smaller every day. One of the biggest challenges that we did not anticipate this time around is how many different certification regulations we need to conform to. There are a lot more documents to go through this time compare to what we needed go through with the first bluetooth MOVE.
We totally understand that you all want MOVEZ now! We are pushing forward as fast as we can but unfortunately due to code and component problems we have not been able to get further in the certification process. That said and to give an estimate based upon the current situation we believe that we will be able to ship the first quarter of 2018.

If you have any questions please send them to info@teptron.com
Take care!

MOVEZ Team

On that note, I've been looking for ambient lights for behind the TV. I see that Hue has lights that do numerous colors for 89$ at BestBuy.

I have a gen1 Wink hub but I'd also need to add a Hue hub too, correct? That's not ideal. Are their any ambient lights for behind the TV that are wink compatible out of the box?
