Are there any fees to use the Nexia app to control Z-wave devices? Monthly fees etc?

Yes there is a $10 monthly fee for the nexia site which includes the app but you can add on other nexia stuff to it like plug in switches and cameras though not sure if extra camera storage beyond their standard amount is extra or even possible.

I use this device with a micasa very lite. Mi Casa Verde VeraLite Home Controller, White and GreenNo monthly fees. The Very lite acts as the central control system of your ZWave products. The pros is that it can be expanded to be used w most home automated devices and it is extremely flexible. The con's is that it does require some configuration and a little bit of technical knowledge to do so. Get your grandson to program it for you!

I have not connected it to the Internet so do not know the options or costs

Yes, about $9 per month. Looked online and it seems these can be controlled by some other systems to avoid the cost but I have not had time to research it. Good product but the other issue I have is they charge another $9 for each additional house you add instead of giving you a break at a reduced rate. Looking to add third house so may have to figure out how to change to one of the non-fee Z-Wave services.

No Zwave devices can be programmed directly into touch controller like wireless devices. I have programmed light switches, door locks, etc. and this thing pics them up without a problem. I also have a wired alarm system which connects to this controller with just two conductors, just like the old fashioned controllers used to.

Yes, it is, in fact I buy the interchangeable switches at Lowes to use with my Mi Casa Verde VeraLite Home Controller, everything Iris woks perfectly and there is no monthly fee. It just needs to say "Z-Wave".

no unfortunately the zwave device can only be associated with one controller.

You need an existing Z-Wave network and controller to use this device, not WiFi. An example of Z-Wave controllers: MiCasa Verde, 2Gig, Aeon, SmartThings.

Z wave products must have a master controller. You can use one of the GET remotes as a master but if you're really wanting to get into the z wave world I recommend the Vera Lite by MiCasa Verde. With that controller you can access your devices remotely from your phone and it's pretty comprehensive as far as programming timers and macros.

Not directly. You need to purchase a Z-wave hub like Mi Casa Verde's Vera. You pair Vera and the lock. Vera has iPhone App that will then let you control the lock

Unfortunately it will not. The problem is that myQ lacks any kind of zwave standard. Its a proprietary protocol. The only mechanisms that support myQ is their app and alarm.com (due to their partnership. I personally have alarm.com. I had some confusion with my security vendor as they wanted to charge me $300 for this. I found out I could just set it up myself. The setup is done completely through alarm.com. I simply press the myQ button on the garage door opener and the gateway when prompted online and that is it. Just wanted to give you an idea that it really doesn't use zwave standards. If you go for this, you will have to use a separate app unfortunately.

IF you are referring to the 2 gig thermostat made by Honeywell then yes it will work with the Nexia Bridge. Nexia operates off of the Z-Wave Technology. Any device functioning using a Z-Wave program format will communicate with the Nexia or any of the two other types of Z-Wave controllers.

Sorry I have never tried to connect any Z wave to a home system Vera router or home automation system. Most Z wave will work as stand alone automation or IR controls.

well this would work for this situation that you're talking about it would be pointless to do because you act just like the switch that you are replacing. you need to have the control panel and use the wave to communicate to it to set up the timer and everything else. so I guess I'm saying is I wouldn't spend the extra money for this unless you're using the Z Wave.

No monthly fee. You need a controller unit as a base, then you add as many accessory devices you want.

Yes. Www.z-wave.com has a lot of info. If you ever want to add alarm.com so you can control from outside the home I can set you up on a cheap plan with no contract.

No. They are on a different frequencies. Z-wave is designed for home automation. They can communicate with the 2GIG Control Panel, it has a built-in Z-Wave RF Protocol allowing it to act as a central hub. There is a fee through your alarm company in order to unlock remotely....a few bucks per month, worth it.

No fees.... Works like a wireless printer thru your router. Just download the free app and start watching through the eye of the device...

I have a couple dozen of these controlled by my SmartPhone... but it's all dependent upon the Z-Wave controller you have in place. Do you have one of those yet? A good starter is one of the MiCasaVerde Vera units. There are several models. (also available here on Amazon). Then you'll also need some App interface. If you're using a Vera and an Android device, for instance, you'd use the app called "Home Buddy". But the short answer: "Yes, (assuming all else is in place) this can be controlled with your Smart Phone. : )

It needs a Nexia subscription an a z-WAVE router. I was not happy about it.
